The Roadmap To Become A Blogger

written by John Chow on December 1, 2008

Make Money!

Yaro Starak and Gideon Shalwick from BecomeABlogger.com have finally released their highly anticipated new report. It’s called “The Roadmap To Become A Blogger” or simply “The Roadmap.”

If you’re new to blogging and still trying to figure out what exactly you’re supposed to be doing with your blog, this Roadmap will put you on the right track. The Roadmap report covers two key concepts:

  1. The step-by-step “formula” that Yaro Starak used to create his amazingly successful blog.
  2. Thirteen X-Factor strategies that you can implement immediately to put your blog into superdrive.

Teaming up with Gideon Shalwick, Yaro’s been able to leverage his knowledge with Gideon’s clear and easy-to-follow presentation skills, and knowledge of social media and upcoming online trends. I have read the Roadmap and I can tell you it’s well worth the read. Best of all, it’s free so there’s no reason not to download it.

I downloaded it,thanks!

This is nice, yet there is no one "road map" to become a blogger. Each person has their own methods to become a successful blogger. Since everyone writes differently, everyone has their own ways to be successful.

wow..already download it and it is worth reading

Yaro is good and the book appears to be worth downloadin - shall check it out anyway - thanks dude

Good information. Thanks!

Downloaded the book but still haven't read it. Probably gonna make a good bed time story.

Thanks for the report, but as one said above I am also doubt yaro and john is only going to make $$$.

ehm..i think, its depend on some individual. If some of you want to be a full time blogger, that person need to work a lots to gain respect and earn enough money always.

There are just too much information to take in on this blogging business. It seems that there is more and more blogger, may be in a short period of time, the answer to the question "what is you career?", there probably be an option : Blogger.

Nothing in this road map is Earth-shatteringly-new, but somewhat useful as a refresher nevertheless; feels like it's rehashing a lot of the same stuff I've been seeing on the web in the last few years. Good work nevertheless.

wow even yaro is here. Great tips, thanks for sharing it with us. A great help for the nobbies

Looks good! Yaro is a good guy and really knows his stuff!

subscribed hopefully its good

i doubt anyone will make some $$$ except Yaro, John and Gideon.

Sounds like this is coming from someone who is hardly making any money. Such a downer.

ever heard of something called affiliate marketing?

wow great stuff, have it downloaded and starting to read

Looks like a good tutorial. Gonna follow it.

Let's see here you create a free report with useful information, capture names and email addresses when people download the report and then promote your paid and or affiliate products to those people. Sounds like list building 101 to me, I was taught that was one of the basic principles of IM, sooooooo...what's the problem. Anyway, kudos to Yaro and Gideon for putting the info on blast for those of us who appreciate the help.

You should read it before you call it "useful". Half the asskisses who posted about it being "useful" have not and will not ever read it.

Now that John Chow & ProBlogger are promoting this, I'm sure we will see many others promoting it over the next few days.
I'd love to see Yaro state who produced the most paid sign-ups in a months time.
Would make for great reading in another report...

mm. Looks like a good tutorial. Gonna follow it. Thanks man.

How to be a blogger - Write about something you're passionate about every day.

Does it have to be every day...

Hi John

Thanks for the mention of The Roadmap. Yaro and I put in a lot of effort to make the report as useful and practical as we could.

I really hope that it will help a lot of new and perhaps existing bloggers out there!

Talk soon!

rather than saying
"I really hope that it will help a lot of new and perhaps existing bloggers out there!"
dont you mean
I really hope that that these bloggers will sign up for the paid service so I can make lots of cash?

Hi X-Factor Blog

Thanks for your comment.

There's no requirement that people sign up for the paid service. But of course, there will be more advanced information inside the membership site for those who are interested in taking things to the next level.

I like you're blog by the way :)

Gideon Shalwick

Hi Gideon,
Thanks for the kind words on the blog, It's only 2 months old & has had almost 250,000 pageviews in the last month, it's seasonal traffic as the show only goes on for 3 months, but I am pretty happy...
I know I can double that for next years show & maybe your report will help...
I was really just commenting on the upsell nature of this post without it being mentioned anywhere...

Hi X-Factor Blog

WOW! 250,000 page views in a month ROCK!

You're obviously doing something right to get that number of views.

Well done!

Gideon Shalwick

John, I was wondering why you were using affiliate links to promote this free product but now realise that it is an upsell product so you make your money from anyone that signs up under you but converts to the paid product in a few days...
clever or evil???

I'm stuck on clever...

Looks like it's worth downloading. I'm going to read it when I have the time.

Thanks John! Will download the information and also pass it on to others that are just jumping on the blogging bandwagon.

The roadmap looks pretty promising. I remember seeing it listed somewhere the other day. I am going to download it and see what it's all about.

awesome stuff....

This is a great report for new and even seasoned bloggers.

Yaros ebooks are great, just downloaded it, and I can't wait to read it.

There was only one type on it. Thats a feat in itself.

Thanks Jonh! Looks interesting, I m going to check it out first!

Looks like some great material I'll have to cover in the next few days. Regards.

Yaro was the first blog I ever read, and he does an amazing job! I'm sure this new venture is going to be a great success!

Thanks for the mention John. I hope those that take the time to read the Roadmap benefit from it and more importantly, start playing around with some of the X-Factor techniques.

Yaro

Thanks Yaro for the release, already downloaded it and started reading it :)

Yaro,
I'm sorry to harp on about this, see comment below to Gideon...

"Thanks for the mention John" - shouldn't you be more open and thank John for promoting, not mentioning the product?

and as for saying "and more importantly, start playing around with some of the X-Factor techniques."

don't you really want to say, I hope you sign up to the paid product due to be announced in a few days now that we have your email address to promote it to...

Internet marketing like this while clever is what gives internet marketers a bad name.

Are you serious about the way he thanked John? What a petty thing to pick apart.

Dude stop over-analyzing.

"Internet marketing like this while clever is what gives internet marketers a bad name."

This isn't "internet marketing", this is just marketing. The practice of building a list and then selling products to that list isn't some new concept nor does it give anyone a "bad name". It's just a very common and reliable form of marketing.
