Hey Alberto! I really appreciate you sharing this feedback, seriously. I’m always looking to improve my content (and myself in my delivery of what I’ve learned/teach), so this is super constructive feedback. I’m definitely taking it into account for my upcoming revamp of my free course, some video updates and other content updates. 🙏

Hi Ryan,
many months ago I subscribed to a free short mail course of yours on starting a blog.
A month ago decided to start doing what you said there, which took me from getting a hosting to start publishing
(aproperworld.com).
I’m amazed at how much you cover in your posts or mails, but let me tell you this.
I think you focus way too much in having people get the hosting deal and then you keep going just mentioning stuff.
I got lost to be honest, managed somehow to make a post and from then on I don’t know what to do next, what am I missing of the critical stuff, should I jump into reaching related groups, promote my stuff? should I configure a mailing list first? Should I openly announce who I am, where I am from, should I use my personal email or make a new one.
Is it ok if I use bluehost included email?
Should I use my blog’s mail to create social network profiles or should I create a specific mail for each platform?
Don’t get me wrong, I think you do a great job, you cover pretty much everything in your posts, which are never boring, but sometimes a bit shallow, long and tiring.
Do you have more specific content?
Blogging is a very huge and hard thing to master, as most things in life are, and I don’t pretend to master it in one month or that you give us everything nearly done, but maybe you could link to specific content videos or guides if you don’t feel like doing it yourself.
Maybe I’m wrong, but take it as a perspective from someone who actually believed in you, in your product, in what you recommend.
I hope it helps you improve somehow.
Kind regards

Well, having just listened to the podcast and checked Michelle’s income report for September (https://www.makingsenseofcents.com/2018/10/september-2018-income-report.html#more-36973), looks like she’d still be making around $36,000 per month EXCLUDING the course… Not sure what job you have, but that’s not too bad to start with. Secondarily, I imagine anyone making it to that level would have an incentive to create content sharing the method through which they got there. Either way, seems like a pretty strong motivator from my perspective…

so she’s making serious money not from any real information from her blog but for SELLING her course on how to write a blog. Her whole blog is centered around getting readers to sign on to her course. Basically if you take away her course, she’d be earning hardly any money.
