Ready to get Skooled in the Art of Blogging? After 18 months, 140 interviews with content creators, and a day job heading up a travel blog, I may not be teacher of the year, but I can teach you a thing or two about what it takes to get on the honor roll in the blogosphere. I can help you:

Develop traffic strategies that can accelerate your growth rapidly without any bullshit shortcuts.
- I helped my friend Monique get over 800 visits to her blog on the day she launched.
- I had another friend who had her traffic go from 20 to 800 visits in a day after using one of my strategies.
Build a network of awesome relationships without sucking up to A-list bloggers. This is my specialty and I can teach you how to do it with only 150 followers on twitter.
Develop a content strategy and find a voice that truly actually stands out from the crowd.

And…..

If you suck at managing time I’ll expose you to the secrets of how I use ADHD to my advantage to get more done in a day than most people get done in a week.

I’ve developed an arsenal of blogging knowledge thanks to BlogcastFM and 140 interviews. What you get me from me is the combined knowledge of all those people.

elemschool Work With Me

Cost: $100.00

So you have decided to start a blog and you don’t have a clue where to start or how get going. This basic package is for you. I’ll take care of getting you all setup you can you start posting your blog within 24 hrs. Here’s what this basic setup will include:

Installation of WordPress on your Domain (on yourdomain.com, instead blogname.wordpress.com or blogname.blogspost.com)
Installation of your Selected Theme: Themes are basically what determine the look and feel of your blog. There are many free ones that you can find by just doing a Google search for “free wordpress themes.” If you are going to purchase a theme, I recommend the Thesis Theme(that’s theme I use and many of the popular blogs use).
Installation of Plugins (for social media sharing/etc)- Plugins are basically different pieces of software that optimize a blog for social media, SEO, etc. For example, all those “share on Facebook, tweet this, etc, etc” buttons that you see are all plugins

TESTIMONIALS

I recently was privileged to have an hour consultation session with Srini Rao. To say it was one of the best things I could have done for my business seems like an understatement. I filled two pages of a legal pad with notes and I still didn’t get it all written down. I have been busy working on the suggestions ever since. Thanks Srini! – Steve Thomas, Fungeezer.com

“During my consulting session with Srini, he provided me with so many ideas to improve my business that I’ll be busy for the next 6 months. After spending time on my blog and website, he gave me personalized advice that I can start implementing immediately. The energy that he brings to the table is contagious, and it’s obvious that he cares about helping people in an authentic way. If you have the chance to consult with Srini, I would highly recommend that you jump at it.” April Bowles Olin, BlacksburgBelle.com

“I was lucky enough to win an hour’s consultation session with Srinivas and I was blown away. He was full of great ideas to take my blog to the next level. Most importantly, what he suggested was simple and practical. And I ended up with 3 pages of typed notes in a Word document which I now call “My roadmap for blogging success”.What really impressed me was that he had clearly spent a lot of time looking around my blog and his ideas to monetise my blog and to take it to the next level were specific and customized for me. I highly recommend Srinivas for your own consulting session” -Arvind Devalia, ArvindDevalia.com

I bought Srini Rao and David Crandall’s excellent audio product, “Grow Your Blog With Interviews,” but there was a minor glitch in the recording. Srini quickly replaced the bad recording with a good one, and as a bonus offered a free hour of coaching. I jumped on it, hoping for some good suggestions about how to grow my business. My coaching session with Srini exceeded all expectations. It was jam-packed with awesome. He gave me enough actionable, money-making and attention-getting ideas to keep me busy for months. Now, it’s up to me to implement them!- LaVonne Ellis, TheCompleteFlake
