Robb Sutton – Making Money Review Blogging

Within 12 months of starting his blog at mountain biking by 198, he had received over $70,000 worth of products to review and he got to keep most of it. Not only that, he had advertising and affiliate revenue on top of this, which is the so called crème on top of the pie.

Since then, he has started another blog called RobbSutton.com to teach bloggers how to make money using this similar technique and to provide motivation and blogging tips on growing their businesses. His also got an ebook called “Ramped Mindset” which shows you how to change your mindset for success. All of these are great resources and I highly recommend anyone to check them out.

In this interview you will find out:

  • What is Robb’s strategy to have brought in $70,000 worth of products to review
  • Simple ways to monetise your blog leveraging from product review and blogging about them
  • How to generate traffic to your blog when you have none
  • When is the right time to expand your blog into other markets

    Its Pleasure to go through your blog.The above articles is rather remarkable, and I seriously enjoyed reading your weblog and points that you simply expressed. I really enjoy to appear back on a typical basis,post additional around the subject.Thanks for sharing…keep writing!!!

  2. infoproservice

    I am new to Itunes and even newer to podcasts. I subscribed to a free podcast (the Couch 2 5k running podcast) and the only one that is showing up in my podcast list is the “week 9″ podcast. How can I download the very first installment?

  3. infoproservice

    Now I want to add those MP3 files to my iTunes library so that they show up in the list of podcast episodes. Just putting them in the same folder and importing them into iTunes doesn’t seem to work. Under the correct podcast it still says I need to ‘get’ these episodes.

  4. Web traffic

    I am in high school and used Adsense last year. To be honest, it is really hard, and not as easy as you think. You need to get a lot of traffic to your site. I finally got my 1st 100$ check, but that took about 1 year. It is worth a try, cause you never know, you may hit it big.

      Thanks for your comment about Adsense. I probably would say it all depends on the market you target. Also what your strategy is and how you implement it. I personally find other strategies to make money from the web such as affiliate programs and joint ventures.
