I’m already part of this course, and it is very helpful. It starts you off from the basics and then slowly builds you up towards the top :)

Went over and checked out the authority site. very impressive and I like the information put out. I think I’ll add it to my daily read list.

Just as the Darren-and-Chris team made for a well-rounded blogging book, Chris’s new Authority Blogger course is a great balance to the usual run of ‘how to blog’ courses and information out there. Honestly I feel that I’ve already made more progress towards my next project goal – just in wresting with the first couple of exercises alone – than in the last five years of blogging. Can’t wait to see where the next lessons will lead!

Building your profile is a key ingredient to be successful. The more people know you are trust you the more they are likely to buy from you which means the more money you are likely to make.

I just signed up and while the course is incomplete at this stage (as you said in this post) I think I’ve already had a few ‘light bulb going on’ moments while interacting with the content already covered and look forward to the rest of the course. The forum looks like it’s going to be a very useful part of the deal also – I find that being a part of small communities of people that are paying to be a part of something like this means you end up with some really motivated and enthusiastic people that are great to work with on one another’s projects.

Also, I’d say that it’s refreshing to be a part of a course that is less about making money ‘directly’ from your course (to use your terminology Darren) and that focuses more upon how to ‘indirectly’ make money ‘because’ of your blog. This was always my goal with my soon to be launched blog so some intentional training on the topic will be fantastic.

This is a great opportunity to learn from the best. And even better, Chris Garrett is an all around nice guy. :-)

The course is impressive, even in its very beginning stages. If you’re serious about blogging, you won’t want to miss the chance to get this at a discount. But be warned, it’s not about how to best place those adsense units. You will be learning how to market yourself, and build you and your blog into an authority.

Sounds like a great way to build a strong foundational web presence. I’ll be interested to see the finished product.

I reviewed each bullet and learned a lot just from the list of things I should have done before starting out!

I have recently published quite a few corporate blogs and relate to each step mentioned above. Thanks for the tip on this new resource, I appreciate your quality content and stellar referrals Darren!

Awesome! I’ve been in contact with Chris on the Hive at Performancing. I’m building authority in my niche (Personal Development & Lifehacking) and I can’t think of anyone I would rather have mentor me than Chris.

I think this is a great idea. Too many times all we focus on is how much we can make from advertising. Often, though, the effects of the authority we build so far outweigh any revenue from advertising that advertising becomes irrelevant.
