NOW ENROLLING: 10 BLOG POSTS. 14 DAYS. BOOM.
Okay, so I’ve been talking about launching this program for a while. At first, it was going to be “30 Blog Posts in 30 Days,” but after I (a grizzled marketing consultant) found that to be super challenging — and rewarding — I talked with a few interested folks, who all agreed that setting out to do “30 Blog Posts in 30 Days” would set themselves up for failure.
I love failure. But, I never encourage throwing oneself at something with the knowledge that you will fail.
So, after talking with more folks (FB Chat is my Slack, let me tell you) I designed the schedule further down. Basically, 14 days with 10 blog posts. From my blogging travails, I’ve learned that blogging is a muscle, and while the first few days are a pain in the ass, it’s super gratifying now to be able to #BustOut a blog post in less than 90 minutes.
What the heck am I supposed to blog about, Bri?
Good question. Blogging is inherently an act of taking up SPACEEEE (albeit on the internet), and is therefore a bit scary. Below are some types of folks that I think will get good value out of this program:
- Creatives who know they should be blogging about their creative work (photography, visual art, makeup artists, hair stylists, barbers, etc) who feel super intimidated by blogging
- Business owners on a tight budget that doesn’t leave much room to pay writers, who need to create content for their biz (ecommerce, consultants, coaches, etc)
- People breaking into a new field who need to show that they have deep knowledge about the industry/job/company they want to break into
- Activists who want to share their experience/cause
- Folks who HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, DANG IT.
Pricing:
The Beta #DoTheDamnThing program is $50 USD (payable here), which includes daily workshops/troubleshooting/and coaching from moi, plus a Facebook group with ~10 folks doing the program. (Cap is 15, first come first serve.)
More on the Facebook Group // Your New Internet BFFs:
I’ll be SUPER ACTIVE in that group, checking it and replying to comments a minimum of 3 times a day. Picture long comment threads full of troubleshooting, brainstorming, whining about writing, etc.
BUT ALSO. Accountability is key here, so you will pick a nonprofit (or cause) to donate $5, $10, $15 or $20 to for everyday you don’t #DoTheDamnThing. And, I’ll demand to see the receipts, by you posting a screenshot of your donation in the group.
