The Blog Depot vs. The Ultimate Blog Bootcamp: What’s the difference?
If you are thinking of starting a blog or consider yourself a beginning blogger and you want a trusted and valuable resource to help you start your blog, then one of the programs we offer at Spark Media Concepts, LLC might be the perfect fit! But what is the difference between The Blog Depot and The Ultimate Blog Bootcamp? Keep reading to find out!
We (Amy & Jennifer) are both bloggers who could see a need for other up and coming or aspiring bloggers who wanted help, guidance and a resource about how to set up their own blogs for success! There is a lot of information out there, so much in fact, that it’s hard to know who to trust or what will actually work!
That’s why we pooled together our experience (based on both successes AND failures) and knowledge to create a space where new bloggers could get exactly what they needed! We now offer two different options depending on where you are at with blogging and what you need help with, and we will explain both so you can determine which one is the best fit for you!
