My grandmother could probably rank on the front page
of Google for many terms. That’s really not difficult,
but it’s also usually temporary.
Here’s how I’ve ranked #1, #2, and #3 for my target
keywords, AND STAYED THERE!
… And it only took me a few minutes to accomplish

Another article, by my friend Yaro Starak…
Reporter vs Expert - Why Most Bloggers Are Stuck Reporting
There are basically two types of bloggers in the world -
reporters and experts - and some people perform both roles
(usually the experts, it’s hard for reporters to become experts,
but it’s easy for experts to report).
If you have ever taken an Internet marketing course or attended
a seminar specifically for beginners, you have probably heard
about the two different methodologies. Whenever the business
model is based on content, and if you blog for money then the
model is based on content, people are taught to either start as
reporters, or if possible step up as experts.
I’ll be frank; you want to be the expert.
Reporters leverage the content of the experts and in most cases
people start off as reporters because they haven’t established
expertise. Experts enjoy the perks of preeminence, higher
conversion rates because of perceived value, it’s easier to get
publicity, people are more likely to seek you out rather than
you having to seek others out, joint ventures come easier, etc…
experts in most cases simply make more money and attract more
attention.
Most Bloggers Are Reporters
The thing with expertise is that it requires something -
experience. No person becomes an expert without doing things and
learning. Bloggers usually start out without expertise and as a
result begin their blogging journey by talking about everything
going on in their niche (reporting) and by interviewing and
talking about other experts (reporting again).
There’s nothing wrong with reporting of course and for many
people it’s a necessity at first until you build up some
expertise. Unfortunately the ratios are pretty skewed when it
comes to reporters and experts - there are a lot more reporters
than there are experts, hence reporters tend to struggle to gain
attention and when they do, they often just enhance the
reputation of the expert they are reporting on.
Don’t Replicate Your Teacher
If you have ever spent some time browsing products in the learn
Internet marketing niche you will notice a pattern. Many people
first study Internet marketing from a “guru” (for lack of a
better term). The guru teaches how he or she is able to make
money online, and very often the view that the student gleams is
that in order to make money online you have to teach others how
to make money online.
The end result of this process is a huge army of amateurs
attempting to replicate what their teacher does in the same
industry - the Internet marketing industry - not realizing that
without expert status based on a proven record and all the perks
that come with it, it’s next to impossible to succeed.
Even people, who enjoy marginal success, say for example growing
an email list of 1,000 people, then go out and launch a product
about how to grow an email list of 1,000 people. Now I have no
problems with that, I think it’s fine to teach beginners and
leverage whatever achievements you have, the problem is that
people gravitate to the same niche - Internet marketing - and
rarely have any key points of differentiation.
How many products out there do you know of that all claim to
teach the same things - email marketing, SEO, pay per click,
affiliate marketing, and all the sub-niches that fall under the
category of Internet marketing. It’s a saturated market, yet
when you see your teachers and other gurus making money teaching
others how to make money (and let’s face it - making money as a
subject is one of the most compelling) - your natural
inclination is to follow in their footsteps.
If the key is to become an expert and you haven’t spent the last
5-10 years making money online, I suggest you look for another
niche to establish expertise in.
Report on Your Process, Not Others
The secret to progress from reporter to expert is not to focus
on other experts and instead report on your own journey. When
you are learning how to do something and implementing things day
by day, or studying other people’s work, you need to take your
process and what you do as a result of what you learn, and use
it as content for your blog.
It’s okay to talk about experts when you learn something from
them, but always relate it to what you are doing. If you learn a
technique from an expert it’s fine to state you learned it from
them (and affiliate link to their product too!) but you should
then take that technique, apply it to what you are doing and
then report back YOUR results, not there’s. Frame things using
your opinion - your stories - and don’t regurgitate what the
expert said. The key is differentiation and personality, not
replication.
Expertise comes from doing things most people don’t do and then
talking about it. If you do this often enough you wake up one
day as an expert, possibly without even realizing how it
happened, simply because you were so good at reporting what you
did.
You Are Already An Expert
Most people fail to become experts (or perceived as experts)
because they don’t leverage what they already know. Every person
who lives a life learns things as they go, takes action every
day and knows something about something. The reason why they
never become an expert is because they choose not to (which is
fine for some, not everyone wants to be an expert), but if your
goal is to blog your way to expertise and leave the world of
reporting behind you have to start teaching and doing so by
leveraging real experience.
Experience can come from what you do today and what you have
done previously; you just need to take enough steps to
demonstrate what you already know and what you are presently
learning along your journey. I know so many people in my life,
who are experts simply by virtue of the life they have lived,
yet they are so insecure about what they know, they never commit
their knowledge to words for fear of…well fear.
Blogs and the Web in general, are amazing resources when you
leverage them as a communication tool to spread your expertise
because of the sheer scope of people they can reach. If all you
ever do is talk to people in person and share your experience
using limited communication mediums, you haven’t much hope of
becoming an expert. Take what you know and show other people
through blogging, and you might be surprised how people change
their perception of you in time.
Reporting Is A Stepping Stone
If your previous experience and expertise is from an area you
want to leave behind or you are starting from “scratch”, then
reporting is the path you must walk, at least for the short
term.
Reporting is a lot of fun. Interviewing experts, talking about
what other people are doing and just being part of a community
is not a bad way to blog. In many cases people make a career of
reporting (journalism is about just that), but if you truly want
success and exponential results, at some point you will have to
stand up and proclaim yourself as someone unusually good at
something and then proceed to demonstrate it over and over
again.
Have patience and focus on what you do to learn and then
translate that experience into lessons for others, and remember,
it’s okay to be a big fish in a small pond, that’s all most
experts really are.

Today at 9am CST, I’m interviewing Pat Hicks on my
show at: http://BlogTalkRadio.com/WillieCrawford/

he shipped a warehouse-full of computers to devalued

Pat rebuilt his life, his credit, and several businesses,
and now teaches others to do the same.
Now Pat teaches people (like strugging internet marketers
with less than sterling credit) how to rebuild your credit
score.

David Preston And Willie Crawford
A week or so ago, I sent out this note:
How I Consistently Rank #1 At Google In A Day For Free
Yesterday, I did an interview with David Preston where
I spilled the beans on my secret technique for getting
ANY website indexed by Google in less than 24 hours.In the process, I shared how I consistently rank #1 for
many of my keywords, often in an hour or two, and
consistently rank on the first page… or at worse 2nd
page of Google, within a day.David is now running a Warrior Special Offer, offering
the audio recording of that interview for only $5. Since
it’s MY tactic that he shared, I insisted that I be able
to tell my friends about it too.You can check out the MP3 of David and I here:
http://WebsiteSearchEngineOptimizationSecrets.com
That note triggered a RASH of copycats on the Warrior
Forum.
The thing is, most of the methods that they share will
get you a temporary front page listing. So, I convinced
David to add to his report my secret technique for making
sure that your listing STAYS on the front page.
David gives just one example in his report that was in
the #1 position at Google a week ago. Now, it’s in the
#1 and #2 positions. I also own the #3 position on
Google’s front page for the term… and it’s a term
that shows 34,700,000 results.
If you haven’t checked out David’s report, do so today.
He’s planning on raising the price… SUBSTANTIALLY.

Today, you’re going to be absolutely bombarded with emails
about John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2.0 Course. It launches at
Noon EST, today
I was given early access to the material, went through it and
do highly recommend it.
In fact, I wrote a brand new, step-by-step course on how to
build a viable online business that will actually provide you
with enough income to live on… just to offer as a bonus when
you get the course through my affiliate link.
I’ve worked frantically to finish up that, easy-to-follow,
virtually-foolproof course for the last 2 weeks. It’s now in
the hands of my editor/proofreader.
As soon as I get it back from her, I DO plan on offering that
$397 course as a bonus when you get Traffic Secrets from me.
That may be later today, but knowing my proofreader/editor,
it’s more likely to be tomorrow. She’s a perfectionist, and
since I’m not, she’s also just what I need on my team
Anyway, you can read all about my bonus here:
http://TrafficSecretsBonuses.com
As a side-note, when you Google the term: Traffic Secrets
Bonuses, that site ranks #1… at least it did a few minutes
ago. That was deliberate and I teach you how to do that in my
new course
My post’s subject line promised to tell you how to get immediate
traffic, and that this secret would only cost you $5.
What I actually want to recommend that get, and immediately
put to use, is an audio interview that I did a week ago, where
I revealed…

You can get the MP3 of that interview, from the guy who
interviewed me, here:

You may have heard that John Reese is on the verge of
releasing Traffic Secrets 2. I do encourage you to check it
out. John has a really nice video, that contains information
he could have easily sold for several hundred dollars at:

If you do decide that Traffic Secrets 2 is for you, I am going
to be offering a special bonus of a step-by-step course that
will take you from identifying a niche, to getting a website
online, to getting that website where it’s actually earning
a steady dependable income each month.
I’ve had a number of clients and friends ask me to teach them
how to just “keep their heads above water” while they learn
all of the other internet stuff. That’s what this course is
designed to do. That course will be offered as a bonus with
Traffic Secrets 2, but I will also make other provisions for
you to get it.
That course will be offered at:

July 15th, but I still have a lot of work to do on it
