Before you start any serious blogging it might pay you to read some of the top blogs from some of the professional bloggers. I’ll mention just three in this article. But their blogs will give you lots of information on blogging which is priceless.

Yaro Starak is one of the Blogging Guru’s you should take a good look at. He has several sites devoted to blogging. These include:

http://www.becomeablogger.com/ -If you are new to blogging this is the place to go. There you can watch a video on how to set up your first blog and create your first post.

There is also a FREE Report Blog Profits Blueprint that you can download and read and begin to understand how Blogs can make money.

http://www.blogmastermind.com/ -This is Yaro’s site for his Training Program which is full right now but you can subscribe to be notified when he opens the course up again.

http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com – Here is another site from Yaro. This one concentrates on Blogging as a business and has lots of informations on how to do this. But read the article “How to Write Great Blog Content – The Pillar Article”.  This is one of the secrets to successful and profitable blogging. He mentions “Flagship Content by Chris Garrett and “Cornerstone Content” by Brian Clark also bloggers you should take note of.

Blog Pulling Power – Creating Flagship Content – This is one of Chris Garretts’ Blogs. He talks about flagship content, which is the same as the Pillar Articles mentioned by Yaro. Chris describes flagship content as “Is there anything that you could point to that your blog really owns? It could be a single post, a series of posts, an over-arching “message”. Now think about your favorite blogs. I am sure you go back to these blogs because of good quality regularly updated content but is there also a reference or series that you can refer to again and again?”

http://www.CopyBlogger.com is one of Brian Clark’s blogs you must read. You can also get the article “How to Create Cornerstone Content That Google Loves”. Take a look around the rest of the Blog too to find great content.

You should spend some time on reading everything these three guys write on their blogs. It is free education but more than that they will show you by their example how to create really great blogs. 

Brian Clark’s closing paragraph really puts it so well -

The first goal of cornerstone content is usefulness and relevancy to the website visitor, no matter how they arrive. The second goal is to make that content so compelling and comprehensive that people are willing—no, make that excited—to link to it.

Are you beginning to get excited about the possibilities of becoming a professional blogger like these guys?

By the way the Crap Detector doesn’t even register a reading with these guys.
