I had the Conversion Blogging video transcribed into a text document for people who prefer to read.

You can grab it right now as a free PDF download from here (right click “save as” to save it to your computer).

In case you can’t remember, the Conversion Blogging video explains my system for combining blogging with a traditional email marketing system to create a $100,000+ Internet business.

Grab the transcript and you can read all the details, but of course if you want to actually see my examples, you need to watch the video (which is still free).

Update: Jack from VidSummary.com has also put together a summarized version of the Conversion Blogging video. He’s stripped out the best bits so you can consume what you need quickly, however he does charge $7 for the summary. You can take a look here.

With the success of Blog Mastermind I’m in need of someone to help with the editing and production of audio files. This role includes -

1. Taking the raw recordings of teleconferences, audio recordings and the audio component of videos, and editing them into a production level MP3. This will include adding intro and out-tro music, balancing the volume of voices and minor edits to remove unnecessary words.
2. Coordinating with transcribers to have text versions of audio and video created.
3. Uploading files via FTP to the host server.
4. Minor page creation with WordPress to add files to membership areas.

The person right for this job must be speedy with email communication and have enough sense to edit audio files without needing supervision.

If you know how to use Audacity, GarageBand or any similar audio editing programs this might be the job for you.

The job is a contract role and pays by the hour. Expect anywhere from 1 to 20 hours per week, with significant fluctuation. I’ll also include access to my membership sites for the person who gets the job.

If you are interested I have a test file I’d like you to edit and if I’m happy with your work, we will continue.

Please send applications via email, include your name, location, age, what audio editing skills and experience you have and your experience with WordPress and HTML/CSS, to supportAtblogmastermind.com

Thanks!

Yaro

Let me begin by thanking everyone who signed up to Blog Mastermind. In 24 hours we already passed the 200th member and more people keep joining every few minutes.

I’m presently working with my team to deal with initial hiccups with the order process and that’s why I’m writing this post.

If you joined Blog Mastermind and are yet to receive your welcome pack email please make sure you email supportATblogmastermind.com

Please forward your payment receipt if you have it available and we will send you a form to manually create your membership account.

So far about 5% of people got lost half way through the order process, so I want to make sure everyone gets what they paid for.

Blog Mastermind Is Still Open

Blog Mastermind is still open and if you want to join the 200+ people who have already become members, please sign-up here -

I just sent this notice to my email newsletter. Sorry for the copy and paste below, but it’s a little busier than usual today at Yaro HQ and I think you need to know about this too, in case you are not on my newsletter.

If you haven’t joined Blog Mastermind yet, I have good news, I’ve extended the deadline on the bonuses to all members who join within 24 hours of opening. You have until 10 AM Eastern USA time, Wednesday July 30th.

You can sign up at the link below and as long as the clock is before that time, you qualify for the fast-action bonuses -

http://www.blogmastermind.com/coaching/

Here’s my explanation for the change…

I said I would update you on the status of the fast action bonuses you receive if you joined Blog Mastermind today and were one of the first 100 people to do so.

Unfortunately I didn’t think we would get to the first 100 so fast - we made it there shortly after lunch time, after a 10 AM start. That was quick and I’m thankful we have so many great new students in my program.

However, what this means is that all of the people on different time zones to where I am presently (Toronto, on Eastern North America time) never had a chance at the bonuses. They woke up, got their email about Blog Mastermind opening, and were already too late.

I’ve already had one person from New Zealand complain about the problem.

Now, as an Aussie myself (I know I sound like a strange Hybrid-Aussie-Canadian - blame the parents for that one! - I was born in Brisbane, Australia), I totally understand what it is like to miss out on things because of the time difference.

So, because of this and because I’ve realized it’s crazy-hard for me to figure out exactly who made the top 100 cut-off I’ve decided to make the deadline a full 24 hours from when the doors opened.

My email system has a time stamp on all emails, so as long as your order confirmation comes in to me with the time stamp within that 24 hour period, you qualify for the bonuses.

That gives everyone a chance to join and qualify for the bonuses, no matter where on this planet you are.

As a reminder of what bonuses are on offer, you can see them here - Fast Action Bonuses Breakdown

If you are reading this and it’s not yet 10 AM Eastern USA time on Wednesday July 30th, then you can still make it.

This is the link to sign-up -

As clarification, Blog Mastermind remains open and does not have a closing deadline. You can join when you are ready after reading all about the program at the order page. It’s only the fast action bonuses that have a 24 hour cut-off.
