This one decision changed everything for my family

Hello! Over 10 years ago, I started a blog as a hobby. I was working full-time as a financial analyst, buried in student loan debt, and stressed about money nearly every day. I had no idea what I was doing when I started my blog, but I was curious, and I was ready for something different. That little blog turned into something I never imagined. Because of it, I was able to: Pay off my student loans Quit my 9-to-5 job Travel the world full-time Work from anywhere (and now with a child too!) Reach financial independence And eventually retire early It didn't happen overnight. But it all started with one small decision - to start a blog and just see what might happen. I'm not promising that blogging will make you rich overnight. But it is one of the most affordable and flexible ways to start something of your own. Whether you want to make extra money, share your story, work from home, or build a business that grows over time - blogging gives you a space to do that. Even if you're not tech-savvy. Even if you don't know your topic yet. Even if you're just curious to see where it leads. You just have to take the first step.

Making Sense of Cents and Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing

P.S. I asked students of Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing to share how the course helped them to make money with their blog. Here's what I heard back:

"I took Michelle's course at the very beginning of my blogging journey when I knew NOTHING about affiliate marketing. I had no idea how to find affiliate programs, create deep links, cloak links or how to strategically add links to posts and newsletters. Michelle's course answered all these questions with easy to digest lessons, worksheets, spreadsheets and a workbook. I had my affiliate marketing up-and-running in no time, and five years later, I make about $8,000-$9,000 per month with affiliate marketing." - Kristin

"As soon as I learned and implemented what she taught in her course, I made my first $500 in affiliate income for the month. As I implemented more strategies, my affiliate income grew to $5,000+ per month, and then to a full-time income of at least $10,000 per month, solely from affiliate marketing. It was the one course that helped me not only diversify my earnings but also increase them. If you're a beginner or a struggling blogger aiming to take your earnings to the next level, then this course is a must-have." - Ling

Note: This discount only applies to the full upfront payment, which will save you 25% (the coupon code will not work on the payment plan).
