A lot of great information for beginning bloggers and how to do the initial tasks to start a blog using WordPress blogging software. These videos will get you over that technical hump that can cause some new bloggers to abandon blogging altogether.
In addition to the videos you’ll be able to download Yaro’s Blog Profits Blueprint. The blueprint is absolutely fantastic and packed with information that will provide you with blogging ideas for your blog content. You will refer to it over and over again for a long time. YOu’ll also have a chance to sign up for Yaro’s weekly newsletter which is always packed with top-notch blogging advice.
Overall I like the videos. Gideon might talk a bit too fast at times for beginners, but you can certainly “rewind” the video to spots that you would like to listen to again.
Other detailed videos that would be good to see is a bit more information on using the keyword tracking tool in video two and more keyword hows and whys for beginners to understand maybe why they need to use a keyword tool.
For me the videos were not too long or too short. Also, don’t forget to browse around at becomeablogger, especially the resources page. Great job Yaro and Gideon.
