What if...
you could have the freedom-filled lifestyle you always dreamed of?
It's time to start building that blog you've been putting off.
Is this you?
You've wanted to start a business that gives you freedom... but something has been holding you back.
Have you been putting off starting a blog? Telling yourself that "someday" you'll launch that passive income stream and achieve the freedom you've been craving? But "someday" never comes?
Maybe you're afraid of failing, aren't sure if you have the time, or aren't quite sure what to write about.
OR maybe you launched your blog, wrote your little heart out, and...crickets. No one read it.
I've been there!
When I first started blogging about my travels in 2016 I had NO idea how to build an audience or make money.
TBH, I didn't even know what SEO was....
Needless to say, I didn't get results and I let that first travel blog die pretty quickly.
In 2020, I decided to give the whole blogging thing another try. I spent months researching, testing, and learning everything I could about growing a blog.
And it worked! Within just three months I made my first $500 from my blog.
Now, just 2.5 years later, I've been able to scale my blogs to 5-figure months without using social media, brand collaborations, or selling digital products.
HERE'S WHAT BLOGGING CAN DO FOR YOU:
Allows you to earn online income on your own terms. No more meetings, annoying emails, or unpaid invoices.
1
Gives you the ability to monetize your passions. Yes, you CAN make money writing about the things you love.
2
Lets you take control over your audience. No more relying on social media algorithms to reach people.

"I decided I wanted to start a blog in January but was completely overwhelmed with where to begin! I loved the way everything in BFA was broken down into sections and even helped you set up your blog step by step. It was an extremely overwhelming process for me trying to figure it out on my own because there’s so much I just didn’t know about. Leah taught me so much about keywords, how to properly write a blog post, how to use Wordpress, I could go on and on!"
-Kelly
You may be wondering
"can you really make money blogging in 2023? Do people even read blogs anymore??"
I'm going to tell you a secret... EVERYONE still reads blogs, even if they don't realize it!
The type of blogs where you're just writing a diary of everything you do in a day?? Yeah, those may have gone away.
But we're not going to be writing those blogs.
The blog posts we write in Blogging Freedom Academy are helpful AF, optimized for search engines, and filled with engaging content to keep readers on our sites longer.
Every single time you search for something on Google, you're getting blog posts in your search results. You may have even read from a blog today without knowing it!
Take it from someone who gets thousands of viewers on their blogs every day - blogs are still alive and well!
Tumblr, who?? Our blogs are full-on content sites and they're making serious money.
IN BLOGGING FREEDOM ACADEMY
YOU WILL LEARN:
MODULE 01
BLOGGING FOUNDATIONS
Before you even open up Wordpress for the first time, you need to know the basics of what will make you a successful blogger.
In Module 1 we're going to go over all of the foundational knowledge you'll need to set yourself up for success from day one.
We'll talk about how to develop a pro blogger mindset, blogging terminology you should know, and the tools and resources that you'll need.
I'll also tell you the ONE piece of advice you need to know that will set you apart from 90% of other bloggers.
MODULE 02
GETTING YOUR BLOG SET UP
Now that we have the right mindset to be professional bloggers, it's time to get set up.
In Module 2 we'll be setting our blog up from start to finish.
This includes choosing a profitable blog niche, naming your blog, choosing a blog theme, and designing your site's logo and branding.
We'll also be setting up our blog's about page and categories, so that we're ready to start publishing blog posts!
MODULE 03
KEYWORD RESEARCH
Now that your blog is all set up, it's time to start planning your blog posts.
And every pro blogger knows that a good blog post always centers around keywords!
Module 3 is ALL things keywords - what they are, my free and advanced strategies for finding and analyzing keywords, and how to organize your keywords for SEO.
No more spending hours writing about topics that you won't actually rank for in Google!
These keyword research methods will give you the best chance at ranking your blog posts in Google and driving serious traffic to your site!

We'll also go over where to source beautiful images for your blog posts.
MODULE 05
ALL THINGS BLOG TRAFFIC
Keyword research is our main method for bringing in traffic to our blog. But there are other things we can do to maximize our traffic and make sure it keeps flowing in month after month.
In Module 5, we'll go over my methods for getting steady, consistent blog traffic (hint- it's not by promoting your blog's posts on social media!)
We'll also talk about tracking your analytics and search positions and updating old blog posts so you can keep on bringing in traffic long-term.
MODULE 06
HOW TO MONETIZE YOUR BLOG
Let's talk about money, baby!
Module 6 is all about my favorite methods for making money with a blog. And because we're all about freedom here, these methods are almost completely passive!
AKA - get ready to make money while you sleep (and travel!)
We'll also touch on how to make sure your blog is legal, how to optimize your blog posts for maximum revenue, and some other (less passive) revenue streams that you can use to diversify your income.

Your Teacher
Hi, I'm Leah and I'm the creator of Blogging Freedom Academy. I run a travel blog called By Leah Claire, as well as two other profitable lifestyle blogs.
After spending months trying to find the best methods to grow a blog, I realized that the information out there was severely lacking.
Most of the blogging courses on the market were created by bloggers who started their blogs almost a decade ago.
OR they were created by bloggers who have only ever made money by selling blogging-related products *facepalm*.
After sifting through a lot of bullsh*t, I was able to piece together my own method for growing a blog.
And it worked! I've been able to grow three profitable blogs and scale my blogging portfolio to 5 figures in monthly income.
And I want the same for you! I created this course to share my exact methods for starting and growing a blog with SEO!
Is Blogging Freedom Academy Right For You?
Not every course is right for every person - and that's totally fine! Here's how you'll know if BFA will be a good fit for you.
this is for you if...
You want to build passive income streams. With the methods in this course, once you hit publish your blog posts have the potential to bring in income while you sleep
You want to start a business but you're on a budget. Blogging is one of the most inexpensive businesses to start.
You enjoy writing. Blogging obviously involves a ton of writing, so it may not be the path for you if you despise sitting in front of your keyboard!
this is not for you if...
You get shiny object syndrome. It can be tempting to always jump on the next big thing, but blogging takes time and consistency.
You're already a pro-level blogger making 5 figures per month. This course is aimed towards beginner and intermediate bloggers.
You're looking for a "get rich quick" scheme. Blogging is a marathon, not a sprint.
"I've always loved writing and always had an interest in starting a blog, but I didn't know anything about it or even that you could still make money off of it. I love so many things about Blogging Freedom Academy. The videos are short but concise - there's no fluff. Everything you need to succeed is written out for you step-by-step."

FAQ
WHO IS BFA FOR? Blogging Freedom Academy is designed for beginner and intermediate bloggers. Whether you're a total newbie with no idea where to start, or you've already got your blog set up but you're not seeing the results you want, BFA is for you!
WHAT BLOGGING PLATFORMS WILL WE USE? I'll be teaching you how to set up your blog using Wordpress and a hosting service. I ONLY recommend self-hosted sites for bloggers who are serious about growing and making money.
WILL I NEED TO SPEND MORE MONEY? You will need to spend money on a blog host in order to get your site up and running. This can be done for as little as $3 per month. I also recommend a few optional paid keyword research tools that range in price from $10 to $49. These are totally optional, though!
WILL I HAVE ONE-ON-ONE INTERACTION WITH LEAH? No, BFA is a pre-recorded video course. However, you will be able to ask questions and get support in the BFA Facebook group.
I'M NOT A TRAVEL BLOGGER. WILL THIS COURSE STILL APPLY TO ME? Yes, 100%! In fact, my most profitable blog isn't even in the travel niche. These methods will apply for bloggers in all industries.
DO I HAVE LIFETIME ACCESS? Yes! You can work through BFA at your own pace, and return to it as often as you like. You will also have access to any updates at no extra cost.
WILL I BE ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE CONTENT QUICKLY? I'M SUPER BUSY. I don't want it to take you months to figure out (or years like it took me!) this whole blogging thing. I've tried to keep the course content as condensed as possible, while still providing all of the information you need. You can go at your own pace, but most people should be able to get through BFA in a few days!
