Building a Profitable Blog — Live

by Jeff Christman

I kind of fell into blogging several years ago. although I did not realize that it was called blogging back then. I had a small business with a website and I decided to utilize the website to keep my customers informed rather than the old paper newsletter that I used to send out.

For the past year now I have wanted to get serious about blogging and truly make a career out of it. But as most people, I thought I knew enough to make a go at it and make a little money.

Well, I must say that the blogging world has changed quite a bit. It seems everyone is blogging and making 6 figures with their blog. At least thats what it seems with all the “Make Money Blogging” websites out there.

Being realistic, I doubt that all those people are making that much money.However, I do believe that one can still make money blogging, if done well and professionally. That means I will need to learn from the most successful bloggers out there and emulate them.

Are there course for this kind of thing? Fortunately there are and I have narrowed the literally hundreds of courses to just three which I feel or the best produced and most professional

So, in no particular order, I have the following courses to choose from by the end of the month.

1. BlogMasterMind — This is geared towards the new blogger and takes you step by step to developing a blog that will generate income.

2. Internet Entrepreneurs Club- This is targeted toward internet marketing in general, This course seems more on the selling and marketing side of things. Not only blogs, but websites in general. This course also discusses how to develop products, build e-mail lists, and other things that go into a successful website marketing campaign.

3. Six Figure Blogging - This is more of a home study course but also takes the beginner step by step and develops a professional blog.

Soon, I will be making a decision on which one to start.

I will be posting my progress and I go through the course and will see along with me, how a blog or website is developed from the ground up.

I will update when the decision is made next week.

    Interesting choices! It would be helpful to know what each program costs.
