I hope by now you know something about my philosophy of sharing. If not, please see my main Web site Background page as well as the Introduction page on this blog. I believe I have a kindred spirit in a fellow blogger.
Although I never met Caroline Middlebrook personally, I receive her newsletters and updates. I comment occasionally on her blog. She is down to earth and talks at a level one can readily understand. Caroline began her blogging career in 2007. And as far as I am concerned she talks the talk, and walks the walk. Her traffic rankings prove it!
Caroline gives away information in much the same fashion as I do and is an astute business person. She even discloses her monthly income from her online business.
Middlebrook wrote an e-book covering everything from affiliate marketing through video marketing. Included is what to and what not to write about, driving traffic, adding audio and video, link building, social media, etc., just about everything you need to know about monetizing a blog.
This excellent book about blogging is called the Blogger’s Bible. I subscribed to her 49 lesson free course, which took almost a year to receive, download, save and read. I’ve read almost all of it (I did mis a chapter) and do a lot of the things she talks about. Although I do NOT agree with everything she suggests.
Middlebrook covers everything I could teach you from soup to nuts, plus things I do not get involved with but are certainly there for your choosing. You can either do the 49 weeks of e-mails or going to her The Bloggers Bible site for more details.
She has a free guide to WordPress entitled Build Niche Sites with WordPress which I recommend you download and start reading.
You should also sign up for her free Newsletters. I have not taken the free lessons she offers in her course.
