You learned to blog. You figured out WordPress, Blogger, or Typepad. You can update Twitter and Facebook with the click of a button. You learned to create graphics with PicMonkey and embed Linky Tools. You know what page views and unique visitors are. You have advertisers on your site. You have a ‘media sheet’. You may have attended at some of the hottest blogging conferences around. You might even have public relations agency pitching YOU to work with them.
You’ve hit the big time right?
Maybe.
If your goal is page views, popularity, or free swag – then YES, you are big time!
No?
Chances are you dreamed of making a living wage by blogging. Right now you have a choice. You can pursue blog sponsorships, work to become a brand ambassador, take freelance writing work or even create products to sell on your blog. Or you can do nothing.
All are viable and profitable options (except for the ‘do nothing’ option) and can have a great deal of success – if done correctly. While these ‘career paths’ are absolutely obtainable, it doesn’t come easy and it doesn’t come without help.
The other choice you have is to become a social media professional and take what you have learned blogging and offer it as a service to businesses in your own local area that need help.
Are you ready to make the jump and become a social media professional?
If you are at all interested in taking my Mom Blogger to Social Media Professional eCourse then you are looking to build a long term, sustainable career and business. By selling the expertise you have gained as a blogger to businesses that need help, you can do more than cover the cost of your blog hosting or vacations for your family.
You can earn a living.
If you are looking to supplement you household income, become the ‘bread winner’, or have the desire to build and create your own income – you may want to consider turning your passion and experience online into a business. Now that you are at the point where you can offer your services to businesses, where do you start?
Mom Blogger to Social Media Professional eCourse Overview
- 12 modules course via member site – starts when you join so you learn on your schedule (not ours)
- Detailed and targeted training materials via a PDF ebook each module
- Video webinar (recorded) each module
- Printable ‘work sheet’ each module
- Did I mention your eCourse includes free membership to my exclusive and private eCourse Alumni group on Facebook where you can network with other mom bloggers building their own businesses? (Beginning Summer 2013)
Because this is a lot of information to take in, I’ve broken the eCourse down into 12 segments. You can take whatever time you need to go through the self-paced course and revisit content whenever you need. The Mom Blogger to Social Media Professional eCourse is digitally formatted to be viewed easily on your computer screen or tablet, although I strongly suggest having a WiFi connection to watch the video webinars!
How much will it cost to make the jump?
This eCourse is designed to be affordable. It is nearly impossible to start any business today without some investment. In my ‘offline’ business, I coach professionals to get them started in their own social media consultancy – and my fees start at $6,000. If you aren’t quite ready for that level of coaching and training, my Mom Blogger to Social Media Professional eCourse is a perfect fit! So. Enough chit chat! 
Really, how much does the eCourse cost?
Price $199.00$149.00
So why am I offering this eCourse at such a discount?
Because I can! No, seriously, a lot of it has to do with the fact that I’m also a mom who blogs and runs a thriving digital media consultancy and coaching practice! My day is filled with client calls, meetings, and lots of work all while catering to the two most demanding bosses I’ve ever known – my 11 year old daughter and 5 year old son! It’s no shock that I also need to run my kids to voice lessons, baseball, Girl Scouts, pack lunches, make dinner, run to doctors appointements (and let’s not forget my poor husband!) all while running a household. My time is limited same as yours. Because of that, providing eCourses is a great way for me to help more people and still devote time to my family and friends.
So why is Lynette qualified to offer this eCourse?
For the past 15 years I - that’s me, Lynette Young – have started, founded, and operated several businesses. Some business endeavors worked out just fine and one left me in debt – even with success. My current business is deeply rewarding and profitable. Every single business taught me a valuable lesson on how to grow and support a thriving business on my own. After 14 years of self-employment and entrepreneurship and 10 years of climbing the corporate ladder, I can share that experience with you here in my eCourse.
So, what does running multiple businesses have to do with teaching you how to become a social media professional?
I started blogging in 1997. Really. I was am a geek and coded it by hand, copying and pasting my older content to an archive page so that the ‘front page’ of my online journal could be for new content. What I would have given for WordPress back then!
As far as my experience goes… I’ve consulted at Fortune 500 companies. I’ve assisted marketing and public relations agencies in getting their own ‘social media’ department up and running. I’ve worked on projects through agencies that have grown to some of the most pivotable pieces of marketing a brand has produced. I’ve coached mom bloggers into becoming social media professionals and earning income to help replace their husband’s income after a layoff. I have spoken at nearly 100 conferences and run dozens of training seminars. I host a weekly digital media video show viewed by thousands. I wrote a book titled “Google+ for Small Businesses” (Publisher: Pearson / Que Biz Tech).
And I still blog … 16 years later.
Did I mention I have almost 1,000 connections on LinkedIn, almost 2,000 friends and subscribers on Facebook, over 14,000 followers on Twitter, and over 1.5 million followers on Google+? (Note: As I will teach you, ‘numbers’ don’t mean anything and they certainly don’t equal success. I’m sharing the size of my social graph here just to demonstrate that I’ve been at this a loooooong time.)

(Right now I have at least 12 more eCourses in development - Google+, Pinterest, Facebook Pages, Twitter, WordPress, email marketing, podcasting, web video and many more!)
Just so you now what type of training you will receive, here’s the Overview Video for Module 1.0

Ready to get started?
First thing first – sign up below to enroll in my eCourse! After registering, you will receive a questionnaire from me for you to fill out before the course starts. Your answers are for your eyes only, but you will be referring to the sheet during the next 12 weeks. My suggestion is to find a 3-ring binder or make a dedicated folder on your computer (no paper – go green!) to keep your materials.
Lets get started! I’m excited to have you in the eCourse!
Not convinced?
It is a lot to take in and consider. I mean, it’s not every day that you decide to launch your own professional business! So noodle on it a bit. Talk it over with friends or family – just know that they only want the very best for you and will do their best to protect you from risk. So I will make you this offer. If after receiving the first training week (Week 1) you feel that making the jump into becoming a social media professional isn’t for you, email me and I will refund your money*. The last thing I want is for you to feel locked into my eCourse when you aren’t ready to make real money as a social media professional.
