Super Cool Online Blogging Class

Mom's taking a new class that she loves. It's a live 'online' class called 'Profitable Blogging for Beginners.' It's targeted at blogging moms, but Mom took a chance and signed up as a 'cat mom' and was welcomed with open arms. The class is at a site called Blogelina is run by a very nice and knowledgeable woman named Tanya Peterson, who told Mom that while she's targeting moms, she wouldn't turn anyone away.  ; )

Mom told some anipal friends about it and now the class is being inundated (in a good way) with anipal moms! I think there were five or six of them there tonight. We actually first heard about the class in a Two Little Cavaliers newsletter. (Thanks, girls!)

The price can't be beat. It's $5 for four 2 hour live online chat-room-style classes, with a 60 page class manual that you print out. You can have no blog at all, (really, really a beginner) or already have a full blown blog or website, and still find this useful. 

AND you get a year's FREE GoDaddy web hosting, which Mom's never bought before because it's normally $84/year. This has given her the push she needs to move to self-hosted blogs and websites. You'll notice Mom hasn't made the switch yet, but it's next on her list, and she's already received her web hosting account information from GoDaddy. Tanya's gotten Mom all signed up for their Deluxe Linux web hosting plan.  : )

The class meets from 9-11pm EST on Tuesdays, and just keeps repeating starting over with Class #1 every four weeks, with some folks coming back every week to learn and share more. Tanya emails participants the class notes with all the tips and links that were discussed during the class, so they don't have to take notes during the class. Everyone can focus on the chat and slides.

Everyone follows one another's blogs and giveaways, and helps each other figure things out. It's really nice - and fun spending an evening with anipals' moms - and 'regular' women! LOL.

Blogelina also has a free email list and a lot of free tips and stuff. You don't have to buy anything. For that matter, if you really can't afford the $5, Tanya says to email her and she'll work something out! And there's a 30 Day Guarantee. If you're not satisfied after 30 days, you get you $5 back. Srsly.

Mom paid her $5 by Paypal and enrolled in the class, downloaded class manual, and looked around the Blogelina site. Tanya has another offer for her 'Blogging Bundle - 8 Resources for Your Blog' for $10, a package of other downloads. (This bundle and the class are the only things she's selling). Mom bought those, too, then found out that if you buy the Bundle, you get the class enrollment free - including the GoDaddy web hosting. 

Mom emailed Blogelina and said she'd already paid the $5 for the class, but also bought the other $10 package - and Tanya immediately refunded $5 to Mom Paypal account. We're very impressed. You could skip the extra package and just take the class and get the free web hosting for $5. 

We assume Blogelina's trying to get tons of people taking the class so she can eventually charge more money, but first she has to have lots of people raving about it, like Mom (and me), which we obviously are, so her strategy is working.

Blogelina also has an affiliates program. If you, or anyone, signs up from Mom's referral link, she gets a 75% commission - which is, are you sitting down? $3.75. Whether you use our referral link or not, we do think a lot of our friends would like this class, and Mom would love to have you in the class with her next week!
