Just announced today - April 9, 2008. 100 lucky people are going to learn How to Make Money with Blogs with superstar money-maker Vic Franqui of Blogger Unleashed.

Vic will set up the blogs the way he likes them set up (read the way that works), and also set the blogs up with affiliate links and ads. This way you know it will be done right.

The contest runs from May to September and the blogger that makes the most money will win a trip to BlogWorld in Vegas.

At the end of it all, we will all have 100 different case studies showing us the ins and outs of how to make money with blogs.

Go check out the video BlogWorld & New Media Expo 2008 Contest at Youtube.

Blogger Unleashed is the web site of Internet Marketing Mogul Victor Franqui who blew on the scene last year and quickly created a stir as he took to dispelling the myths of self-professed blogging gurus and to taking the shine off some of the over-hyped golden bloggers of the Blogging for Money A-list.

Seems what they have been telling us is all wrong!! It's not the the way to make money with blogs at all.

Don't waste your time chasing Stumblers - they don't click on ads. And don't use Text Link Ads unless you really don't want anything to do with Google - the largest search engine there is.

Check out his site now - you will be there for a looooong time. Vic and his smarts are addictive.

You need backlinks to your site. Vic, Griz and Court all agree. Their ain't no doubt.

And now open in Beta and accepting visitors is Qassia specially built to give out backlinks.

Join now. They have a PR5!!!

I just did and am off to learn all about it.

It stands to reason that people of like minds will find each other...and start hanging out.

And thus Victor Franqui found Griz Brears and Courtney Tuttle and together they make up a magic triumvirate of rebel Blogging Money Makers.

Why rebel? Because they challenge the so-called A-listers beliefs on how to make money with blogs, and have their own very different ideas on how blogs make money.

Each blogger has their own preferences. Griz blogs on blogger.com and makes tons of money without spending a cent. Vic likes BANS (buildanichestore.com) and hosting his own Wordpress sites and has a black hat background. Courtney's game is clean and he prefers keyword sniping and Niche Marketing.

What's really sweet about these guys is the way they help each other out by referencing each other's blogs often, and you're in for a good laugh when reading their comments where good-natured ribbing abounds.

Vic and Courtney are also biz partners having started Blogging Zoom, a social networking site that encourages you to submit your own pages. Check it out now. Blogging Zoom

Check out all three blogs - you'll get a well-rounded training, and some choices on techniques that suit you best.">

Ok. Here's the crazy thing. I emailed Vic minutes ago I asked him why he recommended a reseller ($25 a month) over a shared account that hosts unlimited domains ($8 a month.)

It took him seconds to answer back. Is that guy always on the web? hehe. So am I.

He said that if one of your sites all of a sudden gets really popular and becomes a server hog - the hosting company shuts down your whole account. That means all your sites will go down.

That's not good. Especially if these are your bread and butter. No sites, no money.

That won't happen with a reseller account. Only the offending site goes down. You're still in business.

And so - there you go. That's some mighty good advice.

Oh and he also said "it is what it is."
