Finally, get your blog going. Get your message out to the world.

Brilliance Bloggers Club, an online blogging support community

You're an entrepreneur, not a blogger.
But you need to blog to grow authority, credibility, and "know, like, and trust."

This is especially true if you're in an industry where YOU are your brand, or where whatever differentiation you can manage is to be had in content marketing.


People read blogs. I read blogs. YOU read blogs. So do your prospects. 


You want to feel PROUD to send them to your blog. You want your blog to be filled with excellent content, content that has them reading and thinking things like this:


  • OMG he's telling it just like it is.
  • Wow, I never thought of it that way....
  • Yes, this is exactly what I need to hear.
  • Why is no one else saying this?
  • OMG she's brilliant! I want to hire her!


They'll read your blog posts and sign up for a discovery session. 


They'll download your thoughtfully, artfully crafted lead magnet, which happens to be tucked within a blog post on the same topic.


They'll join your tribe when you offer the invite, which just happens to be positioned right at the end of every blog post.


They'll become part of your tribe so you can send them content that makes them think, makes them smile, makes them grow, AND, if there's a fit between what they need and what you offer, content that leads them to buy!

Yipee!! Thanks to this group I am more intentional about my writing and someone who has been on my list for a long time joined my year-long journey BECAUSE of the Beltane article I sent Monday!! Thank you Renae and everyone else holding space here!

The thing is ... even if you agree ... even if you say, "Yes, I need to blog," ... ... could you? Could you establish and maintain a steady blogging cadence, the heartbeat of your business? Ba dump. Ba bump. Blog post. Ba dump. Ba bump. Blog post. Ba dump. Ba bump. Blog post. 

If you've been blogging (or wanting to blog) for any length of time, then you KNOW the struggle to blog consistently.


We start off strong, and with good intentions:


  • I'm going to blog once a week!
  • I'll get up 30 minutes earlier to blog!
  • I'll write 500 words a day!
  • I'll ... I'll ... I'll ...

But then work and life come barging in like a freight train that's just run out of tracks.


AAAAAHHHHHHH! CRASH. BURN.


"Blogging? What blogging?" we say. "I've got to deal with THIS first!"


The thing is ... it's okay to have ups and downs in our blogging. What's not okay is when the down just keeps going...


Down


Down


Down


... until our blogging is at a standstill, mocking us, judging us, making us feel like lousy, pathetic humans who deserve nothing more than to ....


Oh.


Sorry! I got carried away there!


Anyway, the point is ... we want to blog ... we want to keep blogging ... we want to blog consistently so we stay visible and so our content and messages stay out there.


It's just not ever been easy to do.


UNTIL NOW.


Renae, so far you have motivated me to finally start writing, which is huge! I think the structure is key for me. I had some time yesterday, so I wrote two blogs, one was the one I was planning to write and the other was the one based on the cards you pulled. Thank you so much....

Enter the Brilliant Bloggers Club.

Brilliance Bloggers Club, an online blogging support community

A safe space to build your blogging muscle, know-how, and confidence. 

I'm starting to write down topics every day on things that inspire me... and more so, how can I help educate on health and wellness in a way that doesn't get lost in the abyss of everyone else's posts, blogs and opinions? I simply love that I get to start somewhere, in a safe place...

Erin Wrennick Boaz

You and me. Month by month. Brilliant blogging.

I'm so excited to invite you to become a founding member of the Brilliant Bloggers Club, a membership community for entrepreneurs and business-owning bloggers who want ongoing support to keep the blog fires blazing.


See, here's the thing. 


You might know what you need to do to keep blogging.


It's like knowing that you should be on that treadmill every day.


You don't need to hire another coach who's going to tell you to use that treadmill.


You just need to prioritize. You need to get off your a . . . hiney and do it!


Same thing here.


You know you need to blog.


You don't need new content.


You need new DOING. New ACTION. New ACCOUNTABILITY. New SUPPORT.


And you'll get all of that, and MORE, in the Brilliant Blogger's Club.

I will be posting my last round of blogs here. I have 28 of the 30 ready. Just two more to write! This has been an amazing  month and I appreciate you all so much. Thank you Renae Rost Gregoire!

Nicki Thiel


What's included in the
Brilliant Bloggers Club?

Daily blogging prompts

Every morning, by email and in our private Facebook group, you'll receive new blogging prompts to keep your creativity flowing all day, every day. Hello creativity, goodbye writer's block!

Weekly post assignments

This is where the pen hits the paper, or where the real work happens. Each week, receive a blog post assignment that gets you consistently blogging your brilliance.  

Weekly virtual work sessions

Put distractions on hold each week for a two-hour virtual work session via Zoom. With cameras on (or off, if you prefer) and audio off, work alongside fellow bloggers to get your weekly blog post DONE. 

Twice-monthly calls for questions and live editing

Twice each month, we'll meet together for a live Zoom call. Watch and listen in as I evaluate as many BBC members' posts as I can in two hours. Editing + community = fun + big learning for all.

Quarterly workshops & guest speakers/interviews

Once each quarter, I'll hold a workshop to share the latest and greatest - whatever will help you write better, blog better, sell more! I'll also interview bright minds and bring in guest speakers to help you grow. 

Monthly screen shares

Once a month, I'll host a Facebook Live where I'll share my screen and walk you through a plug-in, tool, or technique. These screen shares will be driven by you, so let me know what you'd like to see!

Blog-share opportunities

Use specific threads to post your requests to 1) be or recruit guest bloggers, 2) give and receive comments on others' blogs, and 3) request the all-important link shares.

Blog Your Brilliance


Imagine if you hooked one end of a data cable to my brain, and the other end of the cable to yours. 


Inside the room labeled "blogging," you find file cabinets and folders overflowing with pieces of paper, sticky notes, printouts, and images--everything I know about blogging.


There's an intro folder that covers bloggy lingo and other blogging basics. And another folder all about the editorial calendar--how to create one strategically, so that it aligns with the outcomes you want in your business. Then there's the audience--who the heck are you writing for, anyway? And what do THEY want?


You see a folder on the nuts and bolts of writing, along with writerly tricks for better writing. You discover where to get ideas--how to create unique content that no one else on the 'net can replicate.


Like I said. It's my brain on blogging.


Everything I've learned since 2002 while working with and blogging for solopreneurs, the owners of mom-and-pop shops, service-based professionals, coaches, consultants, startup CEOs, and marketing executives at small and large businesses. 


I've packed all of that up, tossed the rubbish, dusted off the good stuff, organized it, made it pretty, and called it Blog Your Brilliance.

long-arrow-down



It's about MORE than the mechanics.
Blog Your Brilliance is about YOU.

A lot of blogging programs out there ... MOST programs, for that matter ... focus solely on the mechanics of blogging. 


  • How to set up a blog
  • How to design your blog
  • How to choose keywords
  • How to write great blog titles
  • How to choose images
  • How to create an editorial calendar
  • How to handle the whole SEO thing
  • How to promote your content
  • And on, and on, and on


There are 1,000,001 blog-related topics out there to learn. (I've been blogging since the early 2000's, and I still don't know it all!) 


You CAN learn those how-tos and mechanics anywhere. You don't need Blog Your Brilliance for that. (Although I do think I make learning that content fun in my own, unique, crazy way!)


What I think you DO need Blog Your Brilliance for is the focus on training and guidance -- almost like mentorship -- that's missing from those other programs. You need Blog Your Brilliance to get a focus on YOU.



It's about you blogging strategically.


What's missing from other programs is -- FIRST -- a focus on YOU in terms of your business. On your messaging. On figuring out what your readers WANT and NEED to hear. On figuring out what you want your blog to do for YOUR business. And then mapping those two together so that you satisfy their needs and wants while achieving the goals you have for your business. We do that in Blog Your Brilliance.

Thank you all! Renae, yes, love your feedback, I have already thought about adding in a couple things and appreciate your guidance. I think today/tomorrow will work on editing and upleveling my 1st two blogs. Love this ... getting me to take action. Yeah!

Michelle Kennedy Rembert


It's about you blogging brilliantly.


Another missing piece is -- SECOND -- a focus on YOU in terms of your brilliance. And in terms of BLOGGING your brilliance. Do you know what your brilliance is? Can you identify what makes you uniquely qualified to offer the products and services you sell? Can you sprinkle bits of that brilliance on every blog post you write? Yep. We'll cover that, too.

Thank you for the wonderful gift Renae! I have enjoyed the blogging challenge. It sparked me into writing about my work.

Caroline Karp


It's about you blogging confidently.


And the final missing piece is -- THIRD -- a focus on YOU in terms of your writing ability and writing confidence.  As a highly skilled and experienced marketing editor (yep - I'm owning it!), I'll gently and lovingly point you in the "write" direction. This will happen inside specific threads in our private Facebook group, where you'll have the opportunity to ask for and receive feedback on your work. 

You are amazingly talented! One of the mad skills I see is your ability to teach in such a way that we each believe, 'Oh, I can do that!' This is the 'more' you have been calling to you! Own it, girlfriend!!!

Rozlyn Warren

[Your comments] make me feel confident in my writing yet make me look at it with a critical eye ... not just settle for whatever I can bang out. I have always loved the written word and a goal I set as a child was to become a published author. I am reigniting that flame!

Nicke Thiel


The focus on your writing will also happen during our weekly Q&A / Live Editing sessions, where you'll get to watch me edit blog posts LIVE, and listen to me as I share what's going on in my mind when making changes. I know from client experiences that working with a marketing editor can amp up your writing skills and writing confidence BIG TIME, so I know you'll find this component of Blog Your Brilliance valuable as well.  




What's included in Blog Your Brilliance?

Kickoff call. The modules, yours for all eternity. A private Facebook group to interact with me and your peers. DAILY blogging prompts. Weekly Q&A / live-editing group calls. AND MORE.

BONUS! Strategic kickoff

You and I will spend 30 mins mapping out where your blog needs to go during the program. We'll create a blogging plan, and you'll work it with my guidance.

A private Facebook group

Yeah, yeah ... can't have an online program without a Facebook group! Ours is no different. Ask questions, meet fellow bloggers, and share your work. 

NEW BLOG POSTS!

BONUS: For a limited time, also get the Blog Post Inspiration Deck!

More than 8,000 ideas. 

Endless inspiration.


How many times have you wondered, "What should I write about?!?"


Wonder no more. Use the Blog Post Inspiration Deck whenever you need inspiration for your blog, email newsletter, guest posts, vlog, and social media channels.


Inside the box, you’ll find three categories of 20 cards each:

  • 20 TYPE cards — TYPE represents a type of post, like a what-if post or a how-to post.
  • 20 TOPIC cards — TOPIC represents a specific idea for the content of the post, such as something funny that happened or a customer question.
  • 20 VIBE cards — VIBE represents the spirit of a post, like abundance or flexibility; the vibe can represent the spirit from which you create the post, the spirit you wish readers to feel as they read or view it, or even the topic itself if that’s what comes to mind.


All together, the deck gives you 20 x 20 x 20 — or 8,000 — possible content ideas, enough to keep you generating a piece of content a day for the next 22 years! (Granted, that’s unlikely to happen, but it’s still cool to think about!)

Even more important though, The Blog Post Inspiration Deck gives you endless INSPIRATION.

Guidebook included in the box gets you up and playing right away. And a longer, in-depth, downloadable Inspiration Ebook gives you detailed descriptions of each TYPE, TOPIC, and VIBE, as well as examples of how to use each of them to develop your posts.

Thanks, Renae. I didn't realize that you would be giving so much editing advice - and I really appreciate your time and energy on that. I have become much more conscious of my writing even with my rough drafts. I am grateful for just having the accountability to work on something every day even if I may not publish it. Writing is one of those things that you get better at as you do it.

Are you someone who thinks, "I'm not a good writer"? If so, then Blog Your Brilliance and the Brilliant Bloggers Club are PERFECT for you because I'm a marketing writer and editor by trade. As we work together, you'll see and hear me recommend changes to and create content.

And improving your craft builds your confidence--and your readers' confidence in you. When you write better, with the reader in mind, you'll improve more than words. You'll improve readability, usability, and trust, all of which lead to better results.

No, she didn't write this recommendation, but I would have had her do so!

Renae is simply fantastic at writing and editing. She takes extra steps to ensure that she grasps the facts and nuances of your business and message. She also puts structure around your thoughts and challenges you to improve your thinking, messaging, positioning, and overall marketing. No, she didn't write this recommendation, but I would have had her do so!

Marya Ulis  //  Chief Marketing Officer

Renae is a throwback to a time when craftspeople weren't satisfied until their work was done right.

Renae is a throwback to a time (that probably exists only in legend) when craftspeople weren't satisfied until their work was done right. She did absolutely everything I asked, and a great deal more, to ensure I was happy with the project. I expect top work but it was a very pleasant surprise to learn that Renae clearly cared about the success of my project.

J.D. Sallen  // CEO

Talk about "beyond expectations!"

Renae, talk about "beyond expectations!" I can't thank you enough for your work on behalf of my consulting business. While your overall skill and professionalism are outstanding, there are two specific areas that truly stand out. First, your focused expertise in BOTH writing and marketing brings to the table great value for clients (like me) who need integrated support. Second, I am extremely impressed by your ability to get "inside" and understand a business with which you are initially unfamiliar. Not only do you succeed here, but your deep interest in learning about my new business really shined through.

3 important things you'll want to know

It's not easy to hand over oodles of money to a stranger on the Internet. Even if I'm not a stranger to you, you might still find it hard to decide to invest in yourself and your business in this particular way. Hey, I won't be offended if you prefer to take any one of ... what ... hundreds? ... of blogging courses out there on the Internet.


What I offer through Blog Your Brilliance is five weeks' worth of training and knowledge on blogging, weekly calls and interaction inside of our private Facebook group, gentle support to help you improve your writing and your blog. That's in addition to six months of working closely together inside Brilliant Bloggers Club.


Now, for the three things:

book

01

For Blog Your Brilliance to work, you have to work it. You will have homework, although not too much. Your main work inside Blog Your Brilliance will be to complete your weekly blog post assignments, share them inside the group, and read and comment on other participants' work. If you don't commit to doing the work, then Blog Your Brilliance may wind up as one of those sad courses on your computer trying to convince you that you're a bad, bad human. 

book

02

The minimum length (per the people who study this stuff) for your blog posts is 300 words. However, I do recommend that you aim for at least 500 words. If you can do it, 750. And, even better, 1,000. One thousand words fills two pages of 12-point type single-spaced, which is enough to fill your About page, one landing or sales page, one small ebook, a series of up to four emails, a thorough blog post, a manifesto, or a downloadable report. You can do some serious marketing with 1,000 well-written, easy-to-read words!

book

03

Sorry, payment plans are not available. Although I understand cash flow woes, I can't offer payment plans because the program lasts only five weeks. 

The Best Time to Kickstart Your Blog is NOW.

Your ideal prospects are out there on the Web, searching for exactly what you have to offer. But they'll never know what it is you offer ... you'll never connect with them ... you'll never attract them ... if you lack the blog content that does those things for you. Now is the time.
