Seize the Moment with Blogging Today... Here's Why:
The clock is ticking, and the time for action is NOW!
Not tomorrow, not later this year—RIGHT NOW.
While others are still trying to make their Instagram grow and work, YOU can shine by harnessing the incredible power of blogging.
Don't just have a name on Instagram and deliver free content daily without any real gain from it — amplify it with a captivating blog you're passionate about that will help you grow.
And remember, your priority isn't just a blog—it's a thriving email list.
Make it your #1 business-building essential.
Today's blogging landscape is reminiscent of the exciting days in 2006 when pioneers first ventured into the blogging world. A fresh opportunity to flourish is at your doorstep.
Why?
Too many abandoned their blogs for the allure of Instagram, only to discover it's not a profit haven unless your a famous (1M+ followers) "Influencer".
With the Instagram influencer bubble deflating, the comeback is on. And where does the spotlight return?
Blogs.
Substack.
Email list cultivation.
I'm thrilled to introduce the game-changing "Blogging Today: Substack, Blogs + Email List Building."
Building upon my groundbreaking 2009 Blogging Your Way course, I've revamped it for 2023 to equip you with the precise strategies tailored to today's dynamic content landscape.
Unleash your potential, craft a business you adore, and set forth on this exhilarating journey of growth!
Hi, I'm Holly Becker
I can't wait to show you how to blog in 2023! I'm a self-made American entrepreneur who immigrated to Germany in 2009 after spending my life on the east coast. With a business and interior design background, I was one of the original "influencers" who founded one of the first interior blogs in the world - which evolved into four books, tours, a magazine, podcast, products, and my teaching venture - I've been teaching online for 15 years.
Amidst being a mother and an immigrant, I've navigated a new culture and life in Europe and coped with parental loss during Corona.
I empower others to embrace creativity and inner strength just as I have. Lessons from my life fuel my passion for guiding students to their next levels.
Through my online course 'Blogging Today,' I share insights gained from self-made success as a blogger, emphasizing genuine connection and personal growth, along with the tremendous opportunities that can come from blogging.
Join me to unlock your potential and build the life you dream of, starting with a blog and email list. I can't wait to guide you along your journey!
