WordPress Goldmine and Your Blog will Make Real Money

By Art Lynch

Wordpress Goldmine is practically in a class by itself. What I mean by that is it is truely helpful and will teach you how to make money online. It is first and foremost a treatise on profitable internet marketing and secondarily a blog instruction course. This e-book and continuing video course is definitely not the usual rehashed drivel. This author speaks from experience.

Let's look at the e-book first, but do remember, it's only a part of what you get. The videos more than demonstrate what the e-book is about.

The five section e-book provides you with in-depth information about not only the processes needed to build your own sites but also what kinds of sites you can create. Live site examples (with URLs) guide you. That is not seen in other, similar products. Mark Thompson, the author, has broken it all down into the following easy to understand sections to make it easy to follow.

The first section deals with the basics, how to find a profitable domain name, the ways to build your wordpress blog, the selection of themes and plugins, and basic blog promotion. the focus is on getting it done quickly and using as much of what is offered free as posible.

The second section teaches you about content and why it's important for your blog. Various methods of getting content are discused and they include Private Label Rights (PLR) material, hiring writers and writing the content yourself. A great source of free content is revealed and what you need to do to tap into it.

Section Three is the money section. In my opinion, you'll be repaid for the product many times over using what you learn in it. Mark explains, clearly, the ways to monetize a WordPress blog. He tells you in depth how he made $20,000 with a single blog post. The plan in this book is realistic. Others are not and will tell you that you'll be raking in many thousands of dollars in just 30 days. You'll find those plans not achievable. There's no pie in the sky here. Follow this plan and you'll be earning an extra $1,000 per week by year's end.

Section Four shows you the various ways to promote your sites. There's an easy to follow diagram with a list of sites that, when used as described, make the difference between success and failure for your sites. This section is second in importance to only the monetization section.

Section Five teaches you the ways to promote your sites using Web 2.0 to drive them to high rankings and compete more effectively against all competitors. Some may find this section a little formidable at first, but Mark warns at the start that you need to have mastered the other ones before you move on to this one.

Let's look at the videos now

Rather than a paragraph about each video I'm going to let the titles provide the explanation of each.

April Step By Step - Build two digital products

The WordPress Goldmine e-book is 127 pages long, and is accompanied with over 20 videos. The e-book and vidieos are updated as things change (for example, the version of WordPress). In addition to the e-book and videos you have access to a very lively forum.

I've seen a lot of internet marketing products since I've been in the business. Nothing compares to the quality Mark Thompson gives you in WordPress Goldmine. If you plan to buy any e-book at all this year, make sure this one is at the top of your list.
