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.

If you are not already blogging, you should be. Blogging is not a fad that will go away any time soon. So if you don't get in early, chances are you'll miss a lot of the success you could have had by not getting in sooner. Here are 17 reasons why I think it is imperative that you start blogging now.

1. Blogging Is Easy To Learn. Setting up a blog is an ideal introduction to getting on the Internet for someone who knows next to nothing about the Web. It is a great Internet "starter business". You can use a blog to instantly; you can start your online business quickly and simply without having to hire a professional or learn any complicated pieces of software.

2. Blogging Is An Inexpensive Way To Start An Internet Business Career. Even if you become a full-time blogging professional, your online overhead will be very low. Many businesses require a great outlay of up front cash when you start. With blogging, your only major costs will be your hosting account and your time. If you're reading this, I'll assume you already have your own computer. You probably already have Internet access. So you will only have to pay only a little for your hosting service (and possibly for a few domain names). And on that hosting account (if you choose the right company) you can place many blogs.

3. Blogging Is Flexible And Adaptable To Your Lifestyle And Your Ability. Blogs are easy to transform into whatever you want them to be. They are so much easier to work with than most website software programs. You are not limited with a blog. The software can allow you to put hundreds of web posts online using computers anywhere in the world.

4. Blogging Software Makes A Better, Easier Website Than Website Software. This is an amazing revelation even for many experienced marketers. The learning curve is much smaller and the end results are better (in most cases) for your Internet business if you start a blog instead of a normal website. (Learning website creation software like Dreamweaver can be a pain; picking up the skills to use the WordPress blogging program is much easier by comparison). Many websites owners have chosen to create new sites with blog software, because visitors really can't tell the difference about how it was created.

5. Blogging Software Is A Great Way To Organize Your Website Content. With blogging software, you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Because the software is a content management system, you only need to do a little planning about how you'll organize your posts into categories, how you will customize the look and feel of your site, and how you'll tag your articles. Once you do these minimal things, you are ready to begin posting on your blog.

6. Blogging Will Probably Grow Your Business Better. If you keep adding new posts to your blog, it will be far better than a static website that sees few new pages. Dynamic is always better than static, stale content. As you keep adding content, search engines will keep coming, and people will keep reading. This, in turn, will encourage you and help take your business to the next level.

7. Blogging Can Increase Your Internet Traffic Inexpensively. I started blogging after having spent thousands with SEO (which stands for search engine optimization) firms. Those companies wasted my money and did not promote my websites very well. So I turned to blogging out of desperation. That move definitely improved the visibility of my websites. Almost overnight I was able to get pages up on Google and get them ranked high. I was spending less time and less money to get better results with the search engines.

Recently I was at an Internet Marketing Seminar where one of the speakers — a young guy in his twenties who is now a multimillionaire — admitted his surprise when he discovered one of his greatest sources for new customers is his personalized blog. This fact surprised him; but it really shouldn't have.

8. Blogging Will Help You Build Relationships With New Customers. Relationships are at the heart of so many successful businesses. We built our Hawaii wedding business on the philosophy that people do business with people that they like — people who treat them right. We found that our blogs were the perfect way to build relationships with our wedding couples. People can get to know you so much better by reading your thoughts "from your heart."

9. Blogging Will Help You Create A Deeper Honesty With Your Audience. Bloggers talk about everything. The early blogs were built upon an authentic voice of honesty, authority and personal revelation. So most blog readers just naturally expect writer's to have those qualities. Readers are conditioned to expect a personal voice on blogs even if that voice represents a business.

With blogs, you are engaging your readers, encouraging them to respond and give you feedback. An open and honest blog which is written by an authoritative voice allows you to create legitimate conversations with people all over the world. If you want to know something from your readers, just ask them. If your product isn't selling, you can ask the readers on your blog to tell you why. Honesty always makes an impression with your customers and it will build your business.

10. Blogging Will Build Your Reputation And Your Brand Name. If a company becomes successful, people will often remember its name from previous searches (but maybe not its exact address) and they'll search for your company within the search engines. This is why it is important to build an identity or trade name.

Our wedding company name is Maui Me, Inc. We obtained a United States trademark on the words "Maui Me." We are the only wedding service in Hawaii who can legally say, "Will you Maui me?" We decided to name our wedding blog "Will You Maui Me?" in order to take advantage of the trademark we own.

11. Blogging Gives Off-line Businesses A Chance To Expand Their World. In the impersonal world in which we live, people are often longing to find companies who will treat them as real people. Trust me. They will go out of their way to work with companies or individuals who treat them like more than a name or number.

I read of a dentist who realized his business would be better off if it could reach out beyond his local area. His patients came from an area only 10 kilometers around him. By developing a warm, strong blog, he has been able to pull patients in from a much greater distance — up to 30 kilometers away. People are willing to drive further to have a dentist who is personable with his patients.

I can't think of any other medium that is better at creating a personal touch than blogging, especially when you consider how easy and inexpensive it is. Nothing is better on the Internet for performing this job quickly and easily.

12. When You Blog You Are Jumping On A Fast Train To Better Search Engine Results. After I first started blogging for my wedding business, I had a conversation with the caterer we use. He was bragging to me about how his SEO expert had gotten him into the top ten on Google for his favorite keywords. That afternoon, I split off some of the content (which talked about catering) and used it to create a new web page entitled. I then went to my blog and wrote an article about my caterer and linked that post to this new page.

Two days later when I checked my rankings on Google for this term, I discovered that my new web page AND my blog post about it were right behind my caterer's web page for Google's results! There was no doubt that blogging had caused the new page to get indexed so quickly and jump past other sites in the rankings.

Blogs change so fast that search engines often index their new posts quickly. In contrast, just try submitting a new page for your website directly to Google and watch how long it takes to show up.

13. Blogging Creates Loyalty With Your Clientele. If people are following your blog, they will make a connection with you. And that connection means they will listen to what you have to say. Often, they will buy products which you recommend as being superior and worth the investment.

14. Blogging Lends Itself Very Well To Promoting Niche Subjects. This is another reason blogs do so well commercially. A small niche blog that focuses upon a narrow topic of interest and which provides an expertise on that subject will do well in those markets. Because people want their information fed to them in a more personalized way, blogs are the perfect way to serve up niche information. A blog is usually not just some website spitting out content, it is actually a real person communicating his views, expertise and information. And that is a powerful combination.

15. Blogging Can Give You Status. A blogger is like a columnist in a national newspaper. His articles will get read and given to others and this gives the author a great sense of personal status in the world community. While this may or may not be enough motivation for you to blog, it is certainly one of the perks that come with blogging.

16. Blogging Can Help You Help Others. If it is done right, blogging can give you the power to help your customers and new found friends all over the world by solving some of their problems. I have found that people who are givers, and who get excited about giving back to the world, receive so much more in return (than money), that they just end up being happier people than those who simply blog for money. So within the bigger picture, I suggest that you concentrate on helping others through your blogs.

17. You Can Make A Lot Of Money Blogging. This is really the most important point for most people. I'm assuming this is probably one of the main reasons you're reading this training course article right now. If you do it right, you can make a lot of money. And that's what I will show you how to do.

Yes, You Can Do This

Hopefully this article will help you reach the point of commitment where you decide to seriously consider blogging. If you are emotionally committed to actually creating your own blogging business, that is certainly the beginning.

The material on this website as you scope out the blog money world so that you will get a better focus on the type and kind of blogs you will want to create. There are certainly a lot of different approaches you can take.

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."
