Have you ever wondered how some people seem to have all the time in the world and accomplish so much?
It can often feel like you’re just working harder and harder but not seeing the rewards. If anything you’re putting more time in and receiving the same money in return.
But it’s possible to completely change this by shifting your mindset to focus on one thing…
What is your effective hourly rate (EHR)?
Kelan from The Savvy Couple has completely changed his life through blogging since 2016. His wife, Brittany, and himself have created a 6 figure business with no prior experience in blogging, marketing or selling.
Another completely normal couple who have done extraordinary things to help others manage their money and time way better.
In this podcast with Kelan Kline from The Savvy Couple, we chat about:
- How Kelan’s EHR has moved from $26 to over $300 in 3 years
- Why Kelan gave up his dream job- and was OK about it
- How the first year blogging is a real grind that people often overlook
- The best thing about being a full-time blogger

Handy tools and resources mentioned in the Podcast
There was a lot mentioned in the podcast but here are some of the key ones…
- Work Less Make More (non-aff link)- I’ve since read the book (audio & kindle) and ended up taking so many notes and doing the tasks. The EHR is a game-changer and James Schramko has so many tips on how to increase this that is perfect for bloggers/ online business owners.
- Pinterest scheduler- Tailwind (this is an affiliate link- you can try scheduling 100 pins for free and if you upgrade you get a $15 discount)
- Keyword finder– a keyword research tool
- Ad espresso– Facebook ads (I never heard of them but they sound really cool. You can plug in 5 different headlines, descriptions, images and it works out the best combination for you… Kelan is smashing FB ads!)
- FB Side Hustle– Bobby Hoyts FB ads course
None of the others are affiliate links as I have not personally tried them. But Kelan certainly knows what he’s talking about!

Thanks for having me on the show Mike.
It’s always nice to get some time and talk to other online entrepreneurs. Seriously had a blast talking to you.
Stay in touch and best of luck this year!
Thanks again for your time Kelan, I really appreciate it.
It’s amazing how much you’ve achieved in such a short amount of time, you should be super proud of yourselves.
I’ll stay in touch for sure. Hopefully, we’ll cross paths at FinCon or somewhere at some point
Definitely have pinned this and will come back to further review. Thanks for sharing. I look forward into looking into advancing further using Facebook Ads and you guys look the go-to people to go to!
Thanks, Elizabeth!
Yeah, Kelan really knows his stuff about Facebook ads. If you check the show notes it mentions the course (by Bobby Hoyt) that he took and recommends. I’ve heard this is a great course to learn more about FB ads before too.
The Ad Espresso tool sounds pretty amazing too.
Hope that helps!
