I love to travel and I love to make money online. These are two areas that I am super passionate about. And over the last 12+ years, I have become incredibly proficient at both of them!
Now I am helping others take their work online by teaching the skills that will allow you to make money from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Working from the beach sound like your vibe? The skills I teach can help with that. Prefer those mountain views outside your window and beyond your computer screen? The skills I teach can help with that, too.
I'm not trying to kid anyone by saying it's easy. It's not. But learn the skills, put the time in to become proficient at it, and learn how to monetise your new skills with digital marketing, and you will be well on your way to creating a better way of life for yourself. You know, the one you've been dreaming of for too long now...
Time to get to it!

Every lesson... sells one a new product. I ended up spending so much, even before the course was half-done. The instructor should intimate learners ahead of lessons, of the costs involved more than anything.
By Felicity Jane Yau on 11/13/2025
certain aspects of the course are more relevant. i already have a blog, and am interested in afifliate marketing. technology advances all the time, and now, there is software that writes blogs. We need to think of the idea and then tweak the text written by AI. This hasn't been covered in the course.

Amazing course, better than other similar courses on Udemy (trust me I have tried them). Instructor is super helpful, amazingly responsive and goes out of his way to help students. Provides loads of extra free stuff to learn. Just one drawback, some parts of the course are not updated. Ricky has mentioned in Q&A that he'll update them soon though. I highly recommend this course for someone wanting to learn Blogging, SEO and Website Building.
By MJ Kate Blascovich on 4/18/2025
He is very easy to listen to. I like his information regarding attitude to build a blog, especially being able to stick to it and not give up. He gave us a simple assignment, which is doable, in the third video. So far, this is well organized, and I like that each video plays automatically after the other.

This course is good, this is my first course, and i learnt few good tools and tricks. It was realy helpfull, but i dont know how helpfull this will be in earning money in blogging. In few days i will start blogging and then i will come back and increase the rating. The quality of the video is realy good. if this is your first blogging video, then this is definitely worth it (offer price not full price).
By Maya corinna Nordmann on 2/26/2024
I love Rickys Courses, he explains well and has a bunch of good recommendations on softwares to use. I also find him in compare to other online tutors trustworthy in his recommendations and it doesn't seem like everything he mentions and promotes is just there to make money with affiliate links. Highly recommend it!
By Miriam Quasdorf on 11/29/2023
The course is very detailed and Ricky has a great way of explaining things easily and encouraging, especially the 'technical hocus pocus'. I went through the whole course and then re-watched specific sections to set up my blog. I highly recommend the course as a stepping stone to get started!
By Carolyn Foster on 4/16/2023
I get that there needs to be an introductions, but he's just repeating himself. I'm in for the long haul, so waiting to see what comes of this course. I have high hopes. Hope to not be disappointed.
By Aya S. Cook on 3/16/2023
I learned a lot of tips and techniques for writing blogs and monetization strategies from Ricky that I couldn't have learned anywhere else. His teaching style is laid-back but informative and simple to understand. Now prepare to put into action all the lessons and methods. Thank you & I appreciate you sharing the knowledge you have.
By Dim on 3/8/2023
Amazing course and teacher! Well structured and easy to follow. Finishing it will give everyone the necessary skills and knowledge to drive traffic to their website and monetize it. Also, Ricky shares many professional tricks and tools that will give you an edge, that no one is willing to share on free courses around the internet!
