Copyblogger Academy<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/copybloggeracademy.com\/\">Copyblogger Academy<\/a> is a course and community operated by two seven-figure entrepreneurs (myself and Charles Miller) who have used content marketing to build their businesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles has built an impressive following of 220,000 followers on X and over 100,000 followers on LinkedIn. And, he\u2019s helped dozens of other entrepreneurs build their personal brands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Charles is a master at social media and personal branding, I\u2019ve built multiple seven-figure companies through SEO, including a digital marketing agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And most importantly, we\u2019re both still in the game.

This is a key differentiator because it means their content updates and evolves with the current marketing landscape.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-community-1\">Community<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course is built directly inside a private discussion forum and members can:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ask questions directly to Benji and Devesh and receive detailed written or video feedback.<\/li>\n<li>Share keyword strategies, outlines, and drafts for review.<\/li>\n<li>Join monthly live Zoom calls for coaching and strategy teardown sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It feels more like joining an agency apprenticeship than a typical online course.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pricing-1\">Pricing<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course offers lifetime access for a one-time payment of $699, or six monthly payments of $135.

However, his own broad experience makes the content marketing course somewhat broad. For example, instead of laser focusing on blog and LinkedIn content, his course offers more general guidance on storytelling, the AIDA framework, web design best practices, and other broader topics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, his course isn\u2019t quite as specific as some of the other options.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-course-content-5\">Course Content<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course is 3 hours and 46 minutes long, divided into 95 lectures across 14 sections.
