The Genius Bloggers Toolkit 2018 the third edition of a collection of courses, ebooks, and other digital resources Ultimate Bundles curated on all aspects of blogging. Each year is a fresh bundle of blogging resources. And as in previous two years, the 2018 edition was only available for purchase for about a week.
My 20/20 hindsight: I skipped the 2016 Genius Bloggers Toolkit. Ultimately regretted it in hindsight and bought the 2017 edition almost the minute it went on sale. I also bought the 2018 version. As I knew I wouldn’t use EVERY single item I made sure there were at least a few resources that more than made the $97 bundle price worth the money. Everything above that was “bonus”.
And again in 2019 I’ll take a look at the fourth edition of the Genius Bloggers Toolkit to figure out how it will help me learn tactics and strategies to grow my blog. Don’t forget to mark your calendar for early October 2019.
If you’re curious to see what was included in the past, I rounded up what was included in the third curated edition of the Genius Bloggers Toolkit 2018.
And if you purchased the 2018 bundle don’t forget to download all the materials or signup courses before the 2019 edition is released. As a reminder, you have access to the bundle site for 1 year.
