What Is the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit?
I’ve mentioned before that I think continuing education for solopreneurs is super-important. Actually, I think continuing education in any field is imperative – this is what comes from having a degree in education and spending time as a corporate trainer. This learning thing is in my blood.
As a result, I buy a lot of learning resources to help me in my business.
One of the best things I bought in 2016 was the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit. And now I wait (impatiently) for it to come out every year. I’m super-excited to share that the 2019 Genius Blogger’s Toolkit is back for a quick 2-day flash sale – January 15-16, 2020.

At this point, you are probably asking yourself a) “why would they do this?” and b) “what’s the catch?” So, let’s look at both those questions.
Why would they offer all this stuff for such a low price?
For starters, this offer is put together by a company called Ultimate Bundles and this is what they do. They pull together a bunch of resources on a specific topic and offer them as bundles. In addition to the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, they also offer bundles on homemaking, healthy living, de-cluttering, parenting, and more.
Why would people contribute their products to a bundle?
It’s a good way to get your name and business in front of a new audience. I know that, as a consumer, I’ve found several businesses this way and have gone on to buy other products from them at full price.
What’s the catch?
The catch is that the bundle is only available for a very limited period of time – in the case of the 2019 Genius Blogger’s Toolkit, we’re talking a few days in October and this year during this flash sale. You truly do get all those resources at a very low price point, but this is not an evergreen opportunity.
The second thing to keep in mind is that the sheer quantity of resources in the Genius Blogger can be overwhelming. If you don’t have a plan to use the information, then you run the risk of wasting your money. If you are interested in buying the toolkit, I recommend that you pick five or six items that will make the biggest difference to your business RIGHT NOW or over the next 6 months and focus on those.
You have six months to download any books or sign up for any courses, so you have plenty of time to move on to additional resources, once you have worked through your top five items.
Is the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit worth it?
For my business, absolutely. But, I can’t answer that question for your business. Only you can.
Check out the full details of all the products included this year’s bundle. Then take a few minutes to jot down the books/courses/bonuses that jump out at you. You’ll be able to tell pretty quickly if the $97 price tag is worth it for you.
