Does your blog feel stuck, stagnant or stale?
Are you afraid no one is reading your blog? You write and share on social media but it feels like talking into a void. You’re tired of being invisible online. Tired of winging it. You used to be obsessed with your blog but now you’re just tired of trying things and not seeing results.
You wish you had a plan. A guide that would take your blog from crickets to a traffic avalanche. What if you could learn from someone who has been blogging for years? Someone who would take you by the hand and lead you through every aspect of growing your blog?

Hi, I'm Hope
My journey into blogging started years ago, when "Live Journals" became a "big thing".
In the last 15 years, I've worked as an Event Producer for a national charity, running one of the largest conferences for television producers in the world. I was also a renaissance festival performer for about 4 years. But when my husband and I decided to start a family, I focused on my small event photography business. That is when I found blogging for business and discovered what a powerful tool it can be!
Since then, I have personally built 3 businesses through blogs, over 50 blogs for other companies and worked to create a programs that will help others build their businesses. Over the last 2 years, I have taught over 400 bloggers to build their dreams into WordPress reality.
