Becoming a Blogger, Review on Becomeablogger.com

I recently listened in to a web interview conducted by Adam Short and Allen Sultanic on Yaro Starak and Gideon Shalwick. It was a great 1+ hour, even for a seasoned blogger, as there are nuggets of infos that I haven’t even heard or seen before. What makes the interview more interesting is that Yaro and Gideon showed a couple of blogs done by their close friends and students, who are currently making steady income just blogging on what they are passionate about.
As some people already know, or just found out, Yaro makes 6-7 figures just on blogging and has been on the stage of some big IM seminars too. So what works with him with regards to blogging, we need to know.
Having said that, one of the example blogs that caught my eye was Highonhealth.com – a niche on natural acne cure, also shown purposely for the fact that if you are not so into writing posts, you could use a web cam to post it on your blog. And don’t forget YouTube too and Twitter (for garnering free traffic, that is). The owner of this blog has gained quite a following. How do I know? My Compete traffic stats shows 16,504 people count for the month of May 2009. A year ago, the count was hovering about 2-3K visitors. Ta-dah..!
In terms of monetizing the blog, Yaro/Gideon told us the owner gets the moolah from having advertisers on those cute 125 x 125 Sponsor ad/banners. Get this – the lady also sells her own ebook on one of the ad tiles and some facial things under the ’shop’ link. Overall, I think she’s done great, having autoresponder on the top (very essential, people, so pay attention) with a red box surrounding the “Start the Mini-Course right now” button, just like what Armand Morin had ordered.
The other blogs mentioned were Caradvice.com.au and Freemagiclive.com – Awesome! If I miss out mention on others, a thousand apologies..
Anyways, if you are a newbie/novice/amateur, go over to Becomeablogger.com. Yaro and Gideon had setup 10 free videos for you. And again, no, I’m not an affiliate, just wanting to spread the good things around. And don’t forget to claim your FREE copy of “The Roadmap to Become a Blogger” on that page. You’ll never know this could be a start of good things to come.
