That is a great post, I ended up going to the problogger site yesterday after reading your thread and got lost in information overload.

Thanks!

Point #12 is different from Point #5 ?

veridicus · 03-02-2006, 02:07 PM

#5 refers to posting in blog comments and forums. Simple communications.

#12 refers to projects like blog networks and other joint ventures. Bigger time consuming projects that you need to put a lot of thought into.

Great post there on ProBlogger

Darren Rowse (Problogger) has TONS of great information! I can get lost over there following link after link

Curious - has anyone ordered the Six Figure Blogging course? I'm a big fan of Darren & Andy Wibbel's blogs, and have been looking into buying this one. I'd love to hear what other people thought - some unbiased opinions.

**John Scott** · 04-09-2006, 06:21 PM

I have been curious about that but have not got around to ordering it yet.

I have a feeling that we may know much of what they discuss, being 'experienced bloggers' already - but there has to be some great thought-provoking tidbits in there to stir creativity too, I imagine.

I'd love to review the product regardless, as it just may be a great recommendation to add to my website. I've decided to wait until I return from PubCon, though - too much going on between now and then for me to take the time to review it thoroughly.

I'm a blogger newbie! I just started a couple months ago

I think I'll probably get it sooner or later, when I have time to read.

You're a newbie??

No way! I never would have guessed that!

You have a very pro looking blog, and a great writing style. Nice!

I think much of what they discuss is about "niche blogging", which I've taken quite an interest in lately. I have 3 new blogs I'm about to roll out in various niches (non-IM), so I thought the course might be really interesting & inspiring.

edited to add: Plus I'm a total book geek, and read info-products like most women read Cosmo LOL.

I've been running v7n long enough - I should have started blogging sooner. My design is by Juggopop. He designs all our sites.

Ha! You'll never believe it - what a coincidence - but I talked to Jason the other day, "got converted" and just received his course in the mail today!

It's at www.MakeMoneyBlogging.com and like I said, I just got mine today. It ships QUICK. There are 5 CDs, a couple of big binders, a couple of spirals, etc. It's a monster of a course!

I've already started listening in and flipping through, and am having a great time with it

I'll try to get some pics & more details posted on my blog soon...

edited to add: P.S. On just the audio section alone, there are sections on: Earning revenue, advertising, affiliate income, info-products, search engines, credibility, finding a niche, creating interest, creating value, driving traffic (and more!)

DotZero · 05-28-2006, 06:30 AM

Can anyone recommend any other blogging courses out there?

I have just started blogging but don't really know where to start looking. I have my personal blog which I post things that interest me, but I want to start up another couple to get some adsense revenue. Any info is appreciated

Kalina · 05-28-2006, 01:10 PM

They actually make courses about blogging? I'd think that's like making courses about why the sky is blue.

You could always do a search.

DarrenC · 05-28-2006, 02:29 PM

Rather than wasting money on a course (if one exists) why don't you ask your questions in here - theres plenty of experienced bloggers in the forum, so Im sure someone will be able to answer your question.
