Hello, friends!
My name is Alex, and I'm a nerd, mountain girl, and New York dreamer. I've been a blogger for 10+ years. After starting several websites and learning what to do (and what not to do) I now have a successful travel blog where I get paid to travel the world.
After working with brands such as National Geographic, the North Face, Contiki, and many others, I want to share how you can make your blogging dreams possible by gaining and audience and (potentially) getting paid to do what you love.
I also am obsessed with pizza because...does it need an explanation?

Frequently asked questions
Q: Who is this course for?
A: This course is for those who have been afraid to start out their blogging journey before now or have felt as though they don't have direction. It covers the very basics from finding your niche to pitching your very first sponsors.
Q: How can this be completed?
A: Want to do it week by week? Or binge? You can choose to do whatever works best for you and your learning style.
Q: Is there is limit to the number of people who can join?
A: Yes. I only admit 30 people at a time so I can make sure to answer your questions and so I have time to book our one-on-one coaching sessions.
Q: Will I need anything else to get started?
A: You will need to choose a hosting service (we talk about that in the course) and pay for your domain. Other than that, all tools I recommend are free.
Q: Is there pizza?
A: Duh.
Q: What will I walk away from this course with?
A: You will walk away from the course with a fully-functioning website, the tools you need to grow your traffic and pitch sponsors, and a community to share your wins and questions.
Q: Can you guarantee that I will be a paid blogger after I finish this course?
A: I can't guarantee that you will be able to make money from your blog--much of it depends on whether or not you are 100% committed to making your blog a success and using these lessons to the best of your ability. I can, however, guarantee that I give you all the tools you need in this course to start your blogging career and to set yourself up for life as a paid blogger.
