Kangaroos can save you money. (Really!)
August 5, 2008
Yaro just informed me that his Blog Mastermind coaching program charges in Australian dollars.
Most online coaching programs charge in American dollars, and since the US dollar is anywhere from 5% to 10% stronger than the Aussie dollar as I write this, that’s a 5% to 10% price saving for
you if you join Blog Mastermind.
You can sign-up here: Blog Mastermind
By now you probably know about Blog Mastermind. Thanks to the Conversion Blogging video, the Blog Profits Blueprint and the interview with a million dollar blogger, Yaro’s blog coaching program opening built up a lot of buzz last week.
If you haven’t seen any of the videos, or read the Blueprint or listened to the million dollar blogger interview, you can start right now (it
won’t cost anything) by going here.
Already over 300 people have joined and are busy studying the materials, interacting in the community forums and using the Social Traffic Club to drive traffic to their blogs.
Yaro explained to me that he wanted to charge in $USD, but his Australian bank would not accept the currency, and since it was so close to the opening of his program, he decided to just go with $AUD.
In case you don’t know, Yaro is from Australia, though he sounds a lot like a Canadian sometimes because of his parents.
He did say that his bank would change in the near future, and as soon as $USD is accepted he would switch back.
If you want to lock in the discount by paying in Australian dollars, you should join Blog Mastermind as soon as you can. Here’s the order
page: Blog Mastermind
Blog Mastermind is not just a course where you are left on your own to go through the training by yourself. It’s a real community, led by mentors
who are successful bloggers, including Yaro himself.
If you are still not sure, but because of the cheaper price you are interested, you should head to Google and type in “Blog Mastermind Reviews” and see what other people are saying about the program.
500 people have participated in the course since it’s first run back in 2007 (it was closed since December 07), so there is plenty of feedback online coming from completely impartial people who have already taken the course.
It’s a smart idea to do research before joining any program, and I think in this case you will find the general consensus is that Blog Mastermind is well worth the cost of admission, especially when it is in Australian dollars.
Here’s the link for more information (and make sure you watch the behind the scenes tour video Yaro presents at the start of the page):
Blog Mastermind
Good luck with your blog!
PS. The US Dollar, as you probably realize, is not doing so well lately. There’s a possibility that the Australian dollar will get stronger, so the discount if you are used to paying in US dollars, will not be a discount any more - instead it will be more expensive.
I suggest if you have any inclination to join Yaro’s coaching program that you do so soon so you can lock in the discounted price thanks to the currency difference.

Skype Prime announced major improvements
August 2, 2008
2 Days ago, Skype announced some major improvements to their Skype Prime service. To explain what the service is, I will simply say that it’s a service that will enable you to charge for voice consulting calls. The way it works, someone will call you, for a service that you have experiance in, they will pay you on a minute based (you set the price) and you get paid through PayPal, and that’s all.
The changes are made to the directory where your services will be listed. Now they have an all new advice and services directory, it’s now fully searchable so it’s easy for customers to find you.
A new rating system, the higher your customers rate you, the higher you will appear in any search results.
They also advertise for it more now so you will start getting more calls.
To start listing your services go here, download Skype and install it (Skip this step if you already have Skype), when you’re online, go to the account menu, click on Skype Prime and follow the easy steps to setup your services. Good luck
ALL NEW: Paypal button factory
August 1, 2008
My good friend Damon Williams (one of the top developers at PayPal) have just announced the new PayPal button factory.
For those of you who don’t know what PayPal is, (I have a couple of videos and a couple of posts coming up soon) PayPal simply is a safe fast way to accept money online.
Before I go any further, I have to say that as I am writing this, this new improvement is only available to developers and will be available soon at PayPal.com, however, since I am a certified PayPal developer, I took a look at the new very useful enhancements on the new button factory, and I like it a lot (specially the first 2), here are the new option from Damon’s blog post:
- Multiple drop-down options per button (e.g., Size,
Color, etc), and we’ve removed the limit of having just two optional fields
- The ability to set price by options (e.g., $8 for
medium t-shirts and $10 for large)- Inventory tracking and management capability
- Simple button customization (e.g., add credit card
logos, make a smaller size, etc.)- The ability to track profits and margins by products
- Save commonly created buttons
- Easy-to-use encryption
- And much more…
I hope all of my fellow nerds like it.

The idea is simple, they will help you throughout the month of August (30 days!) to make your first $10 online without having to spent anything upfront. (Kind of the same idea I have planned for my own upcoming school).
So I am spreading the word out for this years challenge starting tonight at 8pm EST.
All you have to do is to go to www.thirtydaychallenge.com and signup then watch some videos.
I will go through more details about the 30 day challenge and also my online school within the next 30 days!

This is CRAZY: I think you need help with your blog!
July 29, 2008
I know I said that my last post was the last push for the new Blog Mastermind program, but I just heard that 70 spots were taking already and there is only 30 spots left for the first 100 signups bonuses!
I expect you have seen what Yaro Starak released during the previous week.
The videos and interview with a million dollar blogger he published to help us all become better bloggers really impressed a lot of people (including me).
Today is your chance to become the next blogging success story and Yaro is willing to help you get there.
His private coaching program has just opened to take on new students. You can
join here ![]()
The program, called Blog Mastermind, is comprehensive and includes (Here is th real good stuff):
- A step-by-step coaching course delivered in weekly lessons in text and audio format.
- Private members-only forum community and access to regular live training calls with Yaro (you can ask him anything you want about your blog).
- Video case studies of blogs and a ten-part series of audios
from Yaro covering the core aspects about what it takes to earn big dollars from a blog.
- Access to the social traffic club, a special community of members who help each other drive traffic to their blogs from social media sites.
- 5 unique interviews with professional bloggers like Darren Rowse, Brian Clark and Andy Wibbels.
- Plus loads more.
You can take a behind the scenes tour and hear Yaro talk about his coaching program if you watch the short video at the start of the sign-up page: here
This is definitely the only course I know of that teaches you how to make a full time living blogging only part time, and how to build a real business from a blog, taught by someone who has actually done it.
Yaro’s teaching style is unique, he’s easy to learn from and has an ability to make complex subjects simple to understand.
He’s also one of the only bloggers I know of who really understands Internet marketing and how to build a business that doesn’t suck all your time.
Plus he makes over six-figures a year from his blog, so that’s enough proof for me!
No matter what level of blogger you are, whether you are brand new and still don’t even have a blog, or you are an experienced blogger who wants to take their income to the next level and stop working so hard, Blog
Mastermind is for you.
Yaro is offering 3 fast-action bonuses for the first 100 new members who join his program today.
They include three interviews and videos on important subjects to any blogger: Read all about it in my last post here
These bonuses are only for the first 100 (30 spots left at the time writing this) new members today, so you
better hurry if you want these extra goodies. Here is the link to join the coaching program.
Even if you don’t join Yaro’s program today, make sure you study his videos and the Blog Profits Blueprint report he gives away.
Yaro offers so much great advice that won’t cost you a cent and I’m sure if you follow his instructions you will begin earning rewards from your blog.
