Over the last year I have learned quite a bit about blogging and I
now run a popular blog that generates a 4-figure income for me
every month and has done for many months. When I first started
blogging I didn't have a clue what I was doing! I managed to find
quite a lot of information out there on blogs such as ProBlogger
(http://www.problogger.net/) but there was a heck of a lot of out
of date, time-sensitive or irrelevant material to wade through as
well as the good stuff!

I've developed this course as a way of distilling everything I have
learned about blogging into easily-digestible weekly chunks that
you can instantly apply without having to wade through a ton of
fluff!

Now I have to admit that a couple of months after starting my own
blog, I joined the paid coaching program, Blog Mastermind by Yaro
Starak. My results really soared after I began to apply what I
learned in there. It's not cheap at $497 but if you have the time
to work through the lessons you'll get results much faster than
with my course. Read all about Yaro's Blog Mastermind on his sales

What Will Be Covered?
=====================

The way this course is designed is to walk you through the steps of
creating a blog from scratch. Obviously if you have a blog already
and you've already done the installation, setup and so on then some
of the content in the first few lessons will be familiar to you.

Unfortunately this is unavoidable as everybody who signs up for
this course will be at various stages with their blogs but at least
this way I can design it so that each lesson builds on what has
been taught before so that over time you can build up a really
solid blog which will hopefully bring in thousands of readers and
thousands of dollars!

Even if you have started a blog already, I'd still urge you to read
through the first few lessons as they come in as you might still
find some little nugget that you didn't know about! For example, I
use plugins on my blog now that simply weren't around a year ago.

What Can You Expect From Your Blog?
===================================

There will always be some people who blog simply for the sheer love
of it and they are not concerned with readership, traffic, revenue
and so on but I suspect that if you have discovered this course via
my own Internet Marketing blog
(http://www.caroline-middlebrook.com/blog/) that you are interested
in blogging for income, branding, exposure etc.

Income
------

First of all, blogs have the power to earn money and there is so
much more to earning an income through blogging than just slapping
up a few ads! I'll be talking about lots of different ways to
monetize your blog. 99% of the revenue that I have generated in the
last year (many thousands of dollars) has come either directly from
the blog or from a product that was launched via the blog.

Make no mistake - blogs can earn you a decent income! And don't
think you have to have a gigantic readership either. My Internet
marketing blog has a few thousand readers which is good but nowhere
near the numbers of some of the mega-bloggers out there yet it
still makes me a very good income.

Branding
--------

When you combine blogging with social media you develop the power
of branding. Whether you simply want to brand yourself as a person
or you're branding a product or company name, blogs built with
social media in mind can put you 'out there' like no other medium.
People begin to see you everywhere, recognise your face, they begin
searching for you in search engines. In short, blogs can make you
quite famous in your little corner of the Internet and if you
happen to be promoting your products or services, this can become
quite profitable.

Authority
---------

In order to build a successful blog you will need to learn how to
drive traffic to it and make it popular as a blog with no traffic
is not going to make you much money. However there is another side
effect of building a popular blog... as your blog begins to gain
authority in the eyes of Google it becomes a powerful asset in
itself and can then be used to launch other websites with a helping
hand. Once you've built your first big blog it becomes easier to
develop other Internet properties.
