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.

Hi Yaro,
Thanks for the information. Very helpful. Even for people like me in other side of the world. I going to start my blogg in Spanish soon I hope you can help me.
See you soon.

Hey Yaro,
If this free stuff is so powerful what else will you be having in the coaching
program……….You start right from the beginning and gently move forward.
What I like best is the language.No high jargon that a beginner like me wont understand.No technical stuff or analysis.
I am very lucky to stumble upon your site at the right time and got a chance to view this wonderful video.
Thanks Yaro.You are the best.

Dear Yaro; very effective video, I subscribed to your paid course. I guess you could call that my endorsement. Looking forward to profiting from your expertise.
Thanks so much.
Don
Having quickly brushed through a number of the replies, and my own thoughts on your videos Yaro, I must say that your videos (and I`ve only looked at 2 so far) are EXTREMELY informative and are presented clearly enough at a slow pace to really knock your messages of expertise home. Perhaps the most influential piece of web-work I have ever seen.
I will need to review them another time and I will be taking my own specific key notes as the movies progress.
They have given me so much insight into many things. Some of the mistakes you mentioned and tenancies of lazy bloggers was a good self-check for myself.
I could write forever on how much I enjoyed your videos. I enjoyed them so much that I woke up at 6am this morning hungry, and the first thing I thought about (besides food) was the lessons and ideas that I learned the day before.
Thank you so much for the amount of time you have invested into these videos and let`s see if I can put some of the main key points into practical application myself sooner rather than later.
Keep on the look-out for an easy-dinner-guide in the form of an ebook in the upcoming future.
Well Yaro, your 10 videos are well presented, easy to follow and understand.
In fact the video on RSS feeds is the only one I have seen where it tells you exactly what to do and how to set up feedburner.
I have a feed up on feedburner, but had no idea how to automate things.
Absolutely down to the last detail. Others just tell you set up a feedburner account and that’s it.
Excellent videos and for FREE as well.
This video is great to anyone who just aware about blogging and social media. It will inspire and guide him a lot. I downloaded pdf file too just now will give look at it again to make its good impact on me.
Excellent video. A lot of ground work put in. The simplicity of the presentation gives me the confidence to start my own blog. Thanks Yaro! you are over delivering from the word GO. This video will be a turning point for a lot of newbees like me. I would say Yaro is the new generation of internet marketers who are thinking of their potential customers first. Its like the story of going to an African village and finding out that no one wore shoes. The first shoe salesman decided there was no market and left. The second shoe salesman saw the opportunity and thought the people the advantage of shoes and persuaded them to wear shoes. Yaro is that type of business man. Thanks again Yaro for showing me the way to Blogging
Hi Yaro, I just finished conversion blogging and Blog profits blueprint. I want to thank for being one of very few people/resources on the internet that provides actionable and real life information that I can and anyone can use to be successful at blogging. I am implementing your ideas in small steps each day since I do have a lot my plate but I am trying my best to stay on track using the information in your videos and PDFs. I appreciate the detailed information in the PDFs and the great information in the videos.
Thank You!
Yaro, you always provide great videos with great content. You sometimes say that it’s not all technical and flashy.. but that’s the point.. it’s straight forward great information presented in an easy to understand/watch way. I have never read one of your blog posts, watched any of your videos or listened to any of your interviews without learning a great deal and having so many ‘Ah-Ha’ moments. Oh and also… these are free!
Thanks again,
Whew. Just finished reviewing your two videos TWICE and my brain hurts.
You’ve set me on a new direction. The videos were precise, informative (a little entertaining) and extremly helpful. For six weeks I’ve been saying “I’m not participating in the recession.” Now, I have the tool to really make that happen and I’m beginning to believe I can avoid it.
Today is the first day of the new working year and I’m dedicating 2 hours per day to do Blog work. At this point most of it is research and listing questions. I already have some pretty good authentic content so once I get the fundamentals in place that part of it is ready to go. With more than 20 years experience (After age 50 you quit bragging about how many actual years you have) I truly am an expert in my field of promotional marketing and marketing products.
My website http://www.InnMkting.com has been a basic listing of promotional products and ideas for people to research and purchase. My first order of business is to figure out how to turn the left side of that website into my blog.
Can you tell me how that is done?
The second thing is how do I get my authenticate content — which I’m planning on posting in that area (the left side of my website) — distributed? I understood the two areas of comments on other sites, but am not clear how the words get to be part of a search someone does in Google or Yahoo.
Can you detail that for me?
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I’ve always wondered “who puts all this stuff on the internet?” Now I know,..it is US!
Yaro
very many thanks for your generosity. I really enjoyed and learnt much from both videos.
Now I have to figure out what to do about it
We don’t plan selling other peoples stuff from our sites but are interested in building contacts in the way you describe.
We’re also interested in affiliate marketing as a strategy for promoting our software.
Thanks to you we now have a much better understanding of how, and why it works.
Regards
Steve
Thank you for your generosity! I’ve read your Blogging Blueprint and downloaded The Roadmap. I’m looking forward to reading it this weekend. The videos are excellent, with very detailed and specific instructions. As soon as my tech guy can get over here to show me the cpanel on my website, I’m ready to rock-n-roll. Thanks again!
You rock, Yaro. I’ve paid for content that wasn’t as good as what you give away for free. One of these days I’ll be in your mastermind program for sure. God bless you.
Yaro,
Thanks for the very informative video. I have to take your advice however and just concentrate on 2-3 things to learn and implement. My head is already feeling overloaded with information.
I do have a question:
I have a real estate site that I have recently started blogging on. The blog is part of my site. Is it better to have a stand alone blog or one as part of a site?
Thanks again.
Hey Yaro,
great to have found you and your blogs.
for the last two weeks, i have been searching for websites and blogs, dealing with blogging matters and affiliate marketing, to learn how to blog. I think i can now say:
I´v found what i´v been looking for.
I must say, You are doing a fantastic job. Not to forget Gideon with his detailed professional Videos. It is just inspiring. I am now so greedy for the Videos to watch and for the two PDF documents
Roadmap to become a blogger and
blog profits
to read yet. There are of course a lot of detail informations i want to study yet.
Thank You and i will come back to You after studying these materials.

Hi Yaro,
Your videos are informative and motivating. I thought I knew a lot about the internet and websites. I have worked with Ebay, Yahoo, Ning, Ubid and others. I have been in IT for over 20 years, but a lot the steps you teach in your videos were new to me, (Blogging for one).
I look forward to prosperous relationship.
Thanks.
Walter
I have had a family blog for about a year now. I have just decided to test the waters to try making money with a blog. I really liked your video. I am a visual person and when I read informational material my mind tends to wonder. I do have a question though; I have not found any other web site or blog like mine. I am not sure how to really compare myself to “experts.” Do you have any suggestions? The only experts in my field (children’s products) seem to be consumer reports.
I was also wondering if I purchased your personal tutoring package, do I actually get to talk to you? Or is it just a set of standard e mails?
Shock and awe. Yaro, you did a great job and have sold me on the ideas of providing solid, relevant content of deep value. I am looking forward to working with you in expanding our business.
Yaro,
what a powerful set of videos. I look forward to the learning experience.
The videos and the programs offered by you in general, are easy to follow and motivational.
See you on the other side!
I am a novice blogger. Finding your “become a blogger” was a Godsend. I posted a piece on AC about how important I thought learning the basic process was. It may be in the review procedure right now. In the AC article I called you a medic, something about the title requirements. In a BlogEvolve post I also called you “blogger M.D.” Maybe a bit overstated but even as fresh as I am I can see that my peers are hung up on what to do next and need a little help, I advised seeing the “doc.” Making it simple and linear is your forte, thanks for keeping things simple. Better said, thanks for providing a solid base to launch from.
Yaro! Excellent pillar video. I recommended it to friends who love to blog, but don’t have an idea how to make money from it. I like the fact that you’ve included your webcam image into the slide show presentation. Yours John
I.Am.Inspired! I had to literally be pulled away from my laptop, as from the moment I viewed becomeablogger.com I was not able to let it go. For years, I’ve been dreaming about turning my passion for writing into an income (doesn’t everyone?). But although blogging has been popular for some time now, I never thought this was something feasible for me as I didn’t have the technical know-how to setup a blog and I didn’t have insight setup a successful blog. So I got stuck in the dreaming and planning phase and never got out. By means of the guidance of becomeablogger.com, I will be able to setup my own blog and start working towards success! I’ll be sure to refer others to you, as your guidance has been extremely helpful! And you’re crazy enough to give most of it away for free! So here is my “thank you” to Yaro and Gideon. You will definitely be hearing again from me!
KR,
Shanny Sommer
Great video but had problems listening to it because of all the buffering, i can gain a lot of info from your material, but a lot of it is confusing because i have never written blogs before, but i would like to learn, thanks.
Hi Yaro – You are really a very organized presenter with an accessible attitude. Just great! The ‘Conversion…’ video sure converted me and now I’m going through Video 2, and then planning to move to the text. This is all new to me, but I find your method of presentation so clear, that I can see a path of action that fits my ideas so far. Very motivating, lots of great content and real examples of success….a great learning experience!
Yaro, Thank you so much for the very teaching video. I really like you or style of teaching. You are straight talking with no hype or pretense. I will be looking at them again to refresh and pick up new information.
Very interesting. I have spent the last couple of days with your materials. I’m a total newbee; and this is very much like drinking from a fire hydrant. Will spend some time grokking it then be in touch, as I am planning to go forward. Am already outlining a business plan.
Yaro,
The video was cool and unique. It was not only educational, it also laid the reason why the stuff you are selling is a bank breaker (for my level) yet irresistible. On my wish list now. =)
Keep on!
Hi Yaro,
Really enjoyed the video, I have signed up to several subscription services which were all smoke and mirrors. I am now in the initial phases of finding my niche in the area of day trading (I trade currencies and futures for a living) combined with personal development and maintaing a great state of being. Will keep you posted via your blog comments.
Cheers
Mark
Wow, this and the other free video’s Yaro have done are fantastic for learning the ropes. I’ve never been seriously into blogging, but I have set wordpress up for a few friends. With the power of WP2.7 and Yaro’s techniques, I feel there is a lot of mileage and power here, and not just for bloggers. I think normal small businesses can also benefit from this thinking style too in relation to how their real world and Internet presense synergise.
Although I’m late to the party I still feel excited by all this and am very tempted to join the Mastermind program to get an accelerated training.
Thanks to Yaro for his great vid’s and plain speaking style which makes the content easily digestible.
Mark.
Yaro,
the video was great,really enjoyed it….but….I have just watched your video and sales page for Membership Site Mastermind and in advocating that the membership site is THE way to go, you appear to contradict all you have said about making money from blogging.
For example, you say that you did not really make stable, steady income until you set up the Membership site.
But in the blogging mastermind videos you say you were generating all this cash(steady cash)from blogging.
I was considering buying the Blogging mastermind program but am confused now and then what is the story with the ‘Become a Blogger’ programme?
So many products…so little time.
Hello Yaro,
What a great video. You really made me enthousiastic. In fact I have already signed up for the Blog Mastermind course. I ordered for the whole package at once, because I cannot wait to learn about all this fantastic stuff. I am an e-business consultant and work for small businesses in the Netherlands. My goal is to deliver small companies at lowest possible costs tools to get their profit from e-business. I really think that a high level blog is a good way to do so. After seeing your video I am even more convinced that this is the right direction for me, and that, in the process, I can earn part of my income from my blog. Cannot wait to learn from your strategy and tactics.
Thrilled to keep in touch with you.
Hi Yaro,
I have watched your first video and will watch the others as well soon.
You have some great ideas and I will weigh them all out carefully.
What I want to say right now is this. You did a GREAT job of presenting your ideas. Your video is clean, crisp and professional. I very much appreciate your well articulated, understated yet authoritative style of speaking.
I have worked in senior management positions for some major corporations and owned 5 of my own companies. I recognize talent when I see it and you certainly have a gift. Don’t stop using it!
Thanks for making this available Yaro. A great many people can benefit from what you have done, if they will but pay attention!
Cheers,
Gil
Hey Yaro,
You come across as a trustworthy person in your videos. That’s why I’ll keep watching them and likely become one of your paying students. I have been doing this as a hobby for awhile but I want to kick it up a notch and create something that will generate meaningful income. The best things that I have learned so far was (1) the importance of good original content and (2) the importance of building an email list. BTW, I signed up for Aweber (but I forgot to look for a link on your website first.) sorry… So far the set-up of my email list was simple and I have a good looking form for my financial newsletter onsite.
Yaro,
Absolutely great video, it cleared a lot of niggling little things up that I was struggling to understand.
You explained things clearly, precisely and with enough detail to help me move forward.
I’m looking forward the watching other videos.
Regards
Paul
Hi Yaro, This is the first time I have ever been excited or even interested in finding out about blogging. I did a Google search on it after seeing a short mention of it on my local news and found your websight after looking at a few others that didn’t interest me at all because they wanted $$$ before you could get any information about anything. I was about to give up when I clicked on you link and was much impressed. I have had both your videos for a couple of days now and have watched the first one a couple of times and am about half way through the second one (what can I say, I’m a little slow on the uptake) but so far I can’t find any catch so that puts me on the very impressed side of the page. All I can say is that your presentation, video, and information is excellent and is giving me much to think about in fact I have already been trying to think of a niche that may possibly be good for me without even trying to set anything up yet. Thank you for putting much clarification to many of my questions.
Hi Yaro, I was reading an article of Darrin Rowse on his Pro Blogger site, when I came across a Blog Mastermind banner. I was very impressed. I signed up for your newsletter and I am promoting Blog Mastermind on my Bloogle AdSense Blog I will definitely incorporate everything you teach, into my blogs. I can tell that everything your teaching is genuine. A lot of these programs that these so called “internet marketers” are putting out these days are junk. So when I watched your video I was surprised to see something so great, it’s not what I am used to seeing. If you don’t mind, I would like to write an article about you for one of my posts this month. Keep putting out the good work and I will keep taking your advice.
Hi Yaro. I am an artist with very little computer skills, i found your ad on artquid and was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to promote my web site,and what you think would be the best way to sell art on the web
Yaro,
It has taken me a long time to move forward but I still think you are doing the greatest thing possible by helping people. I am on my way, thanks to you!
Always grateful,
Joy
Hi, Yaro
Some time ago I made a search on “niche sites” and one of your articles on this topic fetched the first result in Google.
After reading it – I spent few weeks to read through virtually all posts I could find in your “Archives” and starting blogging has become only the question of time.
Then it was a series of video tutorials by your friend Gideon Schalwick which helped me to setup the environment and start acting.
And now it has come to this video and the “Blueprint” report. Video is great – though after reading so many articles of yours it didn’t bring any brand new ideas, but it is an excellent summary (or more exactly introduction) to the business model of blogging.
Hopefully, some day I will be able to participate in one of your coaching programs. You seem to be a trustworthy person (in the world of business sharks
) – and you are the first person I would spend money on getting advice from, though currently I’m not in the position to do so.
Good luck,
Crystal Tao
Hi Yaro,
I just want to say that I have watched both videos and I thought they were presented very well. The information presented was very good and informative. I don’t know the first thing about blogging and the things they can be used for but after watching your videos I am very interested and am looking forward to testing things out and making them work. I will most definitely be referencing back to your resources that you have available. I know it probably sounds easier to get started than it really is but am going to give it a stab. Thanks for sharing your experience and making it available.
Hi Yaro,
The videos are great. I’m not new to internet or email marketing. Like you, I’ve taken some of the courses with the big names. And I’m running a blog, too. I must say, that I’m worried about offered a product to my list. I’ve been at it six months now, and the traffic is consistent, but not growing. I’ve been confused about what to do, so I’ve been looking around for new information. I’m enjoying yours, and it’s got me refocusing on the blog – my focus has started to wander, I started creating other website and affiliate marketing stuff. Maybe I’m avoiding the next step?
Anyway, if you’re interested . . . here’s my blog. It’s in the green/sustainability niche.

I’m looking forward to your other videos!
Best
Rob
Hello Yaro, I watched your videos and liked what i saw. Your style was smooth and easy to digest. I will watch them again to see what i missed and then i will make my move. I have a few good ideas that i think will work and i will keep you posted. Thanks again and keep it up. Matthew
Good video, I will have to check it out further even though I swore I was not going to buy another internet marketing product..
Hi Yaro
Lots for me to absorb,thanks!!
Great video Yaro! It certainly tied a lot of things in and focused me on what the important things to do in order to generate traffic. I certainly have some decisons to make and work to do!
Thanks Again!
