I’m a busy gal. I’m not only trying to blog for a living, but I also have a few more things going for me. One of my top problems is that I love to create. Writing and painting and putting up a professional looking site. It’s all very time consuming. It gets even more time consuming when you enjoy it, which I do. Hopefully, this will be the most of my troubles.

Do I make money off of all that I create? I’ll be completely honest; I rarely measure time put into a product vs. ROI. Is that completely stupid of me? In the short term: yes. In the long term, however, I think I’ll have a good line of quality products.

What does this have to do with Yaro Starak’s Blog Mastermind?

Good question. Starak blogs for more than material gain. Sure, many of us begin in the pursuit of riches, but end up either continuing or quitting all together, because we are (or aren’t) getting some kind of psychological satisfaction, out of it.

In Starak’s last report, he emphasizes patience. He actually does this all through out Blog Mastermind, as well. And that was one of the most important lessons I’ve learned:

quality content + patience = long term success

(Cute huh? ) Point is this: If you’re planning on making a quick buck then Yaro Starak’s Blog Mastermind just isn’t the program for you. Blogging, like any other business takes time and patience and yes, some hard initial work. (How you automate later is actually a different business model all together and Starak does, in fact, touch on that, pretty early on.)

Is it worth the time it demands?

Twenty-seven lessons in 27 weeks, that’s about 7-9 months and the price isn’t completely insignificant. I’ve already accounted for all the reasons (all emotional ) why I bought into this program and was willing to invest much more in it than I would have in any other product. So let’s talk about the program:

Starak is the furthest from being a miser. The Blog Mastermind program is all-inclusive. The lessons will be sent straight to your email in both audio and written form. There are tons of additional resources, like interviews with other top bloggers and marketers, including Darren Rowse from Problogger, Brian Clark from Copyblogger, Andy Wibbels and others. Also on the audio list are interviews of Starak himself, by other Bloggers, which is surprisingly just as poignant. A lot more where that came from, like video case studies and the forum. It’s a very robust program.

In my personal opinion, the blogging business model needs much cultivation over time. In about seven months time, if you do everything right, you’ll finally see some substantial traffic and maybe even some profits. If you expect to be making a full time income, you’re highly optimistic. However, with Starak’s guidance, you will be closer to that goal than without him. The real beauty of it is that if you’ve just started, Blog Mastermind is a real step-by-step guide, and within 7 months you will have time to really absorb all these lessons.

Yaro Starak as a Teacher

Here’s the thing: There are many products out there, and the creator’s main idea is to teach. Most substitute teaching with simplifying. This doesn’t produce good results. It usually creates a gap in the student’s knowledge, and since this material is to be implemented and its results tested, a feeling of dissatisfaction may arise. Starak is a natural-born teacher, explaining tough concepts, as cleanly as possible, understanding that cutting them up into little bits is very effective. In fact, this serving-one-bite-at-a-time method is a signature Starak teaching method.

Starak’s shines in his audios; Sometimes speaking freely, and sometimes literally reading off a page, he is always to the point. When he speaks freely, he will affectingly share a personal anecdote, thought and even a fear. Some tend to ramble on, but Starak really touches on personal issues that all bloggers go through. A true Guru.

Will I make money?

The bottom line, and rightfully so. Yaro Starak’s Blog Mastermind Program will equipped you with all the tools you need to make money blogging. The program support system is excellent and is intended to keep you satisfied for the long term. If you remember that the learning process won’t make you money, but its steadfast implementation will, then I have no doubt you’ll make money with Blog Mastermind.

Starak does create a great affiliate opportunity with his affiliate program. It’s a recursive income program, which in point of fact, allows you to implement one of his most important lessons: Affiliate yourself with good products that will create a long term income. Thus Blog mastermind can truly make you money.


Great teacher, to the point lessons at the right pace, worth every penny and then some.
