Course Description

Are you ready to build a blog that can generate sales 24/7 on autopilot?  Is your dream to have complete freedom to work when you want and from where you want?

Follow along with me as we build a professional-looking blog from scratch,  attract masses of traffic using nothing but free methods, and turn it into a fun and profitable online venture. The training starts out assuming that you have no prior knowledge but becomes more advanced as you progress through the course.

Learn from an instructor with 20 years of experience in building blogs & websites and extensive online marketing experience. By the end of this course, you will have a fully-fledged online business even if you don't yet know what to blog about! You will also know more than 99% of bloggers or 'would be' bloggers on the Internet.

Let's take a look at the top 6 reasons why everyone who strives to earn a living online should have a blog:

  1. Blogging is an ideal way to get free traffic from Google and other search engines.

  2. Blogging can be used to market almost anything from affiliate products, e-commerce, Amazon listings, and more.

  3. User-friendly technology available today makes blogging simple, even for non-techies!

  4. We can use blogging to turn our interests into profit. Almost any subject is suitable for monetization.

  5. It's virtually free! You can build and run a successful blog for less than $5 per month.

  6. A blog is an asset that can potentially be sold in the future.

Imagine that your work is also something you enjoy doing. Most people only ever dream about earning a living from doing something they love. But, some are using blogging to realize that dream, so why not you?  

Aside from the potential of earning an ongoing income, a blog is an asset.  Blogs can sell for four, five, or even six figures.

No knowledge or experience is required. You'll be following me, click-by-click, step-by-step, as you create a blog the right way. You'll monetize it, promote it using free methods, and finally, build a list of email subscribers -  so that you can double (or more) your income for the same amount of effort.

You'll need to budget for around 5 dollars per month.

Throughout the course, I demonstrate every step in detail with 'over the shoulder' lectures. You'll learn how to create posts, and which types of posts work best. You'll learn where and how to get content and ideas for your posts. And how to optimize for the search engines - the simple way - and much, much more.

Instructor Details

Theo McArthur

My name's Theo McArthur, and I've been working online since 1995. I left my job and went full-time online in 2001. Teaching here on Udemy is probably the most satisfying thing I do. Being able to help others to learn life-changing techniques and business models.

Over the last 15 years or so, I've created and marketed many digital e-learning products and have also worked extensively in blogging and affiliate marketing.

I have always preferred to have multiple business interests, so I started selling on Amazon in the spring of 2013.  Previous to that, I had never sold any physical products online. Today I also run my own independent e-commerce websites.

I'm still an affiliate marketer. However, I always wanted to sell my own products too, and Amazon was the obvious place to get started.

Starting on Amazon without the guidance of an experienced seller can be tough, and the courses I took myself were not complete and were missing certain vital parts of the 'puzzle.' I learned more through trial and error than anything else, and that's what prompted me to create a step-by-step blueprint to success on Amazon.

A year after starting on Amazon, I set up my independent e-commerce store to build an asset that was my own and could potentially be sold in the future.

This course is head and shoulders above all the other courses on building your own websites on Udemy. It provides an excellent, practical, and comprehensive step-by-step approach and has guided me in building my website and learning how to properly use useful WordPress tools and plugins. I thoroughly recommend working through this course for anyone planning to build a website.

By Tiffany Ekwugha on 5/23/2024

This course offers tons of straight forward advice for how to start and monetize a blog. It literally covers everything necessary, step by step, and without all of the fluff and noise you may find by trying to learn from Youtube. I highly recommend this course for anyone whose been curious about how websites work! I'd also like to note that the instructor is constantly updating the course with relevant information, as times are always changing in this digital space. I appreciate her commitment to providing quality content.

Actual proof of what is generating a "full time income" like income reports that some bloggers show on YouTube would make the income side of things more clear. More examples on how to build an income that will have longevity would be helpful. I'm not sure if the author builds "blog templates" then sells them but I am trying to build a blog/company I can build a long term business with. This course is more of "how to start a blog". I learned a lot about the structure of starting a blog on wordpress which was helpful. Too many "this might make you money if you sell an e book/website etc or it might not" type of examples which we see a lot on YouTube/social media already. Great title which got me to buy but left me searching for more.

I'm struggling financially and at my current part-time job, I may lose it without family support. Due to my personal situation, it's hard for me to earn the normal income when I used to be earning as an IT professional. The only way for me to earn is online income. I'm blogging only through Google using minnie.cherry.tan@gmail.com, but I don't know how to earn through my blogging as I'm using mtan.learn.2020@gmail.com now thru www.kernelwheat.com in bluehost. I'm hoping this course can give me some additional income.

By Hayley McConville on 4/19/2021

I have learnt so much from this course, through easy to follow and interesting lessons. I have had a small amount of previous experience in building a website and blog but it would have been far easier if I had found this course way back then. I feel very confident that I now have a great website and blog ready to go.

By Aditi Shimpi on 11/8/2020

Yes it looks like a good match so far. I am very new to this topic so so far so good :)
