My interview with Successful Bloggers eBook

by ZK on February 18, 2010

I was recently interviewed by Evan Hadkins for his new book –
Successful Bloggers Ebook, that features six successful bloggers. The book is available for FREE download and is a good read if you are looking to get the right mindset to build a successful blog.

What is different in Successful Bloggers eBook

This eBook is different firstly because of the way the interviews were done. Evan did not start with a set of questions but took a different approach by asking us our blogging experience and developed it from there.

Initially I thought this approach would be very time consuming and difficult to collate all the interviews but Evan managed to put up a very resourceful book. Evan was more open to the different experiences that the blogger went through.

The ebook distills the essence of bloggers’ experiences and picks out common themes from the experiences of this very diverse group of bloggers.

Other Bloggers featured in the book include :

Carol King – Positive Thinking 4 Life
Corey Freeman – Corey Freeman
Chris Garrett – Chris Garrett
Robb Sutton – Robb Sutton
Mark Silver – Mark Silver

Successful Bloggers ebook is a FREE download, the best part is that you don’t have to have an email to download this book. The book is a very valuable resource for those who want to be successful bloggers.

Evan has put a lot of effort in this ebook, leave a comment to encourage him to give all of us a few more of these free downloads.

Why some blogs make good money while others don’t?

by ZK on January 25, 2010

Why some blogs make good money, while others fail ?

This is a question you must have asked yourself a few times, especially at the initial start up stage of creating your blog or while studying top blogs in your niche only to find that not all of them make money.

My friend David Risley who makes a Six Figure income from his two blogs ( pcmech.com and davidrisley.com ) each year reveals a way of looking at this aspect differently. He has captured his thoughts in detail in the below video, it’s something I’ve never seen before.

Click here or on the above image to watch the video .

David gets deep in explaining a psychological test you can use to evaluate any blogging niche as to it’s potential as a money maker.

In the video David mentions TWO big markets and how they measure up to profitability and very powerful basic element of getting into the minds of your audience, the ‘Top of Mind’ recall as they say in marketing & branding terms.

Build an Emotional Bond with your Blog Readers
There is a lot that goes into building a truly successful blog and getting down to the emotional core of the reader. The crucial element of building an emotional bond between your audience and your blog is explained brilliantly in the video.

You can apply the same principles explained in the video to get into the minds of YOUR readers in YOUR market and tap that EMOTIONAL bonding.

The material in this video is one of the many principles David teaches his students in the Blog Masters Club, this concept is covered in Market Research – Module 2 . You can also sign up for the FREE download to Six Figure Blog Blueprint on the video page.
