Don’t let your fear of WordPress keep you from achieving your blogging dreams!

Are you ready to get your blog launched, but you’re wasting hours of your time trying to figure out WordPress?

Do you wish you had someone to hold your hand and walk you step-by-step through WordPress so you can spend more time blogging and less time trying to figure out how?

Do you find yourself held back from your blogging dreams because you just can’t overcome your fear of WordPress?

Crystal Paine

Hi! I’m Crystal Paine, wife to Jesse, mom of three kids (Kathrynne, Kaitlynn, and Silas), New York Times bestselling author, speaker, business consultant, and founder of MoneySavingMom.com, YourBloggingMentor.com, and Your Blogging University™.

When I first started blogging over 12 years ago, there weren't any blogging experts, blogging courses, or blogging how-to manuals. In fact, most people didn't even know what a blog was!

Since I didn’t have anyone to hold my hand and teach me the ins and outs of blogging, I had to learn it all on my own. And trust me, it wasn't easy.

I remember well the many nights when I felt like pulling my hair out because I couldn't figure out how to get something to work or the many days when my blog would be down (yet again!), and I couldn't figure out how to fix it!

Now, over 12 years later, I successfully run two blogs (MoneySavingMom.com and YourBloggingMentor.com) and an online blogging education platform, and I believe beyond any shadow of a doubt that if I can be a successful blogger, so can you!

I want to help you so you spend less time feeling frustrated and overwhelmed by the technical aspects of blogging and more time enjoying the benefits of inspiring people with your blog!

Introducing WordPress 101!

A course meant to break down the barrier of technical know-how, WordPress 101 is designed to help a brand new blogger succeed at blogging with WordPress without any technical experience whatsoever.WordPress is easily the most powerful, robust blogging platform in the world—but it lacks in one area: It’s not that easy to figure out on your own!That is, until now.

After hearing SO many new and prospective bloggers express their discouragement and frustration with trying to figure out WordPress on their own, we put together this comprehensive course to make sure no new blogger will ever have to fumble their way to WordPress success again!

What People Are Saying:

"I purchased your course and had my child development blog up and running within a week! I thought it was really straightforward with great tips. I loved that it was not overly “wordy” as I’ve seen on other how-to blog guides. The key advice for me was thinking of blogging as a marathon and not a sprint. I’m very excited for what the future holds!"

"I need to thank you, Crystal, for being a huge help in getting my new blog started. My goal was to have it up and running by June 14, but after completing your first Blogging University class I published my first post on June 2"

~Diane, (5 Days to a Successful Blog Launch Student)

"I've blogged irregularly for years just as a way to journal, and have become so overwhelmed in the past with my passion to make it something more… My site is launched (with a few stressors and frustrations)!! I COULD NOT and WOULD NOT have done it without your class… you made something possible that would not have otherwise been possible. THANK YOU."

"My site has now been moved from WordPress.com to WordPress.org. Thanks a million times over for your help in pointing me in the right direction... I was completely confused, and I'm afraid I'd still be floundering if you hadn't helped me. I'll be forever grateful for your assistance and the Blog Startup 101 Course!"

~Marita, (Blog Start-Up 101 Student)

"After turning my wheels with a hobby blog for two years, I switched domains and launched my new blog at the end of April. All the information that you've been putting out on social media, the website and course has been JUST what I needed!! (Seriously, perfect timing!) At the end of May, I had 2,700 pageviews and using some of the strategies from YourBloggingMentor, I was able to jump to more than 27,000 pageviews for June!! So, THANK YOU! And I look forward to following and implementing strategies that you share! "

~Jane, (YBU™ Student)

"Just wanted to let you know that after months (maybe a year) of starting and stopping, trying to get my blog to work, I accessed your Blog Startup 101 from my Ultimate Bundles - Genius Bloggers Toolkit. I have a blog! With an actual post! Starting on Step 5, and then I will be on to WordPress 101. Thank you for the step by step instructions. I didn't feel lost or overwhelmed. Looking forward to the rest of the series!"

~Susan K. (YBU™ Student)

"Starting a blog can be incredibly overwhelming and it's really easy to get lost in the weeds. Blog Start-Up 101 is PERFECT for sifting through those weeds and getting right to the heart of exactly what you need to know and to do to start a successful blog. The course and workbook provide perfectly detailed tutorials on everything. Not only is the information fantastic, but Crystal is incredibly knowledgeable, so very likable, and down to earth. You will not regret buying this course!"

"It’s been wonderful to be able to rely on the information in Blog Start-Up 101 to tell me exactly what I need to do to get my blog up and running. There are so many things I never would have thought of—like the Social Warfare plugin—and I just know I would have realized I need social media sharing buttons sometime in the future and then spent hours online trying to figure out how to make that happen. It has been nice to be able to just follow the step-by-step instructions in the course to get all the little details like that worked out so I can focus my time and energy on writing blog posts."
