Product Review: Mark Joyner’s Learn to Blog for Profit & Fun Lesson 5

Content is king.  I know we’ve all heard that before and Mark Joyner’s “Learn to Blog for Profit & Fun“ wouldn’t be complete without a look at content and general writing tips.  In six minutes, Mark highlights 12 tips to help you focus on the writing of your blog so as to provide maximum value and interest for your readers.  He covers everything from knowing your audience to watching your grammar to linking substantially… and more! 

What I love best about Learn to Blog is that the lessons are in bite size pieces.  You’re given great content in small pieces and then you’re asked to digest the information by completing the daily checklist.  Items on the checklist include reading from the Virtuosity Book, reading aloud from the Virtuosity Book, listening to the MP3 lesson and then writing what you’ve learned in your own words.  So you’re getting the same content delivered to you four times and then a fifth time by rewriting it in the words that you would use.  Anyone who knows anything about the science of learning knows that repetition and writing in your own words helps to solidify learning. 

If you’re a newbie, then the course moves at the perfect pace for you.  If you’re a little more advanced, you might get a little bored with the first few lessons but the tasks that you’re asked to complete on the checklist can help you build a better blog.  For example, one of today’s tasks is to describe your target audience in detail.  Any good marketing course will ask you to visualize your target audience: what they look like, where they shop, what they do for fun, how much income they make, etc.  The fact that Learn to Blog asks you to do the same is the sign that there’s a pretty good (dare I say one of the best) marketing minds behind this course. 

I really encourage you to join me in this course.  It’s worth the fifteen minutes a day you’ll spend on each lesson and I’m confident that you’ll build a better blog.
