Blogging Workshops etc

From time to time I conduct workshops or talks on various aspects of writing, blogging, working from home, starting a business, and the like.

As I am based in the Redlands, these are usually held nearby for example in Brisbane or south-east Queensland.

• Blogging for Money 

Can you make money from blogging? The answer is YES!

It can be a fun hobby that actually generates a bit of pocket money (instead of costing you a fortune!) – or even become a full time job.

For example, in 2014 I used my blog earnings to pay for a week long cruise of the South Pacific; today I am a full time blogger, making my living not just from my own blog, Middle Aged Mama, but also working for other businesses. (I even won the title of Redland Woman in Business for 2016!)

Discover the possibilities of blogging for money at this fun workshop – whether you already have a blog, or are thinking about starting one.
