Student Testimonials
Here are what previous students of Blogging Your Way have to say about their class experience:
“Holly (and her teachers) are very knowledgeable, supportive and have all the advice you need to help you get there. Not only did I truly enjoy all their lessons, but I even discovered interests I didn’t know I had and am really starting to have fun with my blog!” - Jeanne Chan.
“The class was phenomenal. Rarely does a class far exceed my expectations so much. In a very short period of time, I learned loads about many aspects of blogging. The most valuable thing, which was totally unexpected, was the advice to step back and really think about what we’re doing, why we’re doing it and where we want to go with it… That really helped me to focus and prioritize my time and energy. My advice to anyone even remotely thinking about starting a blog would be that you can’t afford to NOT take this class. It is incredible value for money, you will personally gain so much from it, and the resulting benefits to your blog and readership are immeasurable.” – Kristin Dennewill, Spain.
“Not only did I acquire the know-how of the blogging world, BYW reminded me how to live creatively through my blog. Holly (and her teachers) are the loveliest examples of kindness, sincerity and creativity. With such an inspiring duo teaching the ins and outs of blogging, they lead and teach by example which at times, seems more powerful than the material itself. BYW is a must!” – Jennie Prince.
“Blogging Your Way is much more than a how-to about blogging… There give tons of ideas, tips, guidance and knowledge and their creativity and enthusiasm for blogging beautifully is inspiring. They lead you through thinking about who you are, what you can bring to blogging and what you can get out of it that make this course unique and so very helpful. They help you to ask and answer tough questions so you can figure out exactly where you want your blog to go, and feel the confidence to choose your path and follow it boldly. And they make it all such fun along the way. The course site is fantastic and the forum a buzzing place to ask and answer questions. Blogging Your Way is a must-do, empowering and inspiring.” – Solange Whyman.
“When enrolling on the BYW course, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’d never done an online course before so I was very skeptical. But I said to myself – even if I only learn one thing, it will have been worth it. Well, four weeks later and I am enthused to say the least! I can hand-on-heart say that I’ll be taking with me not one but dozens of valuable hints, tips, suggestions etc., not only about blogging, photography and styling but also about life in general. The course represents fantastic value for money; the tutorials are super rich in content with loads of practical advice and the teachers spend hours in the forum replying to students’ questions. I think what probably distinguishes this course is the sheer enthusiasm of the teachers. The way this course is taught literally makes you want to run off and implement everything there and then. Holly’s excitement, optimism and determination is such that it is almost contagious. It is seriously hard to not get excited, inspired and actively involved! All classes are taught in a friendly, colloquial way so although the class is large, it feels as if you are being taught one-on-one.” – Katie, England
“I expected a course with some tips and tricks… What I got was a GREAT LESSON of business and life!” - Di Dolores Wally, Austria.
“Had this been a movie – it would have been a BLOCKBUSTER! Had this been a book – it would have been a BESTSELLER! So much good has come from taking BYW… The wealth of this course not only revolved around blogging with the incredible experience and wisdom Holly shared, or the tips and skill that Leslie added or the support and backbone Thorsten provided… But it was a personal journey for each new, or old, blogger on the block to delve deep into why we blog, who we are, what we should and could and it challenged each of us to stay focused, stay positive and most of all to ENJOY! Holly and her teachers are a team I would put my money on again any day.” – Ilze Oosthuizen, South Korea.
“Completely and utterly fantastic instructors. This e-class was so well thought out and explained. Very inspiring too! This course was more than I had expected, and it’s not just technical knowledge I’ve learnt but what I really appreciated most is the motivation and inspiration that you have given me. I feel like a brave blogger now that I know the guidelines of the blogging world. I can’t believe how wonderful blogging is once you know the inside secrets. I would have never discovered any of this on my own – like everyone else, I always thought it was difficult. Well, it isn’t – thanks to BYW! I had high expectations but you surpassed them all. I loved every minute of this course!” - Christina Greve, Denmark.
“Taking this class gave me fantastic ideas and the courage to start to share my thoughts and life with others. I have already increased my followers (after taking this class) so it tells me that someone out there is interested in what I have to say and I can thank the course for helping me find my voice. Thank you so much for offering such a wealth of information and allowing your students such a great way to connect with other very talented people. I loved it and would highly recommend taking the e-course! ” – Lindy Harnarain, USA.
“As a brand new blogger, I signed up for the BYW e-course with some hesitation. This e-course was so much more than I had anticipated. I simply can not say enough about the quality and caliber of information provided and the overall positive tone of encouragement and support . Fear that the blogging world was a closed, tight knit community that I’d never be a part of, fear that I had nothing new or unique to say that hadn’t already been said a million times over, fear that I’d run out of things to say, fear that I wasn’t an established source in the design industry, fear really held me back before this class! Throughout BYW, all of those fears were calmed and replaced with a renewed sense of optimism and realism. All of the resources (in this e-course) would have taken me years to figure out and find on my own. BYW was the healthy does of inspiration, motivation and practical, actionable advice that I needed to fully spread my blogging wings and take off!” – Krista Nye Schwartz, USA.
“I can’t tell you how valuable the Blogging Your Way class has been for me. There was so much information that I was often reeling with a severe case of sensory overload (in a good way). I discovered during the course that I was writing a blog about something I’m not actually passionate about. I think this is the main thing I got out of the class – “blog about your passion”. Thanks to the three of you for creating such a beautiful, informative, and inspiring class.” – Nancy Javier, USA.
“Your course gave me all the information I needed to do it (blog) right and be successful. You gave me the tools to take what I wanted to do and make it reality.” - Joellyn Clark, USA.
“What I absolutely adored was the simple way that Holly and Leslie re-focused my ideals and my creative purposes. They shared hundreds of tips for continued blog growth, but even more than that they taught in a way that brought a new found life to my passion and purpose for blogging.” – Vicky Hudgins, USA.
“Blogging Your Way is filled with inspirations and elements of motivation for you to better your blog as well as yourself as a person. How often do we have a chance to learn a lesson from someone as successful and talented as Holly and her teachers? This e-course opened up my mind and way of thinking not only for blogging, but for who I want to be and what I want to achieve. It taught me the core of blogging in a sense that it forced me to face myself, which guided me to learn about myself deep inside to find out what I really want to achieve from my blog. The words and lessons Holly and Leslie give out in the class carry wisdom and methods to acquire necessary techniques to improve your blog. Not only do you benefit from the valuable lessons from them, you get to network with other fabulous and talented fellow bloggers who have the same ambition and goal to be a successful blogger as you do. The opportunity to interact with other bloggers and get to know them is as valuable as the skills you can learn from the class and I love the sense of belonging to a group. I hope to remain in contact with those whom I met through BYW!” - Kahori Roskamp, Indonesia.
“This e-course exceeded even my highest expectation. The material is both rich in content and incredibly inspiring in a comfortable, cozy and approachable learning environment. This course has been some of the most educational and uplifting weeks to date, and the friends I’ve made here along with the material I’ve gathered will no doubt be referred to and referenced for years and years to come.” – Bonnie Forkner, USA.
“Thank you for your lovely e-course. It helped me stretch from my comfort zone, carried by the energy of the group, it helped me to open up while feeling secure. The course was carried out with professionalism, kindness, beauty and encouraged us to look deeper.” – Nathalie, France.
“I want to express my genuine gratitude for such an amazing experience. Blogging Your Way exceeded all my expectations on many different levels; from the well organized format and incredibly relevant content, to the extremely generous sharing spirit. In addition, I really appreciated Leslie and Thorsten’s expert contributions as well, it was the icing on the cake! And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the amazing people I have met in this class – more icing! I would encourage anyone who is just starting out in the world of blogging, or maybe questioning who they are as a blogger, to sign up for your class! You will not be disappointed! – Renee Rodriguez, USA.
“Let’s just say I was a blind blogger before Holly and Leslie made me see the light during their super informative lessons!” – Steffi Luxat, Germany.
“This class was by-far one of the most valuable tools I have discovered to date for blogging. Holly is masterfully organized and has put so much thought into each aspect of the class, from the podcasts to her co-teachers, group projects and even the beautiful images she throws in for that added punch. She definitely over-delivered. Throwing Thorsten in the mix for tech support was like the icing on the cake. After each week I had new tools to put to use and I’m so proud of how my little blog has evolved so quickly thanks to Holly and her team. The sweetest surprise was getting to meet so many like-minded and talented people in this little online community. I made several new friends and have plans for collaborations with fellow BYW’ers in the future. Thanks millions.” – Katie Stephenson, USA.
