How to Start a Profitable Blog Course - Day Five.
Day 5: Getting Real Results & Your Next Steps to a Profitable, Freedom-Filled Life
Welcome to Day 5! Take a breath and give yourself a huge pat on the back for making it this far. Most “wannabe bloggers” never sign up for a free challenge like this, let alone make it to day five! You signed up to build your entire blog foundation in under a week. That’s huge.
Over the last few days, we’ve:
Chosen your domain name & set up WordPress— so you have a real, live home for your dreams.
Dressed your site up with a theme—so it doesn’t look like the plain default “Hello World!” blog.
Published your first post—conquering that “What if nobody reads this?” fear.
Laid out basic monetization—so your blog can actually bring in money (yes, even early on).
Now you’re here, on Day 5, asking the big question: “How do I attract my first real readers, and keep building until this actually pays the bills? Today, we’ll tackle two biggies:
Traffic basics—so your message reaches the right people without you living online 24/7.
Mindset magic—because technology isn’t the only thing that fuels success; you also need confidence, clarity, and a dash of “I can totally do this.”
Start with One “Superpower” Channel
Start with your one social media platform of choice.
My platform of choice is Pinterest. I like to call Pinterest a “superpower” for new bloggers. It’s not a fussy, overpopulated social platform where you have to dance and lip‐sync to get attention—it’s a search engine that thrives on helpful, visual content. Whether you’re blogging about fitness tips, kid‐friendly meal prep, home DIY, budgeting, or travel, Pinterest is a gold mine for attracting people actually looking for what you share.
For you whether it’s Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, don’t spread yourself too thin. If you can only do one platform well, that’s enough to start. If you love creating short, fun videos? Lean into Reels or TikTok. If you prefer still images and stories, rock Instagram. The goal is to show up where your dream readers hang out and give them a reason to pop over to your blog.
Don’t Forget Some Simple SEO
Search engines like Google might feel intimidating, but do these quick wins right now, and you’ll thank yourself six months from now:
Use an SEO plugin like Yoast or Rank Math to guide you.
Sprinkle relevant keywords in your titles and headings. (e.g., “How to Plan a Stress-Free Kid’s Birthday Party” does better than “My Thoughts on Parties.”)
Write for humans not just for robots—engaging, easy-to-read posts rank better in the long run.
Mindset—Because You’re More Capable Than You Think
Let’s get real for a second: We can talk strategy all day, but if your mind is swirling with self-doubt—“Am I good enough?” “Will anyone care?”—you’ll freeze up or quit before the magic happens. So here’s your daily permission slip to be unapologetically ambitious.
Remember Your Why: More time at home with your kids? Escaping that stressful 9–5? Extra money for a fun family vacation or that dream Disney trip? Write down your motivation and stick it somewhere you’ll see it daily.
Celebrate Small Wins: The first Pinterest click, the first blog comment, the first time you mention your affiliate link— celebrate that! Business is built on micro‐milestones that snowball into big results.
You’re Not Alone: Every successful blogger started exactly where you are. Even the ones pulling in 6 or 7 figures spent late nights Googling, “How do I install a WordPress plugin?!” So if you’re feeling behind, trust me, you’re not. You’re right on track.
What Happens After Day 5?
You now have the basics. But if you truly want to go from “I have a blog” to “I have a profitable, freedom-filled online business,” there’s a next step that can fast‐track your growth—Blog Success Starter.

I Learned the Hard Way (So You Don’t Have To)
I remember exactly what it felt like to start from zero. I wasn’t born knowing how to optimize a blog or grow on Pinterest; I learned it through trial, error, and some messy attempts. And guess what? I turned those lessons into strategies that actually work. I’m not here to sell you a dream—I’m here to show you the roadmap to make it happen, step by step.
Busy? I get your busy life, whether you’re juggling kids, a demanding job, or just too many ideas swirling in your head. (I was a full-time nursing student, and working while I built my blog. Now I’m a busy toddler mom juggling this blog and 100 other things so I can teach you how to work through any crazy season in your life.)
Don’t want to waste time?: Before I figured out how to make six-figures with my blog, I spent a lot of time making nothing. I spent months doing research, spending every free moment I had deep in Google Searches and watching YouTube tutorials all just to have to start back at square one when I couldn’t figure it out. I wasted that time so you don’t have to. I’ve built my own six-figure blogging business from scratch, so I know exactly what not to do.
Straight to the point: I hate dry, complicated “corporate” language. I’m about practical steps you can enjoy doing. If you can handle a bit of tough love with a big side of encouragement, you’ll thrive.
