As I mentioned before several times I am one of the first graduates of Yaro Starak’s Blog Mastermind Mentoring program. Search For Blogging was just a baby when I first joined the program. I improved my blogging significantly under the supervision of Yaro Starak. Let me tell you more about my short blogging history.

Those Were the Days My Friend…

I was just another blogger from Dec 2006 till Sep 2007. I was using Blogger.com. Take a look at my blog at that time : Meeting-Continents. I used to write paid reviews from PayPerPost, Reviewme, Smorty etc. with that blog. I was making $20-30 per day with paid reviews. On the other hand I was writing about my lovely city Istanbul.

Even though I was making good money, I realized that writing paid reviews was taking so much time. I had no time left for social life. I was working for a full time job, and then at nights I was chasing for paid review opportunities to write. I started to think about smarter ways to make money online before it is too late.

I was so lucky that I somehow got an invitation from Yaro Starak for his mentoring program. At that time I knew little about Yaro. I started reading his blog before giving my final decision.

How I Decide to Join?

I found what Yaro wrote on his blog very valuable. His English was crystal clear, and his posts were very informative. I decided to write him an email to know him better.

He responded very quickly, and told me more about his program. I trusted him. I decided to sign up with Blog Mastermind in August 2007.

The lessons were coming to my email address on weekly basis. Yaro wanted his students to take some action in every week. It was not a one way communication. Yaro honestly told us that there is no easy way to make money online.

When I look back, I can clearly see that what Yaro was also trying to achieve a positive mind-shift with his program. He is indeed a very good motivator and teacher.

I finished Blog Mastermind in January 2008. The program totally changed my ideas about blogging. I learned  blogging concepts from A to Z, improved my blog writing and online marketing skills, developed very good relationships with other bloggers. In addition to them, I found my role in the Blogosphere.

My Blog’s Performance After Joining Blog Mastermind

Within less than a year Search For Blogging achived a good performance after I joined Blog Mastermind:

• Technorati Rank  : 35,000 (I expect to finish the year within 20K)
• Alexa Rank           :  66,957 (End year target is within 50K)
• RSS                        :  565 + and increasing

As a Blog Mastermind graduate, now I know that it is not impossible to become a problogger if you follow a very well written road map. All you need is dedication, hardworking, and a mentor like Yaro Starak to guide you.
