DIY Printables for Bloggers
You started your blog and have been working hard to create great content. You’ve been promoting your blog posts on social media. You’ve even joined Facebook groups dedicated to doing chore threads with the hopes that you’d find some people who are genuinely interested in your blog. But your blog traffic is still disappointingly low.
Perhaps you already have a list of opt-in freebie ideas written down and you just don’t know how to bring those ideas to life.
Maybe you are trying to decide which of the many email service providers you should use to build your list.
Or perhaps you already have a small list, but it’s growing at a snail’s pace.
If there is one thing I have learned over the years it’s that design and tech can cause bloggers to want to pull their hair out in frustration.
I totally get it!
As a self-taught web and graphic designer, I’ve definitely had my fair share of hair-pulling moments. Lol! That’s why I love to help other bloggers with those things. They come easily to me now and I know that I can help others learn enough to check off some of the big things on their to-do list.
I also know that most new bloggers don’t have a big budget for these things. You don’t have the money yet to hire someone to create your graphics or grow your list for you. You are in full DIY mode and need to learn how to handle the design and tech aspects of list-building on your own.
That’s why I created this course.
The best part? I show you how to do it all with FREE and low cost software so that you can find the right option for your budget!

I’ve really enjoyed Monique’s course, Diy Printables. It’s organized, detailed and takes you through each step needed to create printables. I love that it’s clear and divided into small chunks.
Monique’s is very knowledgeable and she gives great tips and suggestions. If you’re a beginner and want to create great opt-ins using Powerpoint, then I’d highly recommend DIY Printables. It’s also a great refresher course for intermediate users.

About Monique
Hi! My name is Monique and I’m the owner of Monique B Designs, where I design custom email opt-ins/printables, websites, and book covers/layouts for my clients.
I’m also the blogger behind Living Life and Learning.
Over the 5 years since I started blogging seriously, I’ve designed well over 200 printables for my readers, resulting in tens of thousands of downloads. Printables have helped me to grow my list to 25,000 subscribers. I’m passionate about helping other bloggers to grow their lists by offering their readers content they will love.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this course for? ExpandThis course can be beneficial for any blogger who struggles to grow their blog traffic and needs help creating the perfect opt-in offer to build their email list. It doesn’t matter what niche you are in or how long you have been blogging.
Why should you use printables as my opt-in freebie? ExpandI always recommend printables because they can be used to provide your readers with a simple solution to a problem, they are and quick and easy to make once you get the hang of it, and they can be designed for free.
Which program do I use to create printables? ExpandI personally use InDesign to create my printables. However, I want this course to be beneficial to everyone, so I teach you how to create printables using Microsoft PowerPoint. In the videos, I use the Microsoft 365 online version.
Which platform do I use to send emails to my list? ExpandI personally use ConvertKit. However, in the course, I provide tech training for Mailerlite, Mailchimp, Activecampaign, and Convertkit. That way, you can choose the provider that best fits your needs and budget.
I’m a tech challenged. Can I still benefit from this course? ExpandThis course is perfect for people who consider themselves tech dunces. I work hard to break things down so that anyone can DIY a printable and get things set up in their email service provider.
How much would I have to spend for the tools mentioned in this course? ExpandThis totally depends on you! During the course, I teach you how to use 4 email service providers. Each one has its own pricing system, but there are free options if your list is under 2,000 subscribers. As far as designing the printables, I teach you how to use Powerpoint and Canva. If you don’t already own Powerpoint, you would need to buy it. There are free and paid options for images, as well as cheap options for clip art. So, essentially, this is based on your own personal preferences and your budget.
What happens after I pay for the course? ExpandYou will have immediate access to all of the modules to work through at your own pace. Make sure you are logged in here and then you can view the course material here.

If you’re still unhappy with your results, send an email to Hello@Moniquebdesigns.com and I will get you taken care of.
