Whenever I keep getting asked the same question by members I know it is time for a reminder. This reminder is all about how to make money blogging with the Blog Success training and for me the key is all about focus and mindset.
There are times when new Blog Success members join and don't always watch the getting started videos and when they are missed out you are not aware of vital information that can save you time. Where content is, how it works, what is available to you. If you have been a member for more than a month and you have no idea what Utility Poster is I want to encourage you to go watch the introduction videos!
One of the key questions I was asked at least three times last week and once this week (hence the blog post!) is this
"Is the Blog Success training outlined in a step by step manner?"
And the answer is - yes it is.
The classroom is set out for you to go through one step at a time and the videos at the beginning show you where everything is and how to go through it.
Going Through The Blog Success Classroom
The Blog Success classroom has been organized so that each section builds on the following one.
You start with mindset which stresses the importance of research. Next is research and you move on to keyword research which gets you thinking about content. You then move on to content development and start writing which then gets you to focus on putting your blog up.
You put your blog up, add your content and then start looking at traffic generation while continuing to blog.
Only the monetization section is out on its own because people think about that at different stages of their blogging journey. The best time to consider how you will make money blogging is at the research stage but some people prefer to get their blog up and start writing blog posts for a while before they focus on how to make money with their blog.
This is how I recommend you go through the training
Focus on one key area (e.g. research) and stick to it until you are complete. There is a quiz at the end to test how much you know. If you get stuck on any of the material while you are going through research go into the forum and ask until all your questions are answered then move on to content development.
Do the same thing in this area. Read, learn, then take action by doing (writing your content) - any questions go into the forum and get them answered. Take the quiz to make sure you understand everything then move on to getting your blog up.
And you keep moving forward in this way through to traffic. Traffic and regular blog content are the two main things you will focus on once your blog is up.
* At this point you can look at Utility Poster to help you create content
* The 60 day plan to help you generate traffic plus the webinar replays too
You can take the complete training in this order and as you go through everything you need to know is covered and if you find something that isn't or something you don't understand you ask in the forum.
My blog is already up what should I do?
If you have a blog that has been up for a while but it is not making you money I recommend you start with research (usually that is a key element missing), write content that will help you get found and follow the traffic generation tips focusing on Backtrack SEO as well as the other parts of traffic generation
Use the forum as a valuable source of help. You will find there are people who were where you are now and can help you by sharing what they did to get out of it so use the forum for questions
Also use the forum for discussions. Start discussions about topics relevant to blogging or to your niche and see if any other members want to join in.
I am here for the 10 30 method what should I do?
If you are attracted to 10 30 because it is quick and you want to use the training provided then just follow it. Follow the 10 30 training, use the 12 day traffic generation training and make full use of Utility Poster to help you write blog posts.
Whenever you get stuck ask in the forum and resist the temptation to juggle 10 blogs at once unless you know you can handle it. Most people end up feeling overwhelmed. The recommended way is to start one, get it up and running and making you money then start another.
With all this training remember you have an extra valuable resource now - the site installer that will allow you to set up and run 10 blogs. You get access to a control panel (cpanel) and you can easily install Wordpress from there.
You will learn everything you need to help you make money blogging. If you are a member who is not making money take a look to see which parts you left out, what did you skip over in your rush to get started. Are you blogging on a regular basis and writing in a way that will bring attention to your blog as outlined in the training and webinar replays? Can you tell me exactly who your target market is and what the most profitable keyword phrases in your niche are - if you can't you may need to review the training.
I hope this has gone some way towards keeping you on focus and helping you through any feelings of overwhelm that you might have had. If the material seems too much take a break, stop and focus on one thing only.
