If you have ever felt frustrated that you can’t figure out how to actually have a profitable blog…
If you’ve ever wondered how people make a part-time or full-time income from blogging…
If you’ve ever wished you could figure out how to quit your job and replace that income with blogging…
If you have a blog set up and running and you’re ready to start getting paid for your time and effort…
I'm here to help!
I get it — and I was once where you are. I was trying to figure out how on earth I could make a part-time or full-time income from home so I could stay home with my first baby.
The only problem was, we were living on a super tight budget and I didn’t have any extra money to invest in courses or classes or fancy software or systems. So I had to learn how to do it all myself and find creative ways to do things on our tiny budget.
Fast forward a number of years (14+ since I first started blogging!) and my husband is now home full-time, my blog earns 7 figures every year, we are completely debt-free (including our house!), we get to travel regularly, and give generously to causes we believe in.
All because of my blog. And I did all of this on a shoestring budget — without a college degree, without a marketing background, and without spending thousands of dollars on coaches, programs, or software.
I want to help you do the same!
How Would It Feel To…
Wake up everyday and earn passive income from your blog?
Be able to work from anywhere you can get wi-fi?
Experience more wiggle room in your budget to pay down debt, save more aggressively, or give more generously?
Have a steady income sharing what you are passionate about?
Blogging Isn't Dead!
So many people believe that blogs are no longer relevant or profitable. But I’m here to tell you that is just not the truth at all.
Let me be clear, since I first started back in 2005, blogging has changed a LOT. (Imagine trying to build a blog without Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, or Instagram! Back in the day, we had to rely on commenting on other blogs and guest posting for people to actually find us on the internet!)
Yes, it’s a very different online world these days, but it is still very possible to make good income from blogging. In fact, advertisers and companies are spending millions of dollars each year in online advertising campaigns.
Plus, blog readers are even more willing than they used to be to buy digital products — because that’s how they consume much of their media now anyway!
There is no better time to monetize your blog than NOW!
Why I wrote This Course
Every week, I receive messages from my followers asking questions on how to take their blog to the next level. I want to help each and every person, but it would be impossible to offer one-on-one coaching to each of my followers. In fact, I could try, but I’d never sleep or eat or see my family!
But if I had the chance to sit down with you one-on-one, this course teaches you everything I would want to share.
It’s for someone who has their blog set up, who is regularly blogging, but who can’t figure out how to actually start making a part-time or full-time income from blogging.
It’s for the person who is tired of spending hours of time blogging and seeing no income for all their time invested. It’s for the person who doesn’t have money to invest in expensive software or programs and who just wants to figure out how to actually start making a true part-time (or full-time!) Income from blogging.
What you will learn
This is the most comprehensive course I’ve ever created. It’s packed with practical, step-by-step help and ideas, hands-on tutorials, and worksheets.
Every word was written by me — which means that it’s not going to be techie language you can’t understand. Because if you’ve been following me for more than a minute, you know I’m not a techie person!
In this course, I will teach you:

Monetize your blog is AMAZING! Crystal captured my heart from the first lesson with her inspiring 'why' for wanting to create this course, and she held my attention all the way through the last lesson with valuable legal information. I'm not sure I have ever seen so much practical, useful, and doable information and encouragement in a single course taken on my journey to become a blogger. If you are looking to Monetize Your Blog - this is the place to start!
Quit scouring the internet in hopes of finding a trusted source. You have found it. Crystal has a brilliant blend of optimism and realism that could only come from real life experience. Monetize Your Blog will show you how to serve your audience with integrity and be rewarded for doing it.
This course does an excellent job of walking you through all the different monetization options for your blog, many of them beginner friendly. I powered through the course in a weekend, and by the end of day two I had a solid plan for starting several different monetization strategies! Crystal has a great way of explaining things, and seeing the various examples from the ways she makes money with her own blog was extremely helpful.
Time and money very well spent! Crystal has an amazing ability to take the complex, daunting process of monitizing a blog and break things down in a way that is immediately actionable and understandable. The value for this course, and the Blogging Mastermind group, is extraordinary! I've taken a number of other blogging courses, many of which are extremely expensive, and I've learned far more from Crystal than any other expert.
As a newer blogger I had no clue how to get started with monetizing my blog. Being something I kept putting off, it is something I'm actually excited and confident to put into practice. Not only does Crystal help you to lay a strong foundation, she helps you to choose options that align with your values. The lessons are short and digestible but very actionable- perfect for a busy mom like me. It's already saved me time and mistakes!
