About this study guide

Plenty of blogs begin with enthusiasm and fade after a handful of posts. This study guide aims to help you avoid that by giving you a clear picture of how a blog grows. It starts with choosing a niche you can write about for months, defining the reader you are writing for and gathering ideas into a simple plan of upcoming posts.

The writing chapters look at crafting headlines, opening strongly, breaking text into scannable sections and finishing with a thought that invites the reader back. Further parts discuss finding a personal voice, editing your own drafts and basic principles of making posts easy to find. The material is set out in four levels, Beginner through Expert.

Everything is read and applied on your own, so you can work through a section, write a post and return when you are ready for the next idea.
Each level is unlocked separately
