Today I am launching one of the latest features of my blog, that is sure to quickly become one of the most popular. You may have noticed on the SOB homepage a box titled ‘Free Blog Reviews’, well the funny thing is, that I put that over a week ago however I got zero entries – seemed like no one was interested in getting their blog reviewed for FREE (what is going on there?).

I decided to take my new feature to the StandOutBlogger family and sent an email to my list (scroll up to subscribe) letting them know about the offer -  and got 11 entries (not bad for the first one!)

However there can be only one lucky blogger each week so if that wasn’t you then head over to the “Free Blog Review” page and put your entry in for next week!

This weeks Stand Out Blog is:

BloggingElements.com

Mike, the owner of BloggingElements.com captured my attention with just one short sentence.

If you are not willing to be criticized you probably are not willing to do what it takes to be great.

As soon as I read this I knew Mike was serious about creating a ’stand out’ blog, and helping bloggers achieve that is the goal of StandOutBlogger.com. So without anything further, let’s take a deep look at BloggingElements.com and if you as readers have anything to add at the end, Mike would love to hear your comments!

If you don’t know who Michael Dunlop is, then I am sure you will be starting to  hear about him a lot! For the last couple of years Michael (only 20) has been running RetireAt21.com and has turned it into an extremely influential and profitable website, but in recent months he has turned his attention to a domain that he actually purchased from me for $100, IncomeDiary.com and turned it into a $5,000 a month blog in just 3 short months!

This effort is incredible in itself, but the thing is, that he has done all this, while showing you exactly how to do it yourself. A bit confused? Let’s take a look inside IncomeDiary and highlight a few of the things that Michael has implemented in the process of building this blog so quickly into the profitable blog it is today.

First a quick disclaimer: Michael is a personal friend of mine, and has been a fantastic mentor to me. So this may or may not affect the bias of this post :D

What Is Income Diary?

Income Diary is basically a blog with two main focuses, inspiration and action. Michael constantly inspires you with a mixture of interviews with successful Internet entrepreneurs and lists of big money makers online.

Then calls you to action with his free 7 day course that takes you through the exact steps you need to follow to create your first successful blog! As well as that, there also happens to be a fantastic forum that already has over 2,000 members.

I just received an email from a good blogging friend of mine, David Risley. If you haven’t heard of David, He runs a $10,000 a month blog over at PCMech.com and also has a blog about blogging at DavidRisley.com.

This guy doesn’t just talk the talk, he has been blogging for over 10 years now! That is a long time, but who wouldn’t want to be making $10,000 a month – just from blogging?

The reason I am telling you about this, is becuase in the email that he sent me, David let me know about a free ebook that he has  just written called ‘The Blogging Wealth Gap‘ (Click To Visit).

Not Another Ebook About Blogging!

Now I know what you are thinking, ‘Another Ebook About Blogging’, but this one really  surprised me. ‘The Blogging Wealth Gap‘ is all about monetizing your blog (and David obviously knows his stuff there).

David notes that a lot of bloggers do not make good internet marketers – which is why they never make any money! (Are you in that  category?)

Download The Blogging Wealth Gap

In fact the equation he puts across is this:

SOLID BLOGGING + COMPETENT MARKETING = LOTSA MONEY!

This ebook is definately a ‘mindset changing’ ebook, and has made me consider how I run StandOutBlogger.com.

If you are serious about making money from your blog and not Charity Blogging (another concept David discusses in his ebook) then head over and grab this fantastic free resource.

David has even more resources on they way and I am really excited, because David is one of the most ‘no-fluff’ type of bloggers I know. And  what he has got to share is definately worth learning (because I want to be a $10,000 a month blogger).

If you are serious about montizing your blog, I definately recommend that you download The Blogging Wealth Gap.
