Elite Blog Academy 2 Years Later: The Long Term Results

I created this blog in October of 2012. I started it to document my financial progress but also had hopes that this blog could pull in an income at some point.

My first two years of blogging were slow going. I’d earn a few hundred dollars per month from the blog but the majority of my income came from freelancing.

There were a few things that I just COULD NOT figure out. And while I was frustrated that my blog hopes hadn’t worked I stuck with it because I enjoyed it.

Then, in 2014 Ruth Soukup started Elite Blog Academy. I’ve always thought Ruth was amazing and knew she did BIG things. Even though I wasn’t earning much at the time I enrolled myself in the very first Elite Blog Academy course.

Now a little over two years later I want to share my results with you.

What 2 Years of EBA Did for Me

As a refresher when I enrolled in EBA I was earning about $2,500 per month on a consistent basis. Around $1,800 that came from freelance writing and virtual assistant work while around $700 came from this blog.

My pageviews were around 35k per month:

Here are the other stats From September 2014:

• Monthly Pageviews: 36,526
• Facebook Followers: Approx. 600
• Pinterest Followers: Approx. 100
• Total Blogging Income: $704.64

Social media was my biggest enemy two years ago. I was clueless as to what to do. When I enrolled in EBA I took Ruth’s advice to heart and I applied ALL. OF. IT.

My social media followings grew, my newsletter subscriptions grew, my pageviews exploded and my income grew as well!

Here are some current stats:

• Monthly Pageviews: 279,303
• Facebook Followers: 9,320
• Pinterest Followers: 32,446
• Total Blogging Income (December): $7,372.31
• Total Blogging Income (November): $5,408.59

In two years my blogging income and traffic grew around 9-fold. Pretty crazy.

Who Elite Blog Academy is For

I’m definitely not the only person who is super grateful for Elite Blog Academy. There have been many success stories. With that said I do not think this course works for everyone.

This course is not magic. It only works if you do the work. I seriously (no lie) followed ALL of the steps in EBA. I applied every single module to my blog in whichever ways I deemed appropriate. While I did have some quick results – especially with social media and pageviews – I worked for those results.

I’m at a point now that I don’t have to do as much if I don’t want to. But when I feel like growing my income I can dig back through the course material and start applying some more of the things I’ve learned.

EBA is for you if:

• You’re a blogger
• You need a step-by-step blueprint
• You are willing to work hard to get results
