Genius Blogger’s Toolkit: My Honest Take

By Sarah Nenni Daher 7 Comments

Blog resources are everywhere and the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit is one of the most promoted and visible. Is it worth it? I’m giving a brutally honest review.

Honest Review of the Genius Bloggers Toolkit 2017 2

What Is the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit?

The toolkit is a collection of resources to help bloggers accomplish goals in various areas: monetizing, creating products, productivity, building newsletter lists, and other areas related to blogging.

Why all the hype? It’s nearly 100 items (books, courses, guides, checklists, etc.) “worth” nearly $6,000. BUT I really believe the value is only what it does to move you forward to your goals.

Another reason people overuse countdown timers and exclamation points during the week of the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit offering is that we get a commission if we sell it. This post contains an affiliate link to the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit which I purchased myself.

If you click on my link, I will receive a commission.

This IS NOT a Review of the 2018 Edition

Friends, this year I have chosen not to review the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit. With conferences, vacations, and family commitments, it was not feasible to review all of the resources within.

Do I Think the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit is Worth It?

Overall, the answer is yes, I do believe it’s worth it. Most of the resources aren’t just opt-in or content upgrade fodder. I recommend looking at your goals, looking through the offerings, and making a decision.

There are some underwhelming additions to the kit (obvious opt-in level content), but there are gems. See the summary below with what I’m using myself or recommending to clients (so far).

What I LIKE About the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit

There are always obvious standouts and I believe this year is no exception. I’ve followed some of the contributors for years, so I know the quality of their products.

The contents are laid out by topic, making it easy for bloggers to actually work on the tools which will help them with their immediate goals. And because it’s available for a year (lifetime if you download), depending on goals, the resources will continue to help.

What I DO NOT LIKE About the Genius Blogger’s Toolkit

It is curated, however, sometimes it can not be as selective as I would like. Over the past three years, obvious “free” opt-ins have made it into the kit and that just makes me mad, to be honest.

I know the Ultimate Bundles team really tried to limit that in 2018, so I’m looking forward to reviewing it.

Who Should / Should Not Get the Toolkit

Before you buy… I’m not the type of person to scream at you and say, “This tool is for everyone!!!!!!” {insert barf emoji}

This is for you if: you have clearly identified your goals, have gone over the offerings, and can see IMMEDIATE value. This is Q4, friends – this is not the time to meander about.

This is NOT for you if: you can’t keep your head above water right now. If you don’t have your goals identified, that’s where I would focus. Get some clarity in your blogging goals before taking on anything.

I’ll help you do that for free with a call.

I'm sharing an honest, no-holds-barred review of the resources in the 2017 Genius Blogger's Toolkit because I want you to spend your blogging income the best way for your business.
