Blogs Under the Radar Sep 21
This week’s blog started in June 2007. You might think that it would not have that much information, but it is a goldmine. I literally could list his whole site as being part of my favorite posts. I almost didn’t want to write about it so that I could keep all the good information to myself. His name is Derek Beauchemin and he is a 21 year old Internet marketing whiz. His blog is Derek Beau . I know when I was 21 I didn’t have this much knowledge even on partying.
Redesign
He just did a redesign. It looks clean and professional. I like the header and footers. The top posts and subscribe buttons are perfectly placed. It’s not full of ads. It’s just full of content. Navigation is easy and intuitive.
Strengths
Alot of online Internet gurus write blogs that read more like a memoir. There is so much fluff in their blogs that my allergies start acting crazy. All a reader wants is helpful information and examples. It’s time to unsubscribe to those dinosaurs and get some real content. He covers Internet marketing from Affiliate sites to niche blogs. The posts are long and detailed. You can follow his steps and start your own empire. He even has a good post on buying websites. The question answer sessions are good ways to cover different topics.

Suggestions
E-book
It’s time to harness the content. Create an E-book of his best posts and add a exclusive real life example from start to finish. What should he charge for it? Nothing. Give the book away for free to subscribers of his feed.
Review
It’s time to at least get a good review from a site with traffic and authority. I’m not saying that he should pony up the $400 for John Chow. I do think it would be a net profit. But go to Cashquests and get one for $80. He does a through review and is gaining authority so right now it’s a huge bargain.
Check it out and subscribe. Don’t worry, you can thank me later.
Hey, thanks for the feature!
I like your ebook suggestion because I was definitely planning on making one or more in the future. I don’t think I would write new content for it, just do something like John Chow did and organize a bunch of posts into one comprehensive guide.
And about the review… I did order one from Cash Quests a while ago when the price was only $50
Keep up the great work. It’s only a matter of time before you are the new Shoemoney.
