Conversion Blogging Video Is Live

I’ve been talking about it for long enough. Now is your chance to watch my latest video. Here’s the link -

This video covers a form of Internet marketing that combines the traffic and raw exposure power of a blog, with the direct marketing power of email lists.

I call it Conversion Blogging, and it’s the basis for my entire six-figure online business.

I honestly believe this system represents a much easier methodology for making money with blogs. I’m not saying you shouldn’t make money from traditional blog monetization methods like advertising (I still make a big chunk of change from sponsorship), but a blog can be so much more if you combine it with what has worked in the Internet marketing and direct marketing worlds for years (almost centuries when you look at offline mail order).

Of course for this system to work you can’t ignore blogging fundamentals - you still need to know what goes into building a great blog.

To help with this, after you watch the Conversion Blogging video, you can enter your name and email to watch my second video, a brand new visual presentation of the Blog Profits Blueprint and grab an updated copy of the text version of the Blueprint too.

I’ll let the videos do the explaining, so please go watch now, and then tell me what you think in comment replies here.

Great Video and great resource for information. I just watched and I’ve started watching your Blog Profits Blueprint Video. I’ve gone through both of your programs and I have had a very high return on investment. Not through online advertising but through the service that I provide which is Wedding DJ. I’ve even gone to start another blog called http://www.blogginforweddingvendors.com which is just getting off the ground.

thanks for all your advice Yaro.

P.S. Yours is the ONLY program I have ever purchased on the Internet and it was well worth it and more than already paid for.

Now your talking, Yaro. I just did the simplest thing, made my newsletter sign-up more visible, and now I’m getting lots of subscriptions. I can really see how the email list is still the best form of marketing. I completely get your ideas here. I’ve been getting a feel for where you were going over the past few months.

Will any of this stuff be incorporated in Blog Mastermind? Will that program change? And will us old timers there get to see any new material?

Tom - Glad you liked the video. Yes, Blog Mastermind graduates will continue to receive all new content I release into the program as I promised.

The core training is not going to change as it already covers how to build a great blog and use email marketing. It’s critical everyone goes through that so they can build a profitable blog.

What I am going to do is add some new content to further expand on the Conversion Blogging process and make it a bit clearer for students.

All Blog Mastermind students, past and present, will have access to the resources.

Yaro, I absolutely loved what I saw of the video. Unfortunately it wouldn’t play any further than 27 minutes. Sooo frustrating not to see the last 5!!

Anyway - great content, great advice. Looking forward to watching more.

Hi Louise,

You should be able to watch the whole video if you just let it load. Click play, then click pause after it starts. Let it finish loading (let the black line go to the end) and then watch.

You can skip to the last 5 minutes this way too.

Hi! Yaro, I’ve watched your two videos and find it very educational but my only problem is building an email list. I’ve already research on that in the net for a free opt email service but unfortunately none. I don’t have money to do that right now. Any tips you can give to me? Thank You! I’ll be waiting.

Hi Jan,

An email autoresponder is one thing I don’t recommend you find the cheapest option.

Simply put - you need AWeber or GetResponse.

Save up until you can afford the $20 a month it costs and then buy one of these services. If $20 is going to break the bank, then you might want to look for a part time job or focus on building up that $20 from your blog first through advertising

Fantastic job, Yaro. I’m having a great time going through the content. I’ve written a short blog series to help promote the videos and BMM. I hope you get lots of great new students. I’m nearly compelled to go through the course again! :D

Hey Yaro

Your online video skills are getting better and better! Great to see!

Loved the first and second video. I knew that I would get some great value from the first video, but thought the second video would just be a re-hash of the Blog Profits Blueprint.

So, you could imagine my surprise as I watched the second video. It really opened up my eyes to new dimensions of blogging which I did not see previously. Even though the video was quite long, it didn’t feel that way because of the new insights that I gained.

I don’t know what it is exactly, but there’s just something great about “watching” the Blog Profits Blueprint as apposed to just reading it. Perhaps because I’m a visual learner, it had an extra impact. But it certainly brought the whole thing to life for me.

Thanks for putting these together!

I just finished watching the first video but I haven’t watched the second since I already have a plethora of ideas I need to act on before I can stuff any more into my brain.

I always love your content because you’re so open and honest. I feel with many other marketers that there is a hidden agenda somewhere, but not with you. You’re to the point, and you make no bones about the fact that you’re opening up your Blog Mastermind program which I really appreciate and I’m sure everyone else does too. At the same time, you still provide everyone with information they can use and profit from, whether they join the program or not.

Anyhoo, back to my ideas so I can start watching the second video. Thanks!

Great video, Yaro. Don’t worry about not being a professional video type person; you did a lot better than I would have! Cameras, speakers, scary, eep!

I remember reading your Blog Profits Blueprint, and this was a nice companion to that.

I’m already a six-figure blogger working part-time, but darned if I’m not tempted to sign up for your site. :)

I’ve been really lazy about the entrepreneurial aspect, and am really relying on the advertising model right now, but I want to expand and start writing books (selling my own product instead of someone else’s!) and use my blog as a means of gathering together the folks I think would most benefit from them (AKA the “target audience” heh).

I’ll think about your course. Take care, and thanks for the video!

Love the videos, good production, good content and I’m starting to pine for imac. Your material begs more questions than I have answers. I’m seriously looking at the BMM.

I’m a big fan of the idea of test and measure or “‘ave a go an’ stand back an’ see where it falls”, so I like what you said about the organic evolution of your first blog, can you expand on that a bit? It sounds like you gradually dug an inch wide, mile deep trench in your mile wide, inch deep pond.

Cheers…Ty

Hi Ty,

I’d love to expand on my history, but to be honest this blog is my history.

Go back through the archives and you can learn plenty about the evolution of a profitable blog business.

I look forward to the opening of Blog Mastermind again won’t make the mistake of missing it and losing money. Thanks for your expertise. I am studying your blog archives as we speak and will prepare for your launch.

Warm Regards,

Yaro,

I loved the videos, and in particular your comments on “moving the free line”. It inspired me to write a series of posts on my blog (I’m not including the link because I don’t want to be accused of comment spam!) the first of which went live this morning.

As you can guess by the name of my website, I’m pretty much all about the free line. Yet, if a person wants traffic to their website they can never stop looking for opportunities to over deliver.

One of my favorite ways of over delivering is with video, but I have been frustrated by many video sites not allowing larger or higher resolution videos. Many of my videos are screen casts and they require 640×480 to be comfortably viewed and readable. Fortunately YouTube now offers that (perhaps the others will follow suite soon).

Anyway, I just wanted to say how much I appreciated the free videos.

Roger.

Many thanks for this video Yaro. I’d been reading a lot about setting up an email list but feeling a little confused about how to differentiate it from my blog. Watching your video has given me an excellent explaination of the function of the email list and loads of ideas. Thankyou so much for being so generous with your knowledge!

Hey Yaro,

Fantastic video, as always. I know you were a little worried about the production - but really the focus on the content and your basic command of video production saved the day. :) I learned several new things watching the video and even if it wasn’t attached to an affiliate promotion, I would have definitely wanted to forward it on to potentially interested folks.

Thanks, as always, for putting out consistently solid content in an industry that seems hellbent on lowering the bar and duplicating other people’s apparent successes.

I’ve watched the first video, and it was great. Then I tried to download the pdf file, but I keep getting this message, “There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.” I tried several times to save it without success. Has anyone else had a problem or is it just *my* connection?

I found both videos brilliant - and very easy format to follow and absorb the fundamentals. I have just finished Blog Profits Blueprint which just seems to build on everything else.
And it certainly poses the question for me as to whether I would bother o have a web site set up with a blog ‘attached’.
I am really keen to get my coaching practices online and so I find Yaro’s information invaluable - now, about that ‘niche’ hmmn!

Yaro,

I must say I could not stop watching the video. As a new blogger it is very useful. How many times did you have to rehearse? You seemed to flow really well for the whole hour.

As soon as I build my authority blog I will be ready to implement your system.

Thank you for the great free information.

Hey Yaro,

Yet more great content! I’ve been going over the Blog Profits Blueprint for a couple of weeks now and it’s great stuff. However, I wonder if I haven’t already messed up. My blog is hosted on blogger.com instead with a regular hosting company. Not sure how I’m going to change that….any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the great content!

I’ve also downloaded the Blog Profits Blueprint and will read that shortly.

Looking forward to the next in the series.

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and observations with us. I like your approach and teaching style, as well as the low-key, relaxed-yet-authoritative vibe of your presentations.

As I had expected, I enjoyed the new video and can see how conversion blogging could work, but I need to figure out how to apply it to the blog I’m planning to set up. I imagine the concept working best with blogs that offer instruction, but the blog I’m considering setting up is more of a niche magazine-like blog.

So, I’m not sure how to apply conversion blogging to that kind of blog. It’ll take some thought, but I’ll come up with something eventually. Meanwhile, I’ve got content and pillars to build. :) Plenty to do for now.

Thanks again, Yaro, for some great information.

Dear Yaro, it was a great video because it gave tips which I could almost instantly apply on all my blogs, thus making me more money in the eBiz which I run.

I’m looking forward to listening to your upcoming audio as we could learn a thing or two from your million-dollar secret interviewee.

This makes all of us more money, finally! :)

Phew, what a relief, no more debts.. lol.

 
MyAvatars 0.2

I’ve watched the first part and took notes while watching, basically, copy the outlines you have presented and note down your explanation for each point. That way, I was able to let the teachings simmer in my mind. I’m going to do the same for the second video. Although, I have downloaded the .pdf of “Blog Profits Blueprint” somehow, I could not finish reading it. I’m glad that you have come out with the video version.

The “Conversion Blogging” is what I needed for my blog I have created (also through your help and Gideon’s in “Become a Blogger” videos). I really would want to join the “Blog Mastermind” training but I guess, I have to pass for now since I need to save some money for that. But I would like to thank you for making it possible for people like me to learn the ropes for free through your blogs, videos, e-books, etc.

Yaro, you’re the best!
