Six figure Blogger David Risley gives us Great Insight into becoming successful at Blogging.

Innovative Social Media

This morning I listened to David Risley’s podcast of his Six Figure Blogger Blueprint, which I really enjoyed.

You can pick up a copy of the .PDF and Mp3 by signing up for David’s Newsletter.

The main thing I took away from the Six Figure Blogger Blueprint was that most bloggers suck at marketing, and that is why most fail at becoming a successful blogger.

Risley lays it on the line in this podcast and explains that to make money as a blogger you have to think of blogging as a business.

Below are the 25 most important points that I took away from the Blueprint:

1. Sell your own products.

2. Don’t put all of your eggs in one basket, i.e. don’t just rely on ads for monetization.

3. Be an Internet Publisher, not just a blogger.  Publishers make money.

4. Risley makes $15,000 x $20,000 a month, sometimes more.

5. A blog builds attention and generates leads (email subscribers).

6. Once leads are generated give them great free value and don’t be afraid to sell to them.

7. Leverage the social web (Your blog is the hub, social media, youtube, etc, are the spokes.)

8. Sell to those with fears or desire.

9. Talk about what you know, and what people care about

10. Create an ideas file for ideas of new blog posts.

11.  Whatever you market focus on your benefits.

12.  Market to emotions, but provide solid reasons for purchasing people can use to justify the expense.

13.  People want to be: Rich, Thin, and Beautiful, so target your marketing at these desires.

14.  Over half of Risley’s annual income comes leveraging from his email list.

15.  Send cool non-blog (exclusive) free stuff to your list to make your leads feel special.

16.  Use Tube Mogul and distribute videos to all channels.

17.  Get the All in one SEO plugin for WordPress.

18.  Google Adsense = The Blogger Welfare Program.

19.  Affiliate Marketing is a great way to make cash if you don’t have your own products (or even if you do).

20.  Get the Max Blog Press Ninja Affiliate WordPress Plugin.

21.  Aweber has a great Affiliate Program with monthly payouts.

22.  Set up an Affiliate Program.

23.  Google Sitemaps Plugin.

24.  Develop Pillar content, and submit it to aggregators like Ezine Articles.

25.  Create backup content so you always have fresh stuff on the blog to keep people coming back.

Another notable point is that the only Blogger David Risley references in this Blueprint is another one of my favorite bloggers, Yaro Starak.  Yaro is the chief Blogger over and owner of Entrepreneurs Journey and the author of the Blog Profits Blueprint…but that’s another post.
