My Honest Review of Launch Your Blog Biz by Create and Go

This post may contain affiliate links, read my disclaimer for more info.

When I had finally finished designing my website and launched my blog, I thought I could easily figure out the monetization part myself. It seemed simple, I knew I could earn money with my blog through affiliate marketing.

For six months, I was trying to find a way to get more visitors to my website, experimenting with Pinterest, and thinking about other ways of how I could possibly monetize my blog.

But I got stuck. There is so much that goes into blogging, it’s almost like a juggling act. I felt so lost, and I didn’t know in what direction I had to go or what steps I had to take to realize my dream.

In the beginning I thought I simply had to focus on writing, creating pins and my website design.

However, I soon realized there was much more I needed to do to make my blog profitable. SEO, creating legal pages and disclaimers, email marketing, Facebook groups, creating my own products, and also: I didn’t know where to find the right affiliate products.

After six months of being stubborn, I decided to buy a course that would teach me how to monetize my blog step-by-step. Now, I can be quite hesistant when it comes to investing in myself or in my business.

For a few weeks I did research on who Alex & Lauren were, I spoke to people who had already enrolled in the course, and I looked at some other courses.

So after all this research, I finally bought two of their courses: Launch Your Blog Biz and Six-Figure Blogger.
I have just finished the first course, and I am not exaggertaing when I say that this was the best investment I made for my business yet.

Keep reading until the end if you also want to know some more about the Six-Figure Blogger course.

WHO ARE ALEX & LAUREN AND WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST THEM?​

Alex & Lauren are the duo behind Create and Go. They earn six figures with their two very succesful blogs: Avocado and Create and Go.

Before launching these two blogs, they had a lot of trial and error. Through these initial failures they learnt how to succesfully launch a blog the right way.

Avocadu was their first succesful blog, and by the end of the first year, they had made $103,467.98 with their blog and became digital nomads.

With their second blog, Create and Go, they had 30,000+ monthly viewers by their third month. Currently, they earn over $50,000 per month with this blog alone!

Alex and Lauren are very transparent people, which is actually the main reason why so many people love them. They also regularly post a Blog Income Report where you can see proof of their income AND get even more motivated to bring your blog to the next level.

I mean, why reinvent the wheel when you can learn from experts that have already made the mistakes for you?

IS THIS COURSE FOR YOU?​

  • This course is for you if...
  • You want to have more freedom.
  • You would love to make money online but are feeling overwhelmed.
  • You have no idea how to make money blogging, or what to write about.
  • You are a beginner blogger.
  • You are motivated. Even if you're busy, you can make this work - as long as you are super motivated!

The pros and cons of Launch Your Blog Biz

  • What I love about this course:
  • It is very easy to follow and easy to navigate through the course.
  • It is very comprehensive. They guide you through all the steps you have to take. From buying your domain to driving traffic and monetization.
  • They give very in-depth information on how to drive traffic to your website for free.
  • Alex & Lauren provide you with email templates that will help you massively with creating your first email marketing strategy.
  • You get access to a private community support group where you can connect with fellow bloggers, ask questions or watch (live) videos from Alex & Lauren.
  • You get lifetime access to the course and they update the course regularly, since the world of blogging is changing all the time.
  • What was missing for me:
  • If you have already built your website, you can skip some of the lessons in the WordPress modules. Personally I had already created my blog with Elementor. However, it was still good for me to go over these basics to check if I did everything correctly.
  • I would have liked to learn a bit more about Instagram. Even though these days it's hard to drive traffic to your website from Instagram, I still think it would have been nice if they covered this social media platform a bit more.
My Honest Review Of Launch Your Blog Biz Course-min

What is so special about this course?

Besides learning from two experts who are already six-figure bloggers through a super comprehensive, step-by-step course, there are also a few bonuses that make this course extra special.

  • Number one being the Affiliate Programs and Marketplaces Round-Up ($97 value). Finding good affiliate programs can be super overwhelming and time-consuming in the beginning. This list will save you a lot of time, since the best affiliate networks are already on this list!
  • The Email Trust Funnels Templates ($297 value). If you have never tried email marketing before, it might be a bit daunting to write your first email sales funnel. No worries! These templates will guide you through it and give you more confidence.
  • I love this one: The Community Support Group ($47/month value). First of all it's super nice to connect with fellow bloggers, and to be able to ask questions when you are feeling stuck or are confused about something. Not only that, this will also be the place where you will hear about changes in the blogging world, or updates in the courses.
  • You have a lifetime access to the course and they will continue to update the course if anything changes in the blogging world (which happens all the times).

Is it worth the money?

100% YES! My blog traffic has grown exponentially since I purchased the course – after only four months, I already had 15X as much traffic. Update: now, six months after I started with the course…. my traffic has multiplied by 306. Yep, I still can’t believe it either.

So the price for the Launch Your Blog Biz course is only $297. Which is actually really cheap if you consider all the value that is provided.

And of course, I know… sometimes it is difficult to get out of that comfort zone and make an investment. But if you are willing to put in the work, you can easily earn back that investment.

If you are still doubting if you should by the course or not, definitely reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help and answer some of your questions.
