What People Are Saying
Graduates of the Sticky Blogging family of courses include more than 4,000 bloggers spanning every niche. Here are a few of their stories…
As I was working on my goals earlier this year, I was thinking about what changed everything for me. For some perspective, my first year blogging I made $2,000, which was so frustrating because of all the time and work I put into it.
But then towards the end of that year, I took Sticky Blogging, and what Kelly taught me is what changed everything.
Applying the Sticky Blogging strategy has helped me in my growth, and my second year of blogging I grew my income by nearly 20 times. That's 20x growth in one year. The next year, I made well over six figures!

When I first started blogging, so many of my posts fell flat. I felt stumped and wondered what I was doing wrong.
While taking the Sticky Blogging master class, my eyes opened. I started to actually connect with my readers. After several big shares on social media and a viral post, I was sold. Kelly’s course was the knowledge I needed to take my blog to the next level.
Since taking her course, my page views grew by 5x.

I've been a professional blogger for more than five years, so it's not like I'm a newbie or anything. Still, after taking the Sticky Blogging master class, I completely revised my entire writing process.
While taking the full course, I had a couple of important sponsored posts lined up. I decided to take some of Kelly's concepts for a spin. After finishing my first “sticky” post, I emailed the agency to let them know I was ready for revisions.
The agency's response? The client is blown away. There's not a single revision. Please share it as soon as possible. That's almost unheard of; brands always have revisions.
Needless to say, I've used Sticky Blogging strategies in every single sponsored post on my schedule since then. When you take the time to wow an agency, they offer you sponsored work again and again. Repeat clients pave the road to financial success.
In today's online environment, it can feel nearly impossible for new bloggers to catch the attention of brands. Follow Sticky Blogging guidelines in your day-to-day writing, and you'll stand out. This is how to leave your competition in the dust.

People were not sticking around to read my posts. I even told myself, “People just want the photos, so the writing doesn't matter. No one reads blogs.”
Boy, was I wrong.
People still read blogs. Yes, they want your photos, recipes, and instructions. But if the writing doesn't hit the mark, people will give the whole enchilada a thumbs down. They won't stick around and read all the way to the end.
And so after 12 years of blogging, I did something that might sound a little crazy. I signed up for a blogging course: the Sticky Blogging master class.
The results after updating just one post? I got more than double the traffic the same post got a year earlier. And all I did was update that post using the strategies I learned in Kelly's course.
This course changed the way I plan my content, how I write my email newsletters, my process for coming up with headlines, how much time I spend blogging (it's way less!), and so much more.
The people I drive to my blog from Pinterest are now sticking around. Return users are increasing month-over-month according to Google Analytics. And my email list grew 25 percent in the last 4 months!

I'd been blogging since 2009 and I'm a writer by profession, so I worried Sticky Blogging would just cover concepts I knew already. But I was in an awful blogging rut, and I decided to take a chance. After lesson one, I knew the course would be well worth it.
One of the first posts I made “sticky” had been dead for a long time. In the three previous years, it got about 1,000 pageviews. Not 1,000 a month – that's the total over three years. So I took less than an hour to revamp the post using what we'd covered in the course, and this year I'm averaging nearly 4,000 pageviews a month just to that one post. That's 148x growth! Plus, it's loaded up with affiliate links so it makes me some extra money. Now, that post is consistently in my top 10-15 posts.
Sticky Blogging has also transformed how I approach writing emails to my list and sales copy for my products. Before the course, I especially struggled to write sales pages. Then for the most recent product I launched, I used the Sticky Blogging principles to write the sales page and sales emails. I sold more copies of that new product in one week than I sold all last year for the last product I launched.
I have bought and not taken plenty of courses, believe me. But something about Kelly and the way she presents information clicked with me. I committed to it, put it on my calendar, and embraced my inner overachieving front-row student. It's a testament to how effective Kelly is as a teacher and a motivator. This course lit a much-needed fire under me about blogging and made me feel excited about blogging again—and that is priceless.

I had been blogging for more than nine years, and I'd hit a wall. Writing had become a chore. So I decided to sign up for Sticky Blogging to see if it could help. And by the time I had gone through the pre-work module—before class even officially started—I was feeling excited about my blog again.
It's been one year since I finished the course, and I'm still using the Sticky Blogging techniques. I feel so much more relaxed when writing blog posts and emails, now that I have a step-by-step process. The printouts are an absolute time-saver. Now when I hear back from readers, it's clear they're engaging more deeply with my content. Plus, my blogging friends think I'm a whiz with headlines!
Sticky Blogging gave me a huge boost of confidence plus a clear strategy for what I didn't know or wasn't sure of. Writing is so much easier now that I have a proven framework.

When I first took Kelly's free workshop, I remember thinking that these techniques couldn't possibly work in my niche. But after close friends recommended the full master class, I took a chance and signed up. As soon as I got inside the course, I realized Sticky Blogging really does work for every niche. It's about honing your craft as a writer. So much of what I learned is applicable to any kind of writing I may do in the future — email newsletters, sales landing pages, social media posts, and more.
This is the first blogging course I've ever taken that I have completed start to finish. I was excited about the lessons because they're relevant to what I'm doing every day, whether for my own site or other writing that I do. Each lesson was presented in a manageable chunk with clear, doable action steps. I highly recommend the Sticky Blogging master course to other bloggers. Kelly is now on my short list (she's one of two people on it!) of course instructors whose course content I can trust to be excellent, sight unseen.
I loved the layout of the course and appreciated how active Kelly was in the private course community. Since taking Sticky Blogging, I've taken three other online courses, and they made me realize how well-organized the Sticky Blogging course is. I didn't realize I was spoiled!

Signing up for the Sticky Blogging master class is the best decision I ever made to further my venture into blogging. Other courses promise a lot but don't deliver – this one delivers.
Each lesson takes only a few minutes to complete but is jam-packed with helpful information. I must admit that before each class, I wasn't always sure there was more I could learn on a particular topic – but boy, was I wrong! Kelly's insight is invaluable and definitely helped me become a better writer and blogger. She takes the time to respond to students personally via a private community, where students can support and learn from each other as well.
I highly recommend signing up for Sticky Blogging to move your blog to the next level. I use what I learned every time I write a new post. This course is worth every penny.

Because of Kelly's Sticky Blogging course, I'm over chasing page views. Been there, done that. You'll never have enough page views, but if you're connecting with your true fans, that's all you need.
There's a huge difference between “here's a recipe” and that feeling of sitting down in your living room with your girlfriends, passing around your favorite recipes that really work for your family. It's the connection. And I've seen firsthand that one “sticky” post is more valuable to me than three or four that aren't.

Kelly has mastered the art of capturing – and keeping – a reader’s attention. Her Sticky Blogging course is the perfect example. The trainings are full of practical suggestions and advice, and her conversational writing style will have you engaged in the learning process without feeling overwhelmed.
I love how easy it is to read one of Kelly’s trainings and implement the technique on my own blog right away. Instantly improving my writing and encouraging my readers to stick around!
