I’ve been blogging for ten years, but when people ask, I tell them I was only doing it seriously for the last eight. The thing is, blogging does not have to be this upward struggle. Get the right mentors, and you can grow our blog in no time at all and have the successful blog you’ve always wanted!
However, working one-on-one with more advanced and intermediate bloggers can be expensive. For this reason, blogging courses online are the best and most affordable option when you want to learn something and quick, IMO. In addition, they typically provide step-by-step instructions on various topics from starting a blog, marketing strategy, content marketing, and so much more!
But there is a downside to going with blogging courses for beginners as well. The prominent question being, how do you know if the blogger who wrote the system knows what the heck they are talking about? Unfortunately, there are so many blog training courses out there now, and I am sorry to say that many of them are not worth your time.
I’ve made the mistake of buying the wrong course—programs filled with stuff I already know or that teach information that is just plain wrong. I learned the hard way that you never buy a course without proof that it will benefit you.
When I am in my mastermind groups, I make a point to ask what classes my peers are taking and what is working for them. And this keeps me away from the courses that just may not benefit me.
Today in this blog post, I am sharing my findings with you!
Not only are the courses I mention on this list are ones that I have personally taken myself, but they are also courses I only took after getting SEVERAL recommendations from other successful bloggers.
That way, I can promise you don’t have to worry about the quality of these opportunities. So, without further ado, check out my blog course list below.
1. Genius Blogger’s Toolkit 2021

If Pinterest is not a part of your traffic strategy, then it probably should be. And Pinterest Traffic Avalanche by Create and Go Founders Alex and Lauren is the perfect course to help you get there.

4. Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing by Michelle Schroeder-Gardner
Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing was the first affiliate course I took, and it helped me get in the right mindset for selling more on my blog. I think all bloggers have this initial aversion to selling, especially with affiliate programs.
But after I took this course, I got it. Affiliate links can help your reader if they’re relevant. Not to mention, affiliate marketing is a great way to make passive income.
If you are new to this, I think Michelle’s course is the one to take first. I learned a lot about the different ways to promote affiliate links on your blog. I also learned how o make a lot of money from the same posts over and over again.

5. List Love by Jennifer Maker
Jennifer Maker, a very successful blogger, wrote an e-book called List Love: Introduction to List Building, and she’s giving it away FOR FREE. (She loves to give away free things—it’s one of the secrets to her success!)
The List Love e-book is a fun introduction to building your email list. She answers a lot of questions and explains why you need a mailing list, recommendations for great email service providers, real-life examples of specific ways she’s built her list of over 24,000 subscribers, and an overview of her formula. In addition, Jennifer’s included some information I can almost guarantee you’ve never thought of or heard of, so you don’t want to miss this!
All of these blog courses deliver quality information. While some are free and others aren’t, I can personally vouch that you will get a fantastic return on investment if you decide to spend the money. So don’t miss out on getting into the money-making fast lane with your blog!
