Highlights of the Underground Blogging Secrets Interview With Mavis Nong

In this interview, we’re going to pick Mavis’ brain (with her permission, by the way) to peek behind the scenes of Mavis’ blogging business to learn ‘what’s working today’, blogging secrets for success, new short-cuts, tips and tricks that we can take action to lift our own businesses off the ground to where it we want it to be (at the top).

Mavis, tell us about you and your blogging start-up story

Absolutely! I’m a full-time internet marketer, working from the comfort of my home, around my two beautiful daughters. I’m really grateful for this opportunity – to be able to spend quality time with my family and to have the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. It’s priceless.

I started blogging back in June 2009 and I didn’t know what I was doing back then. I heard that I needed to have a blog for personal branding, but I didn’t have the knowledge and skills. It was all new to me but nothing much happened as result. I managed to post regularly but I was getting very little traffic and zero comments. So, in July 2010, I decided to take matters into my own hands and started learning as well as focusing on making my blog a success. Why?

I realized that a blog can be a very powerful marketing tool that you can use to attract targeted and unlimited traffic, if you know what you’re doing, that is (laughter).

What advice would your give to a beginner blogger looking to make money blogging; what should they avoid or focus on?

The first thing that you shouldn’t do as a blogger is to pitch your readers – a big turn off.  Some to the things that you can do to turn your blog visitors into customers include:

1. Opt-in form can be used to capture your visitors’ contact information so that you can build relationships and market to them.

2. Your visitors are likely to buy when you share the results that you’re seeing by using marketing products and tools.

3. You can offer services on your blog such as blog setup (one of the services that I offer), SEO, copywriting etc.

Turning your blog traffic into massive profits is one of the things that most bloggers struggle with. There are different options that you can implement to make real money every single month, using your blog and those are all covered in practical steps and details in the “Underground Blogging Secrets”. In the fourth video of my course, you will learn in details over 20 different blog profit strategies.

If you had to start all over again from scratch, how would you rebuild your business blog tomorrow and all you had to do it was less than a 100 dollars and your present knowledge and experience (and no list, no contacts, nothing)? What would your first 30 days of activity look like?

I’m glad you asked that, Stella. Incidentally, the “Underground Blogging Blueprint” is my personal short-cut blueprint to get any blogger from any level, from zero to hero in 31 days. For the sake of time, I’ll share just some of my 30 days to blog success plan – readers can get my day by day, detailed, full blueprint with videos and more in the “Underground Blogging Secrets”.

So in answer to your question, if I were to start all over again, with what I know now, in 30 days I would:

• Join a blog commenting tribe/forum
• Post frequently
• Work on my On-Page SEO
• Be in the Right Niche
• Guest posting on bigger blogs

Mavis, if you’re starting a new blog, knowing now what works and what doesn’t how long could you realistically take to get your first 1,000 unique visitors to a brand new blog?

Realistically speaking, 31 days.

To get 1,000 unique visitors to a new blog in 31 days, I would use the same strategies I shared above PLUS all the ‘Underground Blogging Secrets’ in my new course. In fact, I dedicated an entire module to teaching blog traffic and promotion – the exact, same steps I used to take my blog to Page Rank 4 and under 50,000 Alexa ranking in only 8 months. I also taught how I get tons of comments on every single blog post, including the famous over 500 comments to my Famous Bloggers contest entry. Inside my “underground blogging secrets”, I shared tons of blog traffic generation strategies.

Talking about blog promotion and commenting, in the Famous Bloggers Blogging contest, your entry simply amazed everyone – over 500 comments and so many Tweets and Facebook shares in a few days. How did you do that?

Simply put, if you want to receive abundantly, then you need to give endlessly. If you don’t leave comments on the other blogs, then don’t expect a whole lot of comments to come your way. When I got started in blogging, I expected people to leave me comment, but I didn’t do the same for others. Things changed when I started visiting other blogs and expressing my thoughts.

About my my Blogging Contest entry, I bought books on blog promotion and I implemented every single thing that I learned from the books. I also asked people to help me. This worked out well for me as I have a large following. So, my networking efforts really paid off in a big way.

There was a lot more that I did to achieve that much reach for my contents. I taught the same, exact strategies I use in one of the modules in the “Underground Blogging Secrets”.

Tell me, what is that single biggest mistake that you’ve learned the most from? What would you do differently today?

Don’t try and do everything yourself! Delegate and outsource! I learned this the hard way.

I have always believed in doing everything myself but I later realized that it wasn’t smart to do that. With blogging, I only outsource the technical side of things, everything else, I do it myself.

What would you say are the 3 biggest time wasters most bloggers engage in, that you would advice a newbie blogger to stay away from if they must achieve blogging success as fast as you did?

There are a lot of time-wasters that most people struggle with:

1. Social media sites – can be a huge distraction and even an addiction for others.
2. Emails – if you check your emails every 5 minutes, then you’re eating up a lot of your time.
3. Reading blogs – Yes, it’s good to read other blogs and leave meaningful comments. However, if you overdo this, you’ll find yourself spending almost the whole day reading one blog after the other.

Now let’s peak into your ‘can’t do without tools’. If you must go on a 60 days trip to an island and you are allowed to take with you only 3 of your business tools, what would those be?

Wow, I would love that! (laughter). It would be my laptop, my mobile phone and my journal. I can’t do without them – literally!

At this point, you have mentioned the ‘Underground Blogging Secrets’ a lot in the course of this interview. Can you tell us more about it,who it’s targeted at and how to get copies?

Sure. The good news is that have recently launched my very first blogging product called Underground Blogging Secrets. It’s my complete zero to hero success blueprint where I taught everything and everything I have learnt and know about blogging from A to Z.

Underground Blogging Secrets is for beginner bloggers who are looking to get their blogs off the ground. It’s also for the intermediate bloggers who want to increase their traffic, leads and sales.  So, go there now and grab your own copy and start implementing!

With the Underground Blogging Secrets, you have all the strategies and tricks to build a top rated and profitable blog faster than I did.

Stella: Excellent. I bet our readers would be eager to know the price of the ‘Underground Blogging Secrets’ and how to get it, Mavis?

The price is really affordable – for $27 you get full, immediate access to this blogging course. Some people said I was nuts to charge this low price, but I wanted everyone to able to afford to get their own copy.

Stella: That is really affordable, Mavis. I could have said that you’re crazy to give away all that much at that price as similar blogging courses go from $40 and above but again it’s all for good – more bloggers building on a budget can afford it at this price.

On this note, I just want to say thank you so much for your time, Mavis Nong, and for just really openly sharing so much information here. I know I got a lot out of it. I think everyone reading this now enjoyed it. I just want to say how much we appreciate you. Thanks again for that.
