At the beginning I thought to name this post “How to make $59 000 in 6 month by guest blogging”. But I decided to name it “Pretty Awesome Mentor” cause this post will be basically about Jon Morrow and “pretty awesome” is his favorite phrase. (Like it seems many people use it now, and it annoys and teases me). “Pretty awesome” is so stupid, so american and but I couldn’t resist to mention it, although it’s not the best way to start this blog post.
Firstly I thought to write critical post about Jon. Well, may be it’s because of impression I got after watching his latest webinar. I got no new information from it and the mood of that discussion was quite promotional. After telling some basic things which he already told before (i.e. in this short video on his site’s home page) and after mentioning some success-stories, Jon told that he is going to become a mentor for everyone who is interested. The course will involved videos, webinars, and some personal work. The price is only six $99 payments so that would be only $594 in 6 month. The amount of people whom he can assist as a mentor is only 100. So multiply 594*100 and you get $59,400. Almost $60, oooo – pretty awesome – isn’t it? Especially if there is not so much work involved. And I’m also critical about different money-pulling programs would it be cash catchers or google snipers or guest bloggers.
Secondly, why I was quite critical is that for me such course won’t provide any value. I think it’s better to learn on practice and all the necessary tips are available online in free access. Moreover I know people who are more experienced and knowledgeable in this are. These are all those whom Jon mentioned in his webinar and many others. Actually I consider Ann Smarty the best specialist in guest blogging. A lot of authors wrote fantastic and helpful guest posts, but she went further and became creator of best guest blogging community – My Blog Guest. Following Jon’s idea that it’s necessary to know important people in blogging. I completely agree! And MyBlogGuets community allows even for the newbies to find friends and blog to accept their posts! And it’s better to spend $20 to become PRO member there than to apply for any of online courses available. With PRO membership you can use article gallery and with it – it would be even easier to promote your web-site with guest blogging.
Going back to the title of this post. After some critical words about Jon and his proposition I would like to add good ones. Those who never heard about Jon – it’s better to read his article on problogger. The most fantastic thing is that despite his disease, Jon became successful. Firstly I thought that may be it would be bad to write any critics toward him, but I don’t want to treat him like a charity case (he mentioned that he doesn’t like people to treat him like this). That’s why I decided to critic his pretty awesome services from a point of advanced guest blogger. But we all have something new to learn. From Jon you can learn the power of character and the power of concentration and dedication oneself to guest blogging. So I won’t say Jon Morrow is a bad mentor, he is pretty awesome mentor, even great mentor for newbies. But not for me.
