This is an invaluable course that I'll likely look over every once and a while to refresh my memory on certain points that were made. I liked that it was in segments because it meant it was very detailed and taught me things that I haven't seen elsewhere (yet). As someone who's blogged for almost 2 years, I get tired of the same things, because I do work for an SEO company; I already know what a lot of people need to know about promoting on social media, so it was nice to see fresh, updated tips that I was very excited to try.

I liked that parts of the content were already blog posts so I could pin them or share them. The booklet also helped me even though I already have a blog and established audience. It was a good way to refresh my thinking and work through things on paper (I printed mine out).

After the challenge I felt very excited to try and revamp the way I blog. I learned more about what is actually necessary to blog so I can lower my stress and have more fun with it.

I'm indebted to Bridgid for her help, encouraging tone, and expertise on each topic. No matter how confident you are in your blogging skills, this challenge can increase that confidence.

I don’t normally do this but I wanted to drop you a note and say thank you so much for the Build a Better Blog Challenge! I just started my new writing blog (www.thelexiconwritingblog.com) after a few years off from writing and blogging and your challenge was a huge inspiration to me!

There are a lot of courses out there and lately I’ve felt a bit overwhelmed by the super specific ones and trying to implement everything I’ve learned.

The Build a Better Blog Challenge really helped me pin-point what I can manageable start doing to create content ahead of time so I’m not stressed out, helped me find the best ways to drive traffic that will work with the platforms I like, and ways to engage that don’t freak me out. I loved the workbook, the workshop, and I’m eager to implement the action steps you gave.

I loved the focus on value and purpose throughout the workbook. Bridgid took the essence of blogging and put it in such logical terms, I was nearly shocked that I hadn't seen that clearly before! With her focused and simple approach, I got clear about my blog, my blog writing, and what I was offering readers, when before I had felt like I was always spinning around in circles and undoing my own work every time I sat down at the computer! The workbook was such a simple and concentrated step, but actually doing the work took my blog so much higher.
