How to Be Everywhere: 6 Premium Courses to Help You Grow Your Online Audience
Fellow Riskologist,
tl;dr: The best package deal on education for bloggers growing an online audience I’ve ever seen (and it takes a lot to impress me) is on sale now for just 72 hours. Check it out.
***
As with everything to be learned in the universe: You can figure it out yourself, or you can pay someone to teach it to you.
A smart Riskologist knows to be wary anytime she hears, “You can’t learn this anywhere else!” The school of hard knocks will always deliver results … in time.
For some things, the slow and steady struggle of self-education is best. Other times, it’s prudent to pay to get where you want to go faster.
It’s a dollars and sense equation, really. If the cost of education is less than what it will deliver back to you in a reasonable time frame, then it’s a wise investment.
When I started Riskology.co, I’d been writing for a year—learning everything as I went and, unfortunately, getting nowhere fast.
So, when I started this site, I decided to invest several thousand dollars in learning how to run a blog and turn it into the engine for a business. Three years later, I’m pretty happy I did because it’s been returned to me many times over.
If you’re a blogger working to grow your audience and expand your influence, I’d urge you to check out the sale happening now:
For the next 72 hours, six comprehensive courses—from the most respected and successful people in their niches—are bundled into one package for $197.

I’m actually impressed enough with this package I’m buying a copy for myself.
This is not your everyday sale. It’s a little more expensive than others I’ve showcased and comes with fewer “things.” But keep reading and you’ll see why this is actually good.
Standard Disclaimer: I’m an affiliate for this sale. That means purchasing via a link on this page helps support Riskology.co. I’ll be donating $10 from each sale to Outside In, a non-profit here in Portland helping homeless and at risk youth get back on their feet.
Your Time is Worth More Than Your Money
I’ll admit I’m a bit of a sucker for quantity; When I spend my hard-earned money on something, I like to know I’m getting a lot of “stuff.”
But over time, as I’ve gotten busier and busier, I’ve had to learn to suppress that desire because it wasn’t actually helping me. I don’t have time or energy in my life for lots of stuff anymore. I have time for a few very valuable things, and that’s it.
When Adam (one of the creators of this sale) emailed to tell me the direction they were headed—less quantity, more quality—I actually breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past, when I’ve promoted a sale like this, I had to do a lot of work to figure out exactly how a smart Riskologist could put it to use: “Okay, here are the six valuable things in this pile of stuff that make this a great deal. Discard the rest.”
I don’t have to do that this time because there are only six courses on offer, each one is the best in its industry, and they all complement each other gracefully.
Here’s what’s included in the package…
Breakthrough Blogging by Pat Flynn
Pat is as sharp and as genuine as it gets when it comes to blogging, and he routinely earns more in a month than I did the entire first year running Riskology.co. Breakthrough Blogging is for the blogger who’s started writing, but has hit a plateau and isn’t getting the results they hoped for.
The course covers blog growth strategies, productivity hacks, overcoming mental challenges, developing blogging skills/knowledge, and honing your “people skills.”
Breakthrough Blogging is community based, so you’ll get to learn alongside others with the same growth goals—very motivating.
How to Connect with Anyone by Scott Dinsmore
I know Scott well. When we first met, he had 1,000 subscribers and he was asking me what to do to grow his blog. I don’t know how much I helped, but he figured it out because now he writes for more than 40,000 readers.
What he learned is that it’s all about building meaningful relationships with influential people, and Scott is incredibly good at it. Unlike most people with talent, though, he’s just as good at teaching as he is at doing. His How to Connect With Anyone course was built to show you how to build deep and meaningful relationships that will propel your blog, your career, and your life in general.
This course goes together perfectly with Pat’s course above.
Better Web Videos by Stillmotion Studio
You’re simply never going to reach as many people as you can who will become raving fans if you don’t create videos—and good ones at that (something I, myself, am painfully aware of).
Stillmotion is an Emmy-award winning studio (no joke!) based here in Portland that also specializes in training bloggers, authors, and speakers how to create incredibly engaging videos with simple production set ups (like how to shoot an awesome video with your iPhone). Their course will teach you that along with a number of techniques to create amazing web videos without buying a bunch of overpriced equipment.
These guys are good. I play basketball with them about once a week. They may be superhumans because they’re pretty good at that, too.
Rapid Video Blogging by Gideon Shalwick
This course and Better Web Videos above are a perfect match. In one (BWV), you’ll learn how to create amazing videos and in Rapid Video Blogging you’ll learn how to use them to build your brand, grow your audience, and create viral campaigns that bring in huge numbers of subscribers all at once.
Getting better at creating viral content is something I’m trying to learn. I’m good at creating solid, lasting content, but there are still things I could learn about making the articles, videos, and interviews I create spread to a wider audience.
That’s another reason I’m buying this package. I’ve accidentally had a few things go viral before, and I can say it’s something I would like to have happen more often!
Publish Your Book on Kindle by Cathy Presland
One route many bloggers eventually take to expand their audience and gain credibility is publishing a book. With the traditional publishing industry, that used to be hard. Now, with the rise of self-publishing, it’s easy.
But, you still have to know what to write, how to write it, and how to market it. Writing a book is a lot of work, so it pays to do it right!
In the self-publishing world, Kindle is king, and Cathy is Queen of Kindle publishing.
Her course—Publish Your Book on Kindle—is one of the top courses (in any niche) on udemy.com. This is a proven resource.
Expert Podcasting Resources by Cliff Ravenscraft
I am not a podcaster, but I often wish I were (another reason I’m buying this package myself). In the world of podcasting there is Cliff Ravenscraft, and then there is … everyone else. Cliff is synonymous with podcasting. Cliff = podcasting.
He’s published a number of guides and courses for creating and growing a successful podcast. Here’s what you’ll get from Cliff in this package:
- Before You Record Your First Episode – Includes audio and PDF content and has only been available to Cliff’s Podcasting A-Z clients.
- WordPress for Podcasters – Walks you through everything you need to do with your blog to host your podcast’s feed.
- Equipment Options for Every Budget – Regardless your budget, Cliff walks you through every option to consider when it comes to getting the right equipment to do the best job possible.
- Mixer Basics – Walks you through everything you need to know about a mixer: how to use it, what each dial/knob/button does, and how to set it up.
- Podcaster’s Guide to Recording: Co-Hosts, Guests and Telephone Interviews – Explains the importance of each, how to properly use them in your show, and the sound quality that’s acceptable for each.
- Passive Income for Podcasters – Strategies and tactics for earning a passive income from your podcast.
For once, I’m just as excited to let you know about a sale as I am to take part in it. If you’re ready to invest in your education and get the best resources available for growing your audience online, I hope you’ll join me.
–>Check out the sale and pick up your copy of the course bundle.
The sale ends on Thursday at 9:00 AM Pacific and this bundle will never be offered again.
All the best,
