One Last Push…
July 28th, 2008The final content videos are live
today. Blog Mastermind opens
tomorrow.
Here’s the info you need…
———————
I just posted the final two videos for the opening
campaign of Blog Mastermind.
These last two videos are a look over my shoulder
at how my blog makes money and how much money it
makes.
These videos are designed to teach people about
how to make money blogging and show proof that
I’m actually doing it, plus create a final burst
of excitement about the potential for earning with
blogs in anticipation of the opening.
You can login here and grab your affiliate link
for the videos and start sending traffic there
immediately with your cookie.

In my experience affiliates who promote more than
once do the best, so if you have a spare slot in
your content schedule on your blog or your email
list today, send them these videos and set your
cookie for the opening tomorrow.
BLOG MASTERMIND OPENS AT 10 AM EST USA TIME
Everything is on schedule for a Tuesday 10 AM EST
USA time opening. At that time, the
blogmastermind.com/coaching/ page will switch over
to the order page and people will be able to
sign-up.
I’ve had a ton of people email me saying they
can’t wait until Tuesday so they can join, so I
expect this will be a successful opening.
To help maximize your commissions I suggest you do
two things -
1. Send an email and write a blog post just before
the opening linking through to the sign-up page
using your affiliate link.
2. Consider offering a bonus if they order through
your link.
The bonus technique is VERY powerful, so if you
can give one of your products away or throw in a
prize of some kind as an incentive for joining
through your affiliate link, you can turn extra
sales.
I do this myself for every big launch. If you
don’t have any products to include, why not give
away some of your time - offer personal mentoring
or tech support to any person who joins through
your affiliate link.
The affiliate link for the coaching sign-up page
is already in the promo tools area. You can login
and grab it here -
http://www.blogmastermind.com/affiliates/login/
I’ll have another email out to you tonight
closer to the opening to explain how the
fast-action bonuses will work and give you a
reminder about what is going to happen.
Keep up the good work!
Yaro Starak
PS. I’ll publish an update of the affiliate
standings once the program opens so we can see who
is on the leader board for the prizes. I can’t
wait to see who makes the top 10.
Swipe Content To Promote Million Dollar Blogger Interview
July 25th, 2008Here’s a swipe file for use
on your blog or email list
to promote the million dollar
blogger interview.
———————
The million dollar blogger interview has been very
well received and as I expected, it’s inspiring a
lot of people to believe in what blogging can do.
Actually it has inspired me - I want to start more
blogs in new niches because of it too!
If you haven’t yet told your audience about this
interview I guarantee they will love it. This has
to be one of the easiest tools ever to promote a
product launch with.
I realize some of you like the easy copy and paste
option, so here’s a swipe file you can use in a
blog post or email list to promote the interview.
Remember to login and get your affiliate link for
the interview and include it in the swipe file
where appropriate before posting it.

I have one more set of videos for people before
opening next Tuesday. I’ll get your affiliate
link for the videos ready for the weekend.
Keep up the good work!

SUBJECT 1: Can you believe this blog is worth $5 million dollars?
SUBJECT 2: Interview with a million dollar blogger
SUBJECT 3: Blogging can make you a millionaire - here is proof
Whoever said blogging can’t make you 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 the interview here -
INSERT AFFILIATE LINK TO INTERVIEW
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 -
INSERT AFFILIATE LINK TO INTERVIEW
Yaro released this video 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.
I’ll speak to you soon,

If the videos I released didn’t convince people
of the power of blogging, then this interview
will.
Alborz Fallah is a previous student of mine and is
in charge of CarAdvice.com.au, a blog recently
valued at $5 MILLION dollars.
Alborz’s story is fantastic and it shows you can
start a blog from nothing, focus on a passion and
turn it into a multi-million dollar business.
In this interview Alborz and I talk about how he
grew his blog, how he brought on board financial
backers and grew his income to 7-figures.
I’ve been friends with Alborz for years and it
was because of me that he got into blogging. I’m
constantly surprised by what he’s managed to
achieve with his blog and this interview is sure
to inspire your readers to get into blogging.
I can’t think of an easier way for you to earn
commissions.
1. Send traffic to this interview with your
affiliate link to set your cookie.
2. The interview provides tremendous value and
creates serious excitement about blogging.
3. Doors open to Blog Mastermind, people sign up
and you earn commissions.
I’m making this as easy as possible for you by
providing great content that your readers will
love. People will thank you for sending them to my
videos and this interview because it’s genuine
valuable content.
All you have to do is take the time to write a
blog post or send an email to your list. It’s
that easy.

Keep up the great work and thanks for your support!

this coming Tuesday, so clear some space to
promote next week.
Swipe File Content For Your Blog or Newsletter
July 23rd, 2008Here’s some copy you can
use in a blog post or email
newsletter as a promo for
the Conversion Blogging
video.
———————
A big thank you to my partners who have already
promoted the Conversion Blogging video so far.
The feedback has been great, the video is handling
the traffic load with flying colors (thankfully
the Amazon S3 server is staying up after its
horror weekend) and things are building nicely for
the opening next week.
A lot of my biggest partners haven’t promoted yet
- guys like Mike Filsaime, Rich Schefren and
Michael Cheney. Now is a great time to promote,
before these guys do.
Here’s some swipe copy you can use in an email to
your list or as a blog post. Feel free to copy it
exactly as is, or edit it to suit your audience.
Make sure you remember to add your affiliate link

I’ll be in touch again tomorrow when the podcast
interview with a 7-Figure blogger goes live, which
you can also send to your subscribers with an

Let’s keep the momentum going!

SUBJECT 1: Discover how a Blog can make you $10,000 a month
SUBJECT 2: The secrets of a six-figure blogger revealed
SUBJECT 3: Amazing video - you have to watch this…
If you have ever wondered how someone makes a
six-figure income online using a blog, I have
a video you just HAVE to watch.
Here’s the link:
INSERT YOUR AFFILIATE LINK
Yaro Starak, a well-respected blogger and blog
trainer, released a free video that takes you
inside his Internet business, which is based on
just one blog.
Using his blog, Yaro generates a steady $10,000 to
$20,000 each and every month.
His system is not your usual story of using a blog
and sticking AdSense on it - he’s taken a much
more BUSINESS focused approach.
He calls his system “Conversion Blogging”
because it combines a blog with an email list to
create consistent income.
Inside the video you will learn -
- Why blogs are the only Web 2.0 marketing tool
you will ever need
- Exactly how Yaro uses his blog to build a
MASSIVE email list
- How just a blog can turn you into the No. 1
authority in your market
- What methods Yaro uses to translate his blog
into a steady cash-flow stream
- How you can replicate Yaro’s methods using just
one blog and get started in minutes
I loved this video because it’s not full of
marketing hype, just a very down to earth and
practical presentation.
I guarantee you will enjoy this and learn something
too.
Set aside 32 minutes now, grab a drink, sit down
and watch this video -

system called “Conversion Blogging”, which uses
an email list and blog for maximum profits.
You should definitely watch the video yourself so

excited about my coaching program, Blog
Mastermind.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Over the next 7 days I have more videos and a
podcast interview coming out that will help build
anticipation for the opening on Tuesday July 29.
The coaching program costs $97 a month over 6
months or $497 upfront for all the training. You
earn 50% commission for every referral, so you
stand to make $248.50 minimum per member you
refer.
Go get out there and tell people about this great
video.

Will You Win One Of These Prizes?
July 16th, 2008As an extra incentive and because it’s just a fun thing to do, I’m running a competition for my affiliates. The top 10 affiliates will win the following prizes below.
The top 10 will be determined by the total number of new members they refer into the Blog Mastermind program up until the end of August.
Blog Mastermind reopens late July 2008 and the big launch will begin mid July. As with previous campaigns I have done, most people join during the launch period just when the doors open, so I recommend if you want to be a contender for the prizes you begin promotions now and continue to promote throughout July and August.
I provide you with lots of great content you can use to promote Blog Mastermind, all of which are extremely valuable to your readers, so you won’t feel like you have to force the sale on them. Just give them resources and let the value of my content do the work for you.
I intend to make prizes a regular event, so I suggest you consider integrating a permanent promotion for Blog Mastermind into your marketing system. If you want help doing this, please let me know.
Here are the prizes for the top 10. I’ll be sure to update standings throughout July and August as things progress.
1st - Apple Macbook Air
First place wins a MacBook Air, the thinnest and newest computer from the Apple range. I’m a recent convert to Mac and I won’t be going back. I can’t think of a better mobile blogging device than the Air - it’s easy to carry, has the Mac OS and well, you have street cred when you pull this out at the local coffee shop to write your blog posts.
2nd - Asus Eee PC
Before I switched to Mac a few months back, I was a die-hard Asus fan having used a tiny Asus laptop for the last four years, traveling and blogging around the world with it. The Eee PC is about the smallest Asus laptop you can get - smaller than the MacBook Air even, though I think the Air is cooler, which is why it’s the first place prize and second place will have to settle for this micro Asus laptop.
3rd - Sony PSP
The Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable) is awesome. I had a Gameboy when I grew up, it was awesome too, but well, it’s old and the PSP is new. It’s amazing what this little device can do and that’s not just the gaming part. It’s got wi-fi, movies, about the best screen I’ve ever seen on a portable gaming device and even RSS - yes, you can read blogs on a PSP too!
4th - iPod Nano
The latest Nano has video, that’s cool. I loaded up some video presentations I did for my membership training program and watched a tiny little Yaro head talk to me. I felt like I had finally made it to TV, even if I was the only person watching. The 4th place prize winner will probably want to find some more compelling shows to watch on their iPod.
5th - Nintendo DS
Did I mention I loved my Gameboy? Well here’s it’s predecessor from good old Nintendo, a company that still knows how to innovate. It’s not quite as cool as the PSP, but it makes up for it in pure playability, which is what Nintendo always do best - they make fun games. The 5th place winner I hope will have lots of FUN with this prize.
6th - Snowball Mic by Blue
I recently bought one of these microphones for my Mac set up since I record so much audio and video. I use it to record screenflow presentations and (don’t tell anyone), my secret passion for yodeling. This mic will make you sound crisp, clear and remove any ambient noise, and it all runs off your standard USB connection. Podcasters and musicians will love this prize.
7th - Creative VADO
If you watched any of the recent videos I put up on my blog from my trips to Las Vegas and Chicago, you will have seen video recorded by my little Vado. The Vado is a great mini camera that plugs straight into your computer via USB, has enough storage to record an hour in high quality or two hours in standard quality video, has a rechargeable battery and is the ideal video blogger tool.
8th - Altec Lansing VS4121BLK Speakers and Sub Woofer
I’ve used this exact set of PC speakers and sub with my computer for years. I actually keep a set in Australia and Canada. The deep bass from the woofer is amazing and the two little speakers are surprisingly crisp and clear. Perfect for listening to online music with.
9th - iPod Shuffle
To be honest this prize isn’t so good. It’s such a small little player you are bound to lose it and well, it’s got no video so I can’t watch the tiny Yaro on this one like I can on the Nano. I guess the shuffle is good for jogging and sport though.
10th - Frank’s Hot Sauce
If you manage to squeeze into the top 10 in the final slot you get… hot sauce. It’s actually not even a full size bottle - it’s a sample size. You might call this a booby prize, or maybe this could lead to a taste experience like you have never had before. Well at least you can say you made the top 10…
That’s it for the prizes. Remember you win these based on the total number of new members you refer from the opening of the program in July up to the end of August. You have a full month to promote, however the doors open in late July and most people will join then, so if you want to win one of these and score lots of commissions, you should begin promoting TODAY.
If you haven’t already, make sure you sign up as an affiliate.
Good luck!
