Do you have a story to share? Are you interested in creating a business that gives you the time and space to create a life?

If you want to start a blog, or if you recently started blogging and feel a little lost, know that you are not alone. You could spend the next 5 years researching the best way to start and grow a blog and barely scratch the surface of the available information.

The problem with all of that research? You are so focused on getting ready and you are never getting started.

It’s time to get started.

No more waiting for the perfect time, the best idea, for inspiration to strike, or for fear to disappear. This is a meaningful adventure for you and the people you will serve when you start your blog.

Before I started blogging, I wanted my blog to help me quit my job, work less, travel more, work with great people, be an artist and create, be healthier and happier, and to encourage and connect with people who wanted to simplify their lives.  All of these desires helped me to start my blog with purpose and that purpose gave me great clarity, direction and the conviction to keep going even when I had no idea what I was doing.

Think about and identify what you’d like your blog to do for you and others. That purpose will make all the difference.

If you are worried about any of the following, you are not alone.

• time management
• writing interesting posts
• too much competition
• putting in a lot of time for nothing
• finding people to read my posts
• the whole business aspect of a blog
• I’m not an “expert” on anything
• don’t know how to get it out there
• setting myself apart
• perfectionism
• fear of pushing publish
• integrating social media with blogging but not letting it consume your life
• the technical stuff is overwhelming

I’ve been there, and helped hundreds of clients overcome these concerns. I created this microcourse to help you too.

One easy to open PDF with more than 12,500 words,an inspiring playlist, audio lessons and a recorded webinar.

There is so much to learn about blogging, but you don’t need to know everything to get started.

This course will help you:

• inspire ideas
• narrow them down
• create a blog name and tagline
• launch your blog (on your own or with help)
• reach your first 100 subscribers
• make your first $100

You might not want to do all of these things, but they are available to you. The course lessons are simple, direct, and include what I consider to be the most important information for getting started.

While you can take as long as you want, you can purchase this course today and launch your new blog tomorrow, or next week using the information provided.

 You might be thinking that this course is underpriced at $10 and it is. Here’s why:

•  A microcourse is always less than $20.00. I made that promise to you and I’m keeping it.

• I believe that doing work you love should be accessible to anyone that is interested. I hope this affordable pricing helps more people start a blog in an easy to understand, enjoyable, powerful way.

What people are saying about the Zero to 100 microcourse:
