real blogging tips

Hello everyone, my name is Jeni Larson and as Forest said, I’ll be taking over Real Blogging Tips.  Not to worry, he’ll be back for frequent guest posts and he is also helping me with a few case study sites that will be shared here.  Plenty of opportunity to harass him.

Some of you already know me, or have seen me around the web.  For those of you I haven’t met yet, I’ll tell you a little about myself.  I’m known as Brilliant Jeni, and while I’m told I’m rather clever, the name is really just a nickname from my Rutgers days.  I’m originally from OC, California and currently live in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  I also have a home in Denver, and I travel frequently- in fact, one of my blogs covers my travels, but I’ll be sharing my sites with you as examples later.

I’ve been a full time blogger and web publisher since April of 2007, the best career choice I could have ever made.  It has allowed me to work for myself, have a flexible schedule, travel monthly, and make 6 figures many times over.  Best of all, it’s something I really love so I’ve been happy to spend much of my time coaching new and established bloggers.

I don’t consider myself an MMO blogging guru.  In fact, I’m still learning new things every week, experimenting, and modifying my own strategies constantly.  I can, however, say that I know enough to make $60,000 a month- my estimated income for the month of March 2010.  And, I know enough to make that on sites I haven’t touched in months.  I’m definitely a fan of passive income blogging strategies, no matter which ad network for affiliate program I’m working with.  Sorry Tim, but 4 hours a week is just too much for me!  AdSense snapshot from 2009-2010:

While MMO Blogging is definitely my forte, I’m also looking forward to sharing blogging tips on SEO, keyword research strategies, backlinking, blogging software, troubleshooting, networking… this list could go on for a while.  If you have specific topics you’d like covered, just let me know.   If you have questions, now or later, drop them in comments anytime and I’ll respond.  Looking forward to meeting you all and learning a lot-  Happy blogging!

On twitter… @brilliantjeni – send me a knock knock joke or such nonsense so I know to follow you back. 

This blog has been a little quiet recently and it’s due to me being extremely busy and the changes that I was talking about just before Christmas.

So what are these changes that are coming up?

Management of this blog and main posting duties are actually being handed over to a good friend of mine, and an awesome blogger. She is a very well qualified to offer great blogging and internet marketing tips and has been a full time globe hopping professional blogger for quite some time.

Her name is Brilliant Jeni and she is awesome. I can’t wait to see what she will do with the blog and don’t worry i will still be hanging around and hopefully doing the odd post here and there.

I passed the blog onto Jeni in October but she has been busy and so have I so we did not get a chance to get things sorted and handed over until now.

I am still regularly posting over at my Frugal Living Blog, Frugal Zeitgeist so I would love you to pop over and say hi.

Anyway, expect to see the odd post and lots of comments here on this blog. Jeni is a friend of mine and a more experienced blogger, the blog will not go down hill like many a blog that is passed on so hang in there.

Jeni will be coming by very soon to post a welcome post.

Bye bye for now,

Forest.

Ps. if you are wondering why I chose that image…. It’s supposed to represent me getting off a moving train , cheesey hey?
