The Modern Blogging Method (2024)

And then when the most horrible historical event of our lifetime happened, I was let go like I didn’t matter, just to save the corporation a little money.

I already had big dreams of escaping the 9 to 5, spending my days doing something I love, traveling the world before retirement, and never having to “request PTO” to get a break again. I already felt there had to be more to life than what I was living, and losing my job lit a fire in me to pursue that something more with reckless abandon.

I swore to myself that I would never leave my income and my entire livelihood in the hands of some faceless corporation ever again. So I started building my first online business - working on it nights, weekends, day in and day out - pouring my heart and soul into it, praying it would work.

But I had no idea what I was doing when I first started, and my business failed miserably as a result. I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars I didn’t have, put myself out there and launched my offering, and.. crickets. I didn’t make a single sale.

I spent so much time and money on things it turns out I didn’t need. Course after course. Webinar after webinar. Software, templates, strategies, all these things other bloggers and online entrepreneurs told me I had to have to be successful.

I knew that if I was going to try again, I HAD to learn how to do it RIGHT this time - and start making money FAST.

BUT from all this failure, I learned how to launch a blog biz the RIGHT way - with very little time and money, and with income coming in QUICKLY!

I had been spending 5 days a week just waiting for my 2 day weekend, working hard to line the pockets of a massive corporation, trading my life for a paycheck.

I spent weeks trying to DIY the fanciest logo, create a “perfect webinar,” craft a high-converting funnel, writing (and spending tons of wasted money on) Facebook ads, and trying to set up software I had no idea how to use.

I didn’t know what was important to focus on and what was unnecessary. This caused me to waste thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours on things I didn’t need!

2. I didn’t know how to write blog posts that people would actually read

I spent hours staring at a blank page every time I wanted to write a blog post, trying to figure out what to say. My posts were inconsistent, took forever to write, and didn’t connect with readers - and therefore didn’t make any money.

But I finally figured out a formula that allowed me to write posts quickly and consistently, that people loved to read, and that brought in tons of income!

With my first biz, I eventually started getting plenty of people clicking on my links and reading my pages, but no one was buying.

Making money online in a way that feels natural and authentic (for you and your reader!) can seem impossible. You don’t want to feel like a sleazy salesman and your reader doesn’t want to feel like they’re being sold to.

But there is a way to create content that inspires your readers to say “YES! I want that!” When I finally figured it out, I started making tons of sales and getting tons of positive feedback from my readers!

4. I listened to bad advice from business and marketing “gurus”

I spent thousands of dollars on courses and coaching programs that just never seemed to work. All the advice was either too “woo woo/mindset” with no practical steps, or was too technical and complex, or just flat out outdated. It all made me feel like I wasn’t techy enough, wasn’t confident enough, wasn’t creative enough, or that I was just too late in the game for my blog biz to work.

But truth is, being successful in online business is simple - mastering the basics and repeating them consistently is all it takes to make great money with a blog!

I completely abandoned my first online business. It was a total flop.

But I brushed off my disappointment and started over with a new blog called xoJennie Leigh.

This time, I was going to take all my failures and lessons learned the hard way and do things completely differently. (Keep in mind, I had lost my job, so I HAD to make this work and FAST.)

I made a plan, built my blog from scratch in a week, and just ONE DAY after launching it, something incredible happened.

I made my first sale.

I remember it like it was yesterday.. I cried. A lot. Like UGLY cry, girl.

It was only $74, but it meant the world to me! It was a major turning point and I knew at that moment that everything was about to change for me.

From there, I went on to make $3,834 in my first full month from my blog.

I knew I had finally figured out the basic formula for successful online business, and that it would only grow from there.

And GROW is exactly what it did..

In fact, my blog income nearly DOUBLED in my second month!

In just my 3rd full month, my income nearly doubled again, putting me on track for my first $100,000 year! This was the month that I started implementing a Pinterest strategy, and my blog traffic (and therefore, my sales) skyrocketed.

And I have continued to bring in that amount and MORE ever since!

I want you to see that this is possible, and with the right knowledge and gameplan, it can happen quickly.

If you’re like me, just $3,834 in a month would be life-altering, and that was just the start. In this business, the possibilities for growth are completely endless!

Seriously think about it - how much of a difference would an additional $1,000 a month of income make for you and your family? For me, it changed everything! It broke the cycle of living paycheck to paycheck and allowed me to finally pay down debt, save money, and get ahead!

And that first $1,000 in my first month was just the beginning! My blog income has continued to increase from there, and is now at over $30,000 a month!

You’ve built an online business that will consistently bring in income month after month, year after year. Your business is built on a model that has withstood the test of time, so there’s no worry of “how long it will last.” You understand how to grow and scale your blog, earning $1,000, then $10,000, and even six figures every month.

This changes everything for you! You’re free from the 9-5 grind, you can spend more time on the people and things you really care about, travel the world, and finally live life on your own terms. You can have the life and business of your dreams!

Yes, The Modern Blogging Method™ makes it easy to start a profitable blog with minimal time commitment, but it does still take some time and effort! There are things to learn and things to implement.

This course will teach you everything you need to know to start your blog and start making money, but actually making it happen is up to you!

The Modern Blogging Method™ will help you drill down a niche that you will love to work in and people will love to read about. I also include a HUGE document with tons of niche and blog topic ideas that have proven to be profitable!

Just about any niche can be profitable. But to make money, you of course have to have something to sell. So here's what I tell my students to ask themselves when deciding on a niche:

Is there a product or service in your niche that you could create or be an affiliate for? If so, then YES, your niche can be profitable, and tMBMB™ will help you get there!

My first blog business was in the intuitive eating, food psychology, and non-diet weight loss niche (check out my old highlights and posts on Instagram - I just can't let them go! 😂)

I also launched my first course and program in that space. For the longest time, my blog didn't make much money, and my course wasn't exactly a smash hit. Once I finally figured things out, starting making money from my blog, and started selling courses, I began talking more and more about blogging, money, success mindset, and online business.

You can read more about my business journey on my ABOUT page!

There are many ways bloggers make money, but tMBM™ focuses on the easiest, fastest way to start making money as a beginner - affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is when you promote a product that someone else created and earn money every time your readers buy.

Read my in-depth blog post How Bloggers Make Money for the full rundown on affiliate marketing and more!

There are a few programs that I will highly recommend to make the most money from your blog, most of which have a free trial period (I started making money on my blog before the free trials ran out!) But the only thing you MUST have is a Squarespace membership and a domain.

The Squarespace basic plan starts at $16 a month, and a domain from GoDaddy is $11.99. OR, if you purchase the yearly membership from Squarespace, you will save an extra 20% and get a free domain.

If you show me that you’ve implemented all the steps in The Modern Blogging Method™ and you don’t make any money within a month after launching your blog, I will 100% refund you the cost of this course.

That means you are purchasing this course with ZERO RISK and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO LOSE.

Seriously, please don’t. That’s what I did and it cost me months of time wasted on things that didn’t work, and my first online business failed because of it. And many of the methods and strategies I teach in this course are original and cannot be found anywhere else.
