Blogging To The Bank Review - Is It Worth It?
Blogging to the Bank. If you haven’t heard about it and you’re even a little bit serious about making money online, Blogging to the Bank is for you.
For starters on the blogging ebook, check out Rob Benwell’s product page, Blogging to the Bank.
Basically, Rob has made over a million dollars online, from his blogs. Very few people can claim to have reached that goal. In fact, the most successful bloggers I know might make $200K or so, but not $1M.
Ultimately though, money was the reason I got into blogging. One day, I chanced upon this PDF on how to become a professional blogger. Then, it was an unheard of thing. (This was probably 5 years ago). And decided to give it a try.
The thing about Rob’s Blogging to the Bank is that he uses blogs as ‘revenue generating platforms’ rather than ’self expression engines’ or anything like that. He builds blogs to make money – plain and simple. And that’s what Blogging to the Bank is all about.
Blogging To The Bank Review – What To Expect
Here’s basically what Blogging to the Bank covers:
- Research the web using keyword tools, Google and Clickbank
- Grab a domain name, hosting and set up a WordPress blog
- Optimize your blog for both humans and search engines
- Monetize by installing key plug-ins and proper configuration
- Write or outsource content, or use plr articles
- Link building, SEO and Web 2.0 techniques
- Sell affiliate products from clickbank
- Sell advertising from your blog and use Google AdSense
- Then do it all over again from step 1 with a new blog
For me, I use this method and recommend it whole-hearedly. the difference is that I outsource all of it. Well, almost all of it. I do the niche selection and affiliate stuff. Simply because those are the two ‘money’ areas and can’t be screwed up!
Eventually, it’ll be outsourced though!
Blogging To The Bank Review – Who Should Buy This Book
This book is for one group of people specifically – those looking to make money online. If you’ve spent any time building up a personal brand or anything through a blog – don’t buy Blogging to the Bank. It’s a good book, but will confuse you as to what you’re trying to do online.
The successes that I’ve had – I’ve been focused on them. Blogging to the Bank is considered a ’shiny object.’ If you’re truly just starting out or you’re looking for a way to make some serious money online – this ebook is for you. But if you’re trying to build a brand, don’t invest in it. The two motives are way different from each other.
My Blogging To The Bank Bonus!
Listen, lots of times, these sorts of tutorial/how-to ebooks like Blogging to the Bank can be difficult to implement because of terminology or best practices.
Personally, when I sell stuff like this I try to give some coaching or a webinar that will help buyers take action… Rob didn’t do that – probably because he sells a couple hundred copies a day…
What I want to do, as my own personal Blogging to the Bank Bonus, is hold a free webinar that will walk you through the Blogging to the Bank, start to finish. I’m talking about actually getting one of these sites up and running, from choosing a domain to installing WordPress to picking affiliate offers.
Normally, I’d charge $197 for this sort of thing – a drop in the bucket compared to how much one of these sites makes over the course of it’s life… It’ll be yours free!
So, what I’ll do is send you an email after you purchase Blogging to the Bank (I can track that sort of thing) through one of the links in this post telling you the time and place.
For the people who have already bought the ebook through my link – I’ve got you covered. You’ll be included in the free webinar!
Blogging To The Bank – The Verdict
I like Rob’s system. It makes sense to me. But the only reason I do both the personal branding thing on my other sites and build niche oriented, affiliate blogs (aka the Blogging to the Bank system) is because I have a team of people who do it for me.
I like being into a lot of different things and experiencing lots of success in markets that I’m interested in. Plus, it gives me a chance to connect with people I wouldn’t have access to otherwise (ie. product owners). That, for me, is cool.
Like I said, if you’re interested in making money online, Blogging to the Bank is definitely a step in the right direction. It’ll take time to pull in your first few dollars, but give it a month or so. It’ll happen.
Blogging To The Bank Review - Is It Worth It?
Recently, I’ve been getting a lot of questions on one of my niche sites about, “How to get my book published.”
Ever since the economic slowdown, publishing houses are less likely to do book deals because no one is buying them! So self publishing is the only option.
Anyway, one cool service that a lot of smart authors are using right now is iUniverse. To put it simply, iUniverse is a publishing house that’ll self publish books and all sorts of other things.
The site allows you to upload your content whether it be audio, video, text, pictures, or whatever and will publish them in a format that people can buy. Depending on the package, you can get bar codes and everything else.
One thing I particularly like about iUniverse’s self publishing service is that shoppers can buy your book or photo album or DVD on your own little shopping cart that iUniverse sets up for you. You don’t need to know ANY coding whatsoever. After the purchase goes through, iUniverse takes care of all the shipping and everything!
Another cool thing is they even offer digital goods. The reason I say that the smart marketers are using it (or smart ‘make money online’ people) is because iUniverse is so easy to use. The first eBook that I actually published and made money with was published through iUniverse.com
So yeah, I actually did this research years ago… I was wondering how to get my book published and I stumbled on the site…
After I self published my first book, they sent it to Amazon and some of the other information product retailers and within just a couple months I was making about $1,500 a month from it. It was just a simple 56 page long eBook!
One word of caution though… Make sure to check the formatting of your book when you upload it. Sometimes it screws up margins and page spacing and stuff. They might have fixed it by now, but just watch out!
Just a thought: The service makes it dead simple to get started and if you have a blog or some sort of content that you’ve been writing, then it’s relatively easy to put it all together to upload it.
Get My Book Published…
Just put a Word document together and upload it to the free account. If you’re looking to actually get your stuff in Barnes and Noble or Amazon, you’ll have to buy an upgraded package that give you an ISBN number. It will send your actual physical book to Barnes & Noble, Amazon and Borders — the retailer bookstores which is awesome!
I don’t know of a better feeling then walking into Barnes & Noble and seeing a copy of your book sitting on the shelf. Whether people are buying it or not, it doesn’t matter. It would still be very cool to know that you were published and that people could buy your stuff in a book store.
So if you’ve ever wondered how to ‘get my book published‘ make sure you check out iUniverse.com. They’ve even got a free report that’ll get you started.

How crazy is this? I had heard for years that Google was buying up all the ‘dark fiber’ in the country so that it could pipe Internet to residential areas… But gigabit speeds? That’s awesome.
Could Google be your next ISP? Maybe. The company has just announced a trial of its own high-speed network that it plans to offer to “at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people.”
Google says it will be capable of delivering speeds more than 100x faster than typical U.S. Internet connections with up to one gigabit per second. It will do so at a “competitive” price.

When I first got into building businesses and websites online, I had no idea where to start… I didn’t know the first thing about ‘Virtual Property.’ I had to teach myself everything… Thank God I found WordPress when I did!
Naturally, the thing that sparks most people’s interest about starting an online venture is the idea of making a few bucks online. So naturally, I started looking!
After fiddling around with Adsense and certain CPA ads, I decided to try my hand at something a little different: website flipping.
Website flipping is a bit like house flipping, only it’s with virtual property (aka websites).
By now, you’re thinking that I’m going to drag this out and tell you some long, stupid story about how I made lots and lots of money by doing something as easy as tying my shoes… But I’m not.
Instead, I’m going to introduce a friend of mine who does make a living flipping websites. His name is Ryan Moran (@ryanmoran).
Ryan is a smart cat. In fact, he’s one of the few I still like to learn tips and techniques from.
You see – you’ve been told that you need to build websites, choose niches, and do all the hard work to get websites and businesses started, but I want you to watch as Ryan proves that you can skip all of those steps and have instantly profitable campaigns…
Check out this video:
In the video you’ll see how you can skip all of the hard steps that monopolize your time and keep you stuck.
No need to opt into anything, just fire this up and the video will start playing automatically:

P.S. Ryan is holding a webinar in a few days where he’ll be teaching exactly how he skips all the hard steps and still rakes in the dough. And for every person that registers for the webinar, $1 is being donated to the Haiti Relief Effort. Do yourself and the people of Haiti a favor by registering for the virtual property webinar after you watch this video:
I just wanted to put up a quick post asking if anyone wanted a Google Wave Invite. I’ve been playing around with it for the last few days and am pretty impressed, but I was wondering if anyone else wanted to join in the fun?
In case you haven’t heard of Google Wave, here’s a brief description:
Google Wave is an online communication and collaboration tool that makes real-time interactions more seamless — in one place, you can communicate and collaborate using richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more.
A wave is a conversation with multiple participants — participants are people added to a wave to discuss and collaborate on its content. Participants can reply any time and anywhere within a wave, and they can edit content and add more participants as a wave develops. It’s also possible to rewind waves with the playback functionality, to see what happened, and when.
All you have to do is leave a comment and I’ll send the invite to the email address you enter for the comment. I think I have six invites left, so the first 6 get them!
– Jason
** I’m trying to get my hands on some more! Stay tuned. As you can see the comments filled up quick :0)

Don’t get me wrong – I love Freshbooks.com. But, I always have an internal argument whenever I sign up for a web app because I never really know where the data is!
That data, if you run an online business, is your absolute most valuable asset.
The other day, I found a free, online invoice system that I wanted to share with you. It’s an open source web application meant to help manage and create invoices in a simple, straightforward way.
The invoice system really is nice. As of right now, it doesn’t integrate with Paypal, so it won’t let you send one-click-and-pay invoices to your clients, but hopefully a developer will get it straightened out soon!
