I’ve been where You Are…
What if blogging was easier & profitable?
I almost quit blogging in 2014.
But by tackling the key things that were holding me back from success – blogging skills, knowledge, mindset and the right business tools – I transformed from an unsure hobby blogger to a “rise to the challenge” online business owner.
I want to share this positive approach with you!

But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Blogging and starting an online business can be easier, more fulfilling and profitable.
About Margaret Bourne
PR Pro. Marketer. Blogger. Blog Coach.
Blogging is my passion. My creative outlet and my hobby turned business.
I started out in the public relations and marketing agency world in 2000. Back then, blogs didn’t exist. Fast forward to 2010 and I started Suburban Tourist. After the birth of my son, I re-branded it into a lifestyle blog for women over 40.
With many seeking blog coaching sessions with me, it was time to take my marketing skills and blogging knowledge to start MargaretBourne.com.
Now I help others, by sharing my digital marketing and blogging tips for beginners and those scaling up to online businesses. I help them achieve their blogging success and online business goals!

What I Don’t Do
There’s no BS here… This blog is about blogging and promotes my services as my business. My success is your success. While I don’t do the work for you, I teach you how to do the work yourself, but better, so you can blog confidently like a pro with faster results.

What I truly believe in
Every blogger’s journey to achieving their goals is different. Some require more hands on support than others. But building a successful online blog business is always doable when you have the right mindset, knowledge and desire for success.
