Staff Blogging Course

Start making REAL money blogging

I’ve created the Staff Blogging Course to help you get from zero paid blogging experience to the point where you can easily find jobs and make good money.

If you’re aiming to be a freelance writer, staff blogging is a great first step. And if you’re a full-time employee (or a full-time parent) looking for some solid side income that fits around your day, blogging is ideal.

Structure of the Staff Blogging Course

The Staff Blogging Course is divided into six straightforward units, which take you step-by-step to staff blogging success. Each Unit has accompanying handouts and exercises so that you can put into practice what you’ve learned.

As well as drawing on my own extensive blogging experience, I give you exclusive quotes, tips and advice from other staff bloggers.

Selected highlights of the Staff Blogging Course

These are just some of the unit-by-unit highlights of the course:

Unit One: Basics of Staff Blogging

My big blogging failure … and what you can learn from it

Answers to your burning questions (like “is it for me?” and “how much could I earn?”)

Unit Two: Finding Your First Job

Four different ways of finding a blogging gig - fully explained

Comprehensive list of the most useful online jobs boards – so that you don’t waste your time trawling spammy sites

Unit Three: Applying For a Blogging Job

Seven must-dos (and four absolute don’ts) for your applications

Real emails that have worked for me in the past, with explanations of how they work, so that you can replicate my success

Unit Four: Getting Paid

Using Paypal to request and receive money (with special Paypal guide for staff bloggers, so you have just what you need to get started)

How to set your rates ... and what to do if you don’t get paid

Unit Five: Producing Your Posts

Complete guide to the essentials of writing great online copy (with annotated examples from top blogs)

Post templates to help you structure posts, from lists to “how-tos”

Unit Six: Staying Inspired and Motivated

How to keep enjoying blogging once you’ve got plenty of work

Staff blogging when you have a day job, and when you’re a freelancer

Five easy and foolproof ways of generating ideas for blog posts

Sound like it might be up your street? Staff blogging could give you a nice little boost to your monthly income, or launch you on a whole new career path.

So how much does all this cost?

The complete Staff Blogging Course is just $19.

If you follow my advice in the course (to not blog for under $20/post), you only need to sell one post in order to make back more than the cost of the course! After that, everything you make is pure profit.

(I’ve written over 300 paid blog posts since I started out staff blogging. That’s a lot of pure profit.)

(If you happen to be an internet markety type reading this, please don’t waste your time emailing me to tell me I could be charging more. There’s a recession on, and I want people who need this course to be able to afford it.)

Your ninety day money back guarantee

Of course, I know this is the kind of thing you can’t really try before you buy. And I know it takes time to work through a course, especially one packed with handouts and real-life exercises to set you on the road to staff blogging success. So instead of the ubiquitous 30-day money-back guarantee, I’m offering a ninety day guarantee. If you decide the course just isn’t for you – or if you don’t succeed in landing yourself a blog job after working through it – then just drop me an email and I’ll send your money back, no questions asked. That’s good for 90 days after you purchase the course, so that you have as much time as you need to put it into practice.

The very best of luck to you, and I hope I’ll be seeing your byline out there in the blogosphere very soon!

What to Expect

Feedback about the Staff Blogging Course has been great: here's why...

Charlie Gilkey says:

Ali's Staff Blogging Course 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.

Units 5 and 6 give the best comprehensive and instructive advice on how to write good blog posts that I've seen to date - those units alone were worth the cost of admission. If you're even remotely interested in writing posts for other people, do yourself a favor and buy this course.

Mason Hipp says:

As a person who hires a ton of staff bloggers, I can honestly say that Ali has outdone herself with this course. It is an excellent resource that explains in detail every step necessary to start earning money as a staff blogger.

(from Earn A Living or Boost Your Income Through Staff Blogging)

Hunter Nuttall says:

With detailed information on topics such as finding jobs, keeping records and receiving payments, writing and formatting posts, and staying inspired and motivated, this is an indispensable resource for aspiring freelance bloggers.

Samar Owais says:

The Staff Blogging Course is priced at $19. That’s a great price for the information Ali has packed into her course. She’s even listed job boards where you can find staff blogging jobs and has included work sheets to get you started on the path of staff blogging.

(from Are You Staff Blogging Yet?)

Sid Savara says:

This is not your typical “get rich quick” ebook. There are no pie in the sky promises or sales pitches inside the ebook. This is a dense, information packed guide which at only $19 is (in my opinion) well underpriced.

(from Review of Staff Blogging Course)

Wendy Sullivan says:

I strongly suggest that anyone who wants to break into freelance writing or blogging for a living tries Ali Hale’s Staff Blogging Course. Do a read-through of the 8 modules, then go back and put the lessons into practice. I did, and have since scored TWO THREE blogging jobs in the last two weeks. Cost of the course: $19. Income of jobs I’ve scored: $125/wk. $180/wk.

(from Blogging Is A Business)

[NB: Wendy clearly got carried away with enthusiasm here – there are only six modules (though I admit the fourth is pretty long)!]

Maryan Pelland says:

The writing is clear, well thought out, intuitive. As soon as your mind forms a question, Ali has answered it. … The course pays attention to detail and shows pride in the workwomanship. It can stand against any other out there, and I have seen most of them.

About Ali

The blogs I currently staff-write for all fall very roughly into the personal development / self-improvement field. They include:

• Dumb Little Man
• Pick the Brain
• The Change Blog
• Diet Blog
• You on a Diet

I’ve been a guest blogger on a number of other sites, including several blogging and writing related ones: ProBlogger, Blogopolis Blueprint, Freelance Folder, and Freelance Switch. I’ve also been interviewed by Daily Blog Tips.

I have my own blog too, Aliventures, which focuses on “getting more from life”. My Staff Blogging Course fits well with that philosophy: my life is so much richer and fuller now that I’m a freelancer, and I’m always delighted when I hear about others taking the same step.

As well as blogging, I do some other freelance writing and editing – I’ve worked with magazines, ebook authors and corporate clients. I’m also taking an MA in creative writing at Goldsmiths College. I have a BA in English from Cambridge University.
