7 Insights Every Blogger Should Know

Mitch Wilson — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 23:00:38 +0000

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… Read the rest of this entry »

How To Segment Your Subscribers When You Run A Blog Business

Yaro Starak — Fri, 20 May 2011 10:23:06 +0000

I was reading Dee’s recent article in his customer segmentation series where he talked about how to segment your blog readers.

Do You Want To Become A Professional Blogger?

Yaro Starak — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 06:22:03 +0000

Back in 2004 when I started blogging there really wasn’t anything such as a professional blogger. Those who were making money as a blogger weren’t talking about it… yet.

Over the next two years the idea of blogging for money, possibly even as a career, became a reality. Blog networks started up paying bloggers a salary, thanks to programs like… Read the rest of this entry »

The Triangle Of Trust Technique

Yaro Starak — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 10:31:21 +0000

I just watched Frank Kern’s latest free video called “Sneak Attack“, which for the first half is a bit of Frank’s usual silly antics where he attempts to sneak attack John Reese at his new south coast headquarters.

If you don’t have much time and want to zip through to the practical stuff, go through about half way… Read the rest of this entry »

Why Don’t Bloggers Understand Email Marketing?

Yaro Starak — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 16:11:36 +0000

Over the weekend I worked hard on video presentations for the release of Blog Mastermind. Obviously the core topic of the videos is how to make money via blogging, however I’m introducing a new form of blogging for profit, something that can lead to income quicker, it’s more stable and in the long haul is a much better model for… Read the rest of this entry »

Will Feedburner Feed Counts Include AWeber Email Subscribers?

Yaro Starak — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 22:46:06 +0000

Andy Beard reported on his blog that AWeber will begin to report email subscriber numbers to Feedburner.

This triggered a line of thought in me that I hadn’t considered before. Let me tell you why…

I’ve been an AWeber user for ages now and it’s been my RSS-to-email service of choice for forever too. I never used any other… Read the rest of this entry »

Read This Article Today Or You Miss Out! Deadline Driven Marketing

Yaro Starak — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 01:23:25 +0000

One of the most powerful forces in marketing is a deadline.

Like other skeptical observers of the techniques Internet marketers pull to land more sales, I feel a sense of discomfort when told that a product is going off the market at a certain date. Yet, at the same time, I feel compelled – if I really want this product,… Read the rest of this entry »

Will Blog Marketing Replace Email Marketing?

Yaro Starak — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 03:47:03 +0000

I’m in a unique position compared to most Internet marketers who have recently completed product launches. I was possibly one of the first to do a “Product Launch Formula” style launch with the advantage of an established blog, with an RSS readership as large as my email list.

Bloggers look at blogging as something they do for fun, for creative expression, for meeting people, for making money directly from advertising and affiliate promotions or indirectly by promoting a business. Most bloggers are either not blogging for money or… Read the rest of this entry »
