In 2007 I released, what I believe at the time, was the first blog coaching program.
I called it [Blog Mastermind](.
I continued to teach the program for the next five years, eventually closing it down in 2011 as it needed updating.
I didn't know it at the time, but over those years some pretty special people were taking my course, who would go on to become superstars in their own fields.
Mitch Wilson, Natalie MacNeil, Michelle Dale, Joel Friedlander, Kat Loterzo, Janea Dahl, Lain Chroust Ehmann, Jessica Nazarali, Joanna Penn, Leslie Samuel, Perry Romanowski, Muhammad Noer, Tracy Raftl and many others would emerge later and build hugely successful online businesses.
(You can download free [case study interviews]( with all of these amazing people.)
In 2013, I released a brand new version of [Blog Mastermind](, updated to focus on the more email driven world of online marketing, and narrowing in on people who want to sell teaching products like ebooks, membership sites and online courses.
I've enjoyed teaching the new course for the last five years, however, I decided earlier this year that in 2018 I would close the doors to the program.
On October 1st 2018 [Blog Mastermind 2.0]( will close to new members.
I will lead four more live coaching webinars for all active members, finishing up in December 2018.

Are You Ready To Build YOUR Audience?
Next year, I'm moving on to focus my time on other projects, including my new company [InboxDone.com](.
One of my current coaching members asked me this -
Is blogging dead, or at least dying? Even Yaro is moving on to something else...
I replied like this:
I suggest you stop thinking about what you are doing as 'blogging'.
It's content marketing.
The internet is all about content. It's how you get attention. It's why Google's core business works. It's why YouTube and Facebook and Instagram work -- they all live and die by content.
If humans stop producing and caring about content, then you should worry.
Although I am focusing my attention more on InboxDone.com, it's worth noting that every single customer we have for this new business came from my blog.
If I didn't spend years building an audience and trust from content, we'd have no customers.
What you have to remind yourself is that business - any business - is all about attention and trust. That's not going to change.
The internet is a content machine that is all about building audiences and trust. Blogging is one tool you can use to do that individually, from the comfort of your laptop.
There are certainly trends that rise and fall - Cryptocurrency was last year - where suddenly everyone is doing it.
It's worth paying attention to trends, because good timing definitely helps.
However, fundamentals don't change.
Ever since humans invented writing (and even before that when we started telling stories) we've been in the content business. I don't see that changing anytime soon.
If you plan to build a business using the internet, then you have to learn how to build an audience and sell products and services using digital content.
That's exactly why [Blog Mastermind 2.0]( was created.
I show you how to use your content to grow your audience, and how to set up automatic content sequences to sell whatever it is you sell.
It's the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to build an online business, who is willing to put in the work to produce and publish content.
The Right Time To Start Is Now
Back in 2005 I started producing content using a blog and it changed my life.
That was a good time to start.
In 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, many people joined [Blog Mastermind]( and went on to build amazing content-based businesses.
Those years were also good times to start.
Every year since then, people have started new blogs, new podcasts, new YouTube channels and have gone on to become super-successful online.
For them, the day they began publishing online was a good time to start.
For you, today is a good time to start.
[Blog Mastermind 2.0]( is the step-by-step guide and education you need.
If you've never published online and you've never been a 'marketer', you need to get the basics covered.
Join us before the doors close on October 1st, 2018.
