Here’s How The Course Works…

Blogging Blastoff is a 30-day program designed to get you results FAST.

The course starts on the 1st day of the month. Each day you’ll get a new module “unlocked” to focus on, broken into several bite-size chunks that take you on average 5 minutes each to go through. (We do it this way so you don’t get overwhelmed by the massive amount of information you’ll be learning!)

But — this isn’t just “information” that you’ll skim and forget.

At the end of each day, you get a mini-assignment — so you know exactly what you need to do to put the material into practice, and start building a successful blog!

At the same time, you’ll have access to our VIP Blogging Blastoff Facebook Group (see below), which provides you with new friends and a support network to encourage and help you through each day’s coursework.

All in all, with a time investment of around half an hour a day on the course, if you do the work … you’ll start seeing some amazing results.

Yet even though we could have stopped there and it STILL would have been the best blogging course on the market … Pete and I wanted to go the extra mile for you.

And that means … you guessed it, BONUSES!!
