Bloggers! Good news. We have a special announcement.
Today we are (re)releasing Blogger Resources on Minimalist Baker with tons of new FREE resources to help you get to the heart of blogging and ultimately make your blog work.
Why
Blogging can be confusing. Trust us, we’ve been there.
The technical details are overwhelming, it’s difficult to find your voice, and monetization can be a serious challenge. This all leads to one giant frustration:
How do I actually make my blog work?
On New Year’s Day we asked you to share your thoughts on this very topic. Here’s what you had to say:
- How in the world do I make my blog work?
- How do you actually make money blogging?
- Can you do this full-time? How did you do it?
How
As of today, the goal of Blogger Resources is to help you get to the heart of blogging and start cutting through all of the noise that’s getting in the way of your success. We’ll discuss topics like the importance of finding your voice, how to hone your craft, and how to monetize.
We could focus on the technical details of running a blog all day, but that won’t ultimately help your blog flourish.
We may not know everything, but we do know how to make a blog work (and it’s incredibly fun and fulfilling). That’s something we’re eager to share with you.
What To Expect
Blogger Resources not only supplies a growing list of FREE resources for new and veteran bloggers, but also a space where conversations about relevant blog-related topics can take place.
We want to help dispel the myths that surround blogging and provide real tools for making your blog work.
For this reason, Blogger Resources is split into three categories to help you better navigate the ins and outs of starting and growing a blog:
- Basics – Useful topics on the technical side of running a website well.
- Growing Your Website – Tools for making your website grow faster and smarter.
- Monetizing – Resources to help you start making money from your website.

We’ve already added our first 10 articles and will be publishing several more this week, so be sure to sign up for Blogger Resource email updates below. Don’t miss out, yo.
Join the Discussion
While we could guess all day at how you might be personally struggling with blogging, we can offer you a lot more value if you tell us exactly how we can help.
Sign up for the emails and then shoot us a note (email or tweet) with your questions, topic ideas and general suggestions. This will help us make Blogger Resources more of a community than a one-way conversation.

Kristine says
I wanted to read the blogger Resources. It leads to a portion that is no longer supported. Is there any way that I can access the information?
Thank you.
Kris
Hi Kristine, sorry about that! You can check out the blogger resources here.
Trish says
This is awesome! I’m really trying to start growing my blog and I know a lot of these will help. I’m currently on Blogger, do you have any resources for that?
Trish
Hey Trish! That’s great to hear.
If you’re looking to move to wordpress, I created an inexpensive course to show you how: https://minimalistbaker.com/university/blogger-to-wordpress/
Otherwise, all the articles on the main resources page really apply more to the grit of making your blog work, which applies to all platforms. Be sure to let us know if you see anything we could add that would help!

Beth says
I love you guys. For reals. Whenever I want to bake anything, I start here. Have I mentioned you guys are awesome? I’m inspired to use these resources and one day actually use my DSLR instead of my iPhone for food photos. Of course, this means that I will actually have to be willing to wait to eat the subject so I can photograph it.
Oh yeah, and you’re awesome.
And now I’m blushing…
It’s great that you’re starting where you are – seriously! We used a simple point-and-shoot camera (before iPhone cameras were so great) to get started. Great to see you already hustling!
Joy //For the Love of Leaves says
Awesome! Thank you guys so much!
This made me grin. We really appreciate your support Joy!
Bermary says
I just started my blog a few months back and I’m in a nice groove with my posts. I remember coming across your blog when I first started and learned so much and I’m sure there’s more things to learn! thank you.
Great to hear Bermary! Be sure to shoot us your questions when you think of them!
Sam says
I love this! I’ve only had my current blog for a few months but I’m really struggling with what exactly I want out of it and how I want to run it. Hopefully these resources will nudge me in the right direction and help me really get the most out or my blog.
At minimum, I hope we can give you questions and resources we’ve used when we struggle with the same things. Glad to have you Sam!
Jaclyn C. says
Such a great idea you guys! Keep it up!
Too kind Jaclyn. Thanks for following along!
Chloe says
Such a great idea, I’ve just subscribed for updates. I’ve been running my blog for over two years (although only really ‘properly’ in the last six months and I’m now at the stage of really wanting to push my readership upwards!
Love it! We’d love to hear your questions too!
Lucy says
Thank you guys for this! I’m planning on upgrading my blog to a website soon and am going to use your guides and advice to turn it into the site I’m dreaming of. I’m looking forward to these emails!
That’s great to hear! Be sure to let us know if you run across any topics you think would be helpful for other bloggers too!
