I've noticed that you read my blog a lot, THANKS! Lemme know if there's ever anything I can do for you email me, twitter me, or facebook me
Ever since I started blogging everyday the benefits have been amazing. The traffic, the sales, the relationship building, the exposure… Just on and on. I am 100% sold on the power of blogging now and thought I should share with you where I’m getting my ideas from.
If you take action on these lessons like I have then you too can start having an average of 700 visits per day like I’m getting now. That’s a lot of traffic compared to what I’m used to when driving just normal Adwords clicks to an affiliate offer and the best part is all this traffic has been FREE!
Below you’ll find the best of bloggin’ about bloggin’ blogs and blog posts that I’ve found in my research…
The King Of Kings… ProBlogger
Problogger.net is run by Darren Rowse and this guy REALLY knows his stuff. There is an immense amount of information on his site for people interested in starting a blog. Personally, I don’t think there is any course or ebook you could buy that’s better then what he gives out for free on his blog.
Before you head on over there I want to give you my opinion on where you should start. He has sooo much information that it can be intimidating to know where you should begin.
First just to kinda get to know Darren and what he writes about I suggest you scroll down to the very center of the site. You’ll see a little section called “Best of Problogger.” I’m sure you’ll have a jaw-dropping experience just from that alone.
Then I suggest you do like I’ve already done and start following his new “31 Days To Building A Better Blog” series. I’ve registered for the email updates and the RSS updates to make sure I DO NOT MISS A POST. He’s already on day 4 so you’ll have to play a little catch up, but it’s worth it.
Finally if you like all of that I recommend you buy Darren’s book called “ProBlogger: Secrets To Blogging Your Way To A Six-Figure Income.” I picked mine up at Barnes & Noble one day while shopping for marketing books, but you can grab a copy at Amazon.com if you like. For only about $15 you can’t go wrong and it’s way better then some of the high priced “guru” stuff out there.
What If You’re Just Starting Out
If you are at ground zero and don’t even have a blog yet then there’s a couple things you can do. The way I showed my mom how to start a blog was to go to Youtube and watch some videos about setting up Blogger.
That’s in my opinion the easiest way to get started, since blogger is free and self hosted you literally can get started by the end of the night with $0 out of pocket.
The next best thing and still free (if you have hosting) is to setup your own wordpress blog. Which is what we’re using here at SiteFling.com. If you need help with that one of my new mastermind partners, Lynn Terry, has created a step by step checklist for setting up wordpress on her blog at ClickNewz.com
Then once you’ve got your blog setup, first watch “How To Get Started Blogging” by Michael Martine from Remarkablogger.com. It’s a 2.5 hour long video that he shares for free. He covers a lot of the important fundamentals of having a strong platform to work from, but you may want to skip the first 20 minutes.
In the beginning he’s kinda just talking with his viewers about whats about to happen and it can be a bit dry. However, once he really get’s into it at about 22 minutes in you’re really gunna get the farm!
Finally, once you are up and running make sure you follow Darren’s 31 day challenge. Life will never be the same for you!
Last But Certainly Not Least
I don’t think anyone is born with the ability to write and that scares away most bloggers. They think that they have to know how to write really well. Just take a look at me, I barely passed english class and I’ll bet there’s no less then 5 grammatical errors in this blog post or any of them for that matter.
It’s about sharing YOU, just communicating with people who you are, what you like, and the stances you take on specific topics. It’s not about eloquent (I looked it up!) writing.
But there are a few do’s and and do not’s which are best covered over at DoshDosh.com in their Blogging Tips section of blog posts.
If I had to put a price tag on what I think the information is valued at in all the resources above… I could straight faced tell you at least $500. But thanks to the spirit and business models of blogging it’s all available to you for free.
But just reading about this stuff won’t do anything for you. If you want to have a successful blog then all it takes is action and action builds confidence!
Go Bigger,
