More Than A Blog FAQ
Yes! This course will help you lay a strong foundation for your purpose and message before you get overwhelmed with all the blogging options. It will help you make better decisions as you begin your online ministry.
It really depends on how many of the extra resources you explore from the weekly Resource Roundup. The main course curriculum (Bible Case Study and Worksheet Walkthrough) will take about an hour each week. Adding in some time for the Resource Roundup, the Tech Tip or optional Facebook group, allowing two hours a week would be plenty.
Will I have access to the materials after the course?
Yes, the course modules will be delivered via email, so you can save them and have them as long as you like. A Facebook group is also available to all my graduates to connect and follow up.
Will you teach me how to set up my blog?
No. This is not specifically a blogging technical course. You'll get some basic guidance and referrals to technical experts I know and trust and who specialize in the Christian blogging niche.
What have others learned from the course?
Hear from my graduates in their own words:
Kelly Basham posted this on her blog: When You're Feeling Stuck in Your Calling
BJ posted about her experience on her Facebook timeline
And Kathie Harris shared this in a Facebook group:
Back in May I took this six-week blogging course that has been instrumental in forming my freelance writing business. I highly recommend More Than A Blog to anyone looking to start a blog with a purpose, or improve the one you already have!
