The Online Profits Teaching Resource Opens its Doors to 300 More Students

Posted: 18 Jan 2010 12:07 AM PST

It is that time of year when an amazing array of products and teaching resources are being released for those wanting to explore how to make a living online. I know as someone who covers the topic here on ProBlogger I’ve been pitched to write about many of them (at last count I’ve been pitched to write about and recommend over 20 this week alone).

I’m pretty selective in the products that I recommend – one of those that I do suggest you check out has just reopened its doors to a new calls of 300 members – it’s called Online Profits.

Online Profits is the work of Daniel Scocco from a number of sites including ‘Daily Blog Tips’ and he’s one person in this game that I’ve come to respect a lot.

Online Profits is a comprehensive teaching course that covers 24 learning modules. After completing the course:

You’ll know Internet marketing inside out.
You’ll create your own online business.
You’ll take your existing websites to the next level.
You’ll discover the tools you need to succeed.
You’ll get access to a vibrant community of entrepreneurs.

The 24 modules cover a lot of ground and go way beyond just talking about blogging. Daniel and his team go through the basics like choosing domains and niches but get into a lot more detail including topics like SEO, affiliate marketing, developing and selling products and much more.

The best part about what Daniel has done though is in the group of mentors and teachers that he has assembled. He’s used people like Neil Patel, Chris Garrett, Yaro Starak, Zac Johnson and a lot more successful internet marketers to share what they know.

If you want to get a taste of Daniel’s style – I recommend you do so by checking out his free report – 10 Deadly Business Mistakes You Should Avoid.

It’s a valuable report that will not only give you an insight into how Daniel goes about his business but it’ll give you a sample of his style.

Online Profits opened its doors minutes before I hit publish on this post and will be closed again once 300 new class members signup. It’s a worthwhile investment in your learning about internet marketing.

The Online Profits Teaching Resource Opens its Doors to 300 More Students

1. I ask Questions

I reach out to my community by asking questions. I want to know why they visit my blogs. I want to know what I'm doing right, and what I'm doing wrong. I want to know which areas of our niche are the most confusing and which topics we need to lay to rest. My blog is my business and any business owner must ask questions to be a success.

2. I monitor Community Discussions

What are writers talking about in the forums or on Twitter? I take some time every day to do some research around the social networks and writing forums. Having discussions with my fellow freelancers offers inspiration. It also allows me to see trends, learn about new concerns, see who is hiring, and, in general, keep my finger on the pulse of the community. I never run out of things I like to talk about. The challenge is making sure it's stuff everyone else is interested in as well.

3. I don't look at other Bloggers as Competition

There are so many freelance writing bloggers but I don't consider them competition. Instead, I treat them as colleagues and people to with whom to bounce ideas around. I visit their communities and participate in the discussions and invite them to do the same. I direct my community to interesting topics and debates and encourage them to get involved. The way I see it, there's room for anyone. No one has to be married to one particular blogger. We should all visit as many as we like and work together to provide the best information possible. There's nothing wrong with cross pollination.

4. I monitor the response to my blog posts – and other bloggers' posts

What makes one blog post receive one hundred comments and lots of link love, while others will slip by with nary a mention? To find out I monitor the response to my discussion topics, and also, the topics up for discussion on other blogs. If I see a blog post with hundreds of comments, I'll explore why. Perhaps this is something I can expand upon or discuss further? How would my community respond to a counter discussion?

5. I Commiserate

I don't only share tips and Ideas, I also commiserate. I know what it's like to work at home all by my lonesome. I know what it's like to receive rejection as a writer or to have to pull an all-nighter to meet a deadline. I let my community know I've been there too, preferably with humor. They respond well after learning I'm a regular person and not a guru.

6. I don't claim to be an expert

When describing myself, I don't use words like "expert," "guru," "rockstar," or "extraordinaire," because I'm not. I'm a freelance writer who likes to talk about my methods for success. Instead of pontificating, I share. I learn from my community and they learn from me. It's a mutually beneficial relationship.

7.I keep close Eye on Stats

I analyze my stats every single day and take advantage of traffic boosters. If a certain piece does well, I'll turn it into a series. If a certain day or time gets the most traffic, I'll post my best work then. If I'm noticing trends with keywords, I'll write around these topics. I'll also note which content receives a poor response and what went viral. It's important for any blogger to monitor trends, especially if that blogger wants to stay at the top.

8. I Consider all Feedback

I always consider feedback to be an opportunity, whether it's positive or negative. Every single email, Tweet or comment directed my way is read and considered. Feedback is the most important gift I can receive from my community, even if they don't like something I said. Without my community, my blog network wouldn,t be a success. Listening to them—and acting on their concerns — is the least I can do.

Certain blog niches are saturated. Every day a new and terrific blog launches and new blog stars are made. How does an old schooler like me stay on top of the game? By listening, observing, sharing and showing appreciation to my community.

What's your niche – and what sets you apart from the rest?
