Thanks for joining Blog On!
This page is your handy one-stop reference, so you know where to find everything and you’ve got a clear idea of what’s coming up. Over the next eight weeks, we’re going to be covering four key types of post:
- How-to posts – which teach readers to accomplish a specific task
- List posts – which offer a number of different ideas, tips or techniques
- Link posts – which provide a round-up of interesting articles/books in your niche
- Review posts – which let readers know what’s worth buying (and earn you some commission too)
The focus of the course is on getting you to plan, write and publish posts on your own blog. Each of the four modules is split into short lessons which take you step-by-step through writing a specific post.

Introductions
I’ve set up a page where you can introduce yourself and tell me (and everyone else!) what you’re hoping to get from Blog On:
Timetable
To keep things relaxed, we’re tackling one post every two weeks. On the alternative weeks, we’ll have a group update where I answer questions and critique two posts for the group to learn from, and where we can share success stories.
If you have the Gold membership, you’ll also receive three extra modules to help you create or spruce up a page on your blog.

Comments Sections
At the bottom of each lesson, there’s a comment section where you can leave questions, ideas or thoughts. I’ll be reading all the comments. Feel free to reply to other members, especially if you have an idea or answer which could help someone out.
Contacting Me
If you have a question about a lesson, it’s useful if you post it in the comments – that way, other people can see the answer too. You can also contact me privately using the Blog On contact form, so that your message gets top priority in my inbox.
