Hi there, I'm Ben!

I'm a 37 year old, sleep deprived new dad, that is loving every minute of being a father. I'm married to the amazing woman you see in this picture, I live in Southern California, and I'm partial to a hoppy IPA.

I created this blog for one reason: to help people learn how to start a blog the right way. Plain and simple. When I first started blogging, I was extremely overwhelmed. I knew that I wanted to start a blog, but I didn't know where to begin.

During my first few years of blogging, I spent an embarrassing amount of time, effort, and money on trying to figure everything out. But in then end, I knew there had to be an easier way. That's when I had my “Aha!” moment and created this blog.

Blogwithben.com is an all inclusive site that will take the guesswork out of starting a blog. I wanted to create a space where I could not only share my experiences, but also provide a step-by-step blueprint for how to start a successful blog.

Experience

So, why should you listen to me? Good question. Let's get the boring credentials out of the way shall we? Well, for starters, I have around 10 years experience in teaching, sales, coaching, and working in the higher education sector.

Professionally, I’m the Marketing Website Manager for Zovio Inc. I’ve founded multiple online businesses, I love marketing, and I have a passion for entrepreneurship. Because of this passion, I began building and designing websites for my various business ventures.

Since then, I've submerged myself in learning everything I can about WordPress, blogging, web design (CSS & HTML), web hosting, SEO, digital marketing, copywriting, and how to run a successful online business. After a lot of trial and error, I've been able use my business knowledge and online experience to develop a business model that turns my regular blogs into profitable blogs. I'm not a millionaire, but I am generating a substantial amount of revenue through blogging. Now it's my turn to share this knowledge with you and show you how it's done.
