Blogging for Riches

Blogging for Riches is a very comprehensive video-based program on how to locate profitable niches, and how to create blogs to market affiliate products within those niches.

The volume of videos will keep you busy for quite some time, but it is also hampered by the problems inherent in video.

"Found it interesting and refreshingly simple (for a change) how he researched what products he was going to focus on and build blogs for."

Blogging for Riches has undergone many changes since its introduction in 2007. In its current form, the primary offering consists of a video series that focuses on niche blogging. This aspect is important to understand as the programs reviewed on this site can be broken down into two general categories: long-term blogging methods (methods for building flagship blogs) and niche blogging methods. Blogging for Riches falls into the latter category.

The consensus is that the best part of this program is the research-oriented videos related to finding and targeting a niche. The course opens with these niche identification videos before moving into the implementation-related steps.

There are a large number of videos on the typical offerings: basic startup tasks, blog installation, blog configuration, etc. Blogging for Riches then moves onto content creation, reviewing the usual suspects of insourcing, outsourcing, private label rights, and article directories. There is little in these sections that sets Blogging for Riches apart from the other packages reviewed.

One aspect of this section that is suspect is the recommendation of an "online mailbox" to collect content. Essentially, a blogger signs up for as many e-mail subscriptions as possible and then publishes all e-mails received on the target blog. While you can get content this way, the content would be filled with someone else's links and recommendations, and it seems rather nefarious to repurpose someone's content in this way without permission.

Once these tasks are out of the way, other video modules are introduced, covering the expected subjects of traffic generation, web 2.0, and monetization, with a strong focus on networking and web 2.0.
