Earlier in the week I offered ProBlogger readers signing up for the BlogMastermind Blog Mentoring program the chance to win a Flip video camera and 5 ProBlogger books. The 48 hour window to win is up and the winners (selected randomly) are: Winner of Flip Video Camera (I just bought one for myself too) - Becky Carroll Winners of the ProBlogger books - Rebecca Jones, Michael Singer, Paul Ermisc, Karyn Fleeting and Thomas J Stacey. A special thanks to Marcus Chavers who won the book but asked for me to share the love and for it to be given to another person as he already had a copy (Thomas, you owe Marcus a beer)

Talking Blog Networks

There has been ALOT of talk around the blogosphere about blog networks lately - ALOT! Some of it is as a result of the closing of the Know More Media blog network, some of it as a result of AOL and Gawker making changes to the way their networks pay bloggers and some of it is…. well…. just because every six or so months there seems to be talk about blog networks.

In the last week a new ad network has launched - PerformancingAds . Bloggers who have been around for a while will know that this isn’t the first time Performancing have ventured into the ad network space - they previously launched a network back in 2006 but closed it down last year during a period where they when through a management restructure and ultimately were sold. I was sad when the network closed last time as I thought it did have promise and love to see new ad options launched specifically aimed at bloggers

While I’m getting things ready I’m looking for prizes from up to 3 sponsors

Over the last few weeks there have been a number of offers and deals for bloggers - some exclusive to you as Problogger readers. As some of these expire at the end of the month I thought I’d give a brief recap of three of them with cut of dates that are approaching: $100 Signup Bonus from Chitika - Chitika are offering all new publishers who sign up through ProBlogger the chance to earn up to $100 as a signup bonus. Any new publisher signing up with them will have their earnings up until the end of August doubled - dollar for dollar - to a maximum bonus of $100

Passion, Honesty, Content and Light-Footedness - Ingredients of Successful Blogging

July 25, 2008 by admin  
Filed under Internet Marketing

Yesterday I linked up to an interview with an Australian blogger (Alborz Fallah from CarAdvice.com.au ) who has built his blog from a hobby to a million dollar business in just two years. I’ve not been able to get Alborz story out of my mind since as it’s a brilliant example of what is possible with blogging - but also resonates with my own story and approach. Today I’d just quickly like to pull out a few of the threads of the conversation in that interview that I think were important (there were many more but these resonated most with me): Passion for Topic It is totally possible to blog successfully and profitably on a topic that you have little or no interest in - but Alborz is so obviously passionate about his topic and I believe it is key to attracting a readership who shared his passion.
