Caroline Middlebrook has been on my radar for a long time. I enjoy her writing style, her candor and her honesty and of course, she writes about the industry I love, and mentions my name now and then on her blog too, which is guaranteed Yaro-linkbait. It was about time that I invited her on to my podcast for an interview.
In this call you will hear Caroline recount her history online, and she’s been in the game for a long time, even doing pay per click marketing back when Overture was the main player and AdWords didn’t exist! You will also hear a lot about Caroline’s techniques for building traffic to her blog, how she built up her audience (currently 5000+ subscribers) and how she’s managed to make at least $1,000 every month (as high as $3,000 some months).
The Bloggers Bible
The Bloggers Bible is Caroline’s latest project, a new book that teaches her methodology for building a successful blog and then generating an income from it. Caroline has some very unique ideas, is a great teacher and is the least hypey person I know in the industry, and her book does a great job of representing all these aspects.
Caroline is offering a 30% discount off her Bloggers Bible just for my readers, but there’s a catch – it expires January 16th – so you have one week to save yourself some money if you want her book.
You might wonder why bother getting Caroline’s book if you already follow my training on blogging? There’s a simple answer to that – she’s different.
We share many of the same philosophies and Caroline is a Blog Mastermind graduate, but as you will hear in the interview, she doesn’t agree with everything I teach and has her own system, so if you like what she says in the interview, definitely grab her book while the discount is available.

What I find amazing is looking back at all the earnings reports month by month. You can see how far Caroline’s come in the last year. I last checked her blog a few months ago and it’s amazing to see how much more money she’s making per month now.
Hats off to you Caroline.
I have read caroline’s blog and bookmarked it after I read the first article. I found my self bookmarking this site too after one read. I hope my blog can be like this some day. Thanks.
I liked Lindsay’s comment. It kind of confirms that I’m on the right path. I have a large site with tons of content but it’s mostly instructional and the smaller sites that I have that are more product related have a way better future potential.
Really informative podcast, just listened to it and it has really inspired me to try some new things and given me the confidence to keep going with the things I am already doing. Thanks for sharing this
