Pros:
  • There was plenty of information in this webinar for people looking for a blogging platform.
  • The process that they use for creating blogs is very well structured. It's similar to what I do.. Except they actually practice it.
Cons:
  • Their surveys were confusing and didn't match what the narrator said they were talking about. Yes…they were close, but they sometimes referred to numbers that didn't match what the survey was actually about. At least that was my take on them.
  • For example: The numbers of blogs posts per month and the number of customers they got from the posts was sort of 'mashed' together and used to prove two points that were really unrelated to the polls.
Summary: This was as informative webinar with plenty of information concerning starting a blog. It may have 'been there'…but I didn't find enough 'how to' meat in the webinar. That could be because I'm not really a newbie in the arena, and was looking for something a little different. I was looking for some 'wow' factors. About the only 'wow' factor I got was 'WOW… I do it very much the same way this guy does…and he's rich!"
If you're pretty new at the concept of blogging, and you're looking for a good webinar to watch at your own pace and take notes….this is one that you'll probably enjoy.
It simply wasn't my cup of tea.
