Text reads: Buy My Ebook for Chronic Health Bloggers, worth $242, but buy it for $10!

Take your blog (and your income!) to the next level with this bundle of resources designed for health bloggers – specifically, those who blog about chronic conditions.

I started blogging for real in May 2013. Blogging has changed a lot since then, and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned how to get my blog noticed. I’ve learned what types of posts succeed. I’ve learned how to reach followers and readers on social media. And I’ve learned how to leverage all of that to make money.

Something that has been very important for me about blogging in the last few years is using my platform to help other chronic illness patients. Whether it’s helping the patients directly or helping them by educating the people in their lives, that has become my blog’s primary purpose.

But there is so much more room for other chronic illness bloggers. Truly – even if there was 1 blogger for every chronic illness – which would be a lot – it wouldn’t be enough. We need an endless amount of chronic illness bloggers, and we need them to succeed if we’re going to make a difference in patients’ lives.

That’s where this collection comes in.

I’ve pulled together an incredible 17 resources to help you succeed as a chronic illness blogger.

  1. List of weekly blog tasks
  2. 34 chronic health blog post ideas
  3. 30 health blog post title formulas
  4. SEO checklist for bloggers
  5. Blog post promotion checklist
  6. Social media optimization for bloggers
  7. 25 chronic health Instagram prompts
  8. 25 chronic health Tik Tok/Instagram Reels prompts
  9. Tailwind checklist
  10. Chronic health Tailwind Communities to join
  11. 100 inspirational quotes to share on social media
  12. 60+ Christian quotes to share on social media
  13. Media kit template for bloggers based on mine
  14. 47 ways to grow your blog
  15. My favorite resources for blogging
  16. My favorite ways to learn more about blogging
  17. How you can make money from your blog

This is all worth over $240*, but I’m selling it for only $10. That’s less than six percent of the minimum worth.

This bundle will help you connect with your chronic condition audience on your blog, on Pinterest, on search engines, and on Instagram. It will also help you land more paid opportunities.

How do I know this?

Because doing all these things has led me to making a profit for the last 6 years.

Because that profit has increased every year.

Happy blogging!

(*I worked at least 1 hour on each – not including the years of experience that enabled me to come up with these. If I charged Massachusetts minimum wage, which is where I live, it’s $242.25. If I charged federal minimum wage, that’s a total of $123.25.)

For just $5 learn what I do to that brings over 70% of my traffic from Pinterest. Once you’ve learned that, keep reading to learn how to get the most out of Tailwind for Pinterest.

I compiled all of my tips for promoting blog posts into 1 eBook! Check out how to promote your brand new blog posts, how to promote your older blog posts, and the resources you need to promote both of them.

Text reads: Social media for chronic health bloggers, worth $50, but buy it for $5!

This ebook contains tips and tricks for managing your social media as a chronic health blogger. Get a checklist for optimizing your social media networks, Instagram prompts for chronic illness patients, Twitter prompts, and miscellaneous resources for managing your social media.

This ebook is worth $50, but you can get it for $5.

Get all of these ebooks for $20!

And, if you want all of these, you can get them all for $20 instead of $25 if you bought them all individually.

I also have a workbook for chronic illness patients! This has 8 resources to help you better understand your chronic illness and your symptoms, have better medical appointments, and have a better life overall. It is pay-what-you-want with a minimum of $1 because creating it took time and effort.

The Chronically Ill Workbook, Worth over $150, but it's pay-what-you-can with a $1 minimum

Want an ad-free version of my Rheumatoid Arthritis Guide A-Z? Individually, they’re ad-full blog posts (Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3). But for just $5 you can get all of them in one 35-page ebook here.

FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]? As FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?

As with all things, what’s true for me might not be true for others. I’m sure there are plenty of RA patients who do respond well to supplements; I’m just not one of them. 

Additionally, at one point, I refer to being on chemo since 2012. As always, the chemo I’m referring to is Rituxan, which is my RA treatment. I do not have cancer nor have I ever claimed to. 

Video: Kate talks to the camera. Text at the beginning reads “FAQ: Have you tried [insert supplement here]?” and other text later reads “*24” to correct when she says “symptoms for 21 years”. There are captions.

Week 19 of #2026Weekly I’m not going to lie - my Week 19 of #2026Weekly 

I’m not going to lie - my life now focuses even more on maintaining my body. Trying to avoid foot surgery + keep my bone density up so I don’t break another bone for a while on top of all the other things I do to manage my 10+ illnesses … it’s a lot of work. I did go to actual work this week lol but my camera roll is all chronic illness stuff this week. 

1️⃣ The machine that will hopefully prevent surgery!!! Every day, I do 40 minutes of this ultrasound machine (20 min on 1 fracture, 20 min on the other) and it will speed up healing 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 
2️⃣ Continuing my exercise routine per my endocrinologist. Up to 30 minutes of Pilates 4 days a week … and since I don’t do exercises requiring pressure on my feet, the cast comes off.

SHARING YOUR HEALTH EXPERIENCES PUBLICLY⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ I sh SHARING YOUR HEALTH EXPERIENCES PUBLICLY⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I share my personal health experiences online, which I find it somewhat easy to do because I've been talking publicly - albeit to a smaller audience - since my health problems started in 2001. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
If you share something online, you need to be prepared for people to ask questions or argue with you. Should they? No. Will that stop them? Also do. ⁣
⁣
That's one of the reasons that talking online about what can be trauma is not easy or for everyone. That's why it's important to practice self-care and to consciously think about what you want to share online before you do it. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
For example, I generally only talk publicly about a health situation once it has passed, especially if it's an emergency. I also make sure that I'm in a good place mentally before I talk about it. That way, I don't share things I'll regret sharing publicly later. It also helps me be less anxious about sharing these details.⁣⁣⁣
⁣
And I don't share everything! There's lot of stuff that I haven't talked about not only online but with people in real life. It might seem like I share everything I've experienced, but I don't. ⁣
