When my husband Silas and I were just starting out in our path to becoming full-time bloggers, we would spend time reading other blogger’s posts on how to blog (seems natural right?). And so many times we felt like we had just run into click bait with no real substance. They would give the same cliche advice that all the other bloggers gave or their posts wouldn’t live up to the titles that attracted us to their site in the first place.
And once in awhile, we would run into a nugget of gold in their posts, but this was few and far in between.
We both had to struggle to come up with our own methods, take the value we could get from very few bloggers (who were open with their readers), and research what bigger bloggers were doing to get great traffic. It was a lot of work, but it ended up being well worth our time.
Now we understand that not all of you have the time to do extensive research on blogging and/or you’re struggling to find helpful information. And that’s why we decided to create a free blogging email course.
We wanted to lay it all out step-by-step for readers who were in need of a way to make it out of the 9-5 job. We wanted to make something for people who needed real help with blogging and wanted to make more income than what a day job could offer.
So with this in mind, we ended up making a 15-day course that shows you the steps we did to make a blogging income in less than a year.

About Us
If you’re new to this site, then we’d love for you to get to know us (And we’d love to get to know you too, so feel free to message me in the comments!).
Back in 2015, my husband and I were looking for ways to work from home. We both had a passion for full-time travel. And the corporate/retail world? Well it just wasn’t for us. We needed a job that would pay us good money for location independence and future savings.
However, we were broke, and no online job seemed to fit our abilities. And when you’re broke, anything bad that can happen.. will happen. The car kept on breaking down in the middle of winter, unexpected bills kept on popping up, and to be honest.. it just felt hopeless.
And that’s when we heard about blogging for profit.
But when we listened to Nick Loper from The Side Hustle Show interview Rosemarie Groner from The Busy Budgeter, that’s when our perspectives on blogging changed (you can listen to it here). She gave real actionable advice that no one else gave. And she attained her blogging success in a year… so we determined that we’d do it sooner.

So with us making the sacrifice to be a one income family, I stayed home while he worked long hours at his soul-sucking corporate job to make the blog take off. And 3 months after the blog had launched… I was making more than his corporate job.
It was June of 2016 and we were making $3,000 in just one month!
And since then, we’ve been getting emails and comments asking for help. Of course we’d reply and give people the tips and advice they needed, but we soon realized that a free course that had all the answers in one place was needed.
So here were are! A couple months in the making and it’s about to be released! We honestly couldn’t be more excited to give you a step-by-step guide that’s packed with actionable advice.
So make sure you sign up and if you have any questions about the course, let me know in the comments down below!

Hello Silas & Grace,
I just stumbled on your blog while gathering information for my blog I am about to start. You are so clear and helpful. Thank you so much. I have heard the blogging idea for a while now, but I am ready to start.
Thank you so much
This post is brilliant, thank you so much for providing this for free. I am in the overwhelmed ‘how on earth am I going to do this, is it even going to be possible for me to earn anything’ phase and this post made everything ok! Have signed up and really looking forward to your course. Thank you again.
I’m so glad you’re going to take it! I know it will help you. 🙂
I really love all your articles. It’s very helpful for me as I am strating my new blog site soon. More power to you! 🙂
That is so cool to hear Ann! Excited for you!
Thank you both so much for your candor. I am just starting out as a blogger while working full time. I am so new, in fact, I have not posted anything yet, but have my first 3 posts outlined, secured an editor, and my site is a work in progress. I have used your links – my way of giving back for your time and energy to help others. 🙂 The course has been very helpful. Some days I have more questions than answers, but taking action anyway. Thank you again!
Your blogging course is incredible so far! Love the content.
So excited for this course. You guys were the first ones that actually made me feel like I might have a chance at income with this blogging thing. Thank you for being so generous!!
I’m really looking forward to this today! I found you guys when you guest posted for Michelle @ Making Sense of Cents. I also listened to your episode with Pete from “Do You Even Blog?” and just loved the actionable advice. I’ve been running my latest blog, Run The Money, since Jan/Feb of 2017. Making some money and have about 3k views on average per month, but obviously nothing I can quit my job on. I’m also enrolled in Elite Blog Academy and Michelle’s Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing course. So, I’m putting myself out there and trying to find what works. Thanks for being a continued source of inspiration!
I am so excited to start this course!! I have been in the researching phase before I launch for about 5 weeks. I have read so many different posts on how to start a blog. But I have to say that your posts are my favorite! You keep me from giving up on the idea of having success. Again I can’t wait to begin this course.
Couldn’t have come on a better date! My birthday! Thank you for being so transparent with us. Seriously! The amount of information out there on how to make a living blogging is so overwhelming, it’s emotional. For me, I’ve wanted to blog close to 3 years and the way these bloggers have made it seem, it just looked hopeless for me. But you and Silas have started a non traditional blog and have made it work! Not all of us are masters at something. Not all of us can “teach”, but what we do have in common is a love for blogging culture and you have made it so much more possible. Thank you, both!
Hey, Karina! I’m so glad to hear this!
I really love giving my readers a lot of value since I know how hard it is to get started blogging. So happy to know that I can help you out!
Thank you for your kind words. 🙂
