Financial Freedom Through Blogging

Once upon a time, I lived a life that I didn’t want to leave. I had no direction, nothing to hustle for, and wasn’t financially independent.

Financial Freedom Through Blogging

Imagine if you could work remotely and earn a steady income doing what you love.

What if you can make enough money from your side hustle to be able to quit your 9-5 job and live your life on your terms?

What if this income stream was mostly passive and as simple as starting your own blog?

What if your blog earns you $5K/month, even in recession?

Hey, I’m Lidiya _x0001F44B_

Here’s how blogging transformed my life:

Once upon a time, I lived a life that I didn’t want to leave. I had no direction, nothing to hustle for, and wasn’t financially independent.

But, what I did have was the desire to learn, grow, and use my skills and my time in a better manner. I also wanted to be able to live my life on my terms, not being restricted by what was expected of me, my country, the 9-to-5 world, other people’s expectations, financial limitations, and so forth.

It wasn’t until I realized how much I enjoy writing and that I was so passionate about personal development, that I combined these two and found ways to make something out of it.

I decided to freelance write. That was my first income online, and I made my first $1K. This gave me the confidence to believe that the Internet could help me make a change in my life.

However, I was exchanging my time for money so had to be able to use the laptop to do the actual work. It was difficult to meet client expectations. Finding new clients was also a challenge. I was still stressed even though I was earning money online.

So clearly that wasn’t the solution.

Luckily, during that time I had also started a blog called Let’s Reach Success. I started the blog to publish content, and I used it as a portfolio to show potential clients how I could create articles for them.

Shortly after I started blogging, I was hooked. I continued to learn about it. I discovered that this side hustle had more potential than freelance work and that many bloggers had quit their jobs in order to blog full-time.

Fast forward to the present, my blog is earning $50K, getting over 1,000,000 pageviews a year and is the foundation for my brand. I can help people start a company and transform their lives.

It’s also what has given me the chance to travel, leave my home country (Bulgaria) and relocate to my ideal destination (Amsterdam, Netherlands), wake up whenever I want to every day and work from home.

The first few years were spent researching, making mistakes, and learning how to set up WordPress sites.

I wasted a lot of time. But all this has allowed me to help others cut down the learning curve and made more money blogging.

A blog can help you to make a living, earn money, and have a future.

Most People Don’t Start a Blog or Make Money Online. Here’s Why

There’s just too much info out there. _x0001F4DA_

I can’t tell you how often I get an email from a reader saying something like this:

“Hey Lidiya,
I’m Ayo. For almost a year, I’ve thought about starting a website. It’s been causing me stress for almost a month.

“I am confused about the blogging path I have chosen. I’ve been blogging since 7 months. But I’m not getting success.

What can I do now?

I’m really frustrated.”

“I want to make a source of passive income and I am interested in technology. But don’t know where to start.”

It doesn’t need to be like that.

There are certain things that work every single time. There are some things that work every time. Every expert you meet is trying to help your achieve a different goal.

It is possible to buy too many books and follow so many bloggers that it becomes overwhelming.

It’s hard to know who to trust. _x0001F937_

That’s why when I was learning from others over the years, I followed their journey from day one and knew exactly how they earned their money and grew their online business.

I also try to be transparent. My entire story can be found on my About page. Sometimes, I write articles about my experiences, which led me to move to another country, double my income, and become a freelancer, then a full time blogger.

I also publish income reports. This means that I calculate my blog earnings, expenses, and share them with anyone who is interested in learning how I make money blogging. You can also find tons of free content on my website for those who want to start a business or change your habits to become more productive. There are many courses and articles that I offer for free.

This creates enough trust. Now, I’ve gathered MY BEST knowledge and experience and bundled it into this epic course you’re about to check out.

Blogging is a technical hobby that can turn most people off. _x0001F6E0_️

Do you often hear about WordPress, hosting, domain, SSL, and SEO and decide blogging is not for you simply because you aren’t familiar with these?

Or maybe you’ve started a blog in the past but then had to understand Google Analytics, email automation, permalinks, domain authority, GDPR, and ad networks?

Many of my readers email me to ask simple questions about blogging. Some simply need to know where to start.

Sadly, most assume making money blogging is out of the question as they can’t build a website, design it, or promote it.

I’ve got you covered. This is something that you don’t need any experience with. You will learn everything you need and how to create a blog.

You won’t need any code, design knowledge or understanding of how the digital world works for that matter.

WordPress is a free, open-source content management software that powers most blogs on the Web. I will show how to use it quickly.

I had zero experience when I started but was able grow Let’s Reach Success up to more than 100K page views per month.

Here is a screenshot showing my July 2019 traffic from Google Analytics:

They don’t know how to sell online. _x0001F4F1_

A second reason most people don’t want to be bloggers is because they don’t know how sell…

I didn’t either. When I was just starting out with blogging, I didn’t want to send emails to my audience (I thought it was annoying.). I didn’t want to promote the products I created and ask for people’s money. I didn’t want to charge a lot for sponsored posts even though brands were contacting me to ask for my rates and were interested in Let’s Reach Success.

After a while, I came to realize this:

It’s okay to ask people for money but only after you’ve offered them enough value for free.
If your product is truly beneficial to them, people will be willing to pay you.
With a great blog and the right monetization method, you don’t need to sell actively.

Instead, you can have a system that brings you money passively each day, week or month (thanks to having ads on your site, a sales funnel to sell your products, or by creating epic content and recommending other people’s products in it, which is the foundation of affiliate marketing).

You don’t need to appear salesy even when you write a review of a product or service. Once you learn more about affiliate marketing within this course, you will see how to choose products you believe in, include the links naturally, tell people why it’s worth buying this and how it has helped you, and write content that sells but without pushing the reader to do anything they don’t want to.

This passive income can provide you with hundreds to thousands of dollars every month for as little as a year.

Here is a screenshot from PayPal of my earnings between January and September 2019.

So, selling as a blogger isn’t hard or wrong or unprofessional. Once you’ve built your site, gained traffic and got to know your audience a bit, you can monetize their attention simply by giving them what you want and helping them solve their issues (while still offering a lot of value).

Are you ready to be a blogger now that you are aware of most of the obstacles you face in building a blog business?

Introduce Financial Freedom Through Blogging

You might start a blog today and make it big with your side hustle. Then, you’ll be able to earn $5K in a year so that you can quit your job and reclaim your time and begin blogging full-time from home or while on the road.

That’s why I created the roadmap for you – to save you the need for tens of hours of research, the mistakes, the confusion, the unanswered questions, the moments of wanting to give up.

Financial Freedom Through Blogging This guide is designed for novice, intermediate and advanced bloggers. It covers everything from creating a blog strategy, building discipline, and launching a website using the best tools available, to mastering marketing, traffic generation, and sales.

There are 10 modules, each with more than 100 lectures, videos, tutorials and step-by-step guides.

“The course is THOROUGH. Lidiya does not hold back!!

Right now, I am very happy with the progress of my blog: TheSuccessfulBrand.com. It’s looking great. Although I have to finish the freebie, blog posts and the about me page, I’m so happy because I know I am building a strong foundation with the course. PS.

It has been recommended to me by three clients. It’d be foolish for them not to get it.

– April Gregory, Brand & Marketing Strategist Business Coach

This course will teach you 4 key things

1. How to Start a Blog The Right Way, Fast and on a Budget _x0001F468_‍_x0001F4BB_

It’s okay if you aren’t tech-savvy, don’t have experience, aren’t sure how blogging works, don’t know what platform to use to create a website or how to run it once it’s live.

Don’t worry. You don’t have to worry. I will guide you step-by-step through the process.

Together with that, I’ll show you how to design it professionally with a few clicks, what pages to add first, what steps to take to have a great platform ready to welcome your first visitors and earn you money down the road.

In fact, I’ll even build a whole new blog myself so you can see how the process works and simply follow my steps.

2. How to drive massive traffic to your blog and build an audience. _x0001F4C8

The next modules in the course focus on building your brand, growing you email list and driving tons of traffic to your website.

You’ll learn how to start a newsletter (because the money is in the email list) with a free email marketing provider as well as with a more professional tool that will help you take things to the next level. Learn how to create opt-in forms that are noticed, get subscribers and provide the content people want to subscribe to your newsletter.

In addition, you’ll learn how to turn readers into subscribers and nurture your email list, create welcome email series and sell your products to your subscribers.

Module 5 and 6, where SEO magic happens, are where you’ll find all the information you need to optimize your entire website as well as every page on your blog for search engines so it can rank high and be loved by search engines.

You will learn how I create content that ranks high on Google for specific keywords, how to choose topics for my blog and how to outline the articles that make up the core content of my blog.

I will share everything you need about SEO with bloggers to get 100K pageviews each month and increase your blog’s earning potential.

Google alone won’t bring you the traffic you need. Pinterest is another great place for bloggers. It took me a year to master, and I have now shared the steps with you.

Pinterest accounts account for 90% of the traffic to many successful bloggers. It’s easy to reach 50K page views per month on your blog by simply pinning strategically and having great pins.

SEO should be the main source of traffic. You should not rely solely on social media channels to bring in traffic. Combine long-term results (organic Google search traffic) and quick spikes in Pinterest traffic every week to ensure your blog is getting 100K pageviews a month. You will also be earning enough money to be a full-time writer.

Module 10 is all about Pinterest and I just added it to the course. First, I wanted to ensure I learned as much as I could about Pinterest for bloggers from various sources. My best tips are combined and I share my exact results. You will learn how to master Pinterest and create viral Pins that attract tens of millions of people to your site.

This is what I saw when I created one of my first viral Pins (this image only shows traffic from social media).

Even if you only have one article on your blog, Pinterest can bring you around 1,000 visitors per day. You need the right content, topic, pin design, boards to add it, an optimized Pinterest profile and many other things to do that.

When I discovered Pinterest was smarter and my Pins went viral I investigated the reason and created a replica of it. My Pinterest traffic has been steady month after month. Even when organic traffic drops (which can happen naturally in some months), it still brings enough people to my site.

3. How to make your first money Blogging _x0001F4B0_

Many of those who reach out to me to start a blog are confused about how to monetize it. Some don’t start a blog because they don’t believe it can earn them money, while others have been blogging for a while but can’t monetize strategically so they are leaving money on the table.

The next modules are in Financial Freedom Through BloggingMy goal is to help you make the most of your blog and create a recurring income.

Once your site is set up and you’ve included the main elements, you can think about the most practical way for you to earn your first dollars blogging.

In Module 7, you’ll learn all you need about the 2 income streams you should start with – advertising and affiliate marketing.

Advertising is based on traffic so once you have content on your site and promote it on Pinterest following the strategies I’ve shared, you can gain traffic to your blog in the first weeks and months. Partner with an experienced ad network to make a few hundred dollars per month.

Your ad revenues will grow the more you have pages viewed. That’s also going to be your first passive income stream.

Here’s a screenshot from Mediavine July 2019:

Next is affiliate marketing. You’ll see lessons on how to choose your top affiliate products and start promoting them on your blog in multiple ways, how to write affiliate content and avoid some major mistakes bloggers make.

Affiliate marketing isn’t easy to get started with. Once you get the hang of it, though, you’ll be amazed at the results.

For example, here are my sales of the courses of other popular bloggers in my niche (I’ve taken these courses myself, enjoyed them, become an affiliate and now recommend them to my audience).

You can see there’s more than 1 sale through my affiliate links almost every month, commissions are high, and sometimes my earnings are over $250 (as shown in the last column).

And that’s only for the products of 2 people online. You can learn so much from other people online and become an affiliate to share their resources with blog readers.

That too is passive income as the sales happen once someone clicks on your affiliate links, which can continue for years after you’ve published a good post containing these links.

4. How to turn your blog into a 5-figure business _x0001F91D

Many bloggers who start blogs are discouraged and abandon it after a few months. They lack consistency and discipline because they never had a strategy in mind and weren’t really sure about the ‘why’ All of this lies behind.

These are the things I will help define before you start your blog. Once you do make some money each month, it’s time to get to the next level.

It means that you need to know how to write content to drive visitors and sales.

I cover all this because it’s what I’ve personally been through. All the information will be provided in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.

Module 8 is all regarding sponsored posts. That is where most of my monthly income comes.

With Module 9, you’ll be able to create your eBook and online course (just like this one) and start earning the big bucks. This is where your income can double when you add these income streams to your blog strategy.

Every month, I get earnings from the sale of my products, which I sell through Teachable.

You won’t just become a full-time blogger after completing this course. Follow these steps and you’ll be able to claim your business as a owner.

This is what you can imagine…

✨ You are now ready to build it on your own.

Blogging is a side project that will allow you to feel more in control of your life. You’re doing something to build the necessary skills to provide value and earn profits in the digital world.

That’s a big thing and it will pay off in many ways.

You will feel good about yourself knowing you’re dedicated. You’ll have more energy than ever while setting your blog goals and creating a strategy as you’ll begin visualizing your blogging success.

As each step is taken, your confidence will grow as you get closer to financial freedom.

You will do work that matters, on a subject that you’re passionate about, and no one else will be telling you what to do. You can find your voice, and use your unique skillset to make your blog stand out and become a brand.

✨ You can make your first money online and it is proof you should never stop trying.

You will not be discouraged if you keep at it until the end.

Although it sounds impossible that money can be made online, you’ll soon realize that you have many more options to increase your revenues.

I’ll never forget the first few dollars I made and then the first $100. This taught me that $1000 is achievable with time and dedication.

You should have the opportunity to see it for yourself. I can’t earn your money on your behalf. It is important to first create a blog and learn about how it works. Next, discover the different ways you can monetize your blog.

You will feel the same satisfaction with your first payment as you do from your salary.

That’s when you’ll believe you can be like those bloggers who earn a few thousand per month and maybe even like those who got to $50K/month. They too started with just a few dollars and weren’t sure if all this blogging thing was gonna work for them 🙂

✨ You can turn your blog side hustle into a 5-figure company.

A blog that publishes quality content is a great way to build your brand, make money, and even earn some extra income with sponsored posts, ads, and affiliate marketing.

✨ You shouldn’t stop until you see more of the site’s earning potential.

Each blog and audience is different. But almost any platform these days that’s created with a strategy in mind and is run by a passionate and determined individual can get to making $5,000/month.

It should be enough for you to start taking it seriously and working full-time. Even if you have a good salary and make much more than $50K per year, it’s still worth quitting your 9 to 5 to work for yourself.

Self-employment made me happier than ever and is one of the best lifestyle changes I’ve made.

You are your boss, and there is nothing better than that. You can work on the things that you believe in, and you can manage your time as you wish.

Working for someone else is not a way to make it rich. You can, however, if you work hard on your blog. There are no limitations to the amount you can make online.

***

Yes, blogging can transform your life in many ways.

Start by creating your platform and publishing content. Then optimize it until you find the best monetization method for you and your audience.

You should make the most of your freedom and money. You can manage your time well and blog like an expert. Then you can invest your time in your family, traveling the world, and other activities that you enjoy.
