Drive Traffic to Your Website with Blogging
Blogging is the Key to Driving Traffic to Your Tutor Website
I have always struggled with writing and being able to communicate effectively. The posts you've read here have taken me hours to write! Plus keeping a distracted reader on your website takes skill! After 5 years, I've finally found the class that has taught me how to change my writing and drive traffic.
Sticky Blogging with Kelly Holmes is hands down the best blogging course I've taken to date. I've read books, attended webinars, paid for access to a ghost writers library of resources to learn the art of writing….all to lead to writing that is flat.
To say that Sticky Blogging was transformational feels like an understatement.
It flipping changed my LIFE!
I have a method and have parents raving about what I am writing. How cool is that?
Proof it Works:
Always a good sign that they feel like I am reading their mind
My new little math site (Math for Middles) went from not much traffic to needing to increase my hosting plan.
Kelly has a free class which only opens a few times a year. You'll get a lot from her free class, but the paid one? HOLY SMOKES! I knew I was going to get a lot of value from it, but I didn't fully comprehend it until I went through it.
