The Blog Masters Club: My Slightly Biased Review
Disclosure: The title of this post is “my slightly biased review”. Just being honest. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dave for the past year, and I can happily say he’s a friend of mine. So if that makes me biased, so be it. But no one is twisting my arm to write this review, and I don’t recommend anything on this blog that I haven’t tried myself and liked.
Straight-up: you want to see a David Risley success story? You’re looking at one.
At the beginning of 2008, I was working at a job I hated and wanting to make some sort of transition out of it. I had been following Dave’s blog and I could relate to a lot of the things he was saying about lifestyle design and job security.
I started following him on Twitter. When he said he needed a virtual assistant, I volunteered myself, and the rest is history.
But more than the opportunity to make some money by being a virtual assistant, I was pretty excited at the opportunity to get a glimpse into what Dave does for a living (since I aspired to do it myself). And over the past year, that’s exactly what’s happened.
At times, Dave was the only person encouraging me to push on with VAforBloggers.com because I had a unique market. He helped me see my own potential. And simply put, through having access to awesome programs like 3 Day Money and the Blog Masters Club, I’ve been able to grow my blog, grow my business, and step everything up a notch. And the revenue has followed.
So, let’s talk about Dave.
I think it’s just as important to talk about Dave here as it is to talk about what the Blog Masters Club has to offer. I mean – he’s going to be coaching you. So don’t you want to know the type of guy he is?
Well, he’s an Internet marketer. In the truest sense of the word. His mind is always twisting and turning and the creative energy is pretty much always spilling out of him. He’s a smart business man. He has demonstrated blog success (and not necessarily in the make money online market either, as he’s successfully made the hard-to-monetize tech market a six-figure business over at PCMech.com). He’s an iron-clad leader in the blogging and Internet marketing industries. He knows his stuff.
But, he’s also this guy (he’s going to be thrilled I included this picture).
He’s a guy you can walk right up to and talk with. A guy who lets me take an embarrassing photo of him over lunch at BlogWorld and post it to Twitter with some silly comment about “how many probloggers does it take to open an Apple box”. He’s a guy who’s driven by the same things you are: family, the need/want to create a comfortable lifestyle, etc. He’s just…a guy. A guy who’s had a ton of success and wants to share the know-how with you.
Now let’s get into the Blog Masters Club nitty-gritty.
I love this course. If I could marry this course, I would. Here are the top 5 reasons why I love it:
- You can come into this course without having a blog, and leave it knowing exactly how to make your newly created blog successful. It takes you from A to Z.
- No matter how you learn, the material is presented in an easy-to-digest way for you. Every module has videos, transcripts (done by yours truly, thank you very much), and MP3s. You’re covered.
- No stone has been left unturned. Dave has seriously covered every topic that pertains to having a successful blogging business. Period. You don’t need to buy any other course to get supplemental knowledge (if you don’t want to, that is).
- You immediately become a part of this awesome community. One of the biggest assets of this course is the ability to network and get help from other people on your level. It’s team-building. I love it.
- You get personal access to Dave. Dave is active in the Blog Masters Club forums, and he holds webinars for students. He’s going to go out of his way to get your questions answered.
And look at these 16 modules. Here’s the broad overview of what’s covered:
- Module 1: Problogger Orientation (My favorite video of the course is in this module, believe it or not. Module 1.4. You’ll see why when you get into the course. It’s life-changing.)
- Module 2: Market Selection
- Module 3: Optimizing Your Blog
- Module 4: Secrets of Effective and Compelling Blogging
- Module 5: Social Media Strategy
- Module 6: Traffic Building
- Module 7: SEO
- Module 8: Video Production
- Module 9: Blog Monetization Strategies
- Module 10: Product Creation & Sales
- Module 11: List Building
- Module 12: Membership Sites
- Module 13: Marketing & Persuasion
- Module 14: Maximizing Profits
- Module 15: The Power of Others
- Module 16: Automation & Outsourcing
See something that’s missing there? Because I sure don’t.
And in addition to all those modules, you’re getting:
- Action Guides for all the modules. Dave helps you take the baby steps and digest all the information.
- Access to a members-only forum. Get help and give help from fellow members.
- Live group coaching calls. The calls are recorded and transcribed for future reference.
- A behind-the-scenes swipe file. Dave is literally handing you the emails he sends to his list to get action, plus all kinds of other demonstrated-to-work materials he’s actually used.
- A rolodex of resources. All kinds of resources and stuff, all in one place.
Look, to me, it’s a no-brainer. It’s a great price for a huge amount of information from a proven expert in the industry.
Get in on the Blog Masters Club.
FYI: the doors are only open until Tuesday, February 2nd. So you can’t say I didn’t warn you!
