Who doesn't, right?! 😀
The 7 worksheets I mentioned in this blog post are invaluable if you're thinking of working with Brands, Advertisers and BIG sponsors that will pay to be featured on your blog.
In that post I mentioned that I've been going into great detail on how to sell advertising and work with Brands in the last 4 Modules of my Niche Success Blueprint weekly training series.
Be sure to see the email I received from David Leigh, which I shared in that blog post too, where he shared how he's seeing success (already!) with a blog he otherwise found very difficult to monetize. He said:
"I'd never even considered working with brands for some reason, and now see what I've been missing out on!"
I've been doing very well with brands, sponsors and advertisers over the last few years. I was able to get my first Site Sponsor for my low carb blog when it was barely 2 months old. I earned $750 to write a single (short) blog post on another one of my blogs for a big name (well known) brand - which is also great credibility for my Media Kit!! I've had companies give away awesome products to my readers (giveaways bring more traffic!) - and they even paid me to do it.
The options are endless, and there are TONS of opportunities out there!
The Niche Success Blueprint modules I referred to were Modules 17, 18, 19 & 20. If you're enrolled and you aren't that far along yet, email me with your PayPal email address (so I can look up your account) and I'll be happy to send you those four modules if you want to "fast forward" and study that topic now.
If you're NOT enrolled in my Niche Success Blueprint course (um, why not?! lol) I'll give you an opportunity to download these four modules too - without taking the whole course. This topic is just TOO good not to share with you:

Hi Lynn Terry
First of all let me say very loudly you have the most clear concepts of money blogging and online marketing. It shows you are not here to sell the products but to equally benefit your audience. The major sign of expertise is to transform the difficult things into easier one which you surely have done in your posts and in your product above as evinced from its glimpses.
I first time visited your blog and much impressed by the quality of its contents. Thanks for doing this great job.
Welcome Mi! And thank you. 😀
"The major sign of expertise is to transform the difficult things into easier one which you surely have done in your posts and in your product above as evinced from its glimpses."
Indeed. 🙂
As Albert Einstein (probably) once said, "'If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself."
Hi Lynn!
I love your blog which I've just found on 100 Best Blogs. Thank you for sharing your methods of making money from blogs.
After many years of chasing shiny objects looking for a way of making money on line that worked for me, I've finally realized I needed a mentor. The first thing he suggested was to start a blog. I have a long, long road to travel and, at 66, and being a very slow learner, my progress will be slow.
Blogs like yours will give me the incentive to carry on. Bless you. May you always
Keep smiling!
Mike

Blogging is not that difficult. Keep it simple. It's easier than you think! 😉
I believe the world's oldest blogger is 113 years old right now! 🙂
Compared to that, you're still a spring chicken. Lol.
Well, blogging is really not that hard to learn at any rate. 😉
