A few weeks ago on one of my Yaro.TV daily videos I talked about solving problems by learning how other people have solved the same problem before you.
You can study other people’s solutions and then copy them to solve your problem. Easy.
Here’s the video –
A week later I published another video talking about how you can’t … Read the rest of this entry »
Many years ago I coined the phrase “Pillar Article” or sometimes called, “Pillar Content“, to describe how to create great blog content.
To my surprise, it really caught on in the blogging about blogging community and many thousands of bloggers use it to describe what good blog content is.
If you have never heard … Read the rest of this entry »
What is more important: quality or quantity?
The easy answer to this long and heated debate is both are very important – and I’ll give you that, they both are, but for free content I am in the quantity camp. Go ahead and paste me and leave 1,000 comments telling me I’m wrong – I don’t care, I will … Read the rest of this entry »
I remember when I was putting together the Blog Mastermind course four years ago, writing lessons on how to produce powerful blog content. I felt very confident teaching this area except for one topic – how to come up with effective blog headlines – which I felt deserved an entire course in and of itself.
The headline is the … Read the rest of this entry »
I like to use my time and the space Yaro gives me here at Entrepreneurs-Journey to base my articles on questions I often receive and this one will be no different as I am going to discuss how “Mitch’s Blog” became a company with 18 current writers.
While the building a company part I have talked about in … Read the rest of this entry »
I had conversations with two people in the previous weeks who were considering blogging for the first time, or at least taking it serious for the first time.
It’s interesting to speak to people who are considering this path, especially hearing what stops them from doing it. Most people never start a blog, and of those who do, very … Read the rest of this entry »
Mitch is in charge of a well over six figure blog empire in the sports niche, which he started by focusing on college football in the USA.
He was one of the very first people to join Blog Mastermind. He also happens to have the distinction of attending almost every single coaching call I have done since I … Read the rest of this entry »
People often come to me as an expert at monetizing blogs. Although my experience making money online is not limited only to blogs, I’ve been able to extract a lot of income from not necessarily a lot of traffic.
For example, my proofreading business was able to generate a salary level income – sometimes as much as $15,000 in … Read the rest of this entry »
This is potentially one of the most important questions you need to ask yourself as a blogger, and yet is where I see pretty much every blogger go wrong. I’ve even had trouble with this myself over the years each time I redesign my blog.
The challenge, when coming up with a blog design, is to ensure your blog … Read the rest of this entry »
There’s an interesting challenge I’ve come up against many times, which I think most professional bloggers know well.
The challenge is how to sell something without using all that horrible “hype” that Internet marketers use.
But wait a second. Hype actually works, or at least good “sales copy” works if you call convincing people to buy what you sell … Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve done a lot of online launches – about eight all up if you include closing down and reopening promotions – and each one included heavy support from affiliates, some of whom run popular blogs, including Problogger, John Chow, Shoemoney, Copyblogger and DailyBlogTips.
During a launch, to get a feel for the pulse of how … Read the rest of this entry »
Update: The MP3 audio version of the Roadmap report has been added to the download page and it’s free too. Now you can read and listen to what it takes to build a great blog!
I’m very excited to announce that my latest report, co-authored with Gideon Shalwick, my partner in the Becomeablogger.com video site, is now ready for … Read the rest of this entry »
During the last few live question and answer sessions with my Blog Mastermind students at least one person every call asks for help determining whether they have a good choice for a blog topic.
Given that new people join the program each week, it’s not surprising that question crops up over and over again. Everyone new to blogging … Read the rest of this entry »
I saw this coming years ago and thankfully I made adjustments back then too.
If you watched my video on Conversion Blogging and the blog posts leading up to the release of the video, you know I was advocating a move away from the Page View Slave (PVS) model of blogging for money.
The PVS model relies on the … Read the rest of this entry »
In 2007 I decided my blog was due for a new look, but it was not just about a cosmetic face-lift. I wanted to improve usability, clarity and most importantly, highlight a very important aspect of my business – the Blog Profits Blueprint/Blog Tips newsletter email opt-in.
I’ve worked with a good designer friend now … Read the rest of this entry »
This is a topic I’ve wanted to chime in on for a long time now. Many bloggers, some well known, others not so well know, have been talking money. In particular how much can you earn from blogging.
Combining all my income sources outside of my business, the total for March 2007 comes to $6549.52 – and most of … Read the rest of this entry »
At the start of March I bought a bunch of new products, including Product Launch Formula from Jeff Walker ($997), the Dot Com Secrets Free CD from Russell Brunson ($7.95 for shipping) and paid half of the $997 fee to attend the World Internet Summit in Melbourne. On top of that I subscribe to Perry Marshall’s Renaissance club… Read the rest of this entry »
