Introduction: an eBook about Blogs and SEO

This book outlines strategies and techniques that can help you Start a Blog and Quit Your Job. By combining blog and search engine optimization techniques, you can generate significant traffic and rankings, which can then be parlayed into earnings.

The first part of the book is my story, about my journey from starting a blog to quitting my job. I have learned a lot of things along the way. I will share with you the strategies, techniques, and thought processes that I used. I will explain how I combined Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques with blogging to produce a virtuous cycle of increasing rankings and traffic. Finally, I will tell the story of how I went from blogging to self-employment -- how I was able to parlay the rankings and traffic into a money-making business.

The second part of this book crystalizes the "Start a Blog, Quit Your Job" approach into 10 steps. You can use this step-by-step guide to put my strategies into practice, to start your own blog(s) and start building up traffic, links, and rankings -- eventually parlaying that into revenue generating activities. Each step includes important tips and techniques that combine blogging, SEO, and more.

You can start and blog and quit your job. I have done it, and I am sure others have also done it. I am sure there is more than one approach to achieving this. In this book, my goal is to show how I did it, and share with you the strategies and techniques that I used along the way. You can implement my approach in your own journey. It may not be easy, it will require good ideas and probably a lot of work. If you are willing and ready to put in the effort, you will be able to use this book as a guide toward increased traffic and revenue.

By the way, this book is not just for people interested in quitting their job or starting their own businesses. For those people who may already be self-employed, who may already have web businesses, the strategies and techniques described below can help you boost traffic, rankings, and earnings significantly -- taking your business to the next level. Hey, if I was able to use these techniques to boost a TV Show fan site to 7,000+ visitors per day -- for a TV series that ended 7 years ago -- then there must be plenty of opportunity to use the same techniques to significantly boost your traffic and earnings.
