Want to start a mom blog but not sure where you should be focusing your time? I spent a year combing through loads of resources on how to start a blog. If you plan on starting a blog you are going to have to invest some money upfront, but it can start to add up really quickly. Here I’ve compiled a list of my favorite blogging resources you can get for free.

12 Day Blog Boot Camp
This is a free course by one of my absolute favorite blog mentors, Scrivs. I’m apart of his Billionaire Blog Club and it is hands down on of the best resources I have on blogging. To be apart of his “club” you have to pay a flat entry fee, and then you get lifetime access. The intro fee may seem steep, but the value is incredible for the price.
I like Scrivs because he definitely keeps it “real” and is very involved in his community of bloggers. He constantly adds courses that all of his blogging members have access to as they come out, and he stays active in the community answering our burning questions. He’s really helped me fine tune my Pinterest strategy and helped me figure out SEO as well. AND if you’re not sold on this, just check out his blog income report. Insane.
