Whoever said blogging can’t make BIG money had not heard this story.
Yaro Starak interviewed his previous student, Alborz Fallah, who is the owner of caradvice.com.au – a car blog for Australians, which was valued at $5 million dollars and generates close to $50,000 a month.
You can listen or read (or both) the interview here -
Alborz started his blog like most people, sitting at home, writing content each day outside of the time he spent at his full time job. His blog grew, he started making money and he just kept working.
Eventually he was approached by people who wanted to buy his blog. He said no, until someone came along who only wanted to buy a share in the site and help it continue to grow. Alborz agreed and
his blog immediately went from part time hobby, to full time business.
Today Alborz’s blog has full time employees, he travels to Europe to test some of the most prestigious cars in the world and it’s fair to say he is living a dream – making big money writing about a topic he loves.
In this interview you can hear Alborz talk about how he grew his traffic, how he brought on investors to help grow his site and what’s it like being in charge of a multi-million dollar blog.
It’s worth listening to this interview because you can learn some key things to help with your own quest to make a profitable blog, for example -
- How Alborz chose the topic for his blog is a
great lesson for anyone else out there struggling
to come up with a blog topic
- The search engine advice Alborz offers is
powerful yet simple and will immediately help your
own blog get more traffic, if you follow it
- The story of how investors came on board to take
Car Advice to the next level is unique, but
definitely worth hearing because it shows how you
can grow a blog from just making a few hundred
dollars, to making six or seven figures a year.
The interview is available for instant download in MP3 or text transcript. Here’s the link again -
Yaro released this audio to inspire people to believe what is possible with a blog.
If you want to follow in Alborz’s footsteps, consider taking on Yaro as your blog coach and join his Blog Mastermind coaching program and you might just become the next Alborz.
Speak soon,

In preparation for the launch of the new Blog Mastermind, here is the link to the new, free video, Conversion Blogging.
It’s absolutely free with no obligation. You just click on the link above and watch the video. It’s 33 minutes long and packed with great content on making money with your blog, so you might want to grab a coffee or something and get comfortable.
After the video, you have the opportunity to enter your name and email address to subscribe to the Blog Mastermind email list and get the link to the second video. The new Blog Mastermind will launch one week from today, so you will get a fair amount of email from Yaro over the week.
During normal periods, however, Yaro doesn’t abuse your time by sending you a bunch of senseless email. I was on his list long before I signed up to take the course and I’ve only stayed on two lists for the long haul. The other list is the Thirty Day Challenge. Yaro always provides great content worth reading. The emails are formatted for easy reading, unlike many of the emails you’ll get being on other’s lists.
Here is the link again: Conversion Blogging. Click on over and watch!
For those of you eagerly awaiting the reopening of Blog Mastermind, your wait is over. Yaro Starak is launching the new and improved Blog Mastermind course on July 29, 2008. It was supposed to reopen in June, but there were some content issues that Yaro wanted to fix before launching the new program.
Later today, July 22, Yaro is launching a new free, two-part video series about blogging. Check back here for the link to the free video. Part I requires absolutely no commitment on your part. You don’t even have to give your name or email address to watch it.
To see part 2, you will have to opt-in to the email list by giving your name and email address. You can remove yourself from any of Yaro’s lists by scrolling to the bottom of any email and clicking on the unsubsribe link. Yaro uses AWEBER, as do I, and AWEBER has a very firm committment to the CAN-SPAM act, so unsubscribing is easy and you won’t be harrassed about it should you subscribe and then decide to unsubscribe later.
In the meantime, please download and read the Blog Profits Blueprint. It’s available free as a pdf file and as an audio at the following banner link:
There are always details involved whenever you embark on learning something new.
If you are brand new to blogging and don’t know how to get started, go to Become a Blogger.com to learn how to set up a blog for the first time.
Here’s to your blogging success,

Still a student of quality blogging
Free targeted traffic to our niche sites is what we all want, and using Web 2.0 to our best advantage is the way to get it. We want organic growth in the search engines, especially Google, and we want it as fast as we can get it. But that’s the trick. You can’t artificially grow organic traffic. But you can speed up that organic growth by diligently using Web 2.0 consistently.
Web 2.0 is the key to any online business’s success, whether you plan to make a part-time income to supplement a regular job or a full-time income to replace that dreaded J-O-B.
Web 2.0 also works for offline products and your local, bricks and mortar business. You can have a web presence for very little money to drive in additional sales. Local customers tend to research online and then go to the store to make the purchase. Why not have your store available for that online research and have customers come in to make there purchase at your store? You don’t have to make sales online if you don’t want to. Just being on the web to provide product information will drive more traffic into your local store.
How much should a web presence cost? For $9.95/mo in web hosting and $12 or so per year for your domain name ($132 per year), your local business can have a website to drive traffic in your door. If you’re paying substantially more than $132 a year for a website, you’re getting ripped off. Find a local blogger to help you set up a hosting account, get your domain name moved and start a website using WordPress software. WordPress software is free and a local WordPress blogger will likely help you get set up and show you around WordPress for substantially less than your local website design firm.
Many businesses are paying hundreds of dollars a year just for hosting a site they don’t understand and can’t change. Getting that site developed may have cost hundreds to thousands of dollars as well. Having changes made is yet another big expense. Cut your budget with a WordPress blog!
With a bundle of great resources to teach you Web 2.0 and how and where to use it to your best advantage!
In the Web 2.0 Resource Bundle you get 4 Current and New Web 2.0 and Social Media Products in One Package for One Remarkably Low Price!
The entire package is only $47.77!
The going rate for most e-books is $97.
I don’t like to spend a bunch of money on e-books and digital information products. But when you can get a bundle of e-products and resources you really need at a 34% discount, and not spend more than you normally might at Amazon or Barnes & Noble, that’s a good deal.
So if you need to learn about Web 2.0 this is the resource bundle to buy!
This package was bundled by Professor Ron Capps, a premier writer of private label rights (PLR) products you can purchase and then resell under your own brand.
Most of us are working from home to make a living, whether online or offline. Many of us are using our computers to help generate extra income, and a lot of us use the Clickbank affiliate program to market information products.
Clickbank is great, but it has many limitations and restrictions, especially when it comes to commissions paid to affiliate marketers. I use Clickbank, but I haven’t had much business from them. They just don’t carry the products that would sell well in my niches.
Enter PayDotCom. Mike Filsaime, the well-known internet marketing guru, figured there had to be a better way to do what Clickbank does without all the restrictions and limitations.
PayDotCom is FREE to sign up with the affiliate program and you can immediately start marketing products from their site and earning better commissions than with Clickbank. Their marketplace is HUGE, so finding appropriate products for your affiliate sales is easier.
OH! – They also have their own affiliate program that pays you COLD HARD cash just for sharing PayDotCom with people like I am doing with you…Clickbank doesn’t have an affiliate program of its own at all.
If you have an information product for sale, you can sell it on PayDotCom as well.
They give you cool tools like BLOG WIDGETS, and they even have an advertising program to help you get traffic to your site.
If you want an ARMY of affiliates to sell your products for you, they also allow you to have Free placement in their marketplace!
Even better… If your product becomes one of the Top 25 products in its category in the marketplace (not that hard to do)…then you will get Free advertising on the Blog Widget which is syndicated on THOUSANDS of sites World Wide and get Millions of impressions per month.

Ok, that wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be.
Once I upgraded all the plugins the page content came back. Since the home page still worked, it had to be a problem with the page.php file. I went through the tags and found I was missing one “end div” tag right before the template called the sidebars. I put the tag in and it was fixed!!!
Yeah! I don’t have to change WP templates!
I’m writing a quick note to tell you that all my pages except the blog (home) page are broken. The sidebars don’t show up, but the page content does. It seems to have happened with the most recent WordPress upgrade. It could be that a plugin isn’t working with the theme after the upgrade, or the theme itself might not be compatible with the newest version.
I’ve turned off all the plugins, then reactivated the vital ones and that didn’t fix it. Updating the plugins seemed to help. At least the page content is visible and formatted properly again. I’ll keep working on the sidebar problem…
If I can’t get it fixed in the next couple of weeks, I’ll have to switch themes permanently. I really hate to do that. I like News Blue, but I have to have a theme that works more than I need to like it. Function before appearance…
If you’ve had a similar experience with the most recent upgrade of WordPress and were able to fix it, please let me know what you did.
Thanks,
Sherri
