Thank you LadyBossBlogger and Elaine Rau for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own.
I began my blogging journey seven years ago. What started as a fun hobby gradually transformed into a keen passion. That passion ignited a desire for a career in writing.
I moved my blog from a free blogging site to a paid one. And I considered monetizing it. My big WHY, to earn a living working remotely from anywhere in the world and enjoy doing it, motivated me.
Eighteen months ago, I took my blogging down the path of monetization. Everything in my life shifted, in positive and exciting ways. There’s no stopping the momentum now, nor do I want to.
In fact, I’m ready to go next level blogging with LadyBossBlogger and explore making more money as an influencer. In particular, through this amazing online course, I’m learning how to better create content on Instagram and connect with my audience there.
LadyBossBlogger Origins
Elaine Rau is the lady boss behind LadyBossBlogger. After launching a successful blog for female entrepreneurs, that quickly garnered more than 200,000 followers, Elaine created her own unique brand. She began teaching others how to make money as bloggers, influencers, and entrepreneurs through her online classes at LadyBossBloggerCourses.com.
How to Make Money as an Influencer
One thing that I learned quickly last year, as I expanded my blogging knowledge and abilities, is the importance of social media.
While Google plays a crucial role in driving traffic to a blog, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram provide a highly visible place to promote and market the blog.
I’ve worked very diligently providing great content and connecting with my audience and with brands I love. As growth occurs on those social media platforms, growth follows on the blog. And, opportunities arrive.
One such opportunity came through LadyBossBlogger and the online course, How to Make Money as an Instagram Influencer. I’m thrilled to experience this course and learn new techniques for expanding my reach.
I am so excited that I’m sharing what I’ve learned thus far in this sneak peek post and offering an amazing giveaway, in partnership with LadyBossBlogger. See the details at the end of the post.
What’s in the Make Money as an Instagram Influencer Course?
The course is divided into nine modules with multiple lessons in each:
- Introduction – course overview and expectations
- Branding – all about creating a personal brand on Instagram
- Content – the foundation of an Instagram post, great content
- Pitching – creating the perfect pitch to brands
- Brands – how to find brands to work with
- Money – creating income as an influencer
- Legal – all you need to know about the legal side of blogging and influencing
- Conclusion – becoming an affiliate
- Bonus – there are 12 INCREDIBLE exclusive bonuses at the end of the course, including checklists and how-to’s.
The lessons are well designed with high-quality content that is easy to understand. The modules build on each other, so that you can implement what you learn as you go.
What I’m Learning Through LadyBossBlogger
I’m loving this course. I’ve completed 25% of the material and I’m learning valuable tools for improving my Instagram account.
In the Branding Module, I am discovering how to better build my own personal brand, and why that matters. Part of that is creating an Instagram feed that beautifully represents who I am, what I do and what I offer to others.
I’m taking lots of notes as a way to highlight areas I intend to improve on or change. Information in the lesson “Costly Mistakes Everyone Makes with Their Bio” helped me to create a bio that tells more about what I offer to others.
I appreciate the wealth of information, tips and suggestions in this course. I’m serious about my blogging and committed to investing in myself.
After I complete the entire course, I’ll write another post. I’m excited to share more insights and results from implementing what I’m learning.

Invest in Yourself and Your Business
For years into my blogging journey, I traveled alone. As best I could, I figured things out for myself and built my blog and readership step by slow step.
Don’t do that. There’s no reason to. It’s not noble… it’s time-consuming and mistakes get made.
The best thing I ever did for my blogging business was to invest in it by learning from others. Classes not only brought info and awareness, but they also introduced me to other amazing bloggers, who now journey alongside me.
Is it time for you to invest in yourself and your business?
Are you ready to go next level blogging with LadyBossBlogger?
You won’t regret such a powerful commitment to your blogging… and influencing… future.
