A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN FOR MAKING A LIVING ONLINE
“When I first started Elite Blog Academy, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was determined. I followed every single step of the program exactly as written. It took me 9 months to complete, but exactly one year after starting EBA, I was blogging full time and made $5,000 in one month alone. Two years later, I was earning $35,000 a month, and it has only gone up from there. Having taken many expensive online classes, I’m able to tell you that EBA® is the best! Ruth lays out step-by-step exactly what you need to do so that when you’ve completed it, you understand how to make a living from your blog.”

MORE EBA SUCCESS STORIES
MY SUCCESS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
"What Elite Blog Academy did for me was set the foundation for success. Using the tips and tools I learned from EBA, I was able to bring thousands of people to Run The Money each month and made $10,000 between December 2017 and January 2018. That's less than a year into starting the class. I've started other blogs and side hustles before, but I never followed a process to achieve success. EBA is that process -- and my success speaks for itself."
— David Domzalski, Run the Money
HEY THERE, I'M RUTH!
AND I'D REALLY LOVE TO BE YOUR FAIRY BLOG-MAMA....
Since launching my first blog, Living Well Spending Less, in 2010, my business has grown into a multi-million dollar company. I’ve become the New York Times bestselling author of 6 books, launched a top-rated podcast, and even given a TED talk.
But it didn’t start out that way!
When I first started, I struggled hard trying to figure it all out. There were SO many times I felt like quitting, and I can’t even tell you how often I secretly wished for some magical fairy blog-mama to share all her secrets of success. Sadly, she never appeared, but I swore to myself that if I ever did figure out the secret to blogging, I’d be that fairy blog-mama to someone else!
And that’s exactly what Elite Blog Academy is all about.
No, it’s not a magic wand, but it IS probably the next best thing: a clearly laid out, step-by-step guide that will show you, in crystal clear detail, exactly what to do.
It’s the secret blueprint for success you’ve been waiting for.
I DOUBLED MY TRAFFIC
"Since 2014, I've gone through the course three times. Every single time, I learn something new. Ruth's teaching has proven correct through the years. Her wisdom isn't based on the latest algorithm or fad but tried and true methods that withstand the test of time. Even after the first few lessons, I doubled the traffic on my blog. Since enrolling, my blog is more focused, more beautiful and more useful to my readers. Thank you, Ruth!"
— Elaine Mingus, Radical Christian Woman
FROM A TEACHER WHO'S BEEN THERE
Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of expert advice available and wished someone could just show you, step by step, exactly what it takes to grow a successful, profitable online business?
Believe me, I get it. I have totally been there, and I know exactly how it feels.
JUST A STAY-AT-HOME MOM OF TWO TODDLERS
When I first started blogging, I was completely clueless. I was a stay-at-home mom of two little girls, and truth be told, I was going a little bit stir-crazy. I decided to start a blog about trying to live well on a budget, which was something I was really struggling with. The purpose of the blog at first was simply to hold myself accountable—I never dreamed that people would actually read it.
But almost right away, I discovered that there was this whole other world of blogs and bloggers and blogging, and that people were actually making money online. I knew I had found my people, and I wanted to be a part of it, and I soon set a goal to make enough money blogging that my husband could quit his job, even though it seemed completely crazy.
NOT AN EXPERT IN ANYTHING
At first it was hard and completely overwhelming to find my voice, and even to just figure out what to write about. Add to that the logistics of trying to grow an audience and somehow get paid for my time, and I was struggling. After all, I didn’t feel like I really had anything original to say. I was just a mom of two little girls. I certainly wasn’t an expert in anything, (much less saving money!).
I saw all these bloggers around me who had been doing it for so much longer. From the outside, it seemed like they knew exactly what they were doing. It felt like I was so far behind them that I’d never “catch up,” while offline none of my real-life friends understood either. Even my husband questioned what in the world I was doing. Truth be told, I think he thought I was completely nuts!
DETERMINED TO FIND MY WAY
But I knew that if other people were making money online, then it was actually possible, and that I could do it too. And so, despite the fact that I didn’t really know what I was doing, I was determined to make it work. I began learning everything I could about growing my traffic and creating a successful blog, and I started to gain a little more confidence as my efforts slowly began to pay off.
In a moment of frustration, I also swore to myself that if I could figure out how it’s done, I would try to help as many people as I could.
MAKING AN IMPACT
Ten years later, my business reaches more than a million subscribers and generates a 7-figure income. But more importantly, my message is resonating with people and it’s helping them live a better life. So now, the more I share, the more impact I’m able to have.
Every day I receive emails from readers whose lives have been impacted by words I’ve shared, and that's pretty amazing.
NOT THE END OF THE STORY
But this story doesn’t stop with me, because I want the same for you. No matter what your message is, I will show you how to reach your tribe and effortlessly draw them in. I’ll show you how to turn that loyal following into a full-time income and I’ll show you how you can do it by focusing on a few key activities that will make all the difference. This is the exact plan I continue to follow to this day. And it is the plan I lay out in detail at Elite Blog Academy.
NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS
"I was blogging for 6 years before I started EBA, and I went through every single module and got something from all of them, even the ones where I thought I knew a lot about that specific topic. It is a great guide for anyone who wants to go from being just a blogger to having a blogging business."
— Jasmine Watts, Miss Millennia Magazine
A PROVEN BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS
Over seven years and 11,000+ students, we’ve learned what really works....and what doesn't. Our powerful, game-changing framework is designed to get you the massive results you are looking for, in less time, with far less frustration than if you tried to do it on your own.
Here’s a look at how our course is structured:
REFINE
The first phase of creating a successful, profitable blog is to refine your message--not just what you say, but how you want your readers to feel when they come to your site. Elite Blog Academy will show you exactly how to refine this message of yours, to hone and craft it and perfect it until it is part of you, and until every single person who comes across your blog can tell at a glance what you are all about. More importantly, they'll know what they have to gain by being there.
For experienced bloggers, this will immediately allow you to forge a deeper connection with your audience, and begin cultivating a real tribe of raving fans.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 1:
Nailing down your blog structure & tagline.
Creating your customer avatar.
Learning how to write with F.O.C.U.S.
Designing the perfect website to showcase your brand.
GROW
The second phase in our EBA framework is to grow your audience. Finding people to actually read your blog can sometimes feel like a daunting prospect, but it doesn’t have to be. From list-building and SEO to viral growth using social media, at Elite Blog Academy we’ll provide you with an armory of proven, detailed strategies for how to get your message heard and shared. You’ll never feel unsure of how to get more traffic again.
If you've already been blogging for a while, this module will especially help you hone in on the importance of (and secrets for) growing your email list.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 2:
Crafting your elevator pitch in order to convey your message clearly & succinctly.
Optimizing your stellar content for maximum search results on Google and Pinterest.
Creating your first lead magnet and autoresponder campaign.
Learning how to grow your email list quickly and easily.
Developing a cohesive & effective social media strategy.
MONETIZE
The third phase in our EBA framework is to monetize your platform. This is where the rubber meets the road and where blogging starts to get really fun, because it is where all the hard work you have put in starts to really pay off and multiply. But believe it or not, not all income streams are created equal, and at Elite Blog Academy you’ll learn exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your bottom line and skyrocket your profits.
For experienced bloggers, this module is where you will see a dramatic boost in revenue as you begin to hone in on ROI and more effective and advanced monetization techniques.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 3:
Nailing down your monetization strategy in order to begin generating a steady income from your online platform.
Developing your first real product.
Planning and executing a “Baby Seed Launch” to introduce your new product to your audience.
Mastering the art of sales & marketing, from writing sales copy to building a sales page and so much more.
BUILD
The fourth and final phase of creating a successful, profitable blog is to build your business. This is the point where you realize that you are not just a blogger, but an entrepreneur, and this is also the point at which you can really take off and begin to find massive success. Elite Blog Academy will show you how to work smarter, not harder, and how to build momentum that keeps you going long after you’ve completed your course work.
As an experienced blogger, this module will be key to your future growth and sustainable revenue, answering many of your business-related concerns.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 4:
Learning how to maximize your time and energy and work a whole lot smarter, not harder.
Crafting a long-term business strategy for sustainable growth, long into the future of your online business.
Changing the way you look at your blog, as not your business itself but as the most important marketing tool of your business.
Truly becoming the CEO & leader of your company and understanding how and when to grow your team.
I QUIT MY JOB AND I'LL NEVER LOOK BACK
“The moment I heard about blogging for profit through EBA, I knew it was my calling. EBA held my hand through every step of the process and made me believe that I can create a thriving business all on my own. I quit my corporate job to focus on my business and I will never look back. I wake up every morning with purpose and drive. I’m completely overjoyed that my job is all on my own volition.”
- Kylee Gano, Theme Parks for Grown Ups

FROM BRAND NEW TO FULL-TIME
“I bought EBA and started my blog the same day. A year after starting EBA, I made as much money in one MONTH as I did the entire year before from my part-time desk job. My biggest win is that for the first time in my life I am making an income doing something that I love to do. I have never created something myself that I was proud of before and it feels amazing.”
— Carly Campbell, Mommy on Purpose

When Jay Kruger began blogging, he had an idea of what he wanted to do. What he did not have was a plan to get there. EBA gave him the guidance that he needed and a place to connect with bloggers who understand what he is doing because they are all going through the exact same thing.
Jay has been following EBA’s framework since the very beginning of his blog. His launch month saw over 1k visitors and his traffic has only grown from there!
Like many of our students, Amanda Waterston started EBA as a total newbie, just setting up her new website, The Frugal Little House.
Still working full-time, she fought for time to work on her business but she completed her course assignments one by one, and was earning the same income from her blog as her full-time job nearly a year later!
Prior to joining EBA in 2018, Rachel Muur blogged more as a creative outlet and did not understand that she could make real money with it.
Still working full-time and being a mom of two young kids, EBA helped her turn her hobby into a profitable business the following year!
Going through EBA® helped The Debt Free Guys look at their blog as a business. David and John became crystal clear on who they were writing to, and once they did, their traffic and income followed.
Their list grew 9x and their traffic doubled! They’re now the number one personal finance blog and podcast for the LGBT community, and they’re having a blast while doing it.

OPPORTUNITIES I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE
“In terms of blog growth, I went from 1,000 monthly page views to 160,000 monthly page views in under a year, which is something I never thought possible! I learned how to monetize my blog through Ruth’s various strategies and earned over $13,000 in my first year. I also created a product and started my own business, which allowed me to quit my full time job. None of these opportunities would have been possible without Elite Blog Academy®!”
— Kristin Larsen, Believe In A Budget

A NO-BRAINER DECISION FOR YOUR BUSINESS
“When we bought EBA®, we had been consistently earning money from our blogs for a few years. But it wasn't until we worked through EBA® that we realized the difference between being a blogger and creating a lifelong, sustainable business. Over the past few years we've been able to use our blogs to create a company that is bringing in passive income while we pursue our dreams. And the best part? We are using the information in EBA® to help us achieve the goals we have for our family and other businesses, not just our blogs! If you're looking to get organized and build a real business, EBA® is a no-brainer.”

“I’ve been blogging on and off since 2005. I kept coming back to blogging, but I wanted to make good money, write about things I really enjoyed and have fun in the process. Was that too much to ask? At first….yes. I started Mom Fabulous and felt frustrated, confused and just about quit, AGAIN. Then I found Elite Blog Academy®. I am so glad I did! In just two months I doubled my pageviews (and it just keeps increasing!), increased my income and am actually turning Mom Fabulous into a full time job.”
—Julie Bonner, Mom Fabulous
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS IT TOO LATE TO START A BLOG?
The short answer is no, it’s not too late! Not even close.
But to really answer this question, I think it is important to define what blogging actually means, in the context of Elite Blog Academy. I define blogging as the process of producing and publishing any form of content online for the sake of establishing credibility, building rapport, and expanding your customer base.
Blogging is a powerful tool for marketing no matter what you’re selling or planning to sell. It’s the vehicle you will use to grow your audience and establish a loyal tribe of raving fans, knowing that when you can build a customer base of people who know and like and trust you, then selling to them is the easy part.
Thus, when we talk about “blogging,” we’re talking about content marketing in a broad sense. It could mean posting written content on a blog, or it could mean hosting a podcast, hosting a YouTube channel, or connecting with your audience via email. It’s really all the same thing, just delivered differently.
And this means that blogging is not only still relevant, it is actually more relevant than ever before, because people are consuming online content at a higher rate than ever before.
HOW DO I KNOW IF EBA IS RIGHT FOR ME AND MY TYPE OF BUSINESS?
EBA is designed to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for building a successful, profitable online business through content marketing, regardless of your niche, target audience, or experience level.
Whether you’re an ambitious beginner looking just to get started, an intermediate level blogger looking to break through a plateau, or a business owner already earning an income, EBA will provide the tools, support, and resources to set your business up for lasting success.
We often see newbies who worry that the content will be too advanced, as well as experienced bloggers who worry that the content will be too basic. But EBA is designed to work with you, right at the level you are at. Each assignment will push you and help you grow, regardless of where you are starting.
Believe me when I tell you that we have bloggers and business owners of every shape and size, every niche, color, and creed! If you are ready to do the work, if you want more customers and a sustainable online business, then EBA is right for you.
SO WHO IS EBA NOT FOR?
Elite Blog Academy is definitely not for anyone who just wants to “kind of” check things out. You can’t “kind of” become a successful, profitable blogger or business owner. Getting those type of results takes a commitment to succeed.
EBA is also not for anyone looking for a shortcut or “magic bullet” to success. There is no magic wand offered with this course. Instead, we offer a comprehensive, strategic framework and a step-by-step process that allows you to know exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your results.
Instead, EBA is for people who are committed to following the process. The thing our successful alumni have in common is a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get to work and to put 100% of their effort into completing the assignments in order.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A BLOG YET, CAN I STILL JOIN?
You will want to have your website set up before diving into Unit 1 of Elite Blog Academy. However, if you have not yet set up your blog, we also provide a Build Your Blog Bootcamp as a course bonus that will walk you through the basics so that you are ready to jump into the full course. More than 60% of our students don’t have a blog before joining EBA, so you will be in good company!
I AM ALREADY AN EXPERIENCED BLOGGER, IS THIS COURSE ONLY FOR BEGINNERS?
EBA is definitely not just a course for beginners! In fact, I think that advanced bloggers probably have the most to gain from EBA! A huge number of our students have gone through the course more than once, and they tell us that they get something new and different from it every single time. We find that it is a little like peeling an onion—the further you are in your blogging journey, the deeper you will be able to go!
WHAT MAKES EBA DIFFERENT?
There is no shortage of good information available about blogging and online business or marketing. In fact, in many ways, that is exactly the problem. There is so much information, so many people sharing so many ideas and saying so many different things, that it is almost impossible to sift through. In fact, the information overload becomes so overwhelming that many bloggers simply get paralyzed and can’t move forward, while others keep switching from one tactic to the next, and then wonder why they can’t find any momentum.
Elite Blog Academy is totally different because what EBA provides is a comprehensive, step-by-step, framework for success. It goes beyond tactics to provide an actual strategy—one that has been proven, through 6 years and more than 11,000 students so far—to get consistent results.
Most people aren’t all that great at strategy. They struggle to see the big picture or to lay out a plan that includes all the steps that will take them where they want to go. But without the strategy, even the best tactics won’t help you all that much, because you’ll always struggle to build momentum.
EBA is built on the idea that momentum and results come from taking small, focused action steps in the right direction. With EBA, you’ll never have to wonder whether you are on the right track because we tell you exactly what steps to take, in what order, until you get to where you want to be.
WHEN DOES EBA START? HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Because the course is hosted online, you will receive instant access as soon as you have completed your registration. The course is intended to be self-paced, and how quickly you move through the units will depend on you. On average, our students take between 9 and 18 months to complete the course material on their own. If you’d like to accelerate your process and get through the course faster, we recommend our Platinum level.
WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH MY TUITION?
Your EBA tuition gets you lifetime access to the core curriculum for the life of the EBA course, including all future course updates. In addition to our core curriculum, you’ll get access to a number of bonus trainings, partner bonuses, weekly support emails, regularly scheduled office hours, and an exclusive members-only Facebook group.
WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT? IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?
EBA 4.0 is available for a one-time payment of $1097 for the silver level, $1597 for gold, or $4997 for platinum.
Many of our students compare taking EBA to going to college—it’s that comprehensive, and that intense. When you put it into that context, it’s pretty incredible to consider that our tuition for EBA is less than you would pay for one semester at a community college, or even just one class at a 4-year university, and yet this one single course has the power to change your whole future.
We do offer some limited payment plans (4 payments of $297 for silver, or 5 payments of $377 for gold, or 6 payments of $947 for platinum), but because we are not a bank, we don’t have the ability to offer more flexible payment options. We encourage you to check out other options for financing! You can secure funding through a low-interest credit card (view a list HERE), or apply through PayPal Credit HERE.
IS IT WORTH UPGRADING TO GOLD? WHAT ABOUT PLATINUM?
Without a doubt, 100% YES! Our Gold level membership includes more than $2,676 in additional bonuses and learning materials that are designed to enhance everything you are learning in EBA 4.0, including our game-changing Product Launch Playbook, all videos from our ACTIVATE: EBA Live events (which are sooooooo good) along with advanced Facebook Ad training, plus our Irresistible Email and Social Boom courses. Even if you’re not quite ready to utilize all these bonuses immediately, they will be invaluable to you later on.
Our platinum level includes everything you’ll get in gold, as well as dedicated hands-on, guided instruction. You’ll meet weekly with Ruth for live instruction and feedback, and you’ll be given hard deadlines for your assignments. You’ll also meet in person for a one-day intensive that will help you get ready to grow your email list and launch your first product. If you’re the kind of person who thrives with more accountability, then our platinum level is the best way to turbocharge your progress.
HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE LIVE 1-DAY EVENT?
Our live EBA® Traffic School Intensive Workshop will be held on Friday, May 1st, 2020 in Punta Gorda, FL. We’ll have a cocktail reception the evening before and we STRONGLY encourage that you book yourself an extra day or two after the event for implementation. This intimate workshop is designed to help dramatically shorten your learning curve and get you up and running a whole lot faster.
There you'll have a chance to work directly with Ruth, the EBA team, and find out how to quickly grow your email list and get ready to launch your product. This in person intensive will basically replace six months of work.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY YET. IS EBA REALLY WORTH THE INVESTMENT?
Starting a business means being willing to invest in yourself, and we can honestly say that when it comes to starting an online business, there are few investments you can make that will be more valuable for your long term success than EBA. In fact, if you research online what our students have to say about EBA, the one thing you will find them saying over and over again is this: “EBA was the best money I ever spent on my business.”
This is because the framework we teach gets results, results that have been proven and refined since 2014, with more than 11,000 students so far.
Moreover, the fact that EBA is a serious investment actually makes it even more powerful, because you will be forced to take it seriously. Make no mistake—completing Elite Blog Academy is a lot of work, but when you are invested and committed, you will see incredible results. Don’t forget, also, that the course comes with a 100% money back guarantee. If you complete all 36 course assignments and do not see measurable growth, we’ll refund your money. We truly want nothing more than to see you succeed!
I'M ALREADY TOO BUSY. DO I REALLY HAVE TIME FOR EBA?
Like anything, if you desire change, you must commit to actually doing the work.
That said, EBA is designed to be self-paced, and to work into your schedule. Many of our most successful graduates squeezed in their course work while they were working other jobs—sometimes even more than one—as well as while they were homeschooling their kids, going to school, or taking care of their families.
You can access the course material 24 hours a day, which means you can make it work for your schedule. We recommend setting aside at least 5 hours a week to work on your course materials, but you can do more or less depending on your own schedule. In the end, what you put in is what you’ll get out.
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT WILL I GET IN THE COURSE? WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
Most of our students will tell you that the support they receive in our incredible community is one of their favorite aspects of EBA. And I can tell you that you won’t find a more positive or supportive community of online business owners anywhere on the internet. We foster a pay-it-forward mentality, and even our most successful alumni stay engaged in the group, constantly and consistently pouring into our newer students.
I generally host office hours in the Facebook group once a week, which is your opportunity to ask me anything, and if for some reason I am traveling or unavailable, we have a guest expert available for office hours.
Not only that, my team is always available and standing by to answer questions, either in the Facebook group, via email, or via live chat right in the course website.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY MATERIALS?
All course materials are delivered digitally through a password-protected members-only site. As soon as you enroll, you’ll be emailed your login information with a username and password. You can then log into the site and have instant access to all course materials.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
No program works unless you do. If you’re expecting Elite Blog Academy, or anything else to magically solve your problems or make you money the moment you register, please do NOT sign up. This is not some “get rich quick” program, nor do we offer some top-secret formula or magic bullet that promises untold riches with no effort on your part. Plus, we actually care that you complete and implement the material provided in the course.
In order to be eligible for a refund for our full course, Elite Blog Academy 4.0, you must submit your completed homework for all 36 assignments by 365 days from your purchase date. You can send your fully completed assignments to [email protected].
WILL I GET ACCESS TO FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE COURSE?
Yes! Your enrollment to EBA gives you access to our core curriculum (Units 1-12) through the lifetime of the course, which includes all future course updates. (And since the tuition for EBA keeps going up, it is definitely a good idea to enroll now, rather than later!)
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
Our team is standing by! Just click on the chat box on your screen to chat with a member of our team in real time. Otherwise just contact my team at [email protected] and we’ll be glad to touch base with you!
IF I AM NOT READY NOW, WHEN WILL I HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO ENROLL? AND WILL THE TUITION BE GOING UP?
Our next public enrollment period for EBA will happen next March. As in previous years, our tuition will most likely go up at that time. If you’re sure you want to join EBA in the next year, we highly recommend enrolling now.

Ruth lays out step-by-step exactly what you need to do so that when you’ve completed it, you understand how to make a living from your blog.”

MORE EBA SUCCESS STORIES
MY SUCCESS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
"What Elite Blog Academy did for me was set the foundation for success. Using the tips and tools I learned from EBA, I was able to bring thousands of people to Run The Money each month and made $10,000 between December 2017 and January 2018. That's less than a year into starting the class. I've started other blogs and side hustles before, but I never followed a process to achieve success. EBA is that process -- and my success speaks for itself."
— David Domzalski, Run the Money
HEY THERE, I'M RUTH!
AND I'D REALLY LOVE TO BE YOUR FAIRY BLOG-MAMA....
Since launching my first blog, Living Well Spending Less, in 2010, my business has grown into a multi-million dollar company. I’ve become the New York Times bestselling author of 6 books, launched a top-rated podcast, and even given a TED talk.
But it didn’t start out that way!
When I first started, I struggled hard trying to figure it all out. There were SO many times I felt like quitting, and I can’t even tell you how often I secretly wished for some magical fairy blog-mama to share all her secrets of success. Sadly, she never appeared, but I swore to myself that if I ever did figure out the secret to blogging, I’d be that fairy blog-mama to someone else!
And that’s exactly what Elite Blog Academy is all about.
No, it’s not a magic wand, but it IS probably the next best thing: a clearly laid out, step-by-step guide that will show you, in crystal clear detail, exactly what to do.
It’s the secret blueprint for success you’ve been waiting for.
I DOUBLED MY TRAFFIC
"Since 2014, I've gone through the course three times. Every single time, I learn something new. Ruth's teaching has proven correct through the years. Her wisdom isn't based on the latest algorithm or fad but tried and true methods that withstand the test of time. Even after the first few lessons, I doubled the traffic on my blog. Since enrolling, my blog is more focused, more beautiful and more useful to my readers. Thank you, Ruth!"
— Elaine Mingus, Radical Christian Woman
FROM A TEACHER WHO'S BEEN THERE
Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of expert advice available and wished someone could just show you, step by step, exactly what it takes to grow a successful, profitable online business?
Believe me, I get it. I have totally been there, and I know exactly how it feels.
JUST A STAY-AT-HOME MOM OF TWO TODDLERS
When I first started blogging, I was completely clueless. I was a stay-at-home mom of two little girls, and truth be told, I was going a little bit stir-crazy. I decided to start a blog about trying to live well on a budget, which was something I was really struggling with. The purpose of the blog at first was simply to hold myself accountable—I never dreamed that people would actually read it.
But almost right away, I discovered that there was this whole other world of blogs and bloggers and blogging, and that people were actually making money online. I knew I had found my people, and I wanted to be a part of it, and I soon set a goal to make enough money blogging that my husband could quit his job, even though it seemed completely crazy.
NOT AN EXPERT IN ANYTHING
At first it was hard and completely overwhelming to find my voice, and even to just figure out what to write about. Add to that the logistics of trying to grow an audience and somehow get paid for my time, and I was struggling. After all, I didn’t feel like I really had anything original to say. I was just a mom of two little girls. I certainly wasn’t an expert in anything, (much less saving money!).
I saw all these bloggers around me who had been doing it for so much longer. From the outside, it seemed like they knew exactly what they were doing. It felt like I was so far behind them that I’d never “catch up,” while offline none of my real-life friends understood either. Even my husband questioned what in the world I was doing. Truth be told, I think he thought I was completely nuts!
DETERMINED TO FIND MY WAY
But I knew that if other people were making money online, then it was actually possible, and that I could do it too. And so, despite the fact that I didn’t really know what I was doing, I was determined to make it work. I began learning everything I could about growing my traffic and creating a successful blog, and I started to gain a little more confidence as my efforts slowly began to pay off.
In a moment of frustration, I also swore to myself that if I could figure out how it’s done, I would try to help as many people as I could.
MAKING AN IMPACT
Ten years later, my business reaches more than a million subscribers and generates a 7-figure income. But more importantly, my message is resonating with people and it’s helping them live a better life. So now, the more I share, the more impact I’m able to have.
Every day I receive emails from readers whose lives have been impacted by words I’ve shared, and that's pretty amazing.
NOT THE END OF THE STORY
But this story doesn’t stop with me, because I want the same for you. No matter what your message is, I will show you how to reach your tribe and effortlessly draw them in. I’ll show you how to turn that loyal following into a full-time income and I’ll show you how you can do it by focusing on a few key activities that will make all the difference. This is the exact plan I continue to follow to this day. And it is the plan I lay out in detail at Elite Blog Academy.
NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS
"I was blogging for 6 years before I started EBA, and I went through every single module and got something from all of them, even the ones where I thought I knew a lot about that specific topic. It is a great guide for anyone who wants to go from being just a blogger to having a blogging business."
— Jasmine Watts, Miss Millennia Magazine
A PROVEN BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS
Over seven years and 11,000+ students, we’ve learned what really works....and what doesn't. Our powerful, game-changing framework is designed to get you the massive results you are looking for, in less time, with far less frustration than if you tried to do it on your own.
Here’s a look at how our course is structured:
REFINE
The first phase of creating a successful, profitable blog is to refine your message--not just what you say, but how you want your readers to feel when they come to your site. Elite Blog Academy will show you exactly how to refine this message of yours, to hone and craft it and perfect it until it is part of you, and until every single person who comes across your blog can tell at a glance what you are all about. More importantly, they'll know what they have to gain by being there.
For experienced bloggers, this will immediately allow you to forge a deeper connection with your audience, and begin cultivating a real tribe of raving fans.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 1:
Nailing down your blog structure & tagline.
Creating your customer avatar.
Learning how to write with F.O.C.U.S.
Designing the perfect website to showcase your brand.
GROW

From list-building and SEO to viral growth using social media, at Elite Blog Academy we’ll provide you with an armory of proven, detailed strategies for how to get your message heard and shared. You’ll never feel unsure of how to get more traffic again.
If you've already been blogging for a while, this module will especially help you hone in on the importance of (and secrets for) growing your email list.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 2:
Crafting your elevator pitch in order to convey your message clearly & succinctly.
Optimizing your stellar content for maximum search results on Google and Pinterest.
Creating your first lead magnet and autoresponder campaign.
Learning how to grow your email list quickly and easily.
Developing a cohesive & effective social media strategy.
MONETIZE
The third phase in our EBA framework is to monetize your platform. This is where the rubber meets the road and where blogging starts to get really fun, because it is where all the hard work you have put in starts to really pay off and multiply. But believe it or not, not all income streams are created equal, and at Elite Blog Academy you’ll learn exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your bottom line and skyrocket your profits.
For experienced bloggers, this module is where you will see a dramatic boost in revenue as you begin to hone in on ROI and more effective and advanced monetization techniques.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 3:
Nailing down your monetization strategy in order to begin generating a steady income from your online platform.
Developing your first real product.
Planning and executing a “Baby Seed Launch” to introduce your new product to your audience.
Mastering the art of sales & marketing, from writing sales copy to building a sales page and so much more.
BUILD
The fourth and final phase of creating a successful, profitable blog is to build your business. This is the point where you realize that you are not just a blogger, but an entrepreneur, and this is also the point at which you can really take off and begin to find massive success. Elite Blog Academy will show you how to work smarter, not harder, and how to build momentum that keeps you going long after you’ve completed your course work.
As an experienced blogger, this module will be key to your future growth and sustainable revenue, answering many of your business-related concerns.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 4:
Learning how to maximize your time and energy and work a whole lot smarter, not harder.
Crafting a long-term business strategy for sustainable growth, long into the future of your online business.
Changing the way you look at your blog, as not your business itself but as the most important marketing tool of your business.
Truly becoming the CEO & leader of your company and understanding how and when to grow your team.
I QUIT MY JOB AND I'LL NEVER LOOK BACK
“The moment I heard about blogging for profit through EBA, I knew it was my calling. EBA held my hand through every step of the process and made me believe that I can create a thriving business all on my own. I quit my corporate job to focus on my business and I will never look back. I wake up every morning with purpose and drive. I’m completely overjoyed that my job is all on my own volition.”
- Kylee Gano, Theme Parks for Grown Ups

FROM BRAND NEW TO FULL-TIME
“I bought EBA and started my blog the same day. A year after starting EBA, I made as much money in one MONTH as I did the entire year before from my part-time desk job. My biggest win is that for the first time in my life I am making an income doing something that I love to do. I have never created something myself that I was proud of before and it feels amazing.”
— Carly Campbell, Mommy on Purpose
RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
EBA isn't just the world's best blogging course, it is the world's best community of online content creators. Our 11,000+ alumni successful bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, influencers, authors, speakers, and even brick-and-mortar business owners, all who consistently pour back into our community and support one another. When you join EBA you are not just getting an education, you're getting a tribe. It truly is the most uplifting, encouraging, and supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs that you will ever find.
When Jay Kruger began blogging, he had an idea of what he wanted to do. What he did not have was a plan to get there. EBA gave him the guidance that he needed and a place to connect with bloggers who understand what he is doing because they are all going through the exact same thing.
Jay has been following EBA’s framework since the very beginning of his blog. His launch month saw over 1k visitors and his traffic has only grown from there!
Like many of our students, Amanda Waterston started EBA as a total newbie, just setting up her new website, The Frugal Little House.
Still working full-time, she fought for time to work on her business but she completed her course assignments one by one, and was earning the same income from her blog as her full-time job nearly a year later!
Prior to joining EBA in 2018, Rachel Muur blogged more as a creative outlet and did not understand that she could make real money with it.
Still working full-time and being a mom of two young kids, EBA helped her turn her hobby into a profitable business the following year!
Going through EBA® helped The Debt Free Guys look at their blog as a business. David and John became crystal clear on who they were writing to, and once they did, their traffic and income followed.
Their list grew 9x and their traffic doubled! They’re now the number one personal finance blog and podcast for the LGBT community, and they’re having a blast while doing it.
MORE EBA® SUCCESS STORIES
OPPORTUNITIES I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE
“In terms of blog growth, I went from 1,000 monthly page views to 160,000 monthly page views in under a year, which is something I never thought possible! I learned how to monetize my blog through Ruth’s various strategies and earned over $13,000 in my first year. I also created a product and started my own business, which allowed me to quit my full time job. None of these opportunities would have been possible without Elite Blog Academy®!”
— Kristin Larsen, Believe In A Budget

A CLEAR, STRAIGHTFORWARD APPROACH
“EBA takes the stress away because it removes any questions you have about what you should be doing. Ruth tells you exactly what you should be doing. I don’t need maybes, I need someone to be straightforward. Every blog is different, but the foundation is always the same which makes EBA work for even the most targeted niche.“
— Kara Fidd, Simplifying DIY Design
BUT WHAT IF I WANT MORE HELP?
This year's Platinum level offers an exclusive opportunity to get hands-on instruction and a guided structure through the course

This year we’re excited to introduce EBA Platinum, an intense, highly-structured guided curriculum that is designed to help you work through the entire course in just six months.
Watch the video below to find out more!
BY FAR THE BEST COURSE CONTENT I'VE EVER SEEN
“EBA® was a game-changer in my business. After blogging for six years with no real systems in place, Ruth’s step-by-step program helped me clean up my online presence; create more engaging content; connect with my audience in a more meaningful way; grow my traffic, build multiple streams of revenue; maximize the potential of my platform, and inspire me with new ideas to grow my business. I have purchased many blogging programs and books, and this is hands-down the best content I have ever seen. EBA® is a clear and tangible roadmap for success. Whether you are a new or seasoned blogger, make your way through the modules, do the work, and you will see results. It is the best blogging money I’ve ever spent.”

STILL NOT SURE?
CONSIDER WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...
EBA - On the Fence Updated from Living Well Spending Less on Vimeo.
A NO-BRAINER DECISION FOR YOUR BUSINESS
“When we bought EBA®, we had been consistently earning money from our blogs for a few years. But it wasn't until we worked through EBA® that we realized the difference between being a blogger and creating a lifelong, sustainable business. Over the past few years we've been able to use our blogs to create a company that is bringing in passive income while we pursue our dreams. And the best part? We are using the information in EBA® to help us achieve the goals we have for our family and other businesses, not just our blogs! If you're looking to get organized and build a real business, EBA® is a no-brainer.”
—Mike & Carlie Kercheval, Fulfilling Your Vows
100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
It is possible to create a successful business from a blog. Elite Blog Academy® shares exactly how it’s done, step-by-step, and we want you to purchase with confidence. In fact, we are so sure that our program works, we are willing to put it in writing and offer a money back guarantee. Anyone who completes all the course assignments within a year of enrolling and does not see measurable results in traffic and income growth will get their money back, no questions asked.
I DOUBLED MY PAGEVIEWS AND MY INCOME!
“I’ve been blogging on and off since 2005. I kept coming back to blogging, but I wanted to make good money, write about things I really enjoyed and have fun in the process. Was that too much to ask? At first….yes. I started Mom Fabulous and felt frustrated, confused and just about quit, AGAIN. Then I found Elite Blog Academy®. I am so glad I did! In just two months I doubled my pageviews (and it just keeps increasing!), increased my income and am actually turning Mom Fabulous into a full time job.”
—Julie Bonner, Mom Fabulous
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS IT TOO LATE TO START A BLOG?
The short answer is no, it’s not too late! Not even close.
But to really answer this question, I think it is important to define what blogging actually means, in the context of Elite Blog Academy. I define blogging as the process of producing and publishing any form of content online for the sake of establishing credibility, building rapport, and expanding your customer base.
Blogging is a powerful tool for marketing no matter what you’re selling or planning to sell. It’s the vehicle you will use to grow your audience and establish a loyal tribe of raving fans, knowing that when you can build a customer base of people who know and like and trust you, then selling to them is the easy part.
Thus, when we talk about “blogging,” we’re talking about content marketing in a broad sense. It could mean posting written content on a blog, or it could mean hosting a podcast, hosting a YouTube channel, or connecting with your audience via email. It’s really all the same thing, just delivered differently.
And this means that blogging is not only still relevant, it is actually more relevant than ever before, because people are consuming online content at a higher rate than ever before.
HOW DO I KNOW IF EBA IS RIGHT FOR ME AND MY TYPE OF BUSINESS?
EBA is designed to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for building a successful, profitable online business through content marketing, regardless of your niche, target audience, or experience level.
Whether you’re an ambitious beginner looking just to get started, an intermediate level blogger looking to break through a plateau, or a business owner already earning an income, EBA will provide the tools, support, and resources to set your business up for lasting success.
We often see newbies who worry that the content will be too advanced, as well as experienced bloggers who worry that the content will be too basic. But EBA is designed to work with you, right at the level you are at. Each assignment will push you and help you grow, regardless of where you are starting.
Believe me when I tell you that we have bloggers and business owners of every shape and size, every niche, color, and creed! If you are ready to do the work, if you want more customers and a sustainable online business, then EBA is right for you.
SO WHO IS EBA NOT FOR?
Elite Blog Academy is definitely not for anyone who just wants to “kind of” check things out. You can’t “kind of” become a successful, profitable blogger or business owner. Getting those type of results takes a commitment to succeed.
EBA is also not for anyone looking for a shortcut or “magic bullet” to success. There is no magic wand offered with this course. Instead, we offer a comprehensive, strategic framework and a step-by-step process that allows you to know exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your results.
Instead, EBA is for people who are committed to following the process. The thing our successful alumni have in common is a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get to work and to put 100% of their effort into completing the assignments in order.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A BLOG YET, CAN I STILL JOIN?
You will want to have your website set up before diving into Unit 1 of Elite Blog Academy. However, if you have not yet set up your blog, we also provide a Build Your Blog Bootcamp as a course bonus that will walk you through the basics so that you are ready to jump into the full course. More than 60% of our students don’t have a blog before joining EBA, so you will be in good company!
I AM ALREADY AN EXPERIENCED BLOGGER, IS THIS COURSE ONLY FOR BEGINNERS?
EBA is definitely not just a course for beginners! In fact, I think that advanced bloggers probably have the most to gain from EBA! A huge number of our students have gone through the course more than once, and they tell us that they get something new and different from it every single time. We find that it is a little like peeling an onion—the further you are in your blogging journey, the deeper you will be able to go!
WHAT MAKES EBA DIFFERENT?
There is no shortage of good information available about blogging and online business or marketing. In fact, in many ways, that is exactly the problem. There is so much information, so many people sharing so many ideas and saying so many different things, that it is almost impossible to sift through. In fact, the information overload becomes so overwhelming that many bloggers simply get paralyzed and can’t move forward, while others keep switching from one tactic to the next, and then wonder why they can’t find any momentum.
Elite Blog Academy is totally different because what EBA provides is a comprehensive, step-by-step, framework for success. It goes beyond tactics to provide an actual strategy—one that has been proven, through 6 years and more than 11,000 students so far—to get consistent results.
Most people aren’t all that great at strategy. They struggle to see the big picture or to lay out a plan that includes all the steps that will take them where they want to go. But without the strategy, even the best tactics won’t help you all that much, because you’ll always struggle to build momentum.
EBA is built on the idea that momentum and results come from taking small, focused action steps in the right direction. With EBA, you’ll never have to wonder whether you are on the right track because we tell you exactly what steps to take, in what order, until you get to where you want to be.
WHEN DOES EBA START? HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Because the course is hosted online, you will receive instant access as soon as you have completed your registration. The course is intended to be self-paced, and how quickly you move through the units will depend on you. On average, our students take between 9 and 18 months to complete the course material on their own. If you’d like to accelerate your process and get through the course faster, we recommend our Platinum level.
WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH MY TUITION?
Your EBA tuition gets you lifetime access to the core curriculum for the life of the EBA course, including all future course updates. In addition to our core curriculum, you’ll get access to a number of bonus trainings, partner bonuses, weekly support emails, regularly scheduled office hours, and an exclusive members-only Facebook group.
WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT? IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?
EBA 4.0 is available for a one-time payment of $1097 for the silver level, $1597 for gold, or $4997 for platinum.
Many of our students compare taking EBA to going to college—it’s that comprehensive, and that intense. When you put it into that context, it’s pretty incredible to consider that our tuition for EBA is less than you would pay for one semester at a community college, or even just one class at a 4-year university, and yet this one single course has the power to change your whole future.
We do offer some limited payment plans (4 payments of $297 for silver, or 5 payments of $377 for gold, or 6 payments of $947 for platinum), but because we are not a bank, we don’t have the ability to offer more flexible payment options. We encourage you to check out other options for financing! You can secure funding through a low-interest credit card (view a list HERE), or apply through PayPal Credit HERE.
IS IT WORTH UPGRADING TO GOLD? WHAT ABOUT PLATINUM?
Without a doubt, 100% YES! Our Gold level membership includes more than $2,676 in additional bonuses and learning materials that are designed to enhance everything you are learning in EBA 4.0, including our game-changing Product Launch Playbook, all videos from our ACTIVATE: EBA Live events (which are sooooooo good) along with advanced Facebook Ad training, plus our Irresistible Email and Social Boom courses. Even if you’re not quite ready to utilize all these bonuses immediately, they will be invaluable to you later on.
Our platinum level includes everything you’ll get in gold, as well as dedicated hands-on, guided instruction. You’ll meet weekly with Ruth for live instruction and feedback, and you’ll be given hard deadlines for your assignments. You’ll also meet in person for a one-day intensive that will help you get ready to grow your email list and launch your first product. If you’re the kind of person who thrives with more accountability, then our platinum level is the best way to turbocharge your progress.
HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE LIVE 1-DAY EVENT?
Our live EBA® Traffic School Intensive Workshop will be held on Friday, May 1st, 2020 in Punta Gorda, FL. We’ll have a cocktail reception the evening before and we STRONGLY encourage that you book yourself an extra day or two after the event for implementation. This intimate workshop is designed to help dramatically shorten your learning curve and get you up and running a whole lot faster.
There you'll have a chance to work directly with Ruth, the EBA team, and find out how to quickly grow your email list and get ready to launch your product. This in person intensive will basically replace six months of work.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY YET. IS EBA REALLY WORTH THE INVESTMENT?
Starting a business means being willing to invest in yourself, and we can honestly say that when it comes to starting an online business, there are few investments you can make that will be more valuable for your long term success than EBA. In fact, if you research online what our students have to say about EBA, the one thing you will find them saying over and over again is this: “EBA was the best money I ever spent on my business.”
This is because the framework we teach gets results, results that have been proven and refined since 2014, with more than 11,000 students so far.
Moreover, the fact that EBA is a serious investment actually makes it even more powerful, because you will be forced to take it seriously. Make no mistake—completing Elite Blog Academy is a lot of work, but when you are invested and committed, you will see incredible results. Don’t forget, also, that the course comes with a 100% money back guarantee. If you complete all 36 course assignments and do not see measurable growth, we’ll refund your money. We truly want nothing more than to see you succeed!
I'M ALREADY TOO BUSY. DO I REALLY HAVE TIME FOR EBA?
Like anything, if you desire change, you must commit to actually doing the work.
That said, EBA is designed to be self-paced, and to work into your schedule. Many of our most successful graduates squeezed in their course work while they were working other jobs—sometimes even more than one—as well as while they were homeschooling their kids, going to school, or taking care of their families.
You can access the course material 24 hours a day, which means you can make it work for your schedule. We recommend setting aside at least 5 hours a week to work on your course materials, but you can do more or less depending on your own schedule. In the end, what you put in is what you’ll get out.
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT WILL I GET IN THE COURSE? WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
Most of our students will tell you that the support they receive in our incredible community is one of their favorite aspects of EBA. And I can tell you that you won’t find a more positive or supportive community of online business owners anywhere on the internet. We foster a pay-it-forward mentality, and even our most successful alumni stay engaged in the group, constantly and consistently pouring into our newer students.
I generally host office hours in the Facebook group once a week, which is your opportunity to ask me anything, and if for some reason I am traveling or unavailable, we have a guest expert available for office hours.
Not only that, my team is always available and standing by to answer questions, either in the Facebook group, via email, or via live chat right in the course website.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY MATERIALS?
All course materials are delivered digitally through a password-protected members-only site. As soon as you enroll, you’ll be emailed your login information with a username and password. You can then log into the site and have instant access to all course materials.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
No program works unless you do. If you’re expecting Elite Blog Academy, or anything else to magically solve your problems or make you money the moment you register, please do NOT sign up. This is not some “get rich quick” program, nor do we offer some top-secret formula or magic bullet that promises untold riches with no effort on your part. Plus, we actually care that you complete and implement the material provided in the course.
In order to be eligible for a refund for our full course, Elite Blog Academy 4.0, you must submit your completed homework for all 36 assignments by 365 days from your purchase date. You can send your fully completed assignments to [email protected].
WILL I GET ACCESS TO FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE COURSE?
Yes! Your enrollment to EBA gives you access to our core curriculum (Units 1-12) through the lifetime of the course, which includes all future course updates. (And since the tuition for EBA keeps going up, it is definitely a good idea to enroll now, rather than later!)
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
Our team is standing by! Just click on the chat box on your screen to chat with a member of our team in real time. Otherwise just contact my team at [email protected] and we’ll be glad to touch base with you!
IF I AM NOT READY NOW, WHEN WILL I HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO ENROLL? AND WILL THE TUITION BE GOING UP?
Our next public enrollment period for EBA will happen next March. As in previous years, our tuition will most likely go up at that time. If you’re sure you want to join EBA in the next year, we highly recommend enrolling now.

A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN FOR MAKING A LIVING ONLINE
“When I first started Elite Blog Academy, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was determined. I followed every single step of the program exactly as written. It took me 9 months to complete, but exactly one year after starting EBA, I was blogging full time and made $5,000 in one month alone. Two years later, I was earning $35,000 a month, and it has only gone up from there. Having taken many expensive online classes, I’m able to tell you that EBA® is the best! Ruth lays out step-by-step exactly what you need to do so that when you’ve completed it, you understand how to make a living from your blog.”
— Rosemarie Groner, The Busy Budgeter

MORE EBA SUCCESS STORIES
MY SUCCESS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
"What Elite Blog Academy did for me was set the foundation for success. Using the tips and tools I learned from EBA, I was able to bring thousands of people to Run The Money each month and made $10,000 between December 2017 and January 2018. That's less than a year into starting the class. I've started other blogs and side hustles before, but I never followed a process to achieve success. EBA is that process -- and my success speaks for itself."
— David Domzalski, Run the Money
HEY THERE, I'M RUTH!
AND I'D REALLY LOVE TO BE YOUR FAIRY BLOG-MAMA....
Since launching my first blog, Living Well Spending Less, in 2010, my business has grown into a multi-million dollar company. I’ve become the New York Times bestselling author of 6 books, launched a top-rated podcast, and even given a TED talk.
But it didn’t start out that way!
When I first started, I struggled hard trying to figure it all out. There were SO many times I felt like quitting, and I can’t even tell you how often I secretly wished for some magical fairy blog-mama to share all her secrets of success. Sadly, she never appeared, but I swore to myself that if I ever did figure out the secret to blogging, I’d be that fairy blog-mama to someone else!
And that’s exactly what Elite Blog Academy is all about.
No, it’s not a magic wand, but it IS probably the next best thing: a clearly laid out, step-by-step guide that will show you, in crystal clear detail, exactly what to do.
It’s the secret blueprint for success you’ve been waiting for.
I DOUBLED MY TRAFFIC
"Since 2014, I've gone through the course three times. Every single time, I learn something new. Ruth's teaching has proven correct through the years. Her wisdom isn't based on the latest algorithm or fad but tried and true methods that withstand the test of time. Even after the first few lessons, I doubled the traffic on my blog. Since enrolling, my blog is more focused, more beautiful and more useful to my readers. Thank you, Ruth!"
— Elaine Mingus, Radical Christian Woman
FROM A TEACHER WHO'S BEEN THERE
Have you ever felt completely overwhelmed by the amount of expert advice available and wished someone could just show you, step by step, exactly what it takes to grow a successful, profitable online business?
Believe me, I get it. I have totally been there, and I know exactly how it feels.
JUST A STAY-AT-HOME MOM OF TWO TODDLERS
When I first started blogging, I was completely clueless. I was a stay-at-home mom of two little girls, and truth be told, I was going a little bit stir-crazy. I decided to start a blog about trying to live well on a budget, which was something I was really struggling with. The purpose of the blog at first was simply to hold myself accountable—I never dreamed that people would actually read it.
But almost right away, I discovered that there was this whole other world of blogs and bloggers and blogging, and that people were actually making money online. I knew I had found my people, and I wanted to be a part of it, and I soon set a goal to make enough money blogging that my husband could quit his job, even though it seemed completely crazy.
NOT AN EXPERT IN ANYTHING
At first it was hard and completely overwhelming to find my voice, and even to just figure out what to write about. Add to that the logistics of trying to grow an audience and somehow get paid for my time, and I was struggling. After all, I didn’t feel like I really had anything original to say. I was just a mom of two little girls. I certainly wasn’t an expert in anything, (much less saving money!).
I saw all these bloggers around me who had been doing it for so much longer. From the outside, it seemed like they knew exactly what they were doing. It felt like I was so far behind them that I’d never “catch up,” while offline none of my real-life friends understood either. Even my husband questioned what in the world I was doing. Truth be told, I think he thought I was completely nuts!
DETERMINED TO FIND MY WAY
But I knew that if other people were making money online, then it was actually possible, and that I could do it too. And so, despite the fact that I didn’t really know what I was doing, I was determined to make it work. I began learning everything I could about growing my traffic and creating a successful blog, and I started to gain a little more confidence as my efforts slowly began to pay off.
In a moment of frustration, I also swore to myself that if I could figure out how it’s done, I would try to help as many people as I could.
MAKING AN IMPACT
Ten years later, my business reaches more than a million subscribers and generates a 7-figure income. But more importantly, my message is resonating with people and it’s helping them live a better life. So now, the more I share, the more impact I’m able to have.
Every day I receive emails from readers whose lives have been impacted by words I’ve shared, and that's pretty amazing.
NOT THE END OF THE STORY
But this story doesn’t stop with me, because I want the same for you. No matter what your message is, I will show you how to reach your tribe and effortlessly draw them in. I’ll show you how to turn that loyal following into a full-time income and I’ll show you how you can do it by focusing on a few key activities that will make all the difference. This is the exact plan I continue to follow to this day. And it is the plan I lay out in detail at Elite Blog Academy.
NOT JUST FOR BEGINNERS
"I was blogging for 6 years before I started EBA, and I went through every single module and got something from all of them, even the ones where I thought I knew a lot about that specific topic. It is a great guide for anyone who wants to go from being just a blogger to having a blogging business."
— Jasmine Watts, Miss Millennia Magazine
A PROVEN BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS
Over seven years and 11,000+ students, we’ve learned what really works....and what doesn't. Our powerful, game-changing framework is designed to get you the massive results you are looking for, in less time, with far less frustration than if you tried to do it on your own.
Here’s a look at how our course is structured:
REFINE
The first phase of creating a successful, profitable blog is to refine your message--not just what you say, but how you want your readers to feel when they come to your site. Elite Blog Academy will show you exactly how to refine this message of yours, to hone and craft it and perfect it until it is part of you, and until every single person who comes across your blog can tell at a glance what you are all about. More importantly, they'll know what they have to gain by being there.
For experienced bloggers, this will immediately allow you to forge a deeper connection with your audience, and begin cultivating a real tribe of raving fans.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 1:
Nailing down your blog structure & tagline.
Creating your customer avatar.
Learning how to write with F.O.C.U.S.
Designing the perfect website to showcase your brand.
GROW
The second phase in our EBA framework is to grow your audience. Finding people to actually read your blog can sometimes feel like a daunting prospect, but it doesn’t have to be. From list-building and SEO to viral growth using social media, at Elite Blog Academy we’ll provide you with an armory of proven, detailed strategies for how to get your message heard and shared. You’ll never feel unsure of how to get more traffic again.
If you've already been blogging for a while, this module will especially help you hone in on the importance of (and secrets for) growing your email list.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 2:
Crafting your elevator pitch in order to convey your message clearly & succinctly.
Optimizing your stellar content for maximum search results on Google and Pinterest.
Creating your first lead magnet and autoresponder campaign.
Learning how to grow your email list quickly and easily.
Developing a cohesive & effective social media strategy.
MONETIZE
The third phase in our EBA framework is to monetize your platform. This is where the rubber meets the road and where blogging starts to get really fun, because it is where all the hard work you have put in starts to really pay off and multiply. But believe it or not, not all income streams are created equal, and at Elite Blog Academy you’ll learn exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your bottom line and skyrocket your profits.
For experienced bloggers, this module is where you will see a dramatic boost in revenue as you begin to hone in on ROI and more effective and advanced monetization techniques.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 3:
Nailing down your monetization strategy in order to begin generating a steady income from your online platform.
Developing your first real product.
Planning and executing a “Baby Seed Launch” to introduce your new product to your audience.
Mastering the art of sales & marketing, from writing sales copy to building a sales page and so much more.
BUILD
The fourth and final phase of creating a successful, profitable blog is to build your business. This is the point where you realize that you are not just a blogger, but an entrepreneur, and this is also the point at which you can really take off and begin to find massive success. Elite Blog Academy will show you how to work smarter, not harder, and how to build momentum that keeps you going long after you’ve completed your course work.
As an experienced blogger, this module will be key to your future growth and sustainable revenue, answering many of your business-related concerns.
HIGHLIGHTS OF MODULE 4:
Learning how to maximize your time and energy and work a whole lot smarter, not harder.
Crafting a long-term business strategy for sustainable growth, long into the future of your online business.
Changing the way you look at your blog, as not your business itself but as the most important marketing tool of your business.
Truly becoming the CEO & leader of your company and understanding how and when to grow your team.
I QUIT MY JOB AND I'LL NEVER LOOK BACK
“The moment I heard about blogging for profit through EBA, I knew it was my calling. EBA held my hand through every step of the process and made me believe that I can create a thriving business all on my own. I quit my corporate job to focus on my business and I will never look back. I wake up every morning with purpose and drive. I’m completely overjoyed that my job is all on my own volition.”
- Kylee Gano, Theme Parks for Grown Ups

With our clearly laid-out framework, you'll be able to focus your efforts on the most important tasks in the right order, which will catapult you to success 10x faster than trying to go it alone.

Our 36 purposeful assignments are designed to do just that—they show you, in crystal clear detail, how to take the lessons you are learning and put them into practice on your OWN blog, so that you are seeing measurable results all the way through the course. It’s homework that is actually FUN to do, because you will get to reap the benefits of the work you are putting in.

Each week you’ll also receive our EBA® newsletter, a weekly dose of encouragement and motivation.

Many of our members say this weekly newsletter is their favorite part of the whole course!
You’ll also be able to participate in our weekly live Q&A sessions, which are always a fun and lively way to get the straight scoop on a variety of blogging-related questions. We try to keep each Q&A session focused on a particular topic, and we always record these sessions so you can access them later.

FROM BRAND NEW TO FULL-TIME
“I bought EBA and started my blog the same day. A year after starting EBA, I made as much money in one MONTH as I did the entire year before from my part-time desk job. My biggest win is that for the first time in my life I am making an income doing something that I love to do. I have never created something myself that I was proud of before and it feels amazing.”
— Carly Campbell, Mommy on Purpose
RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
EBA isn't just the world's best blogging course, it is the world's best community of online content creators. Our 11,000+ alumni successful bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, influencers, authors, speakers, and even brick-and-mortar business owners, all who consistently pour back into our community and support one another. When you join EBA you are not just getting an education, you're getting a tribe. It truly is the most uplifting, encouraging, and supportive group of like-minded entrepreneurs that you will ever find.
When Jay Kruger began blogging, he had an idea of what he wanted to do. What he did not have was a plan to get there. EBA gave him the guidance that he needed and a place to connect with bloggers who understand what he is doing because they are all going through the exact same thing.
Jay has been following EBA’s framework since the very beginning of his blog. His launch month saw over 1k visitors and his traffic has only grown from there!
Like many of our students, Amanda Waterston started EBA as a total newbie, just setting up her new website, The Frugal Little House.
Still working full-time, she fought for time to work on her business but she completed her course assignments one by one, and was earning the same income from her blog as her full-time job nearly a year later!
Prior to joining EBA in 2018, Rachel Muur blogged more as a creative outlet and did not understand that she could make real money with it.
Still working full-time and being a mom of two young kids, EBA helped her turn her hobby into a profitable business the following year!
Going through EBA® helped The Debt Free Guys look at their blog as a business. David and John became crystal clear on who they were writing to, and once they did, their traffic and income followed.
Their list grew 9x and their traffic doubled! They’re now the number one personal finance blog and podcast for the LGBT community, and they’re having a blast while doing it.
MORE EBA® SUCCESS STORIES
OPPORTUNITIES I NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE
“In terms of blog growth, I went from 1,000 monthly page views to 160,000 monthly page views in under a year, which is something I never thought possible! I learned how to monetize my blog through Ruth’s various strategies and earned over $13,000 in my first year. I also created a product and started my own business, which allowed me to quit my full time job. None of these opportunities would have been possible without Elite Blog Academy®!”
— Kristin Larsen, Believe In A Budget

A NO-BRAINER DECISION FOR YOUR BUSINESS
“When we bought EBA®, we had been consistently earning money from our blogs for a few years. But it wasn't until we worked through EBA® that we realized the difference between being a blogger and creating a lifelong, sustainable business. Over the past few years we've been able to use our blogs to create a company that is bringing in passive income while we pursue our dreams. And the best part? We are using the information in EBA® to help us achieve the goals we have for our family and other businesses, not just our blogs! If you're looking to get organized and build a real business, EBA® is a no-brainer.”
—Mike & Carlie Kercheval, Fulfilling Your Vows

I DOUBLED MY PAGEVIEWS AND MY INCOME!
“I’ve been blogging on and off since 2005. I kept coming back to blogging, but I wanted to make good money, write about things I really enjoyed and have fun in the process. Was that too much to ask? At first….yes. I started Mom Fabulous and felt frustrated, confused and just about quit, AGAIN. Then I found Elite Blog Academy®. I am so glad I did! In just two months I doubled my pageviews (and it just keeps increasing!), increased my income and am actually turning Mom Fabulous into a full time job.”
—Julie Bonner, Mom Fabulous
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS IT TOO LATE TO START A BLOG?
The short answer is no, it’s not too late! Not even close.
But to really answer this question, I think it is important to define what blogging actually means, in the context of Elite Blog Academy. I define blogging as the process of producing and publishing any form of content online for the sake of establishing credibility, building rapport, and expanding your customer base.
Blogging is a powerful tool for marketing no matter what you’re selling or planning to sell. It’s the vehicle you will use to grow your audience and establish a loyal tribe of raving fans, knowing that when you can build a customer base of people who know and like and trust you, then selling to them is the easy part.
Thus, when we talk about “blogging,” we’re talking about content marketing in a broad sense. It could mean posting written content on a blog, or it could mean hosting a podcast, hosting a YouTube channel, or connecting with your audience via email. It’s really all the same thing, just delivered differently.
And this means that blogging is not only still relevant, it is actually more relevant than ever before, because people are consuming online content at a higher rate than ever before.
HOW DO I KNOW IF EBA IS RIGHT FOR ME AND MY TYPE OF BUSINESS?
EBA is designed to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for building a successful, profitable online business through content marketing, regardless of your niche, target audience, or experience level.
Whether you’re an ambitious beginner looking just to get started, an intermediate level blogger looking to break through a plateau, or a business owner already earning an income, EBA will provide the tools, support, and resources to set your business up for lasting success.
We often see newbies who worry that the content will be too advanced, as well as experienced bloggers who worry that the content will be too basic. But EBA is designed to work with you, right at the level you are at. Each assignment will push you and help you grow, regardless of where you are starting.
Believe me when I tell you that we have bloggers and business owners of every shape and size, every niche, color, and creed! If you are ready to do the work, if you want more customers and a sustainable online business, then EBA is right for you.
SO WHO IS EBA NOT FOR?
Elite Blog Academy is definitely not for anyone who just wants to “kind of” check things out. You can’t “kind of” become a successful, profitable blogger or business owner. Getting those type of results takes a commitment to succeed.
EBA is also not for anyone looking for a shortcut or “magic bullet” to success. There is no magic wand offered with this course. Instead, we offer a comprehensive, strategic framework and a step-by-step process that allows you to know exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your results.
Instead, EBA is for people who are committed to following the process. The thing our successful alumni have in common is a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get to work and to put 100% of their effort into completing the assignments in order.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A BLOG YET, CAN I STILL JOIN?
You will want to have your website set up before diving into Unit 1 of Elite Blog Academy. However, if you have not yet set up your blog, we also provide a Build Your Blog Bootcamp as a course bonus that will walk you through the basics so that you are ready to jump into the full course. More than 60% of our students don’t have a blog before joining EBA, so you will be in good company!
I AM ALREADY AN EXPERIENCED BLOGGER, IS THIS COURSE ONLY FOR BEGINNERS?
EBA is definitely not just a course for beginners! In fact, I think that advanced bloggers probably have the most to gain from EBA! A huge number of our students have gone through the course more than once, and they tell us that they get something new and different from it every single time. We find that it is a little like peeling an onion—the further you are in your blogging journey, the deeper you will be able to go!
WHAT MAKES EBA DIFFERENT?
There is no shortage of good information available about blogging and online business or marketing. In fact, in many ways, that is exactly the problem. There is so much information, so many people sharing so many ideas and saying so many different things, that it is almost impossible to sift through. In fact, the information overload becomes so overwhelming that many bloggers simply get paralyzed and can’t move forward, while others keep switching from one tactic to the next, and then wonder why they can’t find any momentum.
Elite Blog Academy is totally different because what EBA provides is a comprehensive, step-by-step, framework for success. It goes beyond tactics to provide an actual strategy—one that has been proven, through 6 years and more than 11,000 students so far—to get consistent results.
Most people aren’t all that great at strategy. They struggle to see the big picture or to lay out a plan that includes all the steps that will take them where they want to go. But without the strategy, even the best tactics won’t help you all that much, because you’ll always struggle to build momentum.
EBA is built on the idea that momentum and results come from taking small, focused action steps in the right direction. With EBA, you’ll never have to wonder whether you are on the right track because we tell you exactly what steps to take, in what order, until you get to where you want to be.
WHEN DOES EBA START? HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Because the course is hosted online, you will receive instant access as soon as you have completed your registration. The course is intended to be self-paced, and how quickly you move through the units will depend on you. On average, our students take between 9 and 18 months to complete the course material on their own. If you’d like to accelerate your process and get through the course faster, we recommend our Platinum level.
WHAT'S INCLUDED WITH MY TUITION?
Your EBA tuition gets you lifetime access to the core curriculum for the life of the EBA course, including all future course updates. In addition to our core curriculum, you’ll get access to a number of bonus trainings, partner bonuses, weekly support emails, regularly scheduled office hours, and an exclusive members-only Facebook group.
WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT? IS THERE A PAYMENT PLAN?
EBA 4.0 is available for a one-time payment of $1097 for the silver level, $1597 for gold, or $4997 for platinum.
Many of our students compare taking EBA to going to college—it’s that comprehensive, and that intense. When you put it into that context, it’s pretty incredible to consider that our tuition for EBA is less than you would pay for one semester at a community college, or even just one class at a 4-year university, and yet this one single course has the power to change your whole future.
We do offer some limited payment plans (4 payments of $297 for silver, or 5 payments of $377 for gold, or 6 payments of $947 for platinum), but because we are not a bank, we don’t have the ability to offer more flexible payment options. We encourage you to check out other options for financing! You can secure funding through a low-interest credit card (view a list HERE), or apply through PayPal Credit HERE.
IS IT WORTH UPGRADING TO GOLD? WHAT ABOUT PLATINUM?
Without a doubt, 100% YES! Our Gold level membership includes more than $2,676 in additional bonuses and learning materials that are designed to enhance everything you are learning in EBA 4.0, including our game-changing Product Launch Playbook, all videos from our ACTIVATE: EBA Live events (which are sooooooo good) along with advanced Facebook Ad training, plus our Irresistible Email and Social Boom courses. Even if you’re not quite ready to utilize all these bonuses immediately, they will be invaluable to you later on.
Our platinum level includes everything you’ll get in gold, as well as dedicated hands-on, guided instruction. You’ll meet weekly with Ruth for live instruction and feedback, and you’ll be given hard deadlines for your assignments. You’ll also meet in person for a one-day intensive that will help you get ready to grow your email list and launch your first product. If you’re the kind of person who thrives with more accountability, then our platinum level is the best way to turbocharge your progress.
HOW DO I FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE LIVE 1-DAY EVENT?
Our live EBA® Traffic School Intensive Workshop will be held on Friday, May 1st, 2020 in Punta Gorda, FL. We’ll have a cocktail reception the evening before and we STRONGLY encourage that you book yourself an extra day or two after the event for implementation. This intimate workshop is designed to help dramatically shorten your learning curve and get you up and running a whole lot faster.
There you'll have a chance to work directly with Ruth, the EBA team, and find out how to quickly grow your email list and get ready to launch your product. This in person intensive will basically replace six months of work.
I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY YET. IS EBA REALLY WORTH THE INVESTMENT?
Starting a business means being willing to invest in yourself, and we can honestly say that when it comes to starting an online business, there are few investments you can make that will be more valuable for your long term success than EBA. In fact, if you research online what our students have to say about EBA, the one thing you will find them saying over and over again is this: “EBA was the best money I ever spent on my business.”
This is because the framework we teach gets results, results that have been proven and refined since 2014, with more than 11,000 students so far.
Moreover, the fact that EBA is a serious investment actually makes it even more powerful, because you will be forced to take it seriously. Make no mistake—completing Elite Blog Academy is a lot of work, but when you are invested and committed, you will see incredible results. Don’t forget, also, that the course comes with a 100% money back guarantee. If you complete all 36 course assignments and do not see measurable growth, we’ll refund your money. We truly want nothing more than to see you succeed!
I'M ALREADY TOO BUSY. DO I REALLY HAVE TIME FOR EBA?
Like anything, if you desire change, you must commit to actually doing the work.
That said, EBA is designed to be self-paced, and to work into your schedule. Many of our most successful graduates squeezed in their course work while they were working other jobs—sometimes even more than one—as well as while they were homeschooling their kids, going to school, or taking care of their families.
You can access the course material 24 hours a day, which means you can make it work for your schedule. We recommend setting aside at least 5 hours a week to work on your course materials, but you can do more or less depending on your own schedule. In the end, what you put in is what you’ll get out.
WHAT KIND OF SUPPORT WILL I GET IN THE COURSE? WHAT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?
Most of our students will tell you that the support they receive in our incredible community is one of their favorite aspects of EBA. And I can tell you that you won’t find a more positive or supportive community of online business owners anywhere on the internet. We foster a pay-it-forward mentality, and even our most successful alumni stay engaged in the group, constantly and consistently pouring into our newer students.
I generally host office hours in the Facebook group once a week, which is your opportunity to ask me anything, and if for some reason I am traveling or unavailable, we have a guest expert available for office hours.
Not only that, my team is always available and standing by to answer questions, either in the Facebook group, via email, or via live chat right in the course website.
HOW WILL I RECEIVE MY MATERIALS?
All course materials are delivered digitally through a password-protected members-only site. As soon as you enroll, you’ll be emailed your login information with a username and password. You can then log into the site and have instant access to all course materials.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY?
No program works unless you do. If you’re expecting Elite Blog Academy, or anything else to magically solve your problems or make you money the moment you register, please do NOT sign up. This is not some “get rich quick” program, nor do we offer some top-secret formula or magic bullet that promises untold riches with no effort on your part. Plus, we actually care that you complete and implement the material provided in the course.
In order to be eligible for a refund for our full course, Elite Blog Academy 4.0, you must submit your completed homework for all 36 assignments by 365 days from your purchase date. You can send your fully completed assignments to [email protected].
WILL I GET ACCESS TO FUTURE VERSIONS OF THE COURSE?
Yes! Your enrollment to EBA gives you access to our core curriculum (Units 1-12) through the lifetime of the course, which includes all future course updates. (And since the tuition for EBA keeps going up, it is definitely a good idea to enroll now, rather than later!)
WHAT IF I HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?
Our team is standing by! Just click on the chat box on your screen to chat with a member of our team in real time. Otherwise just contact my team at [email protected] and we’ll be glad to touch base with you!
IF I AM NOT READY NOW, WHEN WILL I HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO ENROLL? AND WILL THE TUITION BE GOING UP?
Our next public enrollment period for EBA will happen next March. As in previous years, our tuition will most likely go up at that time. If you’re sure you want to join EBA in the next year, we highly recommend enrolling now.
