My Goal: Create Authority Blog in 30 days

Day 2 of the 30-day blogging challenge:

I’m participating in Sara Arrow’ 30-Day Blogging Challenge.  I decided to turn this 3o-day challenge into 100% free training on how to launch an authority blog from start to scratch.

You’re about to discover a step-by-step process

for publishing your own blog and making money from it!

It doesn’t matter if you’re not very technical. It doesn’t even matter if you’re new to the internet.

That’s because in the next 30 days you’ll discover:

  • How to choose a domain name and web hosting.
  • How to get your first blog up and running fast.
  • How to monetize your blog.
  • What to write about to keep your readers hanging on your every blog post.
  • How to drive targeted traffic to it and turn your blog into a popular niche hang out.
  • And much more!

You’re going to learn how to make money with your blog primarily by promoting affiliate offers, your own product or services.

To that end, you’ll complete these steps:

Step 1: Choose a hungry niche. Day job (overlap skills with your internet business if possible)

Step 2:  Select a profitable, in-demand product to sell to this niche. (Clickbank, Amazon, your service's and products etc..)

Step 3:  Set up a blog and start creating content that caters to the niche. (establish authority)

Step 4: Promote services, products or affiliate offers on your blog. (solutions to real problems, information products)

Step 5: Drive targeted, money-in-hand prospects to your blog. (build your list & passive income)

Blogs have become an essential part of making money online for one simple reason.

They work!

No matter what you’re selling or what your business model is, a blog can help you achieve more because it helps establish you as an expert.

Setting up a blog is only part of the battle.  You still have to :

  • Define your goals
  • Pick your money/passion niche
  • Optimize your blog
  • Do keyword research
  • Create content
  • Generate traffic
  • Build your opt-in list
  • Monetize your blog

By the time you finish this training, you’ll know exactly how to start and run your own profitable blog!

Change Your Mindset!

Too often people put a stop to the process as they fear that they’re not an expert. Or fear that they’re not the authority to write about a specific topic.

Heck, with proper research you don’t need to be the expert.

To establish authority you don’t have to be the most knowledgeable but you do need to be the most helpful.

This can be done by providing your audience the information they’re looking for.

Basically, you don’t need to be an expert in your niche to start an authority blog. That will come with time as you build your blog.

You simply need to know how to find a niche, solve a problem, and what actions are necessary to solve it.

But before we get into that, I want to show you that there are plenty of other ways to benefit and profit (directly and indirectly) from your blog.

Read on…

People use to publish books to showcase their expertise, now most anyone can publish a blog. And once that blog becomes popular, the blogger’s status is further elevated in the niche.

And that’s NOT all.

The more good content you post, the more your readers start to trust you… and that indirectly leads to more sales.

Plus if you allow your readers to interact with you (by allowing comments), that further strengthens your bond with them. End result? A more profitable blog.

Some people use blogs to raise their status in a niche. And some people use this elevated status as a springboard to more opportunities, such as free publicity and book deals.

Example: The big book publishers like to see when one of their newly signed authors has a platform. By platform, I mean a waiting audience. A blog is one such platform. If you build a popular blog and then go after a book deal, you can bet the publishers will take note.

If you invest your time and effort into an authority blog you can build a quality online business that will make you money every single month.

I invite you to ask questions below or via email using my contact form. I’m here to help!  So don’t jump ahead – just stick with the lesson for that day.

The next lesson will be about why people fail online and how you can avoid that and be successful.

Just Launch Your Business or Blog

Quote of the Day: “A year from now, you’ll wish you had started today.” — Karen Lamb

Short Term Goal: Create Authority Blog in 30 days.

Profit Tip: Write down Three or Four Daily Tasks and DO them.

This is my profit journal where I will share my secrets for success with you -- I'll give you my opinions, innovative tips, tricks, techniques, templates, profit plans and maybe even a joke or two.

The two fastest ways I found to bring in revenue and start a business?

  1. Service (Selling services to people who needed them)
  2. Consulting/Coaching (Guiding people to solving problems I knew how to fix)

Both are a great way for a beginner to start… You don’t need a LIST, a PRODUCT, a BRAND, or a FOLLOWING.

You simply need to know how to find a niche, solve a problem, and what actions are necessary to solve it.

It can be in your passion, in your hobby, in learning more about how you’ve overcome some obstacle in your life (this is more than tangible skill – it can also be mindset related, health related, support related, or even experience related).

Back in 2005, My former business partner Matt Levenhagen  would say "Just Launch It".

Your business is never going to be perfect in your eyes. There will always be more cosmetic things to fix, more features to add, more you could have done to help it succeed.

But because these things will always exist, if you focus on getting them out of the way first, you could delay launching for months—even years! You have to pick a point which to put those things out of your mind (even if just for a second) and  just launch your business or blog out in the world.

Don’t miss out on money or customers because of something small that only you will notice. Get the basic version of your business out there, and then you can tweak to your heart’s content.

I invite you to ask questions or leave comments.  I’m here to help!

Profit Tip :  I use a company/site call Ebates.  As a newbie, it would have helped me so much in spending less on life's stuff so that I could have money to spend on things like domains, hosting, tools, outsourcing, etc.

It works on SO many online shopping areas, so whenever I buy a domain from GoDaddy, money comes back to me. Ordering from Walmart.com or Amazon? Yep - money back from Ebates.  Free to sign up here.

I installed a little Chrome plugin so no matter where I shop online if Ebates is involved, it alerts me.  

You might as well be doing this while you're online anyway. You'll get payments for everything you're already doing anyway, while you're doing it.  Click Here To Save Money

When you get invited in, you also get a free $10 gift card. I already got mine.  Here's my invite link so you can get yours too: Invite to Join Ebates.
