What many forget is that very few get into blogging for the dollars initially. It is only after they get involved, invest a great deal of time, and realize that their return is next to nill do they decide they need to monetize blogging or face a battle with their significant other. We decided to take the course as we both fear our significant others wrath and want to continue blogging. The lessons learned may be self evident for others, but when you are looking at turning a blog from a hobby to an income producing venture, it would be hard not to recommend these two. They laid out the different money making tools available, insight on how to use these tools, and anecdotes that provided a comfort factor that empowered the participants to start using the tools effectively. So Andy and Darren, thanks for a great class, a foundation for future earnings, and a pleasant way to spend 6 Wednesday evenings. Tom I also took the course, and have been blogging for the last year.

I think their presentation was highly informative and professionally delivered. The notes that were supplied were fantastic and I took three times as many from the lectures. I've never received so much value packed into only 6 weeks and I'm starting to work in the suggestions on my own TypePad blogs which are under development. In addition, both Andy and Darren made themselves fully available for questions about any of the material throughout the course. I don't know of any type of course which offers such a level of service. I highly recommend Six Figure Blogging to any one who wants to take their blogging to another level.

I found myself a little swamped during the course and unable to really go at it in depth. I found the course worthwhile.

I liked the way Andy and Darren emphasized building a relationship with people on a blog, which is what they are both doing on their blogs. I liked the way they talked about finding a niche that will be fun for each of us to do - no sense in having a blog just for the money because it becomes too much of a chore. Since taking the course I now have a lot of respect for those who make their income from blogging. Since I've started work on my own blogs, I can see that it takes a lot of dedication and many hours of work. Thank you very much for the course Andy and Darren. I found it very useful, and the money was all worthwhile. I'm fairly new to blogging and I know enough now to be able to make an income from it. And, now I understand that it takes a little time too, just as any business takes time to build. Thanks again!

It's beautiful city in the spring and you can come around Kentucky Derby time and have a double good reason for people to come to your event. Or wait until the week before/after and make it more affordable, yet still attractive. I'll pay to hear you guys talk blogs and $$$. Darren,

If not, how can you say it was a waste of money? Perhaps you are allready a pro-blogger and are over the six figure mark,perhaps you just like to ride Darren's traffic for free? Your blog makes some pretty amazing conclusions that indicate you have no concept what the goals and deliverables of the course were. I can tell you that I took the course and I found many insights which were individually, worth the cost of the course. I also felt the course was not a get rich quick scheme, and Andy and Darren made that exact point in the first session. Being a newbie blogger, the course enabled me to get up to speed in blogging in less than eight weeks-and provided the platform and motivation for me to make a concerted effort at building a blog network that I believe will generate a decent sum. Within 8 days I have 7 domains, blogging sw installed and am blogging on a number of niche topics, so the cost of the course was probably mitigated by the time I saved getting up to speed. I think that says something about the value of the course. Luis:
