Awesome job Yaro…and just in time for me to send to my friend who I’ve been attempting to get to blogging but really didn’t want to work at explaining the how…now I can just give her the link.
For those of you reading, be sure to read the Blog Profits Blueprint. It is a vital and valuable in depth report on blogging.
As a beginning blogger I didn’t understand all the nuances of blogging and was using a platform that wasn’t working optimally for me. Word Press made the difference.
After spending six months applying techniques in the blueprint and from the Blog Master Mind course (also offered by Yaro) I saw a jump in my readership, attracted more media attention, and am attracting advertisers…plus I’ve met a great group of people from all over the world.
Whether you want to blog for fun or business–spend the time watching these videos.

Yaro and friend (I missed his name, sorry!)
Thank you so very much for this series of video tutorials! I really appreciate it!

Hi Guys
This is a really good series of videos. I notice there is an “embed this video” option on each video. Is there any restriction to my using these videos on my site? I’d really like to share this information.
[Reply]
Hi Anti-Hype - you are welcome to embed the videos anyway you like, as long as you don’t sell them for money.
[Reply]
Thanks that’s really generous. Could you produce a video about backing up a Word Press blog to include recommended plug in. This is an area that is overlooked by most people but if you’ve ever lost data / database it’s a real disaster. Thanks in anticipation
[Reply]
Hi Shane
Thanks for your kind comments. We certainly tried our best to make this a very valuable teaching tool.
I’m really glad that you also like the teaching style. I guess it means we did something right…

Hi Diana
Wow! Sounds like you’re going up in the world of blogging! Thanks very much for your kind comments and recommendations.
Thank you also for recommending this to your friends. Of course if you can blog about it, that would be even better
Kind regards

Hi Anti Hype
Good idea about a video for backing up a WordPress blog. I will make a note of it and discuss it with Yaro. Perhaps we can cover it in one of our future videos.
Talk soon!

I love the look of this site Yaro. Fantastic job. I am big fan of your blog. Your ebook Blog Blueprint is excellent; No hype, no bull, just the straight up truth about blogging. I highly recommend Bloggers Blueprint for anyone who blogs.
I had no idea when I started blogging that I would enjoy it so much. At first I hardly knew what to say, and now I cannot stop. Since I started I have created 4 ebooks, and I have just begun my 5th. Just recently I decided to narrow my niche to creating private label rights videos. What a laugh that has been. I found out that I am very uncomfortable on video.
Do you have any tips on vlogging? Obviously your doing very well with it. Keep up the good work.
Bye for now.
[Reply]
Hi Robert
Wow! Sounds like you’ve been busy! I’m responding to you since I created the videos for BecomeABlogger.com (with Yaro’s help of course)…
Congratulations on your amazing success. Four ebooks is certainly an achievement - most people are still stuck on their first one! Any tips on how to write them would of course be very helpful
Vlogging? Interesting you should ask! I’ve been doing online video now for quite some time, and that’s in fact why Yaro asked me to help him out with BecomeABlogger.com. Even though it might not be exactly what you are looking for, you can get some cool FREE stuff on one of my other websites at http://www.GetYourVideoOnline.com.
Check it out and feel free to contact me via the contact form. I’d be happy to help out where I can
Talk soon!

Hi Gideon & Yaro…….. and a very warm hello from London UK
As a silver haired NEWBIE, I would very much like to compliment you on your video tutorials - they are truly excellent.
This is particularly the case, in respect of how you explain the methodolgy to complete the respective tasks and, in the delivery of the information - where the voice is clear, precise and, spoken in a manner that makes for very easy listening and ultimately easy learning
As I say, in being a comparative newbie, I have trawled the webb for all kinds of information, as I am seeking to set up an internet presence and a small internet ebiz in info products….. Well small today ..tomorrow the world lol.
Obviously, you site are able to gain the usual ‘commisions’ from the numerous links etc, and they are well deserved given the supportive output that you have provided to date.
It would be great if, as a team, you were able to provide more videos on the like of how to set up and upload sales, squeeze, and thankyou pages and, how they can also be uploaded using http://FTP.
In fact I think you should develop a whole A-Z of ‘How To Videos’ - a complete ‘Roadmap’ for the newbie, as it were, on how to become an imternet marketer.
The immaculate style of the site and delivery of the videos, lends itself very well to such a concept and more importantly, once you have honed them and gained positive reccomendations from the likes of me
..what price putting them all onto a dvd as a complete ‘home study course’ for the uninitiated - of which there must be thousands joining the web weekly - and which you and affiliates, could market to them online. - Big Bucks me thinks … lol
Though there are some products out there that attempt to provide video info for the budding entrepreneur, for the most part they are poorly put together - never go completely from A to Z and/or the delivery of the material, is also very poorly put together etc - unlike yours!
Anyway, I have burbled on enough… on this vist. So I now very much look forward to exploring your site more fully and, looking at your blog info also - As I need to start somewhere and on first glance, this looks a great place
In the meantime, take care and whatever the outcome, I would like to wish you both every success in all your future I.M. endeavours ..Good luck!
Sincere regards
Pete.
P.S. I also like the style of ypuir website crisp clean and easy to navigate.
Phew, don’t those Brit’s go on I hear you say… lol.
[Reply]
Hi Pete
Thanks for your comprehensive comment! And thanks so much for all your compliments. It was certainly great working with Yaro on this project.
Thank you also for your suggestion for an A-Z on internet marketing product. That certainly sounds like a great concept, and I’ll discuss it with Yaro once he’s back from his overseas trip.
Take care Pete, and I’m glad we could be of service!

Amazing Video. But I’m in trouble! I’m Italian boy, I know english quite good, I understand very good written english, but in the video i undestand only 50-60% of total. Have you ever considered to issue the videos with eng subtitles?
The blueprint guide are very interesting. For now I confort myself reading this ebook.
Plese to meet you

Hi Fabio
We actually do have the transcripts of the videos. So, in the near future, we’ll publish them on this blog.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Hello Yaro and Gideon,
Thanks for sharing such useful information. As a newbie to blogging, I started out blogging without doing much research on which blog software to use. After watching your videos, it definitely attract me to check out WordPress. Keep up your good work, I believe lots of people have gained from your generous sharing.
By the way, is it simple to port over from Blogger to Wordpress?

Hi Gideon I have told just about everyone who will listen about your site some to the point of boredome. I work in adult education and have been in touch with jisc other services and my own tutors suggesting they give it a go. My domain name is placesdonetodate.com please tread carefully (dont expect too much)I am on leave so will not be able to develop any further for the next 17 days. Once again thank you.
[Reply]
Hi NL
Thanks for your very welcome comments! It’s MUCH appreciated!
At the time of writing this, the becomeablogger.com videos have been viewed close to 40,000 times. So I reckon a few people will have been helped by this
About your question, I’m sorry I cant help you there. I think your best option is to use google to search for an answer there. We only cover Wordpress, and have decided just to keep things simple for now. But if you do find an answers, you’re most welcome to come back here and post it, ok?
Thanks once again for your very encouraging comments!

This video is awesome! Finally, an easy way to learn about blogging from an expert and without all the sales hype.

Hey guys, this is really an exceptional series of videos. I’ve seen all ten in this series and there is not a clinker in the bunch.

I feel I could get rolling with blogging and not run into to many road blocks. Thanks Much!

Hi, first of all Your Videos are the best I have seen, (hope you dont remove them for some time yet) so easy to understand and the talking is great, I can’t praise you both enough. When I get Wordpress on Line I will let you know.
Being Disabled with pain and some Mental issues it takes me a lot longer to do things. I can only use my PC when I have a good day.Once again it is great being able to view your Videos on line.

I’m looking forward to watching all your blogging videos. I’m just starting to put my first blog together and have hit some snags along the way. Your presentation seems to bring some much needed clarity to setting up WordPress.
[Reply]
Hi
It looks as though you guys have put a lot of work into this; and,I’m sure it’s really educational and interestin, especially for someone like me, an old dog who’s just starting out anew!
However, the sound track to your intodutory video, featuring Gideon and Yaro, is absolutely atrocious; it stops and starts and the sound quality is extremely, and I mean extremely, poor! The geographical location of the listener shouldn’t affect the sound quality should it? Please advise.
Best regards

No subtitles? I’m deaf

Hey James
Oops! Sorry about that.
We are planning to add the transcripts to the videos soonish. Then you should be able to follow along the videos.
But actually adding sub-titles is a GRAND idea! THANKS!
