I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and just had to record this video. This should serve as a warning to anyone who attempts to make money online. It’s not worth it!

And yes, Blog Mastermind launches tomorrow.

    Salient warning about the hair, Yaro. You’ve put me off product launches for life.

    I suppose that explains why my hair is always messy even when I comb it….

    That is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on a blog like this. Kudos to you for having the guts to show the damage. It’s sort of what I look like here at the mid-point of finals in medical school. CARRY ON, fair mentor. Carry on!

    LOL Yaro! Interesting video!

    Anyway, I believe that all your hard work in launching Blog Mastermind will all be worth it.

    Congrats in advance to your success and whatever comes with it when Blog Mastermind gets around!

    Keep going! (BTW, isn’t your hair like that all the while? ;) )

    Of course, you could have just had a sound file and not used the webcam and no-one would have seen you! But perhaps the fact that they can work from home and not worry about being dressed up appeals and they are not going to take any notice and go ahead anyway! Cheers Yaro

    Yaro.. U confuse us… U suppose to show us how to make money online.. What’s MasterMind mentoring about then?

    However U make $6,000/mo already… How? WIth so much great effort and risk ? (As no one guarantee U make money after you launch the product..)

    Why to follow you? You are open, and seems to say the truth, at any costs.. Thus it’s why we follow U… But Where?

    Yaro, I can’t decide whether this is a cunning trick on your behalf to make us all believe we can do it too. Or you just weren’t listening to Tim Ferris (4 hour work week).

    I am sure that tomorrow you will be knocked out by people signing up and you will realise you could have launched on 10% of the effort.

    Hey Yaro & all,

    Just a query. What’s the best (or best value) products to use to do your own videos/podcasts. What do you use? I’ve been thinking about adding this facility to my blog for a number of reasons and am interested in knowing how to do it.

    Thanks,
    Spanish Fry.

    PS. I saw my little mugshot in your blog article yesterday – great stuff! Good luck with the launch.

    Forgot to ask… do you have some “proper” video recording tool, or are you just use basic webcam & software that comes with it.

    Oh – and you are still going to launch that Mentorship program? Or is the hair more important… ;)

    Hi again Yaro,

    Just went through your Blog Profits Blueprint…really grateful for making that available for free.

    It really opened up my eyes to what I should have be doing at my own blog for the past six months, and your blueprint really tells me well on how I should proceed from where I am now.

    How to compound traffic sources…which methods you find more effective…really great information!!

    Thanks REALLY, for all the hard work you put into the Blueprint and yet make it available for free.

    Bonjour Yaro,

    Now that you are finish with the hard work, you deserve a real nice hair cut.

    Hi Yaro,

    Thank you for another marketing lesson. You sure know how to keep your audience warmed up!

    Yesterday I went through your Blog Profits Blueprint report, and the thing that struck me the most was when you write that, as bloggers, we should create a business, and not a job. Also your mentioning Michael Gerber and his E-Myth book is significant, at least to me.

    Thank you for all your hard work, and best of luck for tomorrow!

    Hey Jim – Canadian accent actually.

    My mum and dad speak like Canadians because they grew up there, but I was born in Australia.

    Every now and then a little aussie accent pops out, but mostly I sound Canadian.
