The Blogger’s Guide to Freelancing

Important: Closing Down Sale

The Blogger’s Guides are all half-price as they’ll be going off the market permanently after Friday 20th December 2020. If you want to snap up one (or all!) of them, now’s your chance.Â

I started freelance blogging in February 2008. It changed my life.

I built a successful career by writing for other people’s blogs, and I’ve written this ebook to teach you how to do the same.

Start Making REAL Money Blogging

Maybe you’ve bought into the myth that you can make a million dollars in no time at all … by starting your own blog.

How’s that working out for you?

My first blog took eleven months to make its first $100. That worked out to about $1 per post. Not exactly what I’d been hoping for.

But … there is another way. A way to make serious money, even if you’ve not even started your own blog yet.

And I’m going to teach you how.

The Blogger’s Guide to Freelancing has just been updated for 2017. It’s aÂ 115-page ebook, full of straightforward steps to help you:

Find your first blogging job (and make sure it’s one you’ll love)
Create great blog posts – without spending hours on them
Market yourself through your own blog/site and through social media – so jobs come to you
Organise your time and energy so you can have a great blogging career

Sid Savara says…

Ali breaks down step by step what makes for great online writing, explains exactly where and how to get great images for posts, and provides handy templates for posts â€“ so that you can write using your words, but have a loose structure that Ali has tested and knows works.

Even though I think my writing is pretty good and I know a fair bit about online copy, even I have a copy of these chapters printed out and sitting on my desk.

Charlie Gilkey says:

Ali’s Blogger’s Guide to Freelancing is utterly remarkable. She shows you where to find the jobs, how to get them, and how to stay sane once you have them, all in a way that’s approachable for new bloggers yet still useful for veterans.

If you’re even remotely interested in writing posts for other people, do yourself a favor and buy this course.
