The result of all the work I have done is where you are now, BiziMums … it should be called BiziParents as you don’t just have to be a mum to use the information I have put together for you.

BiziMums is a collection of genuine opportunities for starting an online business, with little or no start up costs. I would like to point out that what I do is called affiliate marketing, which means that if you use any of the services that I recommend then I may receive a commission or referral fee. But the important thing I want you to know is that I ONLY ever recommend services that I am actually using myself. And I figure if you are happy with the information I put together for you, then you are probably going to be happy to use my referral links or affiliate links. If that is not the case then don’t miss out on the services I use just because they are a referral link, you can always go directly to the websites of the services I have recommended. They can easily be Googled!

One of my favourite ideas for starting an online business is an online T-shirt business, you can start this for completely free and don’t even need a website. Most other bizi ideas require at least a domain name and hosting which will cost you about $75.00AUD, and sometimes it is worth buying a resource like an ebook to further your knowledge. But overall I call show you how starting an online business is not only possible it is fun, cost effective and easy.

Your input on my site is so important as your feedback helps me deliver the information you are looking for, so be sure to leave comments and remember this site is for ‘newbies’ so there is no such things a dumb question.

I recently went down to my local printers with a copy of the Learn How to Build and Sell Niche Blogs ebook (kindly donated to me by author Michelle Adams) on my USB stick as it is 203 pages and I wasn’t printing it at home. So while I was at it I got a nice folder for it too, turns out it was a good choice.

When I was at the Ed Dale 30DC Home conference in February I met Michelle and was very excited about it because I had already been successful at selling 4 websites in the fashion that she teaches. Keep in mind that I have been building websites for at least 3 to 4 years now. So when I came across Michelle’s book I was very keen to read it as I knew it was going to be something that the BiziMums readers could really benefit from. So here is my review, whilst I consider Michelle a friend these days (even though we’ve really only known each other for about 2 months) this review is impartial and I do tell you what I think of each module.

Learn How to Build & Sell Niche Blogs

By Michelle Adams – VRedVoice.com

The book is set out in 6 modules that are all very logical and extremely comprehensive. They are based on a real life example from go to whoa … the only thing we don’t find out in the end is how much she sold the example site for !

Module 1
This module covered keyword and market research, the thing about online research is that there are so many factors to take into account and every guru has their own style of teaching it. Whilst I thought it was a little light on for explanation for a total newbie, it was still very thorough. Given that there are mountains of information about market research freely available in the internet it was probably a good idea to not bog down in it. After all the main purpose is to get you building and selling your niche blog site in the shortest amount of time possible. But I will say the way Michelle taught it was even an eye opener to me, extremely simple and intuitive.

The module moves onto content creation, I have to admit I learnt something here and didn’t expect to find a section on Human ReWriter in a book like this.

Module 2
In this module Michelle covers how to set up your hosting accounts the right way … you can take this advice or ignore it, you will still be able to do this type of business, but my personal experience has been that you are better off doing it properly from the start, it just makes everything else flow more smoothly. While the example uses Hostgator as the recommended host, you already know I use and recommend JustHost, they offer the same services, are cheaper and charge in Aussie dollars.

The next stage covered is the fun part where you install WordPress and start to see your business project come to life. Surprisingly in this module topics like permalinks structures are covered, normally they are confusing for a newbie but Michelle’s simple description and imagery throughout the example case make this a non event for a newbie builder.

Module 3
I picked up some great tips and have made a mountains of notes by this stage and I was only up to about page 40!

Some new tools are introduced throughout the book and in this module Colorzilla is introduced, this tip alone will save me loads of work when I am making graphics or building websites. I usually take a screenshot and drop it into Photoshop then work out the colours etc, but this tool allows you to do that straight on any webpage. Especially useful in Michelle’s methods of teaching as she covers extensively the way she themes a site to be the most aesthetically appealing.

Another tool introduced is one I use all the time FireBug, I will just quickly make one point and that is Michelle makes the assumption you are using FireFox and I would heartily agree that if you aren’t using it you should be, I use Flock a version of FireFox, this tool is useful whether you are planning to sell your site or not.

By this point I am thinking that this book is amazing with the detail even if you aren’t planning to build and sell niche blogs, if you just want to build a blog for your own use it will seriously help you.

This module focuses on one particular theme template, if you have any experience in building WordPress sites then you could easily adapt this information to your own personal favourite themes. The depth of detail related to how to customise colour schemes is quite impressive. A tutorial us given for another new tool I had never used before and will suit anyone with limited knowledge of graphics and doesn’t own a copy of the popular but expensive Photoshop. Very quick and easily you will learn to create a customised header image for your new niche blog.

The details could be mistaken as being overwhelming but it is actually a very simply step by step explanation all the way throughout this book.

Module 4
Show me the money … as you can gather this part of the book is about monetization and how to place banner ads and to find secondary digital products to add to your money making plans. At this point I am impressed with the theme used in the example, I have never used WooThemes before and it looks easy to use. I personally have a favourite set of themes by Studio Press.

The addition of an Amazone aStore is covered in detail and adds another level of monetization and service to the potential buyer.

Module 5
Probably the most exciting part of the process, the sale. In this module the sales process is explained, this is also the most nerve racking part since each sale is like an eBay auction where you get to watch the price go up. Michelle discusses strategies such as hold and develop or go straight to market for sale, for those choosing to sell immediately, it is discussed how to optimise your sales information for achieving the best possible result.

There are plenty of strategies for managing bids and bidders questions throughout the auction process, as well as managing the payment process and how to ensure you get your money quickly.

Module 6
Probably the scariest part is the handover or site transfer. If you follow the book to the letter up to this point you will be in the best position to have an easy handover. This is the most technical part of the book but is very well illustrated. Obviously with different levels of experience the difficulty will vary but for most people this will be an exciting learning curve especially with the guidance of this book.

In Summary
If I had written this book I would be very proud of myself, of course there are things I would have written differently but that is just because there are many ways to ’skin the proverbial cat’ and as someone who has had success building and selling websites I think Michelle’s strategy/method is excellent particularly for the novice.

I am also very excited as I have probably mentioned a few times now, because I know there are so many BiziMums who are going to really benefit from this book. At the modest investment in your education of $57.00 you will have no trouble starting a work from home business like I have done.

Oh I nearly forgot two important bonuses, the first being that included in this price for a short time is the free access to the VRed Vault, a private forum dedicated to providing support to all owners of the Learn How to Build & Sell Niche Blogs eBook. And the other bonus is a 60 day 100% money back guarantee … but I know you won’t need that!
