Update: this course will be open for enrolments for just over 1 more day.
I only promote one blogger training resource each year and this is the only week this until 2016 that they have enrolments open.
I’m very fussy about what blogger training resources I promote (because there is so much hype and dubious practice in this space) but today have a recommendation for an authentic and valuable program that I know will help many ProBlogger readers.
Here’s what you need to know.
The Short Story
The Elite Blog Academy is one of the most comprehensive blogging courses I’ve ever come across – and it’s available to enrol in with an early bird offer for just the next 5 days with the coupon code PROBLOG (which saves you $50).

The Longer Story
Last year I had the opportunity to meet a great US based blogger by the name of Ruth Soukup.
We only had the chance to grab a quick coffee while I was in Portland but in that time Ruth really impressed me with her story of starting and growing her blog Living Well Spending Less.
While like us all Ruth made her share of mistakes in the early days over the first four years of the blog Ruth managed to grow its readership to over a million monthly readers and to generate a full time income from it.
I was really impressed with both Ruth’s success but also the clear and strategic she applied to her blogging.
Numerous times as she spoke I wanted to take notes as she’d been experimenting with techniques I’d not come across before – particularly around Pinterest and social media.
At the end of her story I remember thinking ‘I wish we could bottle what you’ve done and share it with ProBlogger readers’.
No sooner than I’d thought this Ruth slid across the table a white folder with an outline for her EliteBlog Academy course. Yep – she’d bottled it!
The Elite Blog Academy: Enrolments Close in Five Days
Ruth’s Elite Blog Academy is literally her stepping you through her process for building a profitable blog in 12 wonderfully crafted lessons. You can learn more about it here (but use the coupon code PROBLOG to save $50).
Here’s a short video about the course:
The course is delivered through

- a series of 4 live webinars with Ruth
- weekly office hours to chat with the team

This course is not designed for the faint of heart – it requires work (as does successful blogging) and a willingness to really buckle down. That said, for those who are willing to do the work, it also comes with a 100% money-back guarantee.
Anyone who completes the course and has not seen measurable results in both traffic and income growth will get their money back, no questions asked. That’s a pretty incredible promise, but it means that you’ve literally got nothing to lose.

Disclaimer: as stated above – I want to be clear that I’m an affiliate for this product but do so having checked it out and genuinely recommending Ruth it’s creator and the program itself. I’m also so impressed with Ruth’s teaching I’m flying her to Australia later this year to do some teaching at our ProBlogger Event – she’s the real deal!
is the course meant for intermediate blogger or newbie can also opt for it? do i need to have any prior knowledge before opting for this course ?
Hi Laurie – good question. It’s probably more useful for someone who already has a blog set up – so not a complete newbie. Having said that it’s got the kind of information in it that I think you’d refer back to for years to come as a newer type blogger even if some of it was a little more advanced than we’re you might be at right now. Hope that helps!
Hi Darren,
Happy to tweet this to spread the blogging word. If you endorse it, I know it’s good money ;)

Ryan,
What do YOU know about “good money form blogging?” How long have you been “blogging” for and creating “lots and lots of content?”
It seems like a great deal! I have always admired bloggers and the whole blogging concept. Tried blogging myself, but only as an amateur – kind of hobby. I might sign up for the course, thanks for sharing!
This is the need of the bloggers that after getting share or tweeting this article they will feel much learning experience through this post.
Again thanks for this.
You lost some credibility from me by posting this. I was in the first round of EBA and was not impressed. It was the exact same thing as her $20 book. Even in her video she’s not looking in the camera, she is reading script straight from her book word for word. People promote this because of the huge affiliate percent she offers of 40%. Sorry, but she can’t pay me to promote this.
You obviously didn’t take much time to go through the course material. It’s true that the format of the course follows the same outline as her book, but the handouts and assignments go so much more in depth. I loved her book but the course has allowed me to dive so much deeper and actually give me a plan of attack. Plus the bonus material has been incredible, and the forum and the live Q&A sessions are great too, and none of that is in the book! Ruth says over and over that the course only works if you do the work. I’ve taken other courses that were a lot more expensive, and none of them have even come close to the depth of knowledge that this one offers.
Challange is always the same with those things – having enough time to commit – For most of the stuff the people making the money is the one’s teaching these courses, not the people buying them – Think about that!
I signed up and have found it very informative. Although I’ve been blogging for over 10 years on various blogs, I hadn’t really focused on generating income with my current blog — it’s happened, but not to the point where I could consider it a full-time income. I’m midway through lesson 5, which focuses on Social Media. That wasn’t around when I first began blogging, so the info is proving useful. The price is a bit steep, but if it pays off with increased earnings I’ll be happy.
How many times a day are you blogging?

Hi,
I’m really enjoying your site and will be signing up for the Build a Better Blog in a couple of weeks when I can dedicate myself to the program. I did want to let you know that there is a typo in your headline – “enrolment” .
Thanks for all that you are offering.
Really good to see this kind of training in blogging. Is there any chance for the enrolment date to be extended?
That sounds interesting. I’ll try it since it seems worth the price
This is a very useful post for all the bloggers. Keep posting valuable content like this. Thank you !
