Note especially for Beachcomber:

If I was a retired chef, I could think of all kinds of ways to make money online. I read once about a lady who’s making 6 figures a year and now all she does is post a recipe or two a week. How about little how-to-prepare videos? Find someone who will drop-ship good chef grade cutlery and have a shopping cart offering them.

Then there’s the guy who makes $3-4000 a month with his blog about coffee! It’s all in choosing the niche, something you know and other people want to know about.

I started a drop ship business selling circular saw blades in 2003 (and hey, I’m almost 60 now!) and it’s cleared a consistent $1000 a month. I’m not using PPC anymore because I get top ranking in Google for my best selling lines. I could do more business but honestly, that business is too hands-on and I still work a full time job.

My full time work is in drug and alcohol treatment and I’m just starting a blog about growth in recovery. I bet I’m going to find numerous ways to monetize that, selling self-improvement products. Think outside the box.

Sorry about the ramble, but hey, you CAN change your mindset and run with the young bucks!

I have so much respect for Leigh and Yaro (not to mention Gideon, without whom we wouldn’t have those awesome video tutorials). It’s great to hear how someone has implemented the programme, made it work and is now moving into the next level. What makes it “real” to me is to to hear real honesty about the mistakes they’ve made in the pas and how they’ve overcome them. So much of the internet marketing material that’s out there is so aggressively sales-oriented that it really turns me off. Becomeablogger.com doesn’t feel like that at all. I’ve just signed up to the Premium Blogger programme and I couldn’t recommend it more highly. Step-by-step guidelines from the basics – getting a site up and running – to the more sophisticated and important elements – how to market it, get the SEO working etc. I really feel like I’m getting value for money and I hope one day, in the not too distant future, to be one of Yaro’s interviewees (Aim high, I always say!) Meanwhile,well done Leigh, Yaro and Gideon, and thank you for sharing your advice. Best wishes, Kimberley

This just goes to show how fast someone can make their dreams a reality if they’ll work hard enough for it. Congrats Leigh! Success stories like this are a great inspiration to millions of other bloggers trying to find success.

I believe that if you put the efforts in they will pay off. Consistent effort and follow through are the key.
I think beachcomber is on the verge of success, but has not followed through all the way. – Not leaving blog comments, not joining clickbank, etc etc.
You also sound like you are allocating your resources to the wrong things. You will invest in IM courses for $97 a pop, but not pay $50 to join clickbank? It doesnt make sense. You sound ADHD and you need someone to coach you with your focus and follow through.

Yaro – you have inspired me to launch a few blogs of my own and I really want to thank you for the information you give out for free. I am going to take what you have given and work them until I get stuck. Maybe I will be a future mastermind student.

I’ve downloaded several of the podcasts over the last few days, and this one and the ones with Alborz and the college football guy are the best so far. I love these case studies! All three of these people have shown a willingness to work hard (I love that Leigh takes her laptop with her and leverages spare bits of free time to get things done) and be realistic about results. Inspiring!

I’ve got a chunk of my next mid-month paycheck set aside for Blog MasterMind tuition. I’m already getting WordPress installed (I’ve used it for years on my own sites), installing plug-ins and themes, etc., and I’m starting to pull together content from course manuals I wrote about three years ago.

Beachcomber,
First off, you have to get out there and make some friends. You cannot succeed on your own on the internet. Just going to your site and hitting publish is not going to make traffic come to your site. You have to go get it and bring it back. Without friends you cannot win on the internet. You have to get links and the only way someone is going to link to you is if they know you exist. Otherwise you have no chance.

There are tons of ways to do this. Leave useful comments on blogs like this, not the whiny this won’t work type comments you’ve left on this thread. I guarantee if you leave a useful comment a the top of a new post on this blog you will get more than 10 visitors. And if you’ve been working hard for 4 years like you say you have plenty of good content to send those readers to.

My blog is certainly not huge by any means, but it is 5 months old and has had 28,000 views. Just a touch more than the 10-20 you say is possible. Haven’t made huge sums of money yet, but last month I crossed the $100 mark for the first time. (That is in the really profitable niche of politics, oh wait it’s not at all.) I have to know, what in the world are you spending $100 a week on? I haven’t spent anywhere close to that in 5 months.

Anyways, I hope you continue to work at it, but you are going to have to change your strategy some. The definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior and expecting different results. Go out there, meet some new people, and have some fun.
