Blog Mastermind Review

I'm enrolled in Yaro Starak's Blog Mastermind program. If you want to start blogging or refine your blogging this is a great program.

Yaro offers e-lessons once a week that are packed with quite a few tasks to work on. Some of the lessons in first month of the course includes:

1. Let's Get Blogging! - This lesson walks you through quite a few topics to think about when setting up the foundations for your blog - what to blog about, what to do if you're not a computer savvy or technical type of person, choosing a domain name, case studies, and the introduction of the Blog Mastermind Group where you hang out with fellow students and mentors to get all your questions answered.
2. Blog Foundations - This lesson talks about traffic and ways to go about attracting it as well as blog design.
3. RSS, Social Proof & Plug-ins - This lesson discusses using RSS readers like Google Reader and Bloglines.com to read multiple blogs quickly and to set up an account on Feedburner.com so you can let readers of your blog subscribe to it. WordPress plug-ins are discussed as well as the introduction of tags, permalinks and pillar articles.
4. Finalizing Your Blog Structure - In this lesson Yaro reviews optimizing your blog for search engines, pagerank explanation, SEO internal structure, sitemaps and more WordPress plug-ins.

These are just a sampling of what is discussed. There are extra PDFs to read as well and all the e-lessons are in MP3 format so you can listen to them whenever and wherever you like.

The forums for students are invaluable especially when it come to technical questions and solutions. Yaro provides case studies of some of the student blogs which is very helpful.

At this point I do recommend this course at $50.00 a month it provides a lot of good stuff to get you blogging in the right direction.
