This review is on WordPress Goldmine (aka WPGoldmine) by Mark Thompson who owns and runs the Income Academy. In case you're in a rush, the short version of my review is this: if you want to know how to make money from your WordPress blog, this book probably has everything you need. Go get it.

Here's the slightly longer version…

It's not often that an ebook is produced which makes all other books on the same topic redundant or almost useless overnight, but when WordPress Goldmine was released that's pretty much exactly what happened.

Mark's ebook takes an in-depth look at not just the nuts and bolts of putting up a WordPress site, but also the different kinds of sites you might build, depending on how you choose to monetize them.

It also gives you live examples showing exactly what Mark does when he uses the formula himself, which is one thing that helps to make this ebook stand head and shoulders above the rest. Also, something that might make this book even more attractive to you, is that those people who have already used it (you'll find them in the forum) have found it extremely easy to follow.

In section one you look at different ways of building a WordPress blog, plus the steps you need to take in order to get your blog up and running in the shortest amount of time possible. Also this section has some bonus videos, which help you to understand the whole process from beginning to end.

Section two of the book explains about the different kinds of content you can use in your blog. In this bit Mark covers everything from using PLR articles to your own original content. You also find out how to have unique content posted to your blog regularly and completely for free, which will help you to build your blog in super quick time.

Of all the sections in the book, it's probably section three that is the killer as far as I am concerned. In it, Mark clearly explains the different ways which you can monetize a WordPress blog. However, it may take a bit of time to work through this section. In it, Mark reveals detailed information on how he himself made a $15,000 income through just one blog post!

Not only does he explain how he made money himself but also shows ways in which you can make money with your blog offline. There are plenty of products out there which claim you will be able to make huge amounts of money in just 30 days, but for most people this is simply not realistic. But, by following the plan laid out in this book you could be realistically earning an extra $1,000 a week after only a few months.

When you get to section four, you'll be shown the various ways to promote the sites that you have built. There's a very easy to follow diagram and a full list of the sites which can make the difference between your success or failure. Of all the sections, this is probably the most important – very rarely do successful people reveal details of their traffic generation system, especially one which anyone else can easily master.

Section five of this book helps you take your sites to a completely different level and compete more effectively against any competitors. Some people, especially beginners, might find this section a bit challenging at first. Mark does include several warnings at the beginning of it that you need to have mastered the previous sections before you move on to this one.

To finish up, the book has a grand total of 110 pages, and I can confirm that each one of them provides value for money. It doesn't matter whether you're complete novice or have been doing this stuff for a while now, I guarantee you will find the information inside this book useful.

WordPress Goldmine is a quality product, and I like the fact that it's written with a commonsense approach rather than hype… probably one reason why I rate it so highly. I'm just hoping that other internet marketers (we all know who they are) pay attention and start to do likewise.

If you really want to start earning online income through affiliate marketing then I strongly recommend you grab a copy of WordPress Goldmine today. By the way, I understand Mark is putting the price up shortly, but you know what? It will still be worth it whatever he decides to charge.
