build: a community, a business, a blog.

Last week I shared a review of the book When Talent Isn't Enough, which looks what goes into a creative business, and I heard from a lot of you who are looking to make your blog, shop, or even a future endeavor all that it can be. Even with a book that gets you going, it doesn't just happen. You have to work at it, you have to build it, and I encourage you to do just that.

Amy Schubert has been putting together a mega e-course, called BUILD, that is all about building your blog, and just about everything that goes with that: design, monetization, creating content, upkeep and more.

If you're just getting started and want to get your blog right from the start, this is a course for you. Or if you've been doing this for a long time, but feel like there's more you can do, this is a course for you. Amy knows her blogging, and she's a great person to learn from (plus she's super sweet!).

Pre-sale for BUILD starts July 4 (half price!), with regular registration starting July 9. Until then, you can sign up for NINE MONTHS of free weekly emails with blogging tips. Do it! (You really can't go wrong with that offer...)

I'm also very honored that Amy asked me to do a guest interview for BUILD. When you sign up for the course you can see and hear me talk with her about selling digital products through your blog. I'm pretty sure that I look ridiculous, but since my most recent product launch has had more than double my goal, I hope that you'll find the information I share to be helpful.
