Launch Your Blog Biz

The ultimate solution for starting and growing a blog to making over $1,000/month — without being a tech wizard or a scammy salesperson!

Our blogging career started out with a big FAT FAILURE…

Hey, y’all! We’re Alex and Lauren, and this is a photo from our first blog.

We started out no differently than probably most of you.

I, Lauren, was a CPA doing tax for an accounting firm and Alex was working full-time as a personal trainer, trading his hours for dollars.

We had big dreams of escaping the 9-5 and putting an end to limited vacation time and chasing weekends… of traveling the world before we were retired.

We started our first blog and worked nights and weekend on it — pouring our hearts into it.

The truth is that we had NO idea what we were doing when we first started, and our first blog failed — spectacularly — as a result.

It’s a tough pill to swallow, but it’s the truth.

Not everyone starts a blog the right way or becomes successful. In fact, the majority don’t…

We were SO excited for our first blog and we had tons of ideas and energy behind it, but we never felt like we were actually going anywhere.

We felt like we we just spinning our wheels and “hoping” it would work.

The worst part: We spent a LOT of money on software and other things that we didn’t need at the time.

Courses on courses. Webinars on webinars. Things other bloggers and entrepreneurs told us we that we had to have…

It’s not all doom and gloom though.

It was through these experiences and initial failures that we learned how to successfully launch a blog the RIGHT way.

But… Why did the first blog really fail??

We made every mistake in the book the first time around…

1. We wasted time and money on the wrong things.

We spent days trying to design a logo that changed at least 5 more times in the following weeks. For a blog that ultimately failed…**face palm**

We didn’t know what we should focus on or what we should ignore. This led us to waste thousands of dollars AND hours on things we didn’t need!!!

2. We didn’t properly learn how to use WordPress!

WordPress is the most powerful blogging platform out there, but we had NO idea what we were doing with it. Trying to make the simplest changes with our blog proved to be very difficult.

All we wanted was to create a beautiful blog and get our message out there. Is that too much to ask?

3. We didn’t know how to easily write blog posts people loved.

We created the content that WE thought other people wanted to read. This led to our blog being entirely about ourselves — not our readers. We wasted hours and days writing blog posts and going over them again and again, trying to “get it right.”

It was only later on that we learned how to create content people loved.

4. We didn’t know how to make money.

We had people showing up to read our blog, but we had no idea how to connect with our audience and make money.

Making money on the internet is daunting enough when you don’t know what you’re doing! And we had no clue!

5. We got bad advice from wannabe “Gurus.”

We purchased quite a few “expert blogger” courses that never seemed to work. It felt like everyone else was just “lucky” and that we just didn’t have what it took.

The problem was that we were looking in the wrong places and we weren’t able to find the RIGHT people to learn from. People like us. Normal people.

But we turned this first failure around with our next blog…

From failure to two grown adults jumping up and down like school children…

So we abandoned the first blog we started. It was an epic failure.

And we started a completely new blog called Avocadu.

This time we were going to take all the mistakes we made originally and do it differently.

About 4 months in of trail and error something crazy happened.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

We were trying yet another way to make money with our blog.

We had been burned so many times up to this point.

But then everything changed…

We gave a new system a try…

One we made up.

We finally decided to trust ourselves, use our failures, and try something completely new

AND WE MADE OUR FIRST $172.82 IN BLOGGING INCOME!

We finally did it! We proved that we could make some amount of money from our blog! Here are some screen shots from that month:

Amazon Associates: $85.62

Clickbank Marketplace: $87.20

While you might not think it’s much, that first income meant the world to us.

It was gas money. Grocery money. Money to pay for some of our blogging expenses.

After 4 months of blogging, we had made $0 and were getting discouraged.

We didn’t have much help or guidance. And the help we did have was the wrong kind. We were mostly winging it based on the jumbled amount of free information (95% of which completely wasted our time) that we found online.

We didn’t yet know it at the time, but this first $172.82 was shockingly life-altering. We had just figured out the first piece of the puzzle that eventually led us to becoming six-figure bloggers.

Because this is what happened next…

Our income started doubling EVERY MONTH for the next few months!

In February, we made $924 (a 525% increase!)

This was the month that we stumbled on how to use emails to sell affiliate products, and the first step to begin scaling our income.

In the following months, our income was not only increasing — but it was becoming CONSISTENT!

In March, we earned $2,353.

At this point, we would wake up every morning, hop out of bed, and run to check our email for sales.

And most days, we were making sales overnight while we were sleeping!

So, what happened?? Why was everything growing so quickly??

Well, the short answer is that we had just failure enough to make it work. We learned from all those mistakes.

And it only grew from there…

We took all the lessons we learned and built not just one but TWO successful blogs…

Our failures taught us how to launch Avocadu.com — the RIGHT way!

(We have tutorials that show you how to create a beautiful blog just like this!)

• In the first month, we successfully launched and built our blog from scratch!
• By the 3rd month, we had 300,000+ visitors and readers and had and quit our full-time jobs!
• By the 6th month, we had made $17,163.98 with our blog!
• By the end of the first year, we had made $103,467.98 blogging and started traveling the world!

And launched a third blog, Create and Go:

• In the first month, we successfully launched and built our blog from scratch!
• By the 3rd month, we had 30,000+ monthly visitors and had made our first course!
• Currently… we are making over $50,000/month with this blog alone!

Because of these successes, we have been able to help so many people start a money-making blog…

THE RIGHT WAY.

Does any of the following resonate with you?

1. You feel like something is missing in life.

Maybe you’re staring out the office window watching the sunny days pass by. Maybe you just want more time to spend with your kiddos at home. Or to travel the world before you’re 65 — when you’re young enough to really ENJOY IT. Or maybe you’re just tired of building someone else’s dream in the corporate world… That something more is called freedom — to live the life that you desire.

2. You love the idea of making money online but are feeling overwhelmed.

Everyone and their brother is pitching you a new get-rich-quick scheme. How do you sort through the phonies from the real guys? You’re likely swimming up to your eyeballs in bad information and have no idea who to listen to and where to start.

3. You don’t know what to blog about or how to make money.

You weren’t born a “sales person” and don’t intuitively just get how that process works. None of this comes “naturally” to you like it must for everyone else. We’re here to tell you that you don’t have to be a magical unicorn sales guru to make money online. Far from it.

We GET it, y’all. We really do.

We were in your shoes just a hot second ago. Big dreams but no idea how to achieve them. CPA and personal trainer, remember? We were (and still are!) average joes. If we can do this, you can too!

Take a second to imagine…

You start your blogging career off with a HOT START!

You’re sizzling… you’re hot to touch… you’re on fire!

A fast start helps you build momentum and success breeds success. You don’t waste your time anymore trying to be a professional “value hunter” on the internet and get results FAST.

You are building the foundation for your blog to THRIVE.

These are the lessons you need to understand not only how to start and launch your blog but to take it to $1,000 per month — and beyond!

You are making your first $1,000/month from your blog.

Take a moment to imagine how that kind of money would impact your life. Like seriously, just pause for a second. That’s an extra $12,000 per year.

You learn all of this and more from six-figure bloggers who don’t just blog about business.

Our first six-figure blog, Avocadu.com, is our health and wellness blog that we have taken to earning over six figures in a year. We don’t just blog about business and blogging. Our courses contain the strategies that we have used successfully in multiple blog niches.

This is why our information WORKS.

It’s not just fluff to build up your ego, it’s results-based information that can change your life.

And we WANT to change your life…

And now, it’s your turn to finally build your blog the right way and make your first $1,000/month from your blog!
