Review of Blog It by Jonathan Street and Nick Laight's Canonbury Publishing
Jonathan Street has recently released a new home study course called "Blog It". It is published by Nick Laight and Canonbury Publishing.
Jonathan is known online as the "Internet Income Detective" due to his contributions to Nick Laight's newsletter. He has been making a full time income on the internet for quite a while now and spends thousands of pounds a year on the latest internet marketing related products to keep up-to-date with the latest technologies.
"Blog It" is one of those packages that makes quite a thump when it comes through the post box.
You get a huge printed A4 manual and a very smartly put together bonus pack of CDs. All in all you get 4 CDs which are designed to be viewed on either your PC or your Mac. The manual that comes with the package runs to over a hundred pages.
The whole idea of this course is to set up free blogs on Google's blogger site with the aim of making some passive income. The system revolves around blog marketing.
This is basically a beginner/intermediate guide so is ideal for anyone who is new to blogging or who hasn't been able to make money or get traffic.
The course goes through how to get content for your blogs giving several free methods and also some inexpensive ways of obtaining quality content.
Jonathan also covers how to have your content created automatically - perfect for an information marketer.
The Blog It manual covers a lot of features which you probably haven't considered using or didn't realise existed. All kinds of technical topics are covered which, with the way he describes it, are actually quite simple to understand.
Like many different systems, the Blog It package involves niche marketing - providing quality content to particular groups of people.
Your blog can create passive income for you from advertising and from promoting affiliate products.
Why Create a Blog?
If you haven't already got a website then it makes a lot of sense to start blogging for some potentially easy passive profits.
If you do happen to have a website then it makes a lot of sense to create a blog related to the website. Why? Well, it's free and you can use it to increase the number of visitors to your site and also improve your ranking in the search engines.
Many expert Internet marketers use blogs because there is a widely held belief that the search engines "love them" and so place them high in their results.
Using blogs in conjunction with a website can increase your website's standing in the search engine results pages due to the increased number of backlinks.
But, What About the Costs?
Well, here's the great news - Blogs don't cost a penny. There's no expense in setting up a blog using Google's Blogger site except perhaps for your time in setting them up and adding content regularly.
However setting up a blog is easy and is unlikely to take you more than a few minutes.
If you can open a free e-mail account such as Hotmail then you shouldn't have any problem creating your own blog.
Here's how easy it is:
Open the blog it manual, and then turn to Page 37 which is titled "Setting up your blog". Follow the precise instructions (which include images and the exact settings you should choose) until you get to page 42. Then simply press "Save Settings" and your new blog is created!
It is as simple as that. Five to 10 minutes' work, at the most...
Okay, what about special skills or experience?
Creating a blog is pretty much the same as signing up for any type of web-based service. You will need an e-mail address and some details about what subject your blog will cover, but that's about it.
Basically, as long as you can stick with it and follow Jonathan's simple instructions, there's no reason why you can't get a great little passive income stream running within just a month.
Is This A Viable Long-Term Money-Maker?
In closing the manual, Jonathan Street adds a section called "Profit Potential" where he shows you how it is very possible to make £20,000 plus per year from just a handful of blogs.
The "Blog It" system will need some work on your part, it isn't a "plug in and play, one million a year for sitting around in your underwear" type of scheme.
If you're looking for a viable way to make some money without a whole load of initial expenditure then I would suggest looking very closely at this course.
Not only is the manual bulky and detailed but there is a whole load of material on the CDs as well including step-by-step videos which you can follow on screen.
It's very likely that you'll be up and running with a well ranking blog in a very short space of time.
