Here’s the secret to building a profitable blog...
You can’t only be able to write quality content, understand SEO well enough to drive traffic to your blog posts, or know all of the clever ways you can make money from paid sponsorships, ads, and affiliate marketing.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO DO ALL OF IT.
ALL of the parts have to be set up right.
The truth is
So even if you’re doing 90% of everything right, that last 10% has the make-it or break-it power.
(Which is as unfair as it is true.)
And even if you have a huge following on Instagram… that won’t help your blogging profits because blogging is a completely different game than social media.
To turn your blog into a money-making machine, you’ll need to know exactly how to play by the blogging rules.
It only takes 1 or 2 mistakes to keep your blog from making passive income
Create content that brings in loads of traffic every single time you post (and doesn’t disappear after 24 hours)
Attract new followers, brand deals, and paid collaborations by getting found on Google thanks to your incredible and SEO-optimized blog posts
Have a steady stream of income that you can count on to bring in money month after month, year after year
Once you know how to build a successful blog, you’ll be able to...
(Honestly... who doesn’t want that?!)
Not do one bit of work when taking time off because you know your blog is bringing in cash while you’re out enjoying yourself
No matter whether you already have a blog or you’re looking to build a blog for the first time, you’re in the perfect place.
The techniques taught in this course are the same techniques other influencers are using to make thousands in passive income every month.
Now it’s your turn.
Gone Sun Where
I wish I had had access to this course years ago when my love of blogging first began because it’s the only course you will need to make money with your blog.
About ads, affiliate marketing, and what cornerstone content is. I would definitely recommend the course for both new bloggers and more experienced bloggers that want to monetize their blogs.
Also, Gillian has a lovely voice to listen to and is easy to understand.

Blogging is always the answer.
When you have a properly set up blog, you’ll:
Have an online space that’s 100% yours
On your blog, you’ll have total say over everything—from the people you work with to the adverts you put on it, to how much you charge. And unlike social media, you’ll never have to worry about being randomly banned or disabled.
Give your content an actual lifespan
With well-written blog posts and an SEO-optimized blog, your content will get found on Google for months, even years, to come, unlike social media platforms where content can disappear as quickly as 24 hours.
No longer have to rely only on social media
Once you understand how to bring loads of traffic to your blog through posting valuable and properly SEO-optimized content, people will be able to find you through Google, bringing you new followers and endless opportunities.
Have a consistent stream of income
After learning all of the clever ways to structure your blog and content so that your blog actually makes you money, you’ll have another stream of income—one that doesn’t require you to work all the time.
You shouldn’t have to pay for multiple courses to learn how to make a profitable blog…
And if there’s something you need to know that isn’t covered in the course…
While most blogging courses only focus on one aspect, like how to set up a blog or get good traffic, Influencer Blogging 101 focuses on all of the things you need to know (and how to get them right).
All you have to do is tell me and I’ll add a module. That’s how serious I am about this course having everything you need to know.
If you're serious about blogging and creating a successful and money-making blog, then this course is definitely worth considering. [When investing in a course] you need to know you're buying into someone who knows what they're talking about and Gillian is exactly that person. She's funny, has a nice voice, and it's abundantly clear that she seriously knows what she's talking about.
Hi, I’m Gillian Sarah— award-winning blog designer for influencers and experienced blog flipper.
Having designed 550+ websites and blogs for bloggers and influencers, run my own blog for over 7 years, and turned loads of others’ blogs into profit-generating machines, I’ve learned exactly what it takes to build a profitable blog.
(Spoiler: it involves patience and the proper strategies that are taught in this course.)
If you’re looking to create a blog of your own that brings in a steady stream of income (instead of one that makes you feel like you’re shouting into the Google void because no one ever sees it), you’ve found exactly what you’ve been looking for.
And because blogging takes time to see results, my best advice from years of experience blogging and working with bloggers is…
The sooner you get started, the better.

"Couldn’t I learn all of this for free?"
If you want to spend the next three years making all of the costly mistakes I’ve made.
Or, you can skip the years of experimenting and Googling a million different questions trying to figure out what works so that by the time year three rolls around, you’ll be making thousands of dollars every month in passive income instead of having just figured out how to build a profitable blog.
Of course!

FAQ's
Yes! While this course covers the fundamentals for those who are just beginning, it’s created to teach influencers in all blogging stages how to monetize their blog. Even if you’re an experienced blogger, there’s still so much more to learn—or, at least, that’s what my students, many of whom have had years of experience blogging, tell me.
Absolutely. Two of the bonus modules were created for complete blogging beginners so you can be guided through the entire process from buying your domain to creating content. And congratulations, because if you start with this course, you’ll be miles ahead of everyone else who’s starting out.
You can work your way through the course as fast or as slow as you like. All of the lessons are pausable and rewindable and your progress is tracked as you work your way through each module. With over 62 lessons, the course takes some time, but how much time is totally up to you.
As soon as you purchase the course, you’ll have lifetime access for as long as the course exists. You’ll be able to revisit the course whenever you please to rewatch old lessons as well as view any new content that has been added.
Yes, I offer a 14-day risk-free guarantee. If for some reason you find this course wasn’t everything you dreamed of, you’re eligible for a refund for up to 14 days after purchase. To qualify, you must reach out and share what didn’t work for you.
Not a problem whatsoever. A huge portion of the course is dedicated to monetizing your blog (four modules are on that topic alone, to be precise). However, according to past seasoned blogging students, it’s likely you’ll find the other modules to be quite helpful, too.
Absolutely! While the course was created for influencers specifically, quite a bit of the content is useful to anyone who wants to monetize their blog. If you’ve looked over the module-by-module breakdown and felt excited about the content, you’ll love everything there is to learn in this course.

I’ve been blogging for 13 years, but there’s always more to learn, no matter where you are. And, Gillian’s lovely voice and fun sense of humor make it fun. You can teach an old dog new tricks if it’s presented well like [it was in this course].
