BLOGGING
BASICS

Your easy to understand encyclopedia of blogging skills

Overwhelmed by Blogging?

Feeling overwhelmed with everything there is to learn as a new blogger? I've been there!

 

In an effort to help you get more done in less time I've created 22 videos that go over a lot of the basic skills you'll need as a blogger and WordPress user.

 

My goal is to help you spend less time figuring things out and more time actually doing stuff!

 

This course is broken up into three sections:

  • Improve your content
  • Improve your images
  • Get and stay organized

The videos are typically about 5 minutes long.

This course shows you how I actually do things after 15 years of blogging.

This isn't theory or something I picked up yesterday, these are real skills in the real world.

 

For example, my walk through of Google Analytics doesn't go over everything Google Analytics can do and just leave you more confused than you were before. Instead, I show you how I use Google Analytics on a daily basis, focusing on what you actually need to know.

Use it as a Resource

This course is intended to be a resource you can rely on over time. It will be continually updated as I come across more skills new bloggers need help with.You don't need to sit through all 22 videos at once. Use what you need right now and then come back for the others as needed.


Think of it like an encyclopedia of blogging skills. (Did I just totally date myself by saying “encyclopedia”? Probably.)

AFTER THIS COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

Improve Your Content

You will build skills and learn how to:

Create a table of contents so readers can easily navigate your articles (both with a plug in and by hand)

Create a button that increases conversions How to add sponsored and no follow tags to links (including when to use them)

and more…

Hi! I'm Ashley Barnett

I've been blogging for a long time. I started in 2005 with a mom blog before moving into personal finance in 2008.

After running my own sites for several years I moved into editing and blog management full time. I've had the pleasure of working with many sites in the personal finance niche, both big and small.

Today, I create high-quality content that gets great results for my clients.

Blogging can totally change your life but it sure doesn't come easy. I'm so excited to be on this journey with you.
