What Are My Qualifications
To Write This Book

I have written almost 60 hard-bound and paperback books. My books have been translated into eight languages, won awards and one was offered on national television. My solid writing background assures you I know how to put together well-written materials.

But more importantly, I haven't worked a day job in over 15 years. And in the last eight years I've made my living exclusively from my Internet businesses. We've grossed well over $2,000,000.00. I had to learn the hard way how to make a living Online. But Blog Money Secrets is far more than one man's success story. I can help you achieve results similar, with  money spent on your part — and absolutely no risk for you.

Blogs Have Evolved Into A Very Distinct Publishing Approach Which Fits the World's New Lifestyle

The In 1932, when Aldous Huxley wrote his groundbreaking novel Brave New World, he had no idea how true his prophecies would become. And in many ways, the Internet has ushered in its own brave new world and this medium has opened a whole new universe of possibilities. Now, with the advent of blogging, greater unprecedented opportunities have surfaced for average people just like us.

A. The New Popular World of Blogs

1. Blog: Word Of The Year? Jorn Barger coined the term "weblog" back in 1997. Later this was shortened to "blog" and it has come to be used both as a noun and a verb. You can say, "I blog about the stock market", or "I have my own blog." But in 2004, Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary named "blog" the word of the year (yes, words are bestowed such honors). This recognition probably had a lot to do with the enormous impact blogs had on the United States presidential election that year.

2. Blog Popularity Is Exploding. Blogs have left the launch pad and gone into orbit. In the summer of 2005 the Blog Herald guesstimated there were 65 million blogs with readership up to 500 million. According to Technorati (the blog directory) they now track 112.8 million blogs (as of 2008, so this figure is a year old) on the Internet. But this does not include the 72.82 million Chinese blogs as counted by The China Internet Network Information Center.

Of course Technorati doesn't even come close to counting all of the non-Chinese speaking blogs on the Internet, as many bloggers have never registered with them. That there are probably well more than 200 million blogs is such a massive number, it's hard to get a hold of. Businesses have certainly taken notice and have often launched their own weblogs and are joining the brave new world of in the blogosphere.

You'll find blogs on numerous subjects on most web news sites like MSNBC.com and CNN.com. They have become a fashionable alternative for traditional media companies. Many hot news stories have hit the street through the publication first in blogs like the Drudge Report. News can travel fast within the blogging community because people are encouraged to leave comments and make trackbacks to other articles on other sites. People who read one or more blogs do so because they want to know what's happening within their areas of interest. Blog readers are on the cutting edge of what's new and hot. Which puts pressure on non blog readers to get up with the times and start reading.

3. Blogs Can Definitely Make Money. Whether you are new to building your own Internet home business or if you have been at it a while, you will soon find that learning to blog will help you take a great step forward in improving your online business. If you have an existing website which just isn't being found by the search engines, blogging may be the answer for raising your visibility.

Or maybe you would like to set up your own blog network to reap advertising revenue from many different companies. You might even want to run autopilot blogs which earn money for you without having to fiddle much with them. Whatever your situation, this Training Course is designed to tell you with everything you need to know so you can to use the magic of blogging to jump start and/or increase your online money making possibilities.

B. So What is a Blog?

1. A Blog Is A Journal. Blogs typically started out in the beginning as online diaries in which a blogger shared his opinions, discussed his personal interests, ranted on politics, or just gave details of the events of his life or his day. They've evolved in something way more compelling as they have grown in popularity. This powerful new form of opinionated communication has the business community buzzing. If you are a new Internet marketer, you simply must learn more about blogs if you want to keep up with the times.

2. Blogs are Updated Regularly. The main difference between a blog and a traditional website is the way (and how often) they are updated. Regular websites are often set up and then remain the same with few changes. But blog software allows the content to be updated easily and on a regular basis. Because website content is static, seldom changing, search engines visit them infrequently. This makes it more difficult for a site to get noticed and have its listing updated when new pages are added.

Search engines realize that blogs are constantly being updated with new and time sensitive information. So they are often visited and indexed each time there is a new post. This tends to make it much easier for a blog to get listed in search results, and of course, this means that much more traffic will be flowing their way. And of course traffic ultimately can mean more money in your pocket if you know what you're doing.

3. Blog Software Is Well Organized. Blogs usually come with well organized programs which allow both businesses and individuals to write short and long articles and organize them so they can be searched easily. Blogs are usually more interesting when they are aimed at a narrow niche subject. They provide instant access for people who are searching for a wide variety of information on specific and focused subject matter.

C. Blogs Liberate and Empower

1. Who Are Blog Readers? People who are reading blogs are often tech savvy (or want to be) and they are upwardly mobile. Many are taking control of the content they receive by subscribing to a number of blog feeds. As more people discover the medium, blogs will tend to fuel a desire to know more about the world beyond our own experience. Many young blog readers are abandoning television and newspapers for the news delivered to them instantly through RSS content feeds.

2. Blogs Offer Instant Gratification. Millions of people are blogging about something. Some use their blogs as a forum to rant or rave about some pet peeve. Blogs are usually organized backwards from books, with the most recent entries on top. When a reader finishes an article he must then work his way back through previous posts and into the archives to discover how the writer got to his current position within the narrative. Because each new entry is published online immediately, and read worldwide within seconds, they offer instant gratification on the subjects people are clamoring to read and learn about.

3. Blogs Can Be Very Intimate. Blogs present opinionated commentary on news and events. They bring us diverse inside information on everything from the inner workings of stock trades, to the views of a hooker analyzing her customers, or the ramblings of a young rebel fighting with his own demons. The writer can tell all, and still hide his identity if he wishes. Because of this, blogs can become extremely intimate.

This openness is alluring for many readers. To peak through a window, to open a dark closet door, or just to hear an expert explain his take on a new product — this form of intimate information delivery can be compelling, because it bypasses the middle man and all his filters. Readers get addicted if they appreciate a writer's candid message or writing style, personal confessions or honesty. In a world seeking deeper connections, the intimacy that blogs employ can be very refreshing. It's easy to get hooked by subscribing to a blog's RSS feed like a junkie in search of his next high.

4. Blog Writers Become "Celebrities" (Of Sorts). After reading her wedding posts for months, one of our brides treated my business partner like she was a celebrity when they finally met in person.

But if reading blogs is addictive, how much more is it to writing them? Every blog author is a star writing to his or her own "public", however small that may be. When a writer realizes that he is literally reaching people all over the world, and they start to give him feedback — both good and bad — his immense outreach can fuel the desire to build a very real publishing empire of his own.

Each writer really has the potential of becoming the next John Steinbeck of our brave new Internet age. . . or  the next Matthew Drudge . . . or the next online millionaire.

And what is so incredible — especially for a book author like me to realize — you don't have to get anyone's permission to publish your work. You can type away and seconds later tell the world exactly what's on your mind. If this isn't "publishing power", nothing is.

Depresion 2.0
Is Here!
Recently I have become a world traveler. Here I am at a resort in the Philippines with my wife Nikki.

I can tell you first hand, this recession is impacting people around the world. We are now facing the greatest recession since the Great Depression of the 1930's. I call it Depression 2.0.

 Count on the fact that conditions will get much worse. Warren Buffett, probably the world's richest man and one of the smartest business minds of our generation, recently predicted that things will  continue to get worse until the end of 2010! But he is also optimistic about the ability of the USA and the world to bounce back in the future.

If you have lost your job (or are about to), you should understand that the real difference between today and the 1930's will be our ability to communicate with other people and sell products and information throughout the world. If you want to insulate yourself against the worsening financial conditions that will continue to plague the entire planet for some time to come, then learn how to be successful on the Internet! This FREE website will be a great help in the coming months.

Throwing Enough Mud On the Wall...
One of the big secrets that you should understand, is that you will probably not make much money if you have just one blog. The real power in building AdSense and affiliate income is having a lot of websites and blogs. This dramatically increases your ability to get traffic and also to get "clicks."
