I’ve used a number of blogging systems, and I’ve wanted to write a review of Rob Benwell’s Blogging to the Bank for quite some time. So now, I’m finally getting to it, I’ll hope you’ll dig in and absorb, especially if your working to make money online with a business blog.
Blogging to the Bank 3.0 is a sequel program (ebook). The original was a pretty big seller. I know it was sold on Clickbank as is the new version. The stated reason for the ebook’s existence is to show you how much money you or anyone can make online with a blog, and that you won’t have to work very hard doing it. Rob Benwell backs it up because he is living proof that his system works. Rob advertises that he makes 30k or more each month using this blogging method.
Since blogging is the method I teach in TrafficStarterPro to start a money making website that generates tons of targeted traffic, I certainly wanted to know just what Blogging to the Bank is all about. I didn’t know anything about this system, so I really was going in blind.
I purchased my own copy, and Rob Benwell has no knowledge that I am writing this review… well he might after he does some searches
Make Money Blogging
Rob Benwell does not do things the way I do. I modeled off of Alvin Phang, and Yaro Starak. Their blogging methods and mine are really quite different than those of Rob’s and Blogging to the Bank 3.0. Rob’s method seem to be fairly common, but he has the most well known version on the market.
Blogging to the Bank 3.0 focuses on using the search engine and other traffic to create sales of various affiliate products. The emphasis is using Clickbank products in the niche of your choice, get a bunch of traffic and then a bunch of sales. Sounds simple, but is it? Then of course, once you got it working, do it repeatedly with many blogs.
What’s the Distinction?
I know it doesn’t sound any different than my blogging. But the big difference is, I establish myself as an authority in my niche. My blogging is about me creating the content, and building up traffic over time. I interact with visitors, and become a long term asset. This I learned from Alvin and Yaro.
In Blogging to the Bank 3.0, the emphasis is not on relationships, its on review copy. His goal is to find a high potential income source. There is no emphasis on creating a long term relationship. The methods for getting traffic are sound, and probably will start an income faster than my “relationship” blog. So if faster income is the goal, then Blogging to the Bank is likely to work for you, and probably a lot easier.
For me, I like it because I find ways to blend the styles of several top Bloggers and create the best of both worlds. So even for a blogger like me, Blogging to the Bank is worth the purchase.
Who’s it For?
Blogging to the Bank is clearly targeted for beginners. Like most ebook programs, you should be serious if it’s going to work. This is for serious beginners. It’s not a completely, hold you by the hand book. It is a big process with a number of the essential elements drawn out in detail.
If you are completely new to doing anything at all on the internet, you may have some real problems with this program. It’s not going to take you through any technical hurdles – just hand them to you. That’s a major difference from my own TrafficStarterPro which I teach all the technical steps as well.
However, most of the technical things can be learned very easily, and if you are willing to spend the time looking and assembling information — it probably can be done in open sources.
What are the Steps?
This is really a process where he tells you do this then do that. It is the actions you need to perform.
So I will lay this out as quickly as I can. Here’s what’s in Blogging to the Bank 3.0…
How to do keyword research using Google, and how to find the target products in Clickbank
How pick a domain name and set up your Wordpress Blog.
How to optimize your blog for all your readers and for the search engines. Also, key plugins to use for monetizing your blog.
How to create content. Some yourself, and also with private label rights content, using article directories and outsourcing.
How to promote your blog with link building, Web 2.0 and SEO.
How to sell Clickbank products and to sell advertising on your blog.
How to repeat this over and over again…
But of course, you have to take action, or nothing will happen. You can’t just do some of it, and see all the benefits. No way. Don’t be ridiculous.
What’s the Bottom Line?
If you are really just up for finding wherever the money is, and you don’t care one hoot about any passions, then this is the thing for you. It shows you how to find the money niche products, set up the blogs, market them and repeat it.
If you are already blogging and establishing yourself as an expert in your niche, then don’t do this, because it won’t help you. If you’re like me, and you like to blend things, then maybe you do want this.
But if you aren’t really strong with blending new mixes, then you won’t want to change courses with Blogging to the Bank 3.0. Stay where you are, and follow your current model. Keep your rudder straight.
The cost at the time of this review is $37. It’s worth it if you fit the bill above. Blogging for the Bank 3.0 has a very good bonus package as well. Like all Clickbank products, it has a 60 day guarantee. You get your full money back if you don’t like it, or you’re not an action taker.
P.S. So what do I think is better – my TrafficStarterPro or Blogging to the Bank 3.0 Well of course I recommend my course first. TrafficStarterPro has a slightly different focus, and a lot more comprehensive. So yes TrafficStarterPro is slightly more expensive, but it is really way more in-depth. But Blogging to the Bank 3.0 is totally about money, so that is a different focus.
So I do believe Blogging to the Bank is worth having. You learn techniques I don’t teach. But they don’t mix well with TrafficStarterPro. In fact, if you are fully developed in a niche as a blogging authority, then you might well want to add Rob’s techniques to your portfolio.

Let’s talk traffic and how to get it. Your website has at most, 10 seconds to grab the attention of your visitor, so you need to have something “interest grabbing” above the fold. That’s a newspaper term for what people see when looking at the top part of a paper.
With more than 50 million websites out there, your viewers will demand topic specific information that will make them bookmark you, recommend you to their friends, and make them return over and over.
An easy subscribe method on your site is a must. If must have an easy way for people to subscribe or you are literally throwing away customers; something you can’t afford to do in these competitive times.
Building a list is one of the single most important things you can do to survive and stay alive in business. One of the easiest ways to build a list is to offer something free to all subscribers. Offer value and people will stay with you for a very long time. If you don’t have a large list of your own, then barter or buy advertising with someone who does have a large list with the same target market audience as you.
Take your list, no matter how big or how small and ask your subscribers to refer 2 people to your site. Offer them something of value for helping you. Explain to them that you are trying to build your list so you can improve your site so that it will be more beneficial to them.
We are all just ordinary people out there and many of us are happy to help others. Make sure there is a link on your site for people to forward your site to others with one click. Think, how many times has a friend sent you a site to look at. We all do it.
Don’t forget to always include your website at the bottom of every email you send. Make sure you use it in a sig file at any webboard you join. Same for newsgroups. Consider sending funny pictures out to friends and relatives with your sig file in the email. As they forward your email to others and they refer to others it will explode. Make sure you have a very effective sig file. This allows you to keep building and building.
One of the most important things you can do with your website is to make sure any link that goes away from your site is set to open in a new window. This way your visitors do not leave your site and don’t have to try and find a way back once they have finished at the other site. Your site must be as user friendly as possible.
Getting your website link on other websites. Links to your site will affect your search engine rankings. The higher your ranking the more visitors. It’s that simple. But not just any link will do. You need quality links that also relate to your business. Avoid link farms. Search engines will view your site negatively if you are in link farms or god forbid, webrings. Don’t link with just anyone. Go for quality.
A free site that will help you to get and exchange quality links is Ken Evoy’s SiteSell. Free is good and they make it very easy for you. It one reason I return to their site over and over. Have a look http://value-exchange.sitesell.com Consider exchanging banners with these sites. It a benefit for both of you.
Get listed in ezine directories and search engines. Submit by hand and not by some mass program. Many of them don’t work properly and search engines are starting to ignore them. Start with http://www.dmoz.org as they feed a lot of other search engines. Then hit the top five.
Get Google traffic. It’s not that hard. There’s no special trick. Simply go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/ and read their recommendations and then make sure you implement them into your site so that your site is properly optimized. Set aside some time every day…15 minutes to an hour and work on optimizing your site correctly.
Want to get into Yahoo the free way. It’s easy…visit here http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request It may take a month or more, but it will save you a lot of money. If you are in a hurry and time is money then used the paid listing. It by no means guarantee that you will get it and they will not refund your money if they reject you, but if you have done things right you should be ok.
If you can write articles do so. If you don’t then put appropriate articles on your site for others to read. Either will bring you traffic. Archived articles that you have written can bring you traffic for years to come. This is an effective long term strategy and will help to establish you and your credentials as well.
A popular ezine directory like http://www.ezinehub.com will give you some insight on what ezines will accept your articles and submitting to ezine article sites will give you even wider distribution. Make sure all your articles include a small footer at the end, about the author. This should be kept to 4-5 lines and has to be as effective as possible in order to bring you new visitors.

What’s the truth about The Affiliate Code. Here is my launch day review. This is an honest, no fluff The Affiliate Code Review, so if you’re looking for hype, it’s not here. If you are looking to make your final purchase decision, then you’ll want to read the rest. I just focus on facts, and you can decide…
So what’s inside The Affiliate Code?
Like Michaeal Jones previous product (The Clickbank Code which I also own and use), The Affiliate Code is complete training presented principally in videos. It is designed to enable newbies and experienced online business owners to profit easily without the huge cost of advertising.
Michael Jones states he made as much as $65,000 a month using these techniques (but of course doesn’t guarantee your results, because he can’t guarantee you will follow every step). But the most important thing to me is this is a real business system that you can and will profit from if you follow his step-by-step training.
Let me repeat, neither I nor anyone else is guaranteeing how much money you’ll make, that is completely dependent on how well you follow directions, and what niches you choose for yourself.
Once you complete your purchase, you’ll get complete, hands on access to the step-by-step training guide. This video training is in 8 modules. Let me show you exactly what you get and imagine yourself having all this business infor right in your hands:
Module 3: Tech Talk Site Setup. Please note, that the majority of affliate training courses that don’t cost $2,000 or more leave most of this stuff out. The Affiliate Code Covers everything.
Overview
Why do You Need a Website
Tools
How to Setup a Website
Module 4: How and Why to Use an Autoresponder
The Power of a List and Auto-responder
Why You Need an Autoresponder
How To Set Up An Autoresponder
Module 5:Copywriting. This is very important. It’s the difference between excellent conversions and falling flat.
Module 6: Driving Free Traffic. Of course, I really like this. It was what I blog about. Pay attention and get your sales for almost nothing.
Free Traffic
Free Traffic Complementary Product
Launch Your Assault
Killer Technique for Getting on the First Page of Google.
Module 7: Stats Tracking. The only way to improve is to track what happens, not guess. Another key module that most programs don’t include.
Introduction
Overview the System
Putting it all together
Implementation
Module 8: Going Big. Some basic steps to expand your sales beyond what you just learned.
Overview
Building your empire.
Some key things to remember:
Choosing a niche first, is most important. Don’t skip this. If you don’t know your niche, you can’t make sales with anyone’s system, not even The Affiliate Code.
Choosing products is then vital after you know your niche. Michael Jones shows you exactly how to do this, and know that you are picking a real winner. He covers digital and physical products as well.
Don’t think you can skip having an autoresponder. A real, professional autoresponder is key to any online system, and your profits. The Affiliate Code shows you exactly how to set this up.
What’s the Weakess?
The Affiliate Code is not for people looking to expand the advertising business through media like pay per click, cost per action, cost per acquisition, or pay per view marketing. You’ll need another course for that. Micheal Jones The Clickbank Code is where I would go for pay per click affiliate advertising.
What’s the Bottom Line?
The Affiliate Code is a remarkably good video training system for starting a brand new online business from nothing. It is a great follow on to my course TrafficStarterPro. It truly over delivers on content. Really excellent.
It is complete, and thorough training for building your niche business as an affiliate. I honestly believe that anyone who is comitted to achieving success online, and doesn’t have a successful business model, should start right here with The Affiliate Code.
The Affiliate Code will make you and your business money, if you can just follow directions.
P.S. Yes, I am an affiliate, and you will be too, once you get this great product and see just how good it is. So of course I can profit from it, but you that’s what affiliate marketing is all about. It’s time you learned from a master
Michael Jones (he made The Clickbank Code – See my Clickbank Code review) is about to release this new product of his. He claims he is going to show you how he makes $65,000 without buying any PPC ads.
The Affiliate Code is to be about his crazy experiments on how to increase your profits by making affiliate sales without PPC. I know The Clickbank Code was great, so I am expecting another great product from Michael Jones.
So, Here is what I did:
I want to know as much as possible about this product, The Affiliate Code, and I bet you would like to know some inside scoop too…
Therefore, I made you a Blog where you can post whatever you know about The Affiliate Code. Yes, I want to know your thoughts. Would you tell me.
