Warning: This is NOT the pre-packaged, copy-and-paste review that most other marketers have sent out.
It’s my personal reaction after buying and reading Blogging To The Bank 3.
I hope you find it helpful.
Gary Harvey.

Greetings. I wont waste your time telling you that this is about blogging, or about what a blog is.

We’ll get straight into my observations and reactions as I read through BTTB3.

TWO (MINOR?) NEGATIVES

1. The first chapter is sub-titled ‘The 3 Big Changes in Big Money Blogging’ but it’s only got 2 items in it. Pity about that. It didn’t encourage me about the quality of the rest of the information in the report.

But I guess it illustrates you don’t have to be either good with figures or detail-minded to make big bucks in the blogosphere. So I continued to look for the gold in this 58 page report.

As I read further, I decided the proof reader should be sacked – if there even was a proofreader. But again, these are minor twigs… not enough grounds to dismiss the book… yet.

2. What I do after reading the salesletter, buying the product and then reading it is… I go back to the sales letter to see if the product DELIVERS on its promises.

So let me alert you to the fact that “The One Technique No One Else Is Telling You About On How To Build A Multi Million Dollar Blogging Empire” is outsourcing. Not exactly something we’ve never read about before.

But let’s overlook an excess of enthusiasm by his copywriter.

YOUR TWO BLOG INCOME OPTIONS

There are two main ways to make money from blogging — promote affiliate programs and/or earn from advertising. That includes AdSense but also other advertising which Rob sees as a growing revenue source.

Rob prefers to build blogs that sell ClickBank affiliate products. So if you want to build AdSense blogs, please realize that BTTB3 (Blogging To The Bank 3) is not primarily about that… because Rob makes more money from going the affiliate route. And these days, that’s exactly as you’d expect it.

CHOOSING WHAT PRODUCT TO PROMOTE / WHAT NICHE TO ENTER (VERY IMPORTANT STUFF)

Get this step wrong and all your time and effort and money is wasted, so as the owner of http://FindHotMarkets.com, I always pay special attention to this chapter in every report I read.

How does Rob Benwell choose what to promote at his blogs?

Or more to the point:

How does Rob choose the products he BUILDS HIS BLOGS TO PROMOTE?

You see, he doesn’t start with a niche. He starts with a product. Then he builds around that.

The details of his product-selection system are a little different to what I’ve seen or used before. Not hugely different (it contains a lot of the standard good advice – as it should), but it may be that the seemingly minor differences in Rob’s method are CRITICAL to his astonishing blog success.

The reason I say that is that Rob has succeeded wildly beyond the achievements of 99% of bloggers. At age 24, he’s earned a MILLION USD from blogging – and there’s a very nice picture at the site of his new home and 3 snazzy motor cars he owns.

So don’t underestimate the value of this section. This alone makes the report worth getting (despite my earlier comments about the substandard proofreading).

SETUP IN JUST A FEW CLICKS

In case you’re worried about how difficult it might be to set up WordPress (which you should use for your blogs), don’t worry. Many hosting services use Cpanel which has Fantastico as one of its features. And one thing Fantastico does is set up WP blogs with a couple of clicks. When WP issues an update, the updating is a one click operation.

The website hosting service I use offers Simple Scripts as well as Fantastico. Both provide a super easy installation process for WordPress. Apparently SimpleScripts is even easier and more stable than Fantastico so I’m happy with now having 2 ways to get the job done. From time to time, SimpleScripts sends me an email saying it’s time to login and do an update to the WordPress system. Just one click per domain and you’re done. Nice and fast, and it works.

Rob offers free download of his own blog template that you can use if you like. I’m sure it will include a link back to one of his sites – which is a good way to generate backlinks, one that he and others recommend.

GETTING TRAFFIC TO YOUR NEW BLOG

This section contains solid advice, including how to use the popular Web2.0 sites such as Digg, Technorati, etc, etc…

For me, the important issue here is not whether we’ve seen this advice before in the various free forums and articles.

For me, the IMPORTANT POINT here is that this million dollar blogger uses these methods. He explains how he uses them too.

GETTING THOUSANDS OF LINKS TO YOUR BLOG

All on its own, this tip is reason enough to buy the report. It’s easy to do, too.

No, I can’t disclose it here. That wouldn’t be right.

Depending on how much time you have to read these days, you might or might not have seen this idea before. I’d read it once but paid no attention. Now that millionaire blogger Rob Benwell is recommending it, I’m going to start doing it. You should too.

ONCE THE MONEY STARTS ROLLING IN, YOU CAN SAVE TIME BY OUTSOURCING SOME OF THE WORK

This is his secret to building a massive blog empire.

So Rob has a detailed section on outsourcing. Where he gets help. What to outsource, what not to.

It just makes sense that after you’ve set up an empire of blogs in one or several different industries, you just can’t keep on doing all the writing and maintenance tasks yourself.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS?

EXPERIENCED BLOGGERS might find a few nuggets of insight that will make it worth their while. I have seen established internet marketers write about how they buy every new report that looks half promising and when they find a few little treasures among a lot of stuff they already know, they are delighted.

When you know the proven basics, any extra octane you can get can make a significant difference… far greater than the low cost of this report.

NEWBIES will find it quite comprehensive. Rob has given an overview of the whole process from picking a topic…
to finding keywords and content…
to setting up your new blog…
to your money making options…
to getting backlinks and traffic. And much more besides.
