FAQ: About Margaret Bourne, Blog Coach

My website is an educational resource for beginner and intermediate bloggers who want clear insights and tips on blogging, SEO, content writing, and building a blog-based business. It’s designed for go-getter creators who want to learn and implement strategies to grow their blogs and transform them into businesses. Learn more about MargaretBourne.com.

I started coaching in 2019 because I had other bloggers coming to me, asking me questions on how to build a blog like my lifestyle blog. It made sense to start coaching. Bloggers wanted to tap into my knowledge, strategies and blogging insights. I wanted to help them grow their blogging skills confidently and implement them successfully. My success is my client’s success.

With my professional PR and marketing experience and extensive knowledge in content creation, SEO, marketing and monetization, I bring a 360 approach to blog coaching. As an expert blog coach, I work with bloggers in many niches, including those who blog to promote their solopreneur businesses. What I bring to the table is realistic, strategic growth plans, based on real-world business experience.

I offer detailed tutorials, in-depth blog posts, step-by-step guides, templates, digital products (courses, eBooks), and workbooks covering SEO, content writing, beginner blogging, and monetization and organization. Check out my Confident Blogger Shop, and my blog content.

I wanted a supportive community where bloggers could learn, stay motivated, ask questions, and grow together. It’s a space focused on education, encouragement, and accountability. Join The Blog It Better Society today.

My beginner blogger guides walk you through everything—from choosing a niche and setting up your blog to planning content, writing optimized posts, and learning the basics of SEO. I break it all down into simple, actionable steps.

I rely on strong organization systems, batching my work, and following a weekly workflow that keeps me grounded and consistent. These are the same productivity methods I teach bloggers who juggle busy schedules.

I’m based in Canada (EST), so for North American clients, particularly those in or close to the EST, I recommend weekday evening sessions. For clients in Europe and elsewhere, we aim for weekend sessions (9 AM-8 PM EST). The best way to see my current availability is through my contact page or booking inquiry.

I’m based in Canada, but I work with bloggers worldwide through virtual coaching sessions and digital products.

Let’s connect via email first. From there, we can determine whether you need one session, multiple sessions or even a blog audit. We’ll also see if we’re a good fit for what you need. Once you’re ready to proceed, we have the coaching agreement, then payment to book my time and after this we begin!

For session bundles of 5 and 10 I offer payment plans (consecutive monthly payments). I’m exploring this as an option for 2026, however, usually I prefer a full payment as you reserve my time throughout a period, allowing me to better serve you during our coaching period.

Yes, becuase you’re no longer guessing. You’re getting insights from somebody who’s not only working in this field professionally (I’m a digital SEO copywriter at a Digital Marketing agency), but has over 15 years of personal experience blogging and running a business. Not to mention, I also bring a 360-approach with insights from the PR/content creation world, branding, marketing and other related fields. All this saves you months of trial and error.

Absolutely! The skills, strategies and insights that I teach are flexible and can be adapted to different niches – from lifestyle to business coaching and more. I customize them to work with your niche, goals and specifics.

One of my specialities is working with beginner bloggers. I break it all down so it’s easier for you to learn, apply and start seeing success. Helping you with your blogging roadmap, I get you excited and pumped up, reading to take on new challenges and most importantly, thrive as a new blogger.

When you’re blogging for money, you’re actually runninga business. It can take time to make a profit with ANY business. With the right strategy, consistent work and positive mindset, you can start to generate income — albeit small — within your first year of blogging.
