I was just watching some of the videos from the pre-launch of the Blog Classroom.   I really like that they are up to here with this pre-launch.  They are literally taking people from nothing, to having a functional blog with traffic incoming.

I’m  a relatively advanced blogger with a couple of years of experience and good traffic coming to my blogs, but I never fall into the trap of thinking I know all that there is to know.

I get questions all the time on how to get started as an affiliate and I truly  believe that blogging is a  good way to do this.  There are a few reasons why:

1. Blogging is EASY - you don’t have to be a programmer or an artist.  Just write baby
2. Blogging is Google friendly - if you set your WordPress up right,  and you write well, your blog has a great chance of getting noticed by the search engines.
3. Extending your blog is easy- there are THOUSANDS of plugins and themes out there that other folks have created to give your blog added capabilies and different looks and feels.

If you are looking to get started in affiliate marketing and would like to follow my advice to get started by blogging, your best bet is to check out this pre-launch course from Blog Classroom.   They will take you through the basics, and get you blogging with easy to follow videos from industry pro’s like Rosalind Gardner.

Lesson 2 is a good one as well as it shows you how to prepare your blog for the search engines as well.

One thing you may want to do in advance is get a domain registered with a domain host that uses the CPanel control panel like Bluehost.  Bluehost is the host that Blog Classroom uses in the “how to” videos and it’s startling how easy they have made blog installation.   They have some well priced packages as well that will give you all you need to blog away.

Be aware that there is going to be an attempt to make money from you at the end of all this free “how to” content from Blog Classroom.    It may be right for you or it may not.  I do heartily recommend that you at least give the free lessons they are offering your attention as they are really good stuff.

The folks at Blog Classroom have put together a course that will get you through all of the  growing pains that I have  had over the last couple of years of blogging.  Check them out and save yourself some time.

God Bless,
