When I started my blog over three years ago, I had no idea “blogging” could consist of more than just publishing posts.
Now, I know better. And if you’re here right now, then you probably do, too.

Here’s the audio version of this post if you’d prefer to listen rather than read. 🙂
As bloggers, we are content creators, marketers, customer service professionals, collaborators, administrative badasses, designers, and more. With so much that goes into growing an audience and successfully earning money as a blogger, it’s no surprise that tons of bloggers end up feeling overwhelmed.
I was the same way.
I had big dreams and goals for my tiny blog, and was willing to put in the work to get there, but it was frustrating that growth seemed to happen so slowly no matter how hard I worked. And that I didn’t know which advice would help me the most. As we know, the internet has a TON of information to choose from, so it’s hard to tell what is worth your time and what is only delaying your inevitable success.

So, to help you navigate the uncertain waters of blogging, I decided to create a free 3-part training series for you, which shows the step-by-step process you should take to grow your audience and monetize your blog (no fluff and no time-wasting strategies).
So far, this free training series has gotten some preeeeetty amazing feedback, so I think you’ll love it, too. Here are a few of the comments people have been leaving on the first video in the series:
“This. Is. GREAT! Thank you! I cannot wait for the next video! Love the info on keywords and the blog ‘takeaway’ ideas.”
“Thank you so much for today’s incredible content. It feels like I’ve been trying every strategy and am constantly battling overwhelm. The most beneficial tips for today- Google’s keyword planner. I’m excited to start using this tool as I craft my blog post for tomorrow!”
“Let it be known that you are freaking awesome. So simple, so friendly, so articulate – I loved it! Took notes the whole time – my biggest take away was the fact that we own our email subscribers – totally opened my eyes! Thanks Melyssa xox”
This video series will only be available for the next few weeks, so make sure to watch it soon. During the series, we cover topics like how to grow your traffic, effective ways to build an audience, my simple planning method (to get more done and feel less overwhelmed), and how to plan and outline a successful e-course as a blogger.
So, just click the button below to sign up and you’ll be able to watch the first video instantly. Enjoy! 🙂

Love! Thanks, Melyssa! <3
I’m so glad you liked it, Abby! Good luck 🙂
Thanks so much for this, Melyssa! I can’t wait to dive in and start taking notes. Would you happen to have any tips for someone like myself that creates content while still working full-time?
Good question! If you want to be effective with your time, you’ll want to create systems for your blog that save you time. Check out this post I wrote up about just that: https://melyssagriffin.com/business-systems/

Hi Melyssa I am sure you have written a blog post about using keyword planner ie adwords and you mentioned that it was free. However when I log on it now says you have to pay for the advert. Do you know if Google has changed this? Thanks for your help you provide such great and valuable content on your site
http://encountercs.com.au/
It should still be free. You just need to make sure you have a Google account and then go here: https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner
Good luck and let me know if you come across any other issues!
Thank you Melyssa I greatly appreciate

Hi Melysssa I followed this link and I do have an adwords account, I followed this article (https://melyssagriffin.com/writing-profitable-affiliate-posts/#more-7804) which you wrote on keyword search, however the screen seems to be different from what you had. There seems to be nowhere to view you see you selected (plan your budget) and then typed your keywords, then you had a graph showing an average of monthly searches and it indicated the competition. I do not seem to find where to get this information. Sorry for being a pain but I do appreciate your help.
Thank you
Hi Melyssa
So sorry to be a pain would you mind pointing me in the right direction with regards to the above.
Thanks so much for your help
Thanks for your videos. I appreciate your approach to the blog creation. I’m just curious to know is paid advertising has a number of different benefits as selling good links also? I just want to recommend you as a site owner: how to monetize a website http://www.magenet.com/ Here you’ll find good opportunity to sell your website links.
Hey there! I really enjoyed the first video and thanks for making it. When will the other videos be activated? I signed up about 2 weeks ago, but I haven’t been able to catch them?
Hey Titania! I’m so glad you enjoyed the first video! The rest of the videos are actually no longer available at the moment but I’ll let you know when they’re up again. Have a great day 🙂
I’m a brand new blogger, and words cannot begin to describe how helpful I’ve found your posts! Bookmarked your site for sure. Keep doing what you’re doing, Melyssa! <3
