Introduction

This eBook will expose the main secrets on how pro

bloggers make big money. I’m talking about huge secrets that many pro bloggers don’t want you to know, because

they make money selling those big secrets.

You will soon learn information about blogging that most

of the pros will probably cringe at me offering for free.

By the time you are done reading this eBook, you will

have a complete understanding of how the blogging

business operates. This eBook will actually become your

best friend if you decide to get into the blogging

business. You will soon understand the exciting reason I

wrote that last sentence.

Every bit of information in here is designed to not only

expose how to make a lot of money blogging, it will make

3

your blogging life much easier during the entire process,

but more so while getting your blog set up. You will

actually be spoiled if you are just now getting into the

blogging business, and you will soon understand why.

I could probably package this eBook and sell it online, but

offering it free to you is actually more beneficial for both

of us, as you will also soon discover.

Let’s get one thing up front and out of the way before we

get going. If you are thinking about getting into the

blogging business, and if you want to learn how the pros

make a lot of money blogging, you need to know the

truth about this business, and how it operates. When

you know the truth about the blogging business, a whole

new set of amazing opportunities will open up for you.

The information in this eBook changed my life and it can

change yours too.

You could make a great living while blogging about your

passion, and possibly even quit that dead-end job, like

hundreds of people all over the world have done who are

discovering this incredible business.

Blogging is growing by leaps and bounds every day and

it’s now easier than ever for anyone to start a blogging

business with a simple blog platform like WordPress. Any

Internet novice can easily set up and operate their own

profitable blog. Plus, there are many great tools currently

available that are designed to save you weeks, and even

months of hard work.

Many stay at home moms, who are seeking alternative

ways to generate income, have taken up blogging and

are doing extremely well. Even teenage kids are making

healthy six figure incomes blogging. So, there’s no reason

why you shouldn’t be able to accomplish making a

decent living blogging about your passion. The trick is to

know the secrets.

If you’ve been digging around online and learning about

blogging, you’ve probably discovered it’s no big secret

that many bloggers are earning 10, 20, 30 and $40,000

per month blogging. I just read another story about a

nineteen year old kid making more than $100,000 per

month. Yes, you did read that right. Per month. I can tell

you, it’s all true. I would have had a hard time believing it

myself if I had not sat down with a successful Internet

marketer for two straight days while he taught me

almost everything I know now.

5

I was doing a paint job for a guy who lived in a huge

home in a gated community and I noticed he had five

computer monitors set up on one desk in his office. How

impressive I thought, since I only had one monitor in my

office at the time. When I asked what he did, he replied,

“I market products and services from WordPress built

blog pages.”

What a great guy, and super nice too. He sat me down

for two full days and taught me all of his secrets. He

actually showed me all of his money earning accounts

too. So, I got to see all of this information first hand, right there in front of my eyes. He even gave me a $2,000

educational program to learn more about how he was

making his fortune.

He wasn’t shy about telling me that he earned more than

$25,000 per month from only one WordPress blog, and

he also has several others that are pulling in nice monthly

incomes as well. The amazing thing was that he went

from nothing (broke) to making more than $25,000 per

month in only six months time. That’s right! He did not

live in that huge home in a gated community just six

months earlier.

6

When I saw how easy this blogging business was, after

learning those cool marketing secrets from that guy, and

the life he was living, I couldn’t wait to get started. My

life has been an exciting whirlwind ever since. Yours can

be too.

There is something powerful and addicting about

blogging and Internet marketing that you are about to

discover, and there is money to be made, if you can learn

the secrets and follow the rules, but most of all, have

patience.

If you want to make extra money, or if you are looking

for a way out of your current job, blogging offers a great

opportunity for those of you who are realistic thinkers

and can follow specific steps.

If you currently operate a blog and it’s not monetized,

you are throwing money away, AND, you could also be

reaching out to help more people who want to blog and

make money at the same time. That is quite a profound

statement you will soon have a complete understanding

about. So, keep looking for the answer to that statement

throughout this eBook, and when you get the “ah ha”

moment, you will see the power of blogging in your

7

niche, and how you can make money while reaching out

to help others.

By monetizing your own blog and teaching other people

how to accomplish the same process, you can make

more money and help people at the same time.

You, more than likely, registered to receive this free,

basic bloggers eBook, because you may have heard

about all the money bloggers make, and you probably

want to learn how to make money blogging as well. With

that said, you are in for an exciting treat coming up later

in this short eBook.

There are a few amazing items coming up for anyone

who already has a blog up and running, and also for

anyone who is thinking about starting a blog for income.

You don’t want to miss that incredible information.

If you are currently blogging and not making things

happen, as far as earning an income with your blog, the

information coming up will change your life.

I don’t consider myself the brightest guy on the block and

I’m pointing that out now, because I want you to know,

8

anyone can get into this blogging business and make

money.

Wouldn’t you love to wake up every morning excited to

go to work, and love what you do so much that you want

to do it all day long, seven days a week? Wouldn’t you

love to earn a nice income while doing what you love,

and do it from your own home, or even take it on the

road?

I get up every morning and can’t wait to get into my

home office to blog about my niche, and to market my

blog. I get a cup of coffee and I walk thirty feet to work.

Well, it’s not really work.

If you can find what you love doing, and make money

doing it, you will never work another day in your life. So

true. I love what I do and I can’t get enough of it.

I do what I want, when I want. I don’t fight traffic any

more. I don’t have to deal with all of the stressed out

drivers riding my bumper. I take time off when I want. I

work as long as I want. I go to the movies in the middle of

the day if I want. I take as long of a lunch as I want. I

enjoy what I do. I’m out of the grind and I don’t have a

boss putting any stress on me.

9

I have this feeling you are looking for the same things in

life if you’re reading this.

If you can learn how to follow specific steps, you can

earn a great income and have the kind of life you want.

You hold your own success in your own hands and you

have a great opportunity right here.

I can tell you one of my secrets to success right now. If

you don’t keep swinging the bat, you will never give

yourself a chance to hit that homerun. You must pick up

the bat and swing it, just like the ball players.

You must go to batting practice and you must play the

game. You will strike out many times, just like the ball

players do, and you will hit a homerun every now and

then, but you can’t hit that homerun unless you are in

the game swinging that bat.

Give yourself a chance at success. Pick up that bat and

start swinging. Start playing the game. Don’t give up

when you strike out. The best ball players in the world

strike out more than 60 percent of the time at bat. You

have to get up to the plate and if you strike out, you get

back up to bat again.

10

Just keep swinging. That’s the best advice I can offer you.

Grind it out. You wouldn’t quit running a marathon race

two miles away from the finish line, if you trained all year

long just to run that one race.

Grind it out to the finish line! Keep running races. Sooner

or later, you’re going to win that big race and the victory

will be so worth your effort.

Blogging Is A Business

Even though I will jump up and down with excitement

about this blogging business, and tell you all day long

that this is the greatest business in the world, I’m not

going to kid you about the blogging business. There is a

lot more to blogging than what you get in my free basic

eBook here, and I think it’s fair to forewarn you ... it’s not going to be a complete cake walk getting started, even

with the intensive coaching program on Blogchise.com

and with the incredible blogging tools and all of the

exciting avenues created to help make your blogging life

much easier than you’ll ever be able to imagine.

There are no “easy buttons” in life. I wasted years and

thousands of dollars learning that lesson the hard way.

There are no easy buttons, but you can make money in

this business if you can develop that unstoppable,

perseverance attitude ... AND ... follow directions.

I offer this free bloggers eBook for several reasons, but

the following is an important reason I want you to be

aware of. Most people, who get this free eBook, want to

learn about what it takes to be a blogger. Most of them

never take advantage of blogging. Blogging is not for

everyone. I think it’s fair and honest to let you know that

12

bit of information right up front. This eBook is created

partly to help you save money and time getting set up in

a way that keeps you from wasting a lot of time going

down dead-end roads like I did. I’m going to save you a

ton of time and money getting any blog or website set

up.

I’m going to hype up blogging, but I’m also going to tell

you the truth. Obviously, I’m excited about blogging and

I’m excited for anyone who has the passion to get into

blogging. But, you need to know the truth, and right up

front.

Blogging for income is work in the beginning. It’s a

business, and you will have to treat it like a business. But,

don’t let that discourage you, because, if you love this

business, and you love what you do, it won’t feel like

work at all. You will feel that same excitement I feel

about getting into my home office every day.

I created this basic eBook partly to help you figure out if

you really want to blog for income, partly to make money

myself, and partly to help you make money. I want you

to know exactly what blogging for money is all about and

what you can expect. I want you to know exactly how

this blogging game is played.

13

If I only tried to manipulate you into investing your time

and money in a blogging business, with all of the fast talk

about how easy it is, and 1, 2, 3, you’re good to go, you

would probably be upset with me and you would quit

part way into this program. Getting started and then

quitting would not be beneficial for you or me. I wouldn’t

want you to start a business unless you knew full well

what you were getting into.

Blogging is a business and it takes a lot of work in the

beginning getting set up. Also, like any business, you will

have to continually operate it to make money. You get

out of this business what you put into it, and the same

with any business.

If you eventually decide to get into blogging for income,

you absolutely have to come into this business with a

realistic attitude, and not expect it to happen overnight.

You will be setting yourself up for failure if you expect

the money to pile up overnight. Perseverance is the main

key to being a successful blogger.

You have the potential to make as much money or more

as any pilot, doctor, lawyer or engineer within a year or

two if you are smart about this process.

14

Your blogging success will be based on your wise choices

once you learn the secrets to blogging. It’s all about your

choices while going through the process. I could tell you

all the secrets and give you everything on a silver platter,

but you still need to make the right choices along the

way.

If you are still serious about blogging for income after

you make it through this basic eBook, you can get one of

the best, in-depth coaching programs for bloggers on the

Internet from blogchise.com, along with one of the

easiest ways to start and monetize your blog.

I am also going to tell you about some cool blogging

products and services in here to make your blogging life

much, much easier. If you get into blogging, you will need

these products and services if you want to earn money.

There will be no way around it. These blogging products

and services are the best you will find anywhere, and

they will be your bread and butter when you get into this

business. That brings me to the really cool part ... you will

make money from those blogging products and services

and also from this free eBook, if you decide to get into

blogging. That’s the exciting part of you getting this

particular free eBook. You will understand more about

15

what I mean by that as you go through reading this

eBook.

It’s all about to become crystal clear.

Before I get into telling you about the cool blogging

secrets, I want to tell you some things that will make a lot

of sense.

Developing a new mindset will help you hang in there for

the duration while you become a successful blogger.

Better things will happen in your life when you can learn

to grind it out to the finish line.

Let’s think of things like this: if you go to college for four long years and you pay all of that money to get a degree,

if you are lucky, you will probably get a job making

around $35,000 per year. If you are really lucky, you will

get a job earning slightly more, depending on your

degree and who hires you.

If you get a job working for “the man”, you will need to

do exactly what “the man” tells you to do. That means,

you will be doing things every day that the boss will be telling you exactly how the company wants it done, and

you might not like what you do.

16

Your job will be W-O-R-K, work. You will be working at

least 8 hours per day, and probably more if you are on

salary, especially in this day and age with many corporate

big dogs taking advantage of people more and more. You

will be fighting traffic every day, twice a day. You will

probably work under constant pressure and stress. But

the bottom line is, you will be working under the

direction of some stranger (boss) who will be telling you

exactly what to do, with every task you do. Let me

reiterate that ... with every task you do, you will be

following someone ELSE’S orders. That means you will

be following directions and learning all kinds of new

things to do, for more than 8 hours per day. Did you

catch that last sentence? You will be learning new things all the time, which leads me to the next bit of

information.

So, for 8 hours per day, if you are forced to constantly

take orders and follow directions, and learn new things all the time, why not get into blogging about your

passion for the potential of making more money than

any degreed position will ever pay you? You will be going

through all of the same process of learning new things

and constantly following directions until you learn your

entire job, but the only difference is that you give

17

yourself that opportunity to earn a lot more money, and

you get to be your own boss!

If you get a job working for “the man”, you might not

even like your job, and you might have to keep that job

just to support your family, or the lifestyle you’ve

imprisoned yourself in.

You could be your own boss and do the same amount of

work, and give yourself a chance to earn more money than any professional job would pay. You have that

opportunity right now in the safety and comfort of your

own home, or in some coffee shop, or anywhere you

want. You could even travel the world and still operate

your business like many bloggers do, and have fun.

I guess the big question is do you want some boss telling

you how to do things all day long, or do you want to be

your own boss running through basically the same

processes of learning new things?

Businesses fail, because they don’t follow a blueprint for

success. Businesses also succeed, because they follow a

blueprint for success. Bloggers succeed, because they

follow a blueprint for success, and they also fail because

they don’t follow a blueprint.

18

If you blog for a living, you will be doing something that

you may or may not like, but you will be your own boss.

If you can put in the same amount of time an energy

blogging, as you would on some other job, you could

potentially make double the income of any degreed

position, and also be your own boss.

You have an opportunity here, that can be financially

rewarding if you are willing to take the risk of putting in

the hard work for about a year. Nothing is easy in this

world. Don’t kid yourself. If you’re looking for an easy

button, stop reading, go buy lottery tickets and pray that

you will win. Pray a lot.

You can wake up in a year from now in the same boat by

not taking action, or you can start taking action today and give yourself that chance of being your own man, or

woman, making a lot more money.

If you know anything about the blogging industry, you

probably already know that people all over the world are

earning healthy, six figure incomes blogging. Why do

they make so much money and why do so many people

fail at blogging? The people who fail at blogging are the

ones who either give up too soon, or they don’t follow

19

the exact steps that the successful bloggers are

following, or both. They get started on the wrong foot

and they waste a lot of time going down the wrong road

at first. You could waste six months to a year going down

the wrong road, but I’m going to help you avoid wasting

time and money and get your to where you need to be

quicker.

If you can follow simple steps and adopt a perseverance

philosophy in your life, you can be successful and enjoy

the fruits of having your own business.

Don’t waste your time trying to re-invent the wheel.

Don’t think you have some great idea that will make you

a ton of money.. Just do what the successful people are

already doing and you will be successful.

If McDonald’s offered you a franchise opportunity for

next to nothing, would you build their restaurant on a

corner of your choice and turn it into a pizza parlor with a

bar? You would be an idiot to do such a thing, and the

McDonald’s corporation would not let that happen

either. But, that’s what people do when they get handed

an opportunity. They don’t follow the directions.

20

If you want to be a successful blogger, you will need to

do exactly what other successful blogge
