Do you dream of being your own boss? Or to maybe just work from home?
How does working online and living your life location-independent sound?
Wouldn't it be great to make a living from simply blogging or working online?
Did you know that you could be running a website and be anywhere in the world, like a cafe in Paris, a beach in the Caribbean or hiking a trail in New Zealand, and it would be working for you the entire time?! I'm a travel writer and photographer with over ten years of online, marketing, photography and design experience. This was once my dream as well, but now dream has transformed into reality - and the same can happen for you too!
Whether it's your dream to become an online business owner, or if you already have a blog, my blog coaching and design services will help you take your work to the next level! My meetings are arranged via Skype, phone or by email, and offer thorough personal advice and specialized planning, with focus on monetization and traffic optimization of your project.
 


"I was initially hesitant to invest in blog coaching but knew our site needed a ton of help so I finally went for it. I was happily surprised at how helpful Brandon was and the time he had taken to fully explore our site before we spoke. The advertising contacts paid off within 24 hours and we couldn't be happier about it. Our blog has picked up tremendous momentum since working with Brandon - onward and upward!"
          –Jeff Johns, Travel blogger

 
Anybody can start a blog, and every 1 in 6 people around the world already have, but it’s so rare to create a blog that encourages repeat visits, builds a loyal following, and even becomes a source of revenue. Now that’s playing a whole different game. Creating a successful blog takes lots of time, solid hard work, and real expertise. The great news is that it doesn’t have to be a pipe dream – it’s not just possible, it’s entirely achievable.

I’ve achieved great results with my own blog (here at EyeAndPen.com), to the point where it sustains my living, and traveling, but I’ve made hundreds of mistakes along the way and I’ve had to swallow my pride just as often. If you’re an aspiring blogger and you feel scared of going at it all alone, I offer my years of expertise for you to lean on, so that you can ramp up the success of your blog at a hurtling speed. As long as you bring your top focus and passion, there is no reason why your blog can’t achieve astounding results as well.

If you’re just starting out, I can help you with blog fundamentals such as branding your blog and finding a tone of voice, while also designing your blog’s look and feel to achieve maximum engagement. Once we’ve laid the foundation of your blog with great content, we can focus on attracting people to your work. I’ll be on hand to help your blog receive repeat visits from loyal followers via advanced social media and SEO practices that aren’t nearly as scary as you might think.

Whether you have a travel, foodie, tech, or lifestyle blog, engaging content and high traffic will lead you on the road to monetization. But when you are starting out, it’s not easy to know how you can make money from your website. Thousands of bloggers are making money, and you can too, through sponsorship, advertising and creating your own moneymaking products and services. Together, we can explore the best avenues for transforming your hobby into your living.

My blog coaching service is entirely personal; I have a number of tailored packages that all include one-on-one coaching with me so that you can get through the nitty gritty of making your blog a success. So, let’s get started and make your blog truly great!

I will be YOUR COACH for a lifetime! You can ask me anything, anytime, whenever you need some help...


"Brandon is a great coach, whose own accomplishments are evident through his knowledge and passion to help you excel.

"I just completed a couple of months working with Brandon and cannot say enough about his work! Brandon walked me through how to take my passion and make it profitable – while helping others as well! He then built and branded an AMAZING website based on my preferred style and goals – for a FRACTION of the cost that many other professionals charge!
Brandon is an endless well-spring of honest and priceless ideas and knowledge. He has been instrumental in opening the door to a whole new way of thinking for me – as a passionate candle artisan. I would not hesitate to recommend Brandon to ANYONE – whether you're starting from the beginning OR would just like a fresh, honest take on how to tastefully dress-up and modernize the work you've already done. And I definitely plan to employ him further for assistance on utilizing social media in monetizing my site!"

          –Lisa H. Morrow, Divine Lights

"Brandon is a web genius - he designed Seaspray's website quickly and efficiently but also managed to capture the essence of the business with his creativity.  Always ready and willing to help answer queries day or night, I would highly recommend his services to everyone."
          –Patzy Dalby, Sea Spray

"Brandon recently helped out with my website, and I found him to be very down to earth and accessible. He offered some great advice which I'm now implementing. Looking forward to working with him again in the near future."
          –Manfred, Renegade Travels
"I couldn't be happier that I hired Brandon as my blog coach and web developer.  He went way beyond just making a nicer-looking webpage for me - he asked great questions that helped me clarify what I am offering to world and brand myself in a way that drew more traffic to my site.  He was both personal and professional, always prompt, and delightfully creative!  I would recommend him to anyone looking to take their site to the next level."
          –Melanie Cobb, Journey to Wildness

"Working with Brandon was a major boon for my travel website project. Drawing upon a wealth of design and blogging experience, Brandon helped me sort out my scattered thoughts and focus on what really matters: increasing traffic to the site and converting visitors to regular readers. What resulted was nothing less than a total site rebranding, one that has already paid off in better engagement and improved readership. With Brandon's creativity and inspiration I have been able to forge a more focused plan for the future of the website and better position myself among a myriad of travel sites. Whether you're just starting out or hit with information overload (or both, in my case), I would not hesitate to recommend Brandon for putting your website on track for success."
