Are you blogging and if not why not?
Hi there – this week’s blog post may be a little shorter than most as I’m pretty pushed for time tonight.
I’ve just been playing football (sorry soccer for those reading across the pond) and need to go out and pick my son up from work soon (he works part time at a local store stacking shelves at night).
Anyway I just wanted to tell you about a great e-book that is really helpful for anyone blogging, or anyone thinking about it.
It’s been written by a fellow Brit Rob Benwell and is called “Blogging To The Bank 2.0” and has been out a little while but I only got a copy last month and have devoured it several times, and applied the great and easy to follow advice on several of my blogs.
In the tradition of really good e-books it’s not packed with pages of “filler content” and gets down to the nitty gritty of running your own successful and profitable blog online.
Rob takes you right through from finding a niche, setting up a blog, getting great content, optimizing the blog for SEO (in really simple ways), getting traffic to the blog and most importantly PROFITING from your blog.
Now for me the optimisation section was worth the small investment for the e-book alone (oh and by the way keep on reading and I’ll share with you the sneaky way I got a copy at nearly 50% discount!)
The optimisation section showed me EXACTLY where I was going wrong!
And I’ve been quickly able to rectify that so that the search engines are much happier with my blog now.
For the beginner Rob lays out his “5 Blogging Commandments” that any wannabe blogger needs to know in their quest to become a successful blogger.
Overall it’s a well written guide that will appeal to those already blogging, and those who want to.
It’s around 60 pages long which is good news when it comes to keeping the cost down of printing it off (which is what I like to do with any good e-books that I get).
Oh yes and the sneaky trick…
Go to the site which I will give you below and then when you have read the sales letter and still want to buy a copy then click off the site.
A window will then pop up where an “operator” will offer you a copy at $20 cheaper!
Just click that link and you get it for $27 instead of $47.
Here’s the page to go to:

Hi John,
I recently purchased your ebook. I have found what I hope is a suitable niche to try your method out. I do have one request to make though: I wonder if you would be kind enough to clarify the exact nature of the 50/50 profit split you recommend for the ebook author. I mean if it is a legal arrangement is there a specific document you use, or if it is some kind of clickbank setup again please can you explain exactly how to do it. Whatever it is,more information would be very useful.
Thanks
Peter

My 50/50 was just done on trust as I knew the author and worked together with her. She provided the ebook and content - I did the marketing and accounts (then we split profits end of each month). If you don’t know them personally I would certainly look at a legal doc. of some kind.
