I’m not going to claim to be a blogging pro, I’m an internet marketer and I use blogs as just one part of my business to make money online.

I use them for two reasons, first they’re so simple to set up and run, and second they are very effective.

I’ve set up this blog to share what I have learnt so far about running a successful blog, as well as what I learn in the future.

I’m going to start with the basic stuff, so if you’re already up and running with your blog then you may want to come back again in a couple of weeks once I’ve gone through all the beginner stuff.

Wherever possible I use videos to show you how to do the different things necessary to get up and running and optimize your blog, as it tends to be a lot quicker and easier to follow a video where you see me demonstrating what you need to do, rather than having to follow long winded text instructions.

I also keep the videos to 4 minutes or less to make sure they’re not “information overload”.

Note: I will not be posting any info about using free hosted blogs with services like blogger.com because of the possibility of losing your blog with one of these sites.

If you use a service like this then you don’t actually own the blog and if anyone makes a complaint about your blog for any reason, even a jealous competitor or just someone who disagrees with something you’ve written, the blog can be shut down without you having any say in it.

This means that all the hard work, time and effort you’ve put in to your blog can disappear in a moment and there will be nothing you can do about it.

that is a situation that I personally could not be happy with, so I cannot recommend it.

the stuff I post here will all be based on hosting a WordPress blog on your own domain, so that you are in complete control of your site.

I also stick with WordPress as it is by far the most popular blogging platform, which means there are more free and paid tools, resources, plugins and themes available for it than any other system, giving you the most possible options and therefore the best chance of long term success.
