Free Download: Beginner’s Blogging Guide & Blogging Calendar
I’m taking the day off from Sweetie Saturday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still get cool stuff. Since last week’s Buzz Topics report by Lynette Chandler was
a hit, I wanted to make sure you were able to get your hands
on two more blogging goodies.
GOODIE #1: Get Started with Profitable Blogging
If you’re new to blogging, thinking of getting started or even procrastinating because you feel overwhelmed by the idea…this is something that might help.
It’s a step-by-step 16-page guide to setting up and making money from your blog. It covers everything from how you can make money, setting up your blog, software to use, tracking your traffic and maximizing your results.
This one is put together by John Yeo, a part-time blogger who earns a few thousand dollars per month from his blog:

Plus, if you like the guide, here is some information on how to brand it and give it out as well.
GOODIE #2: Printable Blog Calendar
Lynette’s at it again. Now you can print out a really cool printable blog calendar that gives you timely topic ideas for the entire year.
Go straight to the download at this link.
It’s super handy to have lying around whenever you’re planning blog topics or are simply just stumped as to what to write about.
Enjoy those…I know you’ll find them useful.

I love Lynette’s blog calendar. In fact, I used it today for tongue twister day and have several future posts planned from it.
Aurelia
Lynette always creates the coolest things. Thanks for this
Srinivasan
I have been running about 5 blogs for the past few years. I have also read every book that has ever been released. However the kind of money I make is nothing much to write about. I really wonder… and tell me honestly do you make good money from blogging.
Alice Seba
I agree…Aimee & Aurelia…Lynette’s stuff is great. The guide from John is terrific for those new to blogging as well. He’s a good teacher and everything is so down-to-earth.
Hi Srinivasan. Absolutely – with a good plan in reaching the right target market and testing out new offers, ad placements, etc…it can work very well. If you are working 5 blogs with little return, perhaps you’ve spread yourself a bit too thin. Why not put your focus into the 1 blog that seems to show the most promising results? You might be surprised.

Alice, that is a great point about picking one blog and building it up…yet I have been dithering over picking which one (or two) of my many projects to build. They all seems promising, fun or worthwhile. Some days I decide THIS is the one! And then a week later I think, Well, I can at least fix up this other one and sell it…only to get behind on the “main” blog.
I can’t seem to just focus, no matter how much I try.
Alice Seba
Well then Jill, in your case, you need a virtual slap to get SOMETHING started. Now while I think it’s important to stay focused and not launch a ton of blogs, you do have to get out there, get some experience and maybe that will point you in the right direction of where to put your focus.
So come on, Jill! I wanna see a blog!
Jill Florio
Thanks for the virtual slap Alice.
I do have a bunch of blogs up already, but can never decide which one to really focus on.
I keep thinking my local community blog should be the one I really build up: http://crestlineliving.com
But as it’s a small town, my total audience is automatically limited, leading towards a limited income. So then I start talking myself out of putting in the needed effort to really do it right.
Alice Seba
How small, Jill? And do tourists come to visit? I wouldn’t sell yourself short…it might also be a perfect opportunity to sell listings/advertising to local business.
Jill Florio
My town’s population is roughly 11,306 people, full time. There are a lot of vacation homes also (part-timers). There are neighboring towns on my mountain too, with more part-timers also.
Most of the tourist traffic goes to Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear, rather than Crestline, however. This is southern California, so there IS a massive base of literally millions of people regionally. However, Crestline doesn’t have a huge draw tourist-wise. It’s a sleepy town. That’s why we moved here but it’s not for everyone!
I have thought about having local businesses advertise, but don’t like to go out and make sales. I’d rather just write. Maybe I should outsource selling ads on my site?
