# 50WORKDAYS: ZERO TO BLOG (SUC H A GREAT GIF T--HINT)

Dear Awesome Person,

As you may know, I’ve been wanting to start a meaningful blog for some time now. I know it will be an amazing outlet and opportunity for me, and I want 2015 to be the year I make it a reality. I recently discovered a program called #50Workdays: Zero to Blog that I believe will help me establish an amazing blog that I will be proud of. The program starts on April 6, 2015, and enclosed are my top reasons I think it would be such a great fit for me (and you know, perhaps, make a great gift, if some awesome person I know wanted to contribute to the cost).

Thank you for taking the time to check this out.

1 I will be learning in a small community with other bloggers as motivated as I am.

6 I know I can create a blog I’m proud of and this will be my motivation, kick in the gluteus, and accountability.

2 I’ll have guidance through meaty class materials such as videos, worksheets, and a brand new eBook by Regina.

7 I will have my first followers and supporters built in. It can be hard to grow a network, so this is a huge advantage.

3 It is a step-by-step program that works perfectly for someone in my position.

8 Regina will be establishing a blog from scratch as well, so everyone will be on the same level, facing the same tasks.

4 I’ll have a Google+ Community where I can ask unlimited questions during this process.

9 This will save me time and stress from trying to figure all this out on my own.

5 I will have the time and attention of Regina (who quit all her other jobs to run this program) + Erika (Olyvia.co).

10 It comes with a cool welcome kit and goodies that I’d love to receive soon.
