Blogging Advice from the Six Figure Master

A Story of Gratitude

I started talking to David Risley some time last year when I was in Afghanistan. I liked the fact that he was down to earth and offered practical advice for new bloggers trying to cut their teeth in this crazy market.

When I approached him about guest posting, he was really cool about it, and as we continue to talk, I continued to send in guest posts. Over time, my blog grew, and Dave’s advice really helped my progression.

Forward to October

When I signed up for the Blogworld Expo in Las Vegas, I had plans on meeting a lot of the bloggers that inspired me. Dave was one of them.

I wasn’t really sure how it would go, or if they’d be willing to hang out with a guy like me…walking in to the convention on that first day was a little nerve wracking, but I was determined to at least extend a hand to say thanks.

The minute I shook hands with David, I realized that talking to him in person was just like talking via email or chat. The dude was real, and I was relieved.

The funny part of the story was when he said “hey this is Darren Rowse, you might know him,” as he pointed to a gentleman he was talking with that I completely ignored.

Embarrassed and laughing because I cut off a conversation between two probloggers, I reached out and shook Darren’s hand and hung out to talk for a while.

Over that weekend, I got a chance to hang out with David, and we became friends (funny how that works).

Why Should You Care?

The point of the story is that Dave is a regular guy, like the rest of us, but when it comes to blogging, he’s a master. He’s been doing it since before I knew it existed, and he makes around 200k/year in the process.

Although I pride myself on knowing a thing or two on blogging, Dave is the Obi Wan to my Anakin (before he killed all the little jedi children), and I figure that if I learned how to become a better blogger because of him, then there’s a chance that you can too.

The Six Figure Blogger Blueprint

Dave, just released an awesome free report, that teaches you how he obtained a six figure salary as a blogger, called The Six Figure Blogger Blueprint. I’ve read it, and it’s really useful.

I know, free reports abound on the internet and it’s hard to find time to read them all, but this is one you should make time for.

As you know, I don’t recommend much, but when I do, it’s something I believe in, and this is no exception. There’s nothing to buy, so just go check it out.
