Can You Really Make Money From Blogging
I finished listening to a brilliant podcast interview from Yaro Starak with seven figure Australian blogger, Alborz Fallah. You can gather a lot of great tips from how a regular blogger turned a hobby into a hugely successful million dollar business. Alborz went from writing about his passion for luxury cars as a hobby to employing regular content writers and attracting high profile investors to make him a extremely generous seven figure annual income through his Car Advice blog ( I love the slick template design).
Yaro Starak is renowned for his own blogs, namely Entrepreneurs Journey and his Blog Mastermind course. Now Yaro doesn’t presume that everyone who takes the course will become wildly successful overnight, or be in the same earning league as himself or Alborz Fallah. However the valuable content and education you will gain makes this course a superb bargain.
Who Is This Blog Mastermind Course Suited For?
Serious bloggers who want to take their hobby to the next level so that they can develop and grow their own blog into a revenue earner. Maybe you have a blog already and are not seeing the results you had hoped for. Or you may need to establish your blog as an authority in your niche and want to help kick start your business to success.
Visit Yaro Starak’s blog to listen to a recording of the interview. You also have the option to download the MP3 file, which is what I did to listen to at my convenience. Oh yes, you should definitely take a sneak peak at how Yaro makes money down at the Entrepreneurs Journey blog in his revealing two part video presentation.

7 Ways To Promote New Content On Your Website
7 Ways To Promote New Content On Your Website
by Steve M Nash
Welcome to the never-ending world of website promotion.
Never ending? Well, not only must you promote your site when you first create it, but then you must find ways to continue to promote it.
And you must find ways to promote the site’s new content too.
This article covers seven ways you can promote this new site content. It assumes that you understand the basics of website promotion.
It also assumes that you have already done the following to promote your new content:
* Linked to the new content from your home page, site map, newsletter confirmation page, newsletter welcome message etc.
* Created (and used) a new email signature file
* Written a press release.
You have? Okay, let’s begin.
1) Tell Your E-Mail Subscribers
Tell the subscribers (or customers) on your mailing list about your new site content. This is an easy first step to take to promote a site redesign (or to promote new pages on your site).
Your mailing list is your best opportunity to really go into detail about the new content, especially if this new content benefits your subscribers. (It should, by the way.) If you have built a good relationship with your subscribers they might even tell you how good (or bad) the new content is. Always respond positively to this feedback.
2) Tell Your Friends, Family… Anyone
Tell friends, family and others who are in your address book. Make your email personal, and friendly, and just talk about how the new site content now benefits or involves them.
3) Tell The Newsgroups/Forums
Tell the newsgroups and online forums about your new content.
This strategy works best if you are a regular contributor to the forum or newsgroup, and if you refer to the content as part of the forum post (rather than just in the signature file). However, as long as you demonstrate your expertise with your forum contributions, and the new content is relevant, you should get visitors curious to find out more.
Again, if you focus on benefits you have a much better chance of people visiting your site.
4) Tell The Social Networks
The major search engines will find your new content as long as you link to it via your site map, and you link to this site map from your home page. Do that, then ignore the search engines.
Instead, focus on building buzz at the so-called social networking sites like digg.com, del.icio.us and Myspace.
You can encourage social bookmarking by adding appropriate bookmarking links on your site. (You’ll find such ‘add to del.icio.us’ buttons etc. on various blogs or websites or by visiting http://www.AddThis.com .)
However, if your content is outrageous or funny or particularly informative then, chances are, your new content will find its way onto these high-traffic websites anyway. It doesn’t harm to encourage this process, though.
5) Find Other Promotion Sources
Social networking sites are not the only way to promote your site.
For example, webmaster resource sites, freebie sites, and even Britney Spears and Harry Potter fanclub sites may all quite like to know about your new site content, if relevant. Whatever your site is about, there’s a site resource dedicated to it.
Use your imagination, and do a search on Google.
6) Write An Article
Writing articles is a proven method of promoting new content. And there are so many sites willing to accept well-written articles.
You don’t think you know how to write an article? Just write about what you know or do. It isn’t that difficult, and writing articles can generate lots of website traffic. To learn more, either do a search for “how to write an article” at Google or at EzineArticles.com .
7) Don’t Forget Pay-Per-Click Search Engines
Using pay-per-click (PPC) search engines is an ideal way to promote new site content.
You can either add more keywords to a current PPC campaign, driving visitors to your new pages, or you can start a new PPC campaign.
Either way, you should have traffic visiting your new content in a matter of days (or immediately, if you use Google AdWords).
These are the most popular pay-per-click search engines:
- Google Adwords
- Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture)
- MSN Adcenter

That’s it, seven ways to promote new content on your website.
As I say, website promotion is never-ending; there are always more ways of promoting your site’s new content. Just make sure you do something to get people to visit your new web pages, eh!

Getting Into MySpace
Hey today’s the day when all of the pranksters come out to play so be on your guard. HAPPY APRIL FOOL’s DAY!
I just wanted to let you know that I gave gone against all of my principles and set up
a MySpace account. Like many I view MySpace and similar sites as a place where people just mess around and get in trouble at work! However after several colleagues have been boastingabout how they are making money from their collection of MySpace accounts I had to see for myself what the fuss is all about!
So far I am looking for REAL friends, people in my industry, people I know online and
of course my visitors and subscribers.
You’ll certainly recognize a few Internet and Affiliate marketers amongst my MySpace friends. So before I add a permanent link to my sidebar I wanted to cordially invite to you to addme to your MySpace friends and of course send me a “Friend Request” to be a part of my crowd too.
I will probably add a personal video or slideshow later when I find some good photos of me, friends and family so hang tight until then. For now you’ll just have to get accustomed to “The Better Half Of Me”, this slogan will make more sense once you visit my page at MySpace. One very positive aspect I have found with having and sharing my MySpace account is that I get to see some of my long term subscribers who have added themselves as friends. Normally I don’t bother to add an image of myself online but I guess people really do like to see you in photo or video. 
Do you think we are getting more voyeuristic and narcistic with Web 2.0 sites online?
Well I don’t like looking at myself too often unless I’m brushing my teeth. 
What do you think?
I remember Mark Wielgus talking about how more bloggers should do video to reveal themselves to their readers or at least make their own videos for content and to boost their SEO. Mark’s personal view is that text only blogs can become dull and he prefers to watch video blogs or listen to podcasts, especially if he has been a long term subscriber.
I personally enjoy reading articles with the occasional video here and there but long
audios I hate unless it’s a Teleseminar. Anyone who rambles on for a length of time is
mind numbing for me so I’m not into podcasts, even though they are extremely popular and good from a marketing perspective.
Even popular bloggers do not have a photo of themselves on their blogs in the “About Us” section like DoshDosh but for me it’s the content that counts. Besides maybe some people look so bad it would be a crime to reveal themselves. I do like caricatures of people and have seen everything from Homer Simpson to Jessica Alba on avatars.
What are your thoughts on photos, videos and audio over text based blogging?

Therefore the speculation and nail biting is finally over. Now it will be interesting to see what Google have in store for the affiliate management service. Are Google now a monopoly having a more than sizeable chunk of the online advertising market or is this just good business?
