Blog Classroom Shocking Stats | Anik Singal & Rosalind Gardner as Blogging Mentors?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Blog ClassroomI just checked out the Blog Classroom sales page and my gut feeling is that, while it will certainly help people, it is definitely over-priced.

Well at-least it seems that way from the Sales Page. Having not seen the course in full I have no right to comment on how good or bad their course is. This is more a scrutiny of their sales page and how it reflects the content of their course, and not a reflection of the course itself because I have not tried it.

For those that don’t know, Blog Classroom is a course on how to blog run by affiliate marketers Anik Singal and Rosalind Gardner. These two people are without a doubt successful online entrepreneurs, but have they put together a good and valuable course?

Shocking Stats (not in a good way)

The first thing which stood out to me were the stats presented on the Blog Classroom sales page.

Now you expect a $500 course to be run by bloggers that have some awesome traffic stats to show.

  • 20-40 Visitors a Day is not Impressive:
    One stats screenshots shows just 20-40 visitors a day within a month of launch. But anyone can throw up 10 articles on a new blog, do no promotion & get traffic like this- it is not rocket science!

    Can they get 40,000 visitors within the first day of launch? Now that is what you might expect from someone who knows a little bit about blogging.

    Although I’m certainly no 6 figure Guru I consider myself a successful blogger that can launch a blog properly when I want to. Here’s an example of some more impressive stats of the very first blog I launched:
    Blog Launch

    While it was my first blog I had gained a lot of blogging experience as a freelancer.
  • Where’s a successful launch example?
    Now 20-40 visitors/day is a good start for a 100% complete newbie - but it shouldn’t be used on a Sales Page to sell a $500/day course - surely they can show something more impressive than that?

Internet Road to Success

When people start out online they become overwhelmed with the noise of potential opportunities.

Ideas start to flow and before you know it your working on several ideas but not really sure of the outcome of any of them and you’ve also spread yourself to thin.

Many people also get sucked into the crusade of finding that one easy method that will make them rich in a few weeks.

That magic pill does not exist and it is the people who spent their time working on one strategy and making it a success that start earning a sizeable income while the dream hunters are left behind.

But Which Business Model Should You Choose?

This can be a hard decision for many, and often people don’t make a decision and drift from idea to idea.

The important thing is that you pick one strategy and work on just that strategy and see it through until you make it work. It won’t happen over-night and it won’t happen if you give up.

If you work on any of the strategies below with an open mind, with dedication and a desire to be successful then you will be able to make a sizeable income online.

As always learning from someone who knows what they are doing (be it through networking or through a paid course) will significantly speed up the time it takes for you to be successful at any of these strategies.
