\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a confession to make: I was a bit of a geek at school. I was the kid who asked questions all the time. What can I say? I loved learning.<\/p>\n

And I still do. Every part of the process is exciting for me \u2013 learning new things, meeting new people, and being inspired. So imagine how excited I was when I left school and discovered my employers would actually pay me to learn. \u2018Professional Development\u2019 quickly became my two favourite words.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, being paid to attend conferences and stay in nice hotels so I could learn and network ended when I left the corporate world. And who pays for your professional development when you\u2019re a blogger? That\u2019s right – you.<\/p>\n

Working for yourself means there\u2019s no training and development are who\u2019ll pay to keep your skills up to date. But because I value it so much, I\u2019ve kept investing in my own professional development since going solo. And in this blog post I\u2019m going to share some of the learning opportunities the ProBlogger team and I recommend.<\/p>\n

Blogging Courses and Resources<\/h2>\n

Of course, a big part of what we do here at ProBlogger is provide access to free and affordable content to help you with your blogging. ProBlogger has more than 8,000 free blog posts and a full curriculum of 9 courses covering everything from Starting a Blog<\/a> to Creating Content<\/a>, Finding Readers<\/a>, Building Community<\/a> and Making Money<\/a> blogging. We’ve also got a collection of useful resources available in our ProBlogger PLUS Member’s Library<\/a> (free to join if you’re not already a member).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, we are the first to acknowledge and embrace the fact that you can’t be an expert at everything and that within the world of blogging there’s so many different people with their own remarkable zones of genius. That’s why at ProBlogger, we love the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, which is a collaborative bunlde of resources from some of the most knowledgable blogging experts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Genius Blogger\u2019s Toolkit<\/h3>\n

ProBlogger has contributed to (and been an affiliate for) The Genius Blogger’s Toolkit<\/a> for years because it represents such amazing value and provides a really accessible way for bloggers to continue to develop professionally.<\/p>\n

The team at Ultimate Bundles has put together the best resources on all<\/span>\u00a0the topics that matter to bloggers \u2013 mastering social media, monetization, creating and selling products, time management and productivity, growing an email list, and so much more.<\/p>\n

All-up there are 76 resources in the toolkit. The eBooks, eCourses, templates and workbooks alone are worth a combined $6,309.98.<\/strong> And on top of that you get $300+ worth of bonuses<\/strong> help you run your blog better.<\/p>\n

But the best part (and one of the main reasons we take part each year) is that you can get the lot for just $97<\/strong>. That\u2019s about the same as a course or a few eBooks.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even a full 30-day happiness guarantee<\/span>, which means you can try it out without any risk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year Problogger has contributed a product called “Workshops & Masterclasses”<\/strong> which is a collection of 27 presentations from blogging experts on their best, most practical strategies and tactics recorded live at ProBlogger Event.<\/p>\n
