Did you know that blogging is now really big.

This is what Technorati.com had to say about blogging:

-The Blogosphere is now 70 million weblogs(blog) worldwide
- About 120,000 new weblogs are created each day
- 1.5 million posts per day
- 1.4 new blogs are created every second
- 17 post are made every second
- It took 320 days only to grow from 35 to 75 million blogs.

That means that you have to be involved - but how is the real question.

Bloggers will discuss methods, software, platforms, niches and on and on.

A simple and effective way is to use wordpress as the platform and then learn how to use it properly in your environment.

If you are in Malaysia or are able and willing to get there - And if you are looking for a good step by step workshop on how to maximise wordpress then take a careful look at the Adsense Blogging Seminar

You’ll be shown how to :

• Set up your blog
• Find the appropriate theme for your blog so that it looks great
• How to find and use the plug-ins to make managing your wordpress blog simple
• How to draw traffic to your blog
• How to post content including video and music to your blog
• Where to get revenue generating options for your blog

The past students speak highly of the seminar content and the program is surprisingly well priced.

Get on over to the Adsense Blogging Seminar and check it out for yourself.

I know this is a Malaysian event but for many of you that’s not too far from home and also a really cool place to take a working vacation.

It’s important to remember that this is a $37 purchase - although I see in a mail I just got that the publishers are going to increase the price on Monday……..

First of all - if $37 is all you have as a budget don’t spend it here.

This is not a system that you can follow and generate cash from immediately. But if Direct marketing is an interest of yours and you are looking to expand your knowledge on the subject then this is an entertaining read and listen. It’s full of anecdotes and stories and exposes quite a lot about the personality and character of Mr James.

The whole marketing approach of the 12 Month Millionaire is itself a study of marketing and worth exposing yourself to. That’s maybe worth the $37 on it’s own. In fact it really reminds me of the book published by Joe Karbo “The lazy Man’s Way To Riches” - the first direct mail book I ever bought. ( And still available at Amazon for $30)

I would say that Mr Karbo and Mr James may have had a lot in common from a marketing perspective.
I do think that you need to have a marketing machine in place already to take advantage of some of the stuff you’ll hear and read.

It seems to have hit a cord with marketers because by my last information about 4000 copies have already been sold.

Are you also being flooded with emails about the new miracle cure to internet marketing failure - 12 Month Millionaire. I’ve had half a dozen messages about it already today and I’m still on early morning coffee.

So - ok - I bought it. Well I’m also curious. If it’s a blow off then I’ve burned 37 bucks but what if it’s doable? Never mind the millions. Would an extra $100 000 a year make an impact in your life? It certainly would in mine.
Anyway - I can afford - and so can you - to lose the $37 but I can’t afford to walk past something that may be worth serious money.

The sales pitch is convincing and there are some good examples of follow up and backend selling that you should look at for your own education but I can’t tell you anymore than that right now.

I’m going to go through the material today and will probably post back here tomorrow on my thoughts.
