Are You Updating Your Old Blog Posts?

This past week, I spent a ridiculous amount of time updating old posts on my blog.

And let me tell you, it made me want to cry.

I’ve become a way better writer since I began working on this site, and my writing style has changed dramatically. Some of my old blog posts were absolutely horrific, and downright embarrassing.

Yet, the majority of my traffic arrives to these old, embarrassing articles. So I had to ask myself… is this really the impression I want to leave on my new visitors? My potential subscribers and potential buyers? Is this what I want them to think of my site?

Absolutely not.

It’s time for you to ask yourself the same thing. Let’s talk about updating your old blog posts.

How To Build A Successful Amazon Affiliate Site – The Ultimate Guide

Earlier this year, I launched my first my first Amazon affiliate site. I had heard from some internet “gurus” that it was no longer possible to make money through Amazon affiliate sites, and I wanted to see if this were actually true.

How Publishing An eBook Can Push Your Blog To New Levels

Note: The book referenced in this post has been revised, expanded upon, and turned into my blogging course.

I recently published my first eBook ever. Not only was it an incredible learning experience, but it has helped my blog in so many ways. In fact, the benefits that have come from publishing this book far outweigh the money the book has actually made.

The benefits have been so numerous that I have already written another book for another blog of mine, and plan on publishing several more in 2015.

Are You Preparing Your Blog For The Christmas Season?

In December, every day is Christmas for affiliate marketers.

Money is being spent left and right. Employees are getting their Christmas bonuses and are using all of that extra money to buy presents for this year’s holiday season. Many are also spending extra money on themselves. In either case, money is being thrown around like it’s nothing.

Best of all, this type of spending is going to continue on throughout January as people take back their Christmas presents and purchase different ones.

It’s the happiest time of the year. Especially for bloggers like you and me – if you can capitalize on it.

Problem Solving vs Hobby Niches – Which Are More Profitable?

Not sure which niche you want to enter into? Grab my niche selection blueprint by clicking here and you’ll find your perfect, profitable niche in no time!

The majority of profitable niches are divided into two main categories. Problem solving, and hobbies. The problem is, people have hard time deciding which they should enter into. This is understandable – it’s a big choice, and there are conflicting opinions everywhere.

One set of marketers will say that anything but problem solving niches are a waste of time, as buyers are desperate to solve their problems and are very willing to pay for an instant solution. Another set of marketers will insist that hobby niches are far more profitable, because the visitors that visit your site are more likely to return and purchase from you multiple times.

While both can be extremely profitable, problem solving and hobby niches are often tackled in drastically different ways. For this reason, we must dig a little bit further before we can decide which category would be more profitable for you.
