Maybe you've read every article or signed up for every course imaginable or done all the things you thought you were supposed to do, but nothing you've tried so far has worked. Or maybe you've just been lurking in the shadows, thinking about starting that blog or online business but not quite daring to jump in.

And whether you've been at this for a while or you're just getting started, the reality is that it's really hard to start an online business all by yourself. Maybe you've even gathered all the freebies, but when it comes to taking action, you feel paralyzed and overwhelmed. And with so many different ideas coming your way, it's hard to know exactly who or what to listen to.

But there IS an easier way. It's called Elite Blog Academy®.

And friends—buckle up, because EBA® is BACK!

Previously available only within our ACTIVATE Coaching Program, we are once again offering Elite Blog Academy® Foundation as a stand-alone course. This is your chance to finally get access to the life-changing curriculum that has helped launch more than 15,000 lives so far.

Since launching my first blog, Living Well Spending Less, in 2010, my business has grown into a multi-million dollar company. I’ve become the New York Times bestselling author of 7 books, launched a top-rated podcast, and even given a TED talk.

But it didn’t start out that way!

At first, I struggled hard to figure it all out. There were SO many times I felt like quitting, and I can’t even tell you how often I secretly wished for some magical fairy blog-mama to share all her secrets of success. Sadly, she never appeared, but I swore to myself that if I ever did figure out the secret to blogging, I’d be that fairy blog-mama to someone else!

And that’s exactly what Elite Blog Academy® is all about.

No, it’s not a magic wand, but it IS probably the next best thing: a clearly laid out, step-by-step guide that will show you, in crystal clear detail, exactly what to do, in what order, to get where you want to be.

Growing a successful online business is a process, but it's often the first step—just getting started—that people find the hardest. At Elite Blog Academy® , we make it easy. In just 3 months, we'll help you quickly take your blog from concept to reality so that you're ready to begin growing your audience and earning money online.

Whether you ultimately want to create products, write bestselling books, start a podcast or a YouTube channel, or simply make a bigger impact in the world, this is the place to begin.

Narrowed down to the right niche for faster results. We'll show you how to merge your own passion & interests with a topic that can actually be monetized in order to make you more money faster.

Built a beautiful, organized, professional-looking website. Your website is the face of your business, so it has to be good. We’ll help you make it great.

Mastered the art of creating content that resonates. We’ll not only help you know exactly what to write about, we'll also give you a clear template for crafting content that people pay attention to.

Nailed down your messaging. We'll help you get crystal clear about your target audience, their biggest pain point, and your solution for their pain, which will set up your business for exponential growth.

Established a solid brand that stands out. From choosing your name & logo to picking the right colors, fonts, and imagery, we'll show you exactly how to put together a cohesive brand guide that gets noticed.

Set up your email service provider in order to start growing your list. We’ll show you how to leverage email to nurture a thriving community of people who know, like, and trust you.

Learned how to drive traffic to your website through proven growth strategies. We’ll show you exactly what tactics you'll need to master in order to get more eyes on your page and ensure you don’t waste time on the wrong things.

Created an efficient social media strategy. We’ll tell you exactly where your time is best spent so you don’t waste precious energy trying to be everywhere all at once.

Crafted a long-term business strategy for sustainable growth. In the end, blogging is a marathon, not a sprint. We’ll show you how to build momentum that keeps you going strong.

“When I first started Elite Blog Academy, I had no idea what I was doing, but I was determined. I followed every single step of the program exactly as written. It took me 9 months to complete, but exactly one year after starting EBA, I was blogging full time and made $5,000 in one month alone. Two years later, I was earning $35,000 a month, and it has only gone up from there. Having taken many expensive online classes, I’m able to tell you that EBA® is the best! Ruth lays out step-by-step exactly what you need to do so that when you’ve completed it, you understand how to make a living from your blog.”

Our Gold Level includes all that the Silver Level offers, plus 3 months of access to our private EBA® Foundation Facebook Group, along with weekly LIVE office hours, and weekly interactive Implementation Workshops with our EBA coaches.

EBA Gold also gets you access to our insanely valuable Best of ACTIVATE Bonus, which includes 10 of our most popular advanced trainings, and is a $1997 value all on its own.

The Gold Level is ideal for the ambitious beginner who wants to accelerate fast with hands-on support, or for the experienced blogger who is ready for more in-depth training to take their blog to the next level.

And for TODAY ONLY you can enroll in this level for the price of Silver and save $400!!!

Our Platinum Level includes everything in Gold and Silver, but also provides three additional months of live support, as well as 2 fantastic additional bonus courses—Social Boom and Irresistible Email. You’ll also receive lifetime access to the EBA Foundation curriculum so that you can revisit it at any time.

The Platinum Level is for anyone who’s ready to go all-in on their blogging business and would like access to the best training and resources available, as well as hands-on instruction. For you, this is the year to see massive growth!

When we first launched our ACTIVATE coaching program in 2020, our small team wanted to be able to focus ALL of our time and energy developing that program into everything we knew it could be—the best coaching program for bloggers in the entire world.

And while we do feel we have achieved that goal, we have also learned that what our beginner students want and need is very different than the guidance our more advanced students crave.

Thus, in order to best serve ALL our students, we've decided to bring back Elite Blog Academy® Foundation as a stand-alone course for new and beginner-level bloggers, while keeping ACTIVATE focused on our intermediate and advanced-level students.

Here at Elite Blog Academy®, our programs are designed to work seamlessly together to help you build and grow a successful, profitable, and predictable online business.

If you’re a beginner, you’ll start at Level 1 with our Elite Blog Academy® Foundation program, which will focus on quickly building your foundation with confidence. EBA® Foundation is designed to help you move fast in order to avoid getting stuck or hung up on indecision or perfection. By the end of EBA Foundation, you'll have narrowed down your niche, set up your website, established your brand standards, published your first 7 blog posts, and learned how to grow your audience.

Once you've completed Level 1, you’ll move on to ACTIVATE and our Level 2, curriculum, Product Launch Playbook Academy™, which will walk you, step-by-step, through the process of developing, launching, and selling your Core Offer and monetizing your platform with predictable and profitable sales funnels. You'll create your lead magnet and entry offer (aka your "tripwire"), as well as learn how to quickly grow your email list through paid traffic.

From there, you'll advance to Level 3 and our S.C.A.L.E. Your Business Curriculum, which is designed to help you continually scale your online business in a predictable and profitable way. In Level 3 we focus not just on more advanced sales & marketing tactics, but on creating the systems and clarity in your business that will allow you to grow, while also helping you develop your skills as a leader and C.E.O.

Elite Blog Academy® is definitely not just for beginners! Our different programs are designed to help you build and grow your online business through 7 figures and beyond.

If you are an intermediate or advanced blogger who has already has an established website, you will likely want to start in Level 2, with the ACTIVATE Coaching Program and Product Launch Playbook Academy, rather than begin in Level 1, with Elite Blog Academy® Foundation.

That said, if you are an experienced blogger who is not currently feeling confident about your chosen niche, business name, branding, or messaging, then you may still want to start in Level 1 with EBA® Foundation.

Either way, we'll be able to help you quickly reach your goals.

EBA® Foundation is available for a one-time payment of $597 for the Silver level, $997 for Gold, or $1497 for Platinum.

Many of our students compare joining Elite Blog Academy® to going to college—it’s that comprehensive, and that intense. When you put it into that context, it’s pretty incredible to consider that our tuition for EBA is far less than you would pay for one semester at a community college, or even just one class at a 4-year university, and yet this is a program that has the power to change your whole future.

Unfortunately, there is not a payment plan available for this special sale.

Without a doubt, 100% YES! Especially today, when you can enroll in EBA® Foundation Gold for the same price as Silver!

Our Gold level membership includes more than $4,000 in additional support and bonuses that are designed to help you work through the materials faster, with a whole lot more confidence. You'll get access to our private Facebook group, as well as access to weekly live office hours and weekly implementation workshops. Plus, you'll get access to our Best of ACTIVATE bonus, which is a $1997 value all on its own, jam-packed with our very best advanced-level trainings from the past year. (Trust us on this—it's SOOOOOO good!)

Our Platinum level includes everything you’ll get in gold, but also gives you lifetime access to the course curriculum (as well as to all future course updates), plus an additional three months of access to the Facebook group, live office hours, and implementation workshops. You also get two additional bonus courses to help you build your business—Social Boom and Irresistible Email.

If you’re the kind of person who thrives with more accountability and hands-on learning, then both our Gold and Platinum enrollment options are the best way to turbocharge your progress.

There is no shortage of information available about blogging and online business or marketing. In fact, in many ways, that is exactly the problem. There is so much information, so many people sharing so many ideas and saying so many different things, that it is almost impossible to sift through. In fact, the information overload becomes so overwhelming that many bloggers simply get paralyzed and can’t move forward, while others keep switching from one tactic to the next, and then wonder why they can’t find any momentum.

Elite Blog Academy® is totally different because what EBA provides, through all three levels of our program, is a comprehensive, step-by-step, framework for success. It goes beyond tactics to provide an actual strategy—one that has been proven, through 8 years and more than 15,000 students so far—to get consistent results.

Most people aren’t all that great at strategy. They struggle to see the big picture or to lay out a plan that includes all the steps that will take them where they want to go. But without the strategy, even the best tactics won’t help you all that much, because you’ll always struggle to build momentum.

EBA is built on the idea that momentum and results come from taking small, focused action steps in the right direction. With EBA, you’ll never have to wonder whether you are on the right track because we tell you exactly what steps to take, in what order, until you get to where you want to be.

While we encourage you to attend office hours live when your schedule allows, live attendance is not a requirement for success in our program. Each live office hours session will be recorded, and the recordings will be posted in the course portal by 5pm the following business day.

Because they are interactive and involve a number of different breakout groups, it is not possible to record our Implementation Workshops.

That said, we do our best to mix up the times of both our office hours and workshops in order to accommodate a wide variety of schedules. Chances are good that there will be at least a few times each month that work for your schedule.

Success in this program requires that you take consistent, focused action, that you actually show up, and that you take the time to apply what you are learning and keep moving forward.

The bottom line is that you can’t expect Elite Blog Academy® Foundation to magically work for you. You need to do the work. Show up for office hours. Complete your assignments. Ask questions. Apply what you are learning to your business. Work on your coursework consistently.

That being said, our team is completely dedicated to your success—and that means doing whatever we can to support you along the way. If you still don’t find what you’re looking for, shoot us an email—we’re happy to help you find the answers.

The short answer is no, it’s not too late! Not even close.

Here at EBA®, we define blogging as the process of producing and publishing any form of content online for the sake of growing your business.

Thus, when we talk about “blogging,” we’re talking about any sort of content you publish online. It could mean posting written content on a blog, or it could mean hosting a podcast, hosting a YouTube channel, or connecting with your audience via email. It’s really all the same thing, just delivered differently.

And this means that blogging is not only still relevant, it is actually more relevant than ever before, because people are consuming online content at a higher rate than ever before.

EBA is designed to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step framework for building a successful, profitable & predictable online business through content marketing, regardless of your niche, target audience, or experience level.

Whether you’re an ambitious beginner looking just to get started, an intermediate level blogger looking to break through a plateau, or a business owner already earning an income, EBA will provide the tools, support, and resources to set your business up for lasting success.

Within our programs, we have bloggers and business owners of every shape and size, every niche, color, and creed! If you are ready to do the work, if you want more customers and a sustainable online business, then EBA is right for you.

Elite Blog Academy is definitely not for anyone who just wants to “kind of” check things out. You can’t “kind of” become a successful, profitable blogger or business owner. Getting those type of results takes a commitment to succeed. EBA is also not for anyone looking for a shortcut or “magic bullet” to success. There is no magic wand offered with this course. Instead, we offer a comprehensive, strategic framework and a step-by-step process that allows you to know exactly where to focus your efforts in order to maximize your results. Instead, EBA is for people who are committed to following the process. The thing our successful alumni have in common is a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get to work and to put 100% of their effort into completing the assignments in order.

No program works unless you do. If you’re expecting Elite Blog Academy, or anything else to magically solve your problems or make you money the moment you register, please do NOT sign up. This is not some “get rich quick” program, nor do we offer some top-secret magic bullet that promises untold riches with no effort on your part.

Plus, we actually care that you complete and implement the material provided in the course, which is why our refund policy is dependent on you actually doing the work. If you complete the course and find that we didn't deliver on everything that was promised, we'll refund your entire tuition, no questions asked.

In order to be eligible for a refund, you must submit your completed homework for all 20 course assignments by 90 days from your purchase date. You can send your fully completed assignments to eba@ruthsoukup.com.

The level of support you'll get in EBA® Foundation will depend on the enrollment option that you choose.

Silver level students who choose our independent self-study option will be working largely on your own, but you receive a weekly email related to that week's lesson with tips, tricks, and frequently asked questions. You'll also be able to submit questions via email.

Gold & Platinum level students, on the other hand, will have access to incredible support every step of the way.

This includes a private Facebook group, where you'll be able to ask questions and get feedback from both our EBA Coaching Team and your fellow students.

It also includes weekly LIVE office hours with both Ruth and members of our EBA Coaching Team, including help with strategy and tech support when needed.

You'll also be able to participate in weekly LIVE guided interactive Implementation Workshops, where you'll get to collaborate and brainstorm with your fellow students in small breakout groups as you apply what you are learning to your own blog and business.

Most of our students will tell you that the support they receive in our incredible community is one of their favorite aspects of EBA, which is why we highly recommend selecting our Gold or Platinum enrollment option.

Enrollment for Elite Blog Academy® Foundation is live now for just 24 hours.

You will receive your enrollment confirmation within 30 minutes, along with your access to the membership portal, which is where you’ll have instant access to all course materials so that you can get started right away.

We do provide a recommended course syllabus and schedule for you to follow, but the lessons are recorded and can be done at your own pace.

For our Gold & Platinum students, there will also be a monthly schedule of live office hours and interactive workshops available in the course portal so that you can get those on your calendar as early as possible. Our subsequent schedules will be available in the course portal by the 20th of the preceding month.

Our EBA Foundation curriculum is designed to be self-paced, to work into your schedule, and to help you move quickly so that you don't get stuck.

More than 90% of our EBA® Foundation students in the past year have had no trouble completing the course in 3 months, and many were able to complete their work much faster, some in as little as 4 weeks.

We recommend planning on approximately 5 hours a week to stay on pace with our recommended syllabus and course schedule. This will get you through the entire program in 11 weeks, which will leave you several weeks of buffer time just in case you need it.

Many of our most successful alumni squeezed in their course work while they were working other jobs—sometimes even more than one—as well as while they were homeschooling their kids, going to school, or taking care of their families.

You can access the course material 24 hours a day, which means you can make it work for your schedule, and we also try to mix up the times for our live office hours and workshops to accommodate a variety of schedules.

Starting a business means being willing to invest in yourself, and we can honestly say that when it comes to starting an online business, there are few investments you can make that will be more valuable for your long-term success than EBA. In fact, if you research online what our students have to say about EBA, the one thing you will find them saying over and over again is this: “EBA was the best money I ever spent on my business.”

This is because the framework we teach gets results, results that have been proven and refined since 2014, with more than 15,000 students so far.

Moreover, the fact that EBA is a serious investment actually makes it even more powerful, because you will be forced to take it seriously. Make no mistake—completing Elite Blog Academy is a lot of work, but when you are invested and committed, you will see incredible results.

Start your blog, choose the right niche, and lay the foundation for a successful online business in 9 simple lessons.
