Blogging Basics: A New Online Course, Starting in September 2021
Discover the time, confidence, support, and ideas you need to start your blog and keep it going.
The what
· Six guided weekly online sessions, to start your blog and keep posting regularly
· Only 8 places available, for maximum idea-sharing, support, and interaction
· You’ll get clear on what to say, how to say it, and where to share it
· You’ll learn how to structure your posts so they’re reader friendly, and how to find images that complement your writing
· You’ll join a private Facebook group for extra support and to test ideas
· You’ll finish the course with the skills, confidence, support, and ideas you need to keep on blogging
The when, the where, and the ‘how much?’
When: 29th September 2021, on six consecutive Wednesday evenings.
Time: 6:30–8pm each week.
Where: Online, hosted via Zoom (free-to-use meeting software).
Cost: £299 for all six sessions, plus Facebook group advice and support in between.
(This is much cheaper than booking six separate 90-minute mentoring sessions, which would cost £495. In other words, it’s quite the little bargain.)
Blogging Basics is for you, if:
· You’ve got an idea for a blog, but you’ve been overthinking it — so much so that you haven’t yet written a word.
· You want to make blogging a habit.
· You’re scared about sharing your writing, especially when it starts to get personal.
· You struggle to come up with new ideas.
· You enjoy being part of a small and supportive group.
Blogging Basics isn’t for you, if:
· You want to focus on numbers and SEO, rather than writing something others can connect with.
· You’re not worried about the quality of your writing.
· You don’t want to commit to writing new blog content every week, or supporting others to do the same.
What previous bloggers have said:
“This has been one of the best (arguably THE best) online courses I have taken. I always thought of writing classes as very complex and energy draining. But this was the total opposite — I was looking forward to Wednesdays, the theory was uncomplicated and to the point, we focused on the writing and on feedback. Now I feel more secure with my blogging and enjoy taking the time to do it. Thanks for bringing together such a cool community of learners!”
Iulia Istrate
“Nina’s approach is lovely, her authentic love of writing and the belief of the value in blogging, plus her knowledge of it is clear, which creates a space for people to learn some great skills. With that though, she also creates such a safe space to experiment. Her own support and coaching of the group is wonderful, and there’s a supportive and open environment that the relationship between peers in the group becomes really special and valuable.”
Paula Brockwell
“A thoroughly enjoyable six-week course. I found Nina’s expertise invaluable, her sessions brought out a passion for writing that I didn’t really know I had. Good writing should bring out the writer’s vulnerability, and Nina certainly creates a relaxed environment that helped me dig deep, overcome my insecurities, and write what I really wanted to write.”
James Glover
“I’m absolutely delighted that I took Nina’s course. Prior to joining the blogging group, I felt that my writing was competent. However, in the six weeks I have found a new confidence in my writing, and a love for the process. This isn’t just because of Nina’s expertly crafted sessions and gentle guidance, but also because of her consideration when putting together a blogging group. I felt totally supported in our group and thoroughly enjoyed talking through ideas with my peers and seeing their writing develop as the course progressed. No matter where you start from, if you commit yourself to this process you will see an improvement in your writing and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the process.”
Sam Bailey
“This is such a great course and I can’t wait to join it again this year — it’s helped me to improve my writing which is getting better visibility and engagement. Nina is a great trainer and she definitely helps you to unlock that hidden writing talent!”
