What People Are Saying

Chelsea’s book is not only well done and informative but hopeful. As a blogger myself I went into it a little depressed that I was not making nearly as much as her, and by the end I was excited, optimistic, and ready to stop my moping and go to work. Her style of writing is friendly and authoritative. Her information solid. She shares practical tips and tutorials, while guiding you through her personal experience with blogging. Although much of the information is relatively basic, and for the beginning blogger, there are gems to be found for even advanced bloggers. I had an index card full of notations of things I wanted to work on by the time I was done.

If you are just starting out and want to do things “right”, hit a slump and need some perspective, or want to get motivated to push yourself to new blogging heights, this is a great read.

I stumbled upon Chelsea's ebook through a Pinterest pin while searching for blogging advice and I am so happy I did. It was my first investment in my blog and in myself and it's been worth every penny! I took pages of notes reading through her material and it felt like I was sitting at Starbucks chatting with a dear friend who was generously revealing all her secrets to me!

Chelsea goes into detail on how to:
1. Plan your blog & stay organized
2. Find amazing ideas for content
3. Get traffic and monetize your blog

And so many more really personal nuggets of gold that you can't find searching the internet. It shows her personal journey step by step from $44 a month to over $7,000 a month. I was happily surprised when I opened the ebook and saw it was almost 200 pages of pure blogging advice!

After implementing many of her strategies I've been able to make $200 my first month of blogging! And it's growing. Thank you Chelsea for taking the time to put this ebook together! It's a valuable resource for anyone starting out a blog.

I can't say enough good things about this book! Chelsea did an outstanding job at laying out absolutely everything you need to know to start and grow a successful blog. She gives a unique behind-the-scenes look at how Chelsea's Messy Apron developed into the successful business it is today. Her writing is clear and easy to understand, and her thorough explanations bring clarity to every aspect of blogging.
