“Blogging is so much fun, especially when you get paid in your sleep!“

Want passive income, but don’t know how?

Hi, I’m Nicole Ray

I’m the owner of the personal finance blog, Let’s Make Life Great. When I started my blog back in 2022, I worked tirelessly to get it to where it is today. Looking back, you’d be surprised at how rough it was in the beginning compared to where it stands now. But while I’ve achieved success, the journey wasn’t easy—I lacked the guidance I desperately needed.

Sure, there were “how to blog” courses out there, but most cost close to, or over $500, which was completely out of reach for me as a beginner. So instead, I rolled up my sleeves and learned everything the hard way. Slowly but surely, I started seeing results: traffic increased, affiliate sales trickled in, and my blog began to grow.

I’ll never forget the thrill of making my first affiliate sale on Amazon. Then, just days later, I earned $380 in commission from another program—it felt incredible!

It took me months and years of trial and error to learn everything I know now, and I often wished someone had been there to guide me. That’s why I created this course—for you. It’s an affordable, simple yet comprehensive guide designed to help beginner bloggers learn how to launch their blogs and start earning income in as little as 30 days.

I teach you everything that I learned along the way, from what it took to actually get that first dollar, and how to even set up my site with WordPress.

Not every money-making method works for everyone, but there are plenty of options for you to diversify your blogging income, making sure that your monthly profits are consistent and reliable.

What would it mean to you if you had reliable and consistent passive income?

Here are some screenshots I’ve taken of my affiliate commissions. One program was from a couple of months’ worth of commissions, one was from one day, and the other was from 2 days’ worth of commissions. And that is just the income I make from affiliate marketing.

This means I get paid approximately .45 cents for every click. Some months I earn even more than that!

Still Not Sure if Blogging is for You?

Here are some common questions I get asked about blogging, and what you need to know.

I get it—I’m not the most tech-savvy person either. While I have some experience with computers, I didn’t have any formal training when I started my blog. That’s the beauty of blogging, though: you don’t need to be a tech expert. With WordPress and its user-friendly drag-and-drop Gutenberg editor, designing your site and writing blog posts is simple and intuitive.


And don’t worry! I’ve created tutorial videos in the course that guide you through every step of the process, from designing a stunning site to setting up your very first blog post. You’ll have everything you need to get started, no technical skills required!

Blogging does take time and dedication, but the beauty of it is that you can work on it anytime and at your own pace. Whether you spend 30 minutes or six hours crafting your latest post, the choice is entirely yours.


Many bloggers, myself included, started their blogs on the side while working a 9-to-5 job or managing a busy life as a stay-at-home parent. With no deadlines, pressure, or productivity requirements, blogging allows you to build your income on your terms. Over time, your blog can evolve into a steady source of income—even one that replaces your day job.

And the best part? The more experience you gain, the easier and faster the process becomes.

It’s common for new bloggers to feel uncertain, and I certainly had that fear myself. While I can’t guarantee a specific income, I can tell you that perseverance is key. The more you learn, experiment, and analyze your strategies, the faster success will come.


There were times when I thought about quitting, feeling like I just wasn’t good enough. But when I took a step back, I realized something was missing. I tried again, adjusted my approach, and made changes—and that made all the difference.


If I had quit when I felt discouraged, I never would have earned that $380 commission or seen the monthly Amazon affiliate payments rolling in. And that’s just one way to monetize a blog—there are countless opportunities to earn as a blogger!

Every blogger, even the most successful ones, experiences this fear. Believe me, it’s something I still think about from time to time. But here’s a quick tip: other bloggers are not your competition—they are your network. And everyone… let me say that again… everyone started from somewhere.


In fact, building relationships with other bloggers can be one of the most valuable assets to your success. When you collaborate, share ideas, and support one another, you create opportunities for growth that you simply can’t achieve alone.

That’s why I’ve dedicated an entire module in the course, specifically on networking. I truly believe that connecting with others in the blogging community is a game-changer. It’s not just about competition—it’s about building a support system that can help you thrive. The more you network, the more you’ll learn, grow, and open up new opportunities for your blog.

I totally get it—trust me, I was there too. I spent hundreds of hours researching and taking countless online courses before I figured it out. And, quite a bit of trial and error too…

Which is exactly why I created this course for you. I wish I had this kind of guidance when I first began my blogging journey, as it would have saved me from all the confusion and time-consuming trial and error that ultimately cost me potential income.

I want you to avoid all those beginners mistakes, so you can enjoy your blogging journey the way it was meant to be. The step-by-step roadmap in this course covers everything you need: from setting up web hosting and installing WordPress to designing your site, driving traffic, monetizing, and more. I’ve included everything I learned on my own to give you the best possible chance of success right from the start!
