I have been contacted by several people in the last few months for reviews on various hosting services and make money online products. I’ve declined many because I really don’t feel comfortable writing about something that I can’t even sample, or when I do sample it, feel that it doesn’t meet up to the expectations the sales pages’ set for it.

The Blogging Income Guide Course is by someone who I have been following for awhile now, and is well know by several people that I fully trust. As a disclaimer, I was not paid for this review, although I did receive a few chapters to sample as a part of my research for the review.

The links to the products mentioned below, however, are affiliate links. Since I feel the following course would be valuable to many of my readers who are interested in making money online and will provide what is advertised, I fully support it as I do other affiliate products I mention throughout my site such as the 31 Days to Building a Better Blog and Thesis.

Personally, I like to get to know the people behind a product before I purchase it. So before jumping straight into what it is all about, here is a little about the creators of the Income Blogging Course.

Sales Page Summary

Now, if you’re like me, you want to get to the nitty gritty of the sales page. So here it is! There is a lot of great information on there, including course details, testimonials, and what you should get out of the course. Here is the shortened version.

With the thousands of plugins available in the Wordpress Plugins directory plus those who are not yet listed, it practically becomes too gruesome to find those plugins that really work. Certainly, there are many useful plugins available that extends Wordpress functionality as a CMS.

CRM Integrates with WordPress

Salesforce recently rolled out a WordPress plug-in geared at adding new functionality to the way your blog handles contact forms called WordPress-to-Lead. This plugin integrates with Salesforce CRM (customer relationship management software) in pulling out data from the contact forms and lets you track interactions and sync with Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook and more. It also allows you to manage and organize your contacts and lead information in one place, eliminating the need to keep track of your leads from your inbox to CRM.

In other words, WordPress-to-Lead is a free plugin that allows you to create contact forms and publish them to your WordPress site or blog. With this plugin, you can turn your WordPress site or blog into a lead generation machine.

Being a blogger is easy, but being a successful blogger is another story. Here are some things that define bloggers who will achieve success with their blog.

1. Bloggers Take Action

Successful bloggers are always ready to take action, avoiding any form of procrastination as much as possible. Successful bloggers don’t just go and read and read and read until their head is no longer ready to accommodate again – they implement as they read. They don’t just follow what others say because others said it, but they are always ready to take action in order to be successful. Successful bloggers avoid as much procrastination as possible and instead focus on achieving success by implementing what they learned.
