It’s been a great week - one of the best in my life so far. As I type this there are 233 members already in Blog Mastermind, which is much better than I expected for the first week. To be honest I would have been happy with 100, but I’m overjoyed so many people have decided to give Blog Mastermind a go and I’m eager to impress.

I just added the second e-lesson and the first member blog case study to the membership area and I want to jump back into the forums to answer more questions, but before I do that I have to make a quick blog post for anyone still sitting on the fence about Blog Mastermind to let you know that the early bird discount period is about to end.

Thursday morning USA time and late Thursday evening Aussie time it will be exactly seven days since I opened the doors to the program and the early bird special is only for the first week, so I’m sticking to my word and upping the price very soon.

To take advantage of the discount, click here to sign-up -

If you are still undecided about what exactly you get as a Blog Mastermind member, take a look at the behind the scenes video I released last week, which is available to watch from here -

The sales page also details everything you ever wanted to know about Blog Mastermind, which you can read here -

If you are going on holiday or something goes wrong with the sign-up and you are concerned you may miss the early bird price, please contact me so I know who you are when you request the discount price after the early bird period ends.

If you decide Blog Mastermind is not for you, at least please take some steps to action what you learned in the Blog Profits Blueprint and start working towards earning as much as $5,000 a month from only two hours a day blogging. The Blueprint is full of my best ideas to work on to become a serious professional blogger - and it’s free.

Server Move Complete

In other news, the server move for Entrepreneurs-Journey is done and if you are reading this from the website and not via RSS, then the page should have loaded for you a bit quicker than previously. Already I’ve received some comments about the speedier download times.

I’ve got an article coming up next that looks and the difference between marketing through RSS vs marketing through email. I’ve just been through a product launch that made use of both mediums, so I’ve had a few insights into how they compare.

That’s it for now!

I woke up this morning and looked in the mirror and just had to record this video. This should serve as a warning to anyone who attempts to make money online. It’s not worth it!

And yes, Blog Mastermind launches tomorrow.

A big welcome to the people who came through from Brian Clark’s post on his Copyblogger.com blog recommending the Blog Profits Blueprint.

With the extra boost from Brian I’m very happy to report that the Blog Profits Blueprint PDF version has now been downloaded more than 5,000 times in total in under two weeks.

Don’t Let Robots Do The Talking

I wanted to get an audio version of the Blueprint done and my friend West suggested I try a one of the text-to-voice conversion tools available.

We selected a nice female voice to do the audio and then submitted the Blueprint. The result was a nice sexy sounding…robot.

I wasn’t to happy with a robot for the audio version of the Blueprint so instead I decided to record the audio myself.

I sat down and two hours later had read the Blueprint from start to finish and recorded an MP3 file.

It’s not too bad if I do say so myself. It’s 100% my voice and while I’d prefer a nice classy British female voice, I’m sure most of you can handle listening to me for just over an hour and half if you want to absorb all the great information in the Blog Profits Blueprint.

You can get the new audio version of the Blog Profits Blueprint from here -

Information On The Run

One of the best times to consume information is while on the run. In my case I listen to a lot of audio while on trains, driving in my car or when going for walks. Using your idle and transport time to learn new things is a great way to leverage your most scarce resource - time.

I recommend you download the audio version of the Blueprint even if you have already read it and next time you head for a drive or catch public transport, listen to me talk all about making money from blogging.

Some of you have PDAs or other portable computer devices or mobile phones, and thanks to Andrew Boyd from http://facibusreviews.com/blog/ I can now offer a .mobi version of the Blog Profits Blueprint for reading on the run.

The audio and mobi versions are both available after requesting the Blueprint from here -

Tomorrow I’ll finally announce the date of release of the mentoring program and you only have to wait just a little over one week before you can join.

I can’t wait to start working with the first group of students and I hope that includes you.

Here’s to your blogging success,

You can listen to the free sample here: http://freeiq.com/davidbainyarointerview

David Bain, an Internet marketing trainer from Scotland grabbed me for an interview about blogging. He asked some great questions and is using the recording as a bonus audio in his upcoming 13 Pillars of Internet Marketing product.

You can sample a free 10 minute excerpt from the full interview hosted on the Free IQ service (more on this new company by Brad Fallon soon).

In the free sample you will hear me talk about blog hosting, themes and plug-ins and outsourcing blog design. In the full interview we cover a lot about blog marketing, strategy and tactics. It’s one of the most in-depth interviews I’ve done because David really had some great questions.

If you want the full interview you either need to purchase the 13 Pillars product from David, or wait for Blog Mastermind as I’ll provide it to my students as well.

I just completed updating the Articles Page of this blog, adding the content I had written over the last few months.

If you haven’t seen it before, I maintain a “Best of” page linking to the meaty articles I have written under various topic headings. During this update I also created new headings to drill down some of the topics.

I’ve been writing this blog now for two and a half years and in that time I think I must have written a book or two worth of content. If you haven’t had a chance, please visit my articles page and have a read of my previous best work.

My Favorites

As I went through my articles I was reminded of articles I really enjoyed writing, which I believe offer some great insights. Here’s a short list of some of my favorites:

• What Is The 80/20 Rule And Why It Will Change Your Life
• Why You Must Go Deep In The Changing Internet Business Landscape
• Pricing Points, Perceived Value And How To Make More Money Per Sale
• Why A Preeminent Business Is Superior To Money Making Opportunities
• 8 Pitfalls To Avoid When Starting An Internet Business
• The Music Industry Evolution - How Localisation, Social Networks, Niche Markets and the Long Tail Will Change Music Forever
• Personal Congruency At 21? How To Be Confident At Any Age
• Are We Chasing the Wrong Dreams?
• How To Buy A Website And Flip It For Profit

If you haven’t been an Entrepreneurs-Journey reader since the beginning, have a read of one or two of the articles above and see what came before.
