I love ❤️Mimi G Course a lot . She gave so many resources to enable me be successful at blogging. Now I have to apply all these resources . I am so picky that I am still at beginning of choosing a website to use. I love blogger.com a lot, but I want a blog and a store like Mimi G so maybe SquarespaceWordpress.com was difficult for me.I learnt a lot about social media success too so now I am going to revamp my social media engagement. I am excited . Thanks Ann Owens . Fabulous Annie.

Mimi G provided me with a great deal of information to get my blog to a state where it is more relatable and a true reflection of what I message want to convey to my readers. Section 8 on how to promote your blog on all of the social media channels was very educational. Navigating social media on a personal level is overwhelming, but MiMi G was straightforward and insightful on the topic. I'll definitely be using a lot of what I learned on my blog. Thank you Mimi G

I am a huge supporter and fan of Mimi G. This course met my expectations. It was straightforward and insightful. She elaborated on some of the things I knew, and I also learned some things I didn't know. She also confirmed some things I felt that I should be doing. I look forward to more E-Courses with Mimi G in the future. Thank you for taking out time to make this video.

I had no idea that I would receive this much information. But, I should have known not to expect nothing less than the best from MimiG. This was so super duper helpful to me. I have just started making purses and I am considering starting a blog to help with putting myself out there but I don't have a clue about blogging. I am a MimiG fan, (learned a lot from her) so when I was viewing her blog I saw that she offered lessons in blogging. It was like God speaking to me :). All the information is clear and easy to follow. Also, I like that she gives us exercises. Exercises will really help me set a plan. This is exactly what I need. Great course. I will continue to refer back to this course as I move along with my new business.

I just love Mimi. I stumbled across her blog about 3 years ago. Her conference was approaching and I just had to meet her. I flew to La and she was just as sweet in person as she was on her blog. She's been a huge inspiration and my virtual mentor. So when she announced she would be teaching a course online I knew it was time to start my blog. The course was on point. Simple, easy to understand with great exercises I can use over and over again. I would have liked for Mimi to teach more on platforms to host a blog and how much GB and other back end details other than that I always give my girl an A!!!

This course has been very clear and thorough for me to follow. I'm not struggling to understand and I can take notes a & print off the helpful homework sheets along the way. I love how it's broken down into sections so I'm not receiving a bunch of information in one long course. I can take my time to listen and rewind if need be. I'm enjoying learning how to take my blog and ideas to the next level. Everything I want to do actually seems possible!

EXCELLENT. This blogger 101 has been just what I have been looking for. It was direct, clear and VERY informative. I love the exercises, printouts they I can utilize over and over again to perfect my blog. I have purchased other blogger 101's and they were a waste. THIS ONE WAS ON POINT, a million thanks to MiMiG Style and her desire to share her experience's and knowledge.

Several things about this course that lead me to give a 5-star rating. Most importantly-I can take at my own pace. I am a full-time single mom of 3 and a 9 to 5 employee, along with being a visual learner and a very active Christian. Having the ability to listen, review, print out worksheets and refer back to the 'very" detailed content included in the course is an absolute necessity-especially when personal and professional interruptions are many. I really appreciate that Mimi, has the heart to share in her knowledge to see those of us hoping to have our own freedom in this unlimited world of creativity!!

This course was not what I expected, it gave tips about blogging but failed to provide details on how to get started blogging. She briefly discussed securing a domain name and that's about all I got out of this course. I don't know what to do or what site to go to next to get started. The info page stated that refunds are offered however it does not provide info on how to request a refund.
By Treena Walker on 11/29/2015
I have been thinking about blogging for some time now but just couldn't figure out how to really get started, Mimi has given some good info to go off of, I am still doing my homework that she gave and I'll probably watch the classes again just because I like to make sure I got everything. The content is informative and comprehensive. The production quality meets my expectation, very clear, no problems at all. And yes, Mimi is interesting and engaging, she truly makes you feel that you got this!
