You will get the most out of this course if you have a blog set up... but it doesn't have to be 'established'.
You don't have to be receiving any traffic or have any special blogging skills or knowledge. The course does not go into how to set up a blog or discuss any technical or design aspects of blogging.
Are you ready to win the internet?
Hit Publish is a 10 lesson course that reveals:
- Why your blog isn't gaining traction (it isn't your social media strategy)
- What to focus on so all the advice you've gotten will actually start working (all the tricks in the world won't work until you nail this one thing)
- How to start making a real difference in the lives of your readers
If you've been blogging for awhile but have struggled to grow your traffic, you're not alone. I know you've tried to perfect your social media strategy and you've followed the SEO advice from Yoast to a “T”. But you still haven't been able to grow a consistent audience.
The competition on the internet if fierce! Millions of blog posts are published every single day. It's hard to get attention online but it CAN be done.
To get attention online you need high quality content that helps your reader. Read that again. — To get attention online you need high quality content that helps your reader.
High Quality Articles Get Results
High Quality Articles
- Get ranked on Google
- Gain traction on social media
- Make money
If you've tried all the blogging tips you can find and your traffic still isn't growing at the rate you'd like then, I hate to say it but, the problem is probably your articles.
Are your articles the best on the internet for their specific topic? Are they written to your specific user? Are they answering your reader's question?
Hit Publish teaches all this and more. I'll show you exactly how to create the best articles out there. Articles that get attention.
You weren't taught this but you can learn it
The trouble with blogging is that this is unlike any writing you've ever done before. You might love to write. You might be a great writer. But that doesn't mean you innately know how to write strong blog posts.
You can't just write and publish. There is more to writing an article than just putting words on “paper”. A whole lot more.
But just because you don't know it today doesn't mean you can't know it tomorrow.
You can spend years learning this stuff (like I did) or you can learn it in an afternoon. The choice is yours.
With Hit Publish you will:
- Discover how to write high quality articles that get results
- Learn how to prep your articles so that you can write them faster than ever before
- Avoid common mistakes when writing blog posts
- Finally understand what you're looking for in a keyword and how to identify a good one
- Get all the free tools and checklists you need to optimize your articles for Google and professionally edit your articles
Hi, I'm Ashley
I've been a blogger since 2005. Most of that time was spent in the personal finance niche.
I had my own site for several years but I've spent the past 7 years creating content for big personal finance blogs. I've edited for sites like:
- Money Under 30
- PT Money
- ChooseFI
- Wallet Hacks
- and more…
I can comfortably say I've edited over 3,000 articles.
After years of publishing, I've gotten really good at knowing what's working in an article and how to fix what isn't.
I put all that knowledge into this course. I took my years of experience and distilled it down to 10 lessons of what I wish every blogger knew.
I've created a fast track to creating amazing content.
I truly believe that anyone can do this. I created this course to help you reach your blogging goals faster.
Great content is the only thing that will attract and keep readers.
The best blogging advice I can give you is to never give up. Do it for the people who love it and forget the haters.
What Students Are Saying
If only we could have had this course in 2013 when we were getting started! Ashley provides solid, foundational information for those of us whose top priority is to make a difference in the lives of our audience. It was probably a year of spinning our wheels in the beginning before we got any traction at all on TeensGotCents. If you are just getting started or have been at it for a little while take advantage of this course so you don't do what we did in the beginning!

I love this course! It provided me with practical information in a usable format. I signed up for this course before I started writing content for my blog. It helped me get the writing ball rolling. I knew that I had that safety net of Ashley behind me which made all the difference

When I first started my blog, the guidance was all about finding the right theme, using the best images, and making sure I was on the right platform. All of those things definitely matter, but no one was showing me how to make my writing better. This course absolutely delivers on helping you improve your content creation, giving you an editor's eye for your own work, and focusing on content that readers want and can rely on. It provides actionable steps, tips, and resources to help you win at blogging. It's a must-have on your quest to better blogging.

Think back to why you started blogging
The Hit Publish course can teach you how to create better content. Content that will get you noticed online.
I've spent years learning how to do this. And you can absolutely learn it the same way I did. Spending years spinning your wheels and picking up tidbits here and there that you slowly work into your content over time.
Or…
You can learn it all in one afternoon with Hit Publish.
Stop for a moment and remember why you started your blog in the first place. Did you start it so you could spend hours creating content no one will ever read? I doubt it.
You started your site because you have something to share with the world. You want to impact your readers and you want to make money doing it! You want the freedom that “laptop lifestyle” brings.
You can jump start those results! You can piggy back on all the hard work I've already done.
How much faster could you meet your goals if you knew how to easily and quickly create the best content?
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Module 1
Step one of creating better content is understanding who you help and what you help them with.
So we start the course by defining your audience, niche, and competition.
You can't help everyone with everything -- I promise.
Module 2
Having an article idea isn't enough.
Here I'll walk you through the steps of taking an idea for an article and turning it into a fully formed outline with a clear purpose.
Module 3
Once you know what your article is about, you'll need a keyword.
I give you the free tools I use everyday to find keywords and how to use that keyword to make sure your article will be the best there is.
Module 4
Here we finally start writing!
I'll explain how to write compelling articles that will change your reader's lives.
I also give you the free tools the pros use to professionally edit.
Lastly, we will go over how to add the bells and whistles that will make your article stand out.
Bonus Module
Watch me "live" edit actual articles.
Here you'll find videos of me editing real articles in real time. I dig into real articles and go over what works and how to fix what doesn't.
You'll get to see all the concepts in this course put into action in real life.
Support
While this is a self paced online course, you are not in it alone. Learning new skills takes more than just watching videos. It takes practice and feedback.
Depending on which package you choose, Hit Publish will include:
Clinics
Three times per month you have access to video calls with Ashley, the course creator, where you get additional trainings and can ask questions about the course or anything specific to your site or your articles.
These are also recorded if you are unable to attend live.
Article Edits
You'll have the opportunity to submit three articles to Ashley for full, professional edits as well as video feedback about the article.
This feedback includes overall thoughts about the article as well as why I made the changes that I did so you can use those lessons in articles going forward.
Bonus: You also get the Hit Publish Community
When you enroll in any Hit Publish package you get more than just a course. You get a community.
With the course, you also get access to the Hit Publish members-only community. This is a community of bloggers from all levels who've come together to grow their sites.

FAQ
Q: Do I have to have an established blog to take this course?
Q: Do I have to buy expensive SEO tools to use this course?
Nope. I specifically kept all of my recommendations to free tools except for one... which is $10 total. (Not per month. Just $10.) But even then I give some recommendations for free options.
Q: How do I access the course?

Q: How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
CAN I LEARN HOW TO CREATE GREAT CONTENT WITHOUT THIS COURSE?
Yes, you can. I did.
Almost every blogger who creates amazing content learned how to do so on their own--without the benefit of a course like Hit Publish. The problem is that it takes YEARS of trial and error to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Do you have years to wait while you figure this out? Or would you rather skip to the end and start creating better blog posts right now?
I've done all that trial and error for you. I can help you avoid common mistakes and show you how to take an idea, research what people actually want to know, outline a post that is focused on providing an outcome for the reader and then write it so well that they can’t stop reading!
If you’re ready to be the owner of a blog that attracts readers and keeps them around, then you’re ready to join Hit Publish today!
