Make Money Blogging Pt 1. What NOT to Do

012. The next saga in our fast and furious failures is here… (and we’ve had many more than these movies, I can assure you). This episode is Part 1 of 3 in a series on making money with your blog. And as we often do here, we’re first sharing what did NOT work out for us before we share what did.Including our first attempt at webinars, which I consider our real rock-bottom, most cringe-worthy moment.I won’t spoil the story here, but it was an epic catastrophe -- and one that our MOMS were there to witness. 🙈Y’all, we tried everything:AdsAmazon productsLaunches and webinarsAffiliate marketing and selling other people’s productsOur own productsTripwires and upsellsAnd they were all failures.But the really cool thing here is…Almost all of the methods to make money that we tried weren’t complete failures. They were just failures at that point in time.We ended up making money using these same methods several months later when we had a better idea of what the heck we were doing.We’ll talk more about that in Part 2 and Part 3 of this series.And I’m excited to announce that joining me in this first episode of the series is my co-founder, Alex Nerney! I couldn’t really tell this part of the story without him.For additional resources and show notes, visit the episode podcast page on our website.Resources and Mentions:Tutorial: How to Start a Successful BlogStart your first blog with our Free 5-Day Blogging BootcampFor more information and resources, check out the podcast page on our website.
