The Famous Bloggers website have kicked off the year with a free contest and we (Joel and I) are proud to be one of the sponsors of the prizes on offer.
Over the New Year I’ve been so busy with the Income Blogging Guide Membership Course launch I’ve not written any ‘reflecting’ or ‘looking forward’ type blog posts.
You know the sort of ones where you talk about your mistakes and success in 2009 and what you hope to achieve in 2010.
I will get around to writing such blog posts because 2009 was a life changing year for me and I am hoping for a great 2010.
As an extra bonus, when you join the Income Blogging Guide Course, we will install a WordPress Premium Theme on your blog for free.
Premium themes make the managing of your blog much, much easier. They are more flexible. They make changes to your blog much easier. They save you time and they improve the Search Engine Optimization of your blog.
And that’s why so many people buy them and rave about them.
Since we launched the Income Blogging Guide Course, Joel and I have received quite a few questions. So I’ve created a video answering them. We’ve had a lot of snow in the UK this week – so check out the snowman!
Seriously, I answer all the common questions and if you have any more, just let me know. Simply click on the button in the middle of the video screen to start. It takes a few seconds to load.
Firstly what is the meaning of ‘blow your own trumpet’?
Answer: To act in a boastful, self-promoting manner.
Don’t you think “blowing your own trumpet” and boasting about yourself, is a bit tricky?
Do you find it hard to do?
If you do, you are not alone.
The vast majority of us do.
But one of the most crucial skills in today’s world is to be able to sell yourself. If you are trying to sell a service or to get new business you will need to sell yourself.
Back in December Joel and I asked for some help in preparation for our Income Blogging Guide Course.
The course is focussed on helping individuals and small businesses make a full time income via blogging while working part-time and get some freedom back into their lives.
This is exactly the position both Joel and I are in now, and the course is a total brain dump of our years of making a living on-line.
HOWEVER, we needed some help. We wanted to be sure we had covered everything that individuals expected from such a course.
If you’ve been marketing for long and hard enough, you are probably aware of the fact that money is in the list.
But what I learned from a devastating experience is that money is in a responsive list. A list that actually opens and reads your emails. A list that responds to your calls to action.
Real money is made of a list that is receptive of your marketing. If you mail 2000 people and only 100 of them respond, that’s only 5%. 95% of your potential revenue is wasted.
On 6th January 2010, Joel Williams (www.BlogTechGuy.com fame) and I will be launching our brand new Income Blogging Guide Course and to celebrate we are holding a free contest.
I added my first blog post on this site on 10 February 2009. I now have 205 blog posts and that tells me that I blogged on average 4.5 times every week.
These are my top ten most visited posts this year:
