Win a Full Conference Pass at Blog World Expo! Posted: 30 Jul 2008 06:08 AM CDT One of my biggest regrets of 2007 was not being able to attend Blog World Expo. The reports that came out of BWE from thousands of bloggers were quite amazing. Rich networking, great teaching, showcases of services and tools for bloggers and much much more. This year Blog World Expo is on again (20-21 September) in Las Vegas. I’m hoping to attend this year (I’m 50/50 at this point as we’re waiting to see how our new baby settles before I travel again) as the list of people that I know who are attending is quite amazing. They’ve started compiling a list of speakers here. If I’m going I’ll be involved in at least one panel and probably another session. I emailed the Rick Calvert CEO of BWE earlier in the week and asked him if they’d be willing to put up a couple of free passes to attend - he generously agreed. The passes are worth $400 each - there are two of them to go to two separate winners. So here’s how we’re going to give them away - it’s time for a commenting competition. Before entering - you need to know that these passes do NOT include travel or accommodation they simply give you free access to the conference once you’re there. Please don’t enter if you’re not willing to cover your other expenses or be there as I’d love for someone to win them that are actually certain to use them! In comments below I’d like to invite you to leave a comment telling us why you’d like to attend Blog World Expo in 250 words or less. Rick and his team will select two comments that they think are deserving of winning. They’ll judge the winners based on your comments. This will run for one week from the time this post goes live. I’ll then close off comments and get Rick to select the winners. Looking forward to reading your entries and the possibility of meeting you in Vegas later in the year! Share This

Blog Hosting Recommendations - Who Hosts Yours? Posted: 29 Jul 2008 03:57 PM CDT “Can you give me advice on which host to go with to host my blog?” It’s a question that I’m asked a lot - but one that I can’t offer a lot of personal advice on as my blogs have been successfully hosted on b5media’s servers for a couple of years now. We use LogicWorks at b5 but I’m interested to hear who you use and recommend to host your blog? Who do you use to host your blog? Why do you use them? No affiliate links in comments please - they will be deleted. Share This

BlogMastermind Launches With Bonuses and Prizes for ProBlogger Readers Posted: 29 Jul 2008 08:40 AM CDT As this post goes live the doors at the BlogMastermind blog mentoring program are opening again for the first time in many months. Signup today to receive free bonuses as a ProBlogger reader and go in the running to win a prize - you could win a Flip Video Camera or a ProBlogger book (see the updates at the end of this post for more details). When he first launched BlogMastermind I was really impressed by what Yaro had put together. He didn’t just rely upon the fact that he earns a six figure income from blogging to draw numbers into his site - he put so much work into developing a teaching site that delivered students amazing value. This has been confirmed to me many times over from the feedback that I regularly hear from students that enrolled last time around. It was so popular last time that Yaro closed the doors on the program so as to be able to give students the attention that they deserved and to stop it being overrun. Please don’t be put off by the sales page (that has to be the longest one I’ve seen for quite some time - the video at the top is probably the best part) - Yaro’s training content is first rate. You can get a great feel for the the type of content that Yaro offers students with some of the free videos and reports that he’s already released: Watch his video on Conversion Blogging (the way Yaro makes his money from blogging) Listen to his interview with a former BlogMastermind Student (who now has a blog worth millions) Watch two new videos where Yaro gives more insight into how his blogs make money See Yaro’s Become a Better Blogger Series of Videos (designed for real beginner bloggers) Get the Blog Profits Blueprint (a report that contains some great information on blogging for money) Those five links alone give bloggers some great insights into profitable blogging and will give you a taste for what BlogMastermind is all about and how Yaro teaches. You’ll notice as you listen to Yaro teach that he’s not into hype, he declares on his sales page that this isn’t about getting rich quick, his lessons are clear and that he gives concrete strategies. I know from the numerous times that Yaro and I have met in person that he’s a genuine guy and just loves to help people learn how to blog. As a result I’d highly recommend the program and hope that you enjoy the experience as much as I have in the time I’ve spent in BlogMastermind. You can sign up either on month by month basis (getting a taste in the first month) or get the full access to the program all at once for six months at a discounted rate. Bonuses for ProBlogger Readers Yaro is offering the first 100 students to invest BlogMastermind 3 free bonuses. The bonuses are live teleconferences on three aspects of blogging (using video, website conversion and conversion blogging). However Yaro has generously just told me that ALL ProBlogger readers will receive these three bonuses - whether you’re in the first 100. You will need to signup using one of the links in this post (like this one) to qualify for this. My Bonus to ProBlogger Readers As an extra bonus to those of you who sign up through Problogger I’m going to put up a few prizes. First Prize - one student to sign up through the ProBlogger link in the next two days will get a Flip Video Mino Series Camcorder. 5 Runner Up Prizes - 5 students who sign up in the next two days will get a copy of the ProBlogger book. I’ll choose the prizes at random in 48 hours from anyone who subscribes from this page - you can do it here. Share This
