Hello friends! If you have a blog I have to tell you about a Black Friday sale you DON’T.WANT.TO.MISS.
Seriously. This deal could mean a big change for your blog (in a good way). Recently, my pageviews have gone up by 49% and my Adsense revenue has been up 24%!
How did I do it?
A couple months ago, I started taking the *Elite Blog Academy. This course has been awesome and I’ve learned so much. I’m only halfway through and already the things I’ve learned from the class have translated into more traffic and more income.
Elite Blog Academy is an online course that covers all things blogging. It’s a self guided course, so I can work on it at my own pace. This is great for me because the only regular time I have to work on my blog is during my son’s naptime. It fits in perfectly with my crazy busy schedule, so it can fit into yours too!
Elite Blog Academy is by far the best blog investment I’ve ever made and I’m so glad I decided to do it!
The Elite Blog Academy course will be opened for a limited Black Friday special enrollment, from November 28th-December 5th. For one week only, enrollees will be able to get the course for $299. This is the last time the course will ever be offered at this price; when enrollment opens again in the spring the course tuition will be $399. I can easily say with complete honesty that Elite Blog Academy is worth every penny and more.
If you don’t have the time to take the course now, you can still buy it at the lower price and complete the course later down the road.
Additionally, Elite Blog Academy comes with a 100% money back guarantee, so you really have nothing to lose!

Carrie, I second everything you have said about the Elite Blog Academy. Has been a fantastic investment.
It really is an awesome investment. It’s been exciting reading about how it’s working for you too, Sarah!
Thanks for hosting Carrie! Have a great week 🙂
So glad to have you here Kendra! You have a great week too!
Yay! I’m so excited to be featured! Thank you so much! Have a happy Thanksgiving!
I absolutely loved the Ombre Wood and quote you used. It was a no-brainer to feature your post! Thanks so much for joining us again and I’m looking forward to seeing what you link up this week!
Hi Carrie! I read your article yesterday on the Blog Academy. I have really done nothing to monetize my blog at all and have felt like I can’t spent hours and hours each week for a few pennies earned. If I thought I could pull in a decent part time income without doing that I’d be interested.
Thanks for the party this week and I want to wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Blessings,
Patti
I really know where you’re coming from. I had the exact same thoughts myself–why put in all that work if it can be monetized? You have GREAT content with a goal to help others and those two things will make it much easier to monetize. Not that it’s all about making money–but you’re putting in all that time so why not?
I love how your blog points others towards God so it would be a great thing to get that message reach out to more people!
Thanks for hosting, Carrie! Loving all the Christmas ideas being shared this week. I’m hoping to get some crafting done during the holiday break.
Crafting is one of the many reasons the Christmas season is so fun!
Thanks for hosting, Carrie. Thanks also for the heads up on the Elite Blog Academy. I was really considering it a couple of months ago, but I never actually took the plunge. I’m glad to hear it has been beneficial to you. I will think long and hard about it again. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Blessings,
Nici
You must have been debating about it about the same time I was! At the very last minute I decided to do it and I’m so thankful I did. Your blog is wonderful and you have a lot of great content so if you do decide to take it you’ll be starting off from a great place!
Hi Carrie! Thank you so much for hosting. We’re thrilled you chose to feature our Bacon Spinach Blossoms this week. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
I really can’t resist anything with bacon in it! So glad to have you here at our party, Carrie!
I’m so excited for you Carrie and your success. 🙂
All the best to your and your family for a blessed Thanksgiving!
Thanks Diane! The success is still small compared to other big blogs but I’m trilled with what I’ve seen so far. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving too!
Thanks so much for hosting another fun party, Carrie!
Wishing you and your family a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving,
Suzanne
