7 Reasons Why My Blogging Coach, Sue Anne Dunlevie, Is The World`s Best BOFF

by 60 Comments

Blogging Coach

 

Do you remember the first time you started blogging?

You were uncomfortable.

Nah, who are we kidding?

You were so so freakin` AFRAID…

that only the thought of what your family and friends might think of you…

…SCARED you sh*tless!

Would they laugh in your face?

Would they talk behind your back?

Would they think less of you?

You had this burning PASSION that you wanted to start blogging in order to HELP a lot of PEOPLE.

But you were TOTALLY CLUELESS (like being afraid wasn`t enough.)

If you can relate, no worries.

I`ve been there too.

For me, I found coaches that could help me with EXACTLY what I needed to do.

I have a few coaches…

…but the only one that I will be mentioning today is the one that MEANS THE MOST to me…

*Drum roll*

*More drum roll*

*A polar bear is fed up by all the drumming, so he eats the drum*

Sue Anne Dunlevie from Successful Blogging.

This is a little different kind of blog post than I normally write.

But sometimes you just have to give PRAISE, where it`s due.

To be honest…

I hadn`t initially planned to do a blog post today, and yeah, as you probably know, I like to PLAN.

That being said, I looked at my Google Calendar today, and noticed that…

today is an AMAZING day!

My good friend Sue Anne Dunlevie has BIRTHDAY (I think she is turning 30, even though she looks like she is 29 and 1/2) 😉

She is one of the people who have helped me tremendously with my blog. In addition, she is my BOFF (Best Online Friend Forever).

Who said that only 6 years old girls could make those kind of acronyms? 😉

Anyway…

please give her a big congrats today!

That would mean the world to me, and I know she would really appreciate it 🙂

So I  decided to create his list over the 7 reasons why Sue Anne is so super awesome.

Here we go…

Blogging Coach Sue Anne Dunlevie

Yeah,  that guarantee is no joke 😉

Anyway, if it wasn`t for Sue Anne, I wouldn`t have made so fast progress with my blog.

In less than 9 months, I managed to do the following:

– Won the “most epic blog post” award on Jon Morrow`s blog Boost Blog Traffic
– Interviewed 9 times on big blogs
– Published 19 guest posts in big websites, including Addicted 2 Success, Lifehack and Pick The Brain
– Featured as an expert on 30 big blogs, included Ahrefs, SEMRush and Post Planner.

Without your help, Sue Anne, I wouldn`t have had those results…

So what I`m trying to say is…

a million thanks, Sue Anne.

Without you, I would have been TOTALLY lost and my blog would probably be resting in the Blogging Graveyard were a gazillion of unknown blogs go for their eternal sleep…

What To Do Next…

Please comment below and CONGRATULATE Sue Anne.

I know that she will pop in here and thank you.

Is there any special person in your life that has helped you with your blogging or business?

  15. Happy Birthday, Sue,

    I am just going to look up your horoscope to check that what Tor has said is absolutely true.

    However, come to think about it, he is right but I shall still enjoy having his analysis confirmed.

    Have a lovely day and a super successful year.

    (As per his mission statement, Tor certainly doesn’t waste his time, does he?)

    Thank you for everything, Sue.

    Kindest regards.

    • Hi Zarayna.

      Thanks for stopping by to comment and for your kind words.

      If you check the horoscope and it verifies what I was saying, it`s true.

      If not, well…then the horoscope is wrong 😉

      Regardless, Sue is the beeest 😉

      Have a great day.

  20. Hi Tor,

    This is very thoughtful of you to honor Sue in this way plus it’s her birthday! I know she’s smiling from ear to ear but I also hope she’s off this computer now having some fun.

    I agree that when we first come online it’s pretty scary. We’ve all had coaching and courses that haven’t quite lived up to our potential but then you work with people who you can’t help praising. I did that recently with Don Purdum, he really helped me tremendously and because of that my business is starting to explode. Oh and let’s not forget that I think the world of him and he’s someone I definitely call a very good friend. It’s just great to be connected with people like that.

    Such a wonderful post and I’ll be sure to share it as well Tor. You enjoy your day too okay!

    • Hi Adrienne,

      thanks for congratulating Sue and for your kind words.

      I really appreciate you sharing your experience with Don and how he has helped you. Don is a really great guy. I had a 60 minutes Skype call with him and it helped me a lot.

      In addition to knowing his stuff, he truly cares about helping you.

      That seems to be one of the ingredients to successful coaching people, which I know that you are very awesome at too, Adrienne 🙂

      Have a great day.

      Cheers,

      Tor

      I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

      • Hi Don,

        thanks a lot for stopping by to comment.

        It`s always nice when you can start to reap the harvest of your hard work, and helping people making a big impact in their lives.

        I am sure that you can agree, Don, that it`s even more rewarding when you help other people succeed, than to actually do it yourself 😉

        Have a great weekend!

        Best,

  21. Hey Sue,

    This must be one of the greatest birthday gifts youve had! Some like Tor to show his appreciation to you and how you helped him with your blog.

    From what I know about you he is right on point on the person you are.

    Thanks for being you and a very Happy Birthday to you! Have a great day on your special day!

  22. Congratulations and a very happy birthday Sue 🙂

    We haven’t gotten a chance to get to know each other that well, but after Tor’s recommendation, your work’s definitely something I’d check out next!

    All the best!

  23. Hi Tor

    What a wonderful way to show respect for your mentor. This is one of the best gifts for her. I am sure Sue would agree with me on this point.

    I had small and lovely interactions with Sue on Twitter. I look forward to strengthening our bond. In my blog journey, I have learned a lot of things from everybody. To me, my best blogging mentors were my blogging friends.

    If I see today, there are three major turning points in my blogging career. When I was a complete beginner in the field of Blogging, I learned the basics of blogging by Harsh Agarwal’s awesome blog. My first guest post was for Harleena Singh’s blog. It was the second turning point of my life. My third turning point: Starting my new site for the content writing services. These days I am learning a lot of stuff from the Content Marketer king ‘Neil Patel’.

    In the beginning, I was passionate about writing. Now, I am working on turning my passion into my profession. I have discovered my route. I just need to work hard in turning my dreams into reality.

    Happy B’day Sue. You are lucky to have Tor as your student. Lots of love buddies.

      I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

      Nothing is better than turning your passion into a profession, right? 😉

      Now only hard and strategic work remain 🙂

      Good luck, Yatin.

      I KNOW you can do it!

      Cheers,
