Blogging Tips: Confessions of a Six Figure Blogger Book Review

For a more personal spin in field of blogging, you might want to take a look at Blogging Tips: Confessions of a Six Figure Blogger. It’s a new book (Amazon Kindle & Paperback) written by Blogging Tips guru Zac Johnson and in it, he provides all kinds of useful information about how to get into blogging and what you need to do when you get there if you want to be a “six figure blogger” yourself. Let’s dive in and have a look at this new book.

A Story of Blogging Success

Zac is not new to the Internet. He has been making money online for over 15 years and he has been blogging professionally for a little over five years. While there are some connections, he recognizes there are differences too.

And that’s how he chooses to begin Confessions of a Six Figure Blogger. Available as an e-book for Kindle,Blogging Tips starts with a bit of a personal story about how Zac got into blogging in the first place, expanding beyond Internet marketing and online advertising into content creation by way of ZacJohnson.com.

There are many opportunities available to you and Zac wants to stress that you can “become an authority in any niche.” By way of blogging, Zac has been able to create a brand, build a business, and expand his international presence by way of appearances at conferences, as well as on ABC and FOX News.

What Can I Expect to Learn?

While Zac’s personal story may be of personal interest to you, there’s a better chance that you’d rather learn how to emulate his success and put six figures into your own bank account.

As you dive into Confessions of a Six Figure Blogger, you’ll find that the progression is natural and logical. He starts by talking about what you need to know about blogging, like why blogging is the future of the Internet and branding. He then talks about the steps that you need to take to go live with your blog, as well as many of the critical monetization methods that you need to employ.

If you’ve read other books on the subject, like Make Money Online: Roadmap of a Dot Com Mogul, then some of this material will feel familiar to you. Even so, Zac offers a fresh perspective and it’s all laid out in an easy to understand and easy to follow manner. If you’re new to blogging, then this e-book is even more valuable. While it is extensive, it is also easily digestible.

Actionable Items You Can Use Right Now

One thing that struck me about this e-book was that it was definitely on the text-heavy side of things. There really isn’t anything included by way of graphics or visual aids, but these aren’t really needed for the most part anyway.

What Zac does very well is explain what may otherwise be some esoteric information about how to blog successfully in more of an everyday language. More importantly, he doesn’t talk too much about what would work in theory or the about the philosophy of blogging. Instead, he provides directly actionable items.

In the chapter with 10 must-dos for serious bloggers, as an example, he stress the importance of having a great logo created for yourself, for your blog, or for your brand as a whole. He also suggests some logo creation services that he recommends, as well as the typical pricing from these designers. It also helps that, along the way, he also links to some of the blog posts from his archive that you may find useful and relevant.

How Much Does It Cost?

Considering the wealth of information contained in this book, you’re probably going to be surprised by the price. It’s available now in the Kindle Store for just $2.99. That’s less than five bucks and you get nearly 100 pages of incredibly useful, easy-to-read, and actionable knowledge about what it takes to be a six figure blogger. Remember that you don’t need to have a Kindle to read Kindle e-books; there are Kindle apps for PC, iPhone, iPad, Android, and several other platforms. Go get it. This is well worth more than the three dollar asking price.

How To Copy From Right Click Disabled Websites

Copy-pasting some body else work is very common. Though, very few people actually give the credit link or mention about the source. Specially, in Blogging people copy each other content and increase plagiarism. Apart from all Auto-bloggging tool, most common form of copying a page is by selecting text > mouse right-click and copy the content. Though in WordPress, we can easily disable this by using disable right click WordPress plugin. Though according to me right click gives a bad user experience and for Bloggers, you can always fight such copy-paste blogger using Google DMCA.

Now for me, when I have to write a tutorial, I take information from the pages on Internet and give proper credentials with link in the post. Now, the problem which I have faced recently is many of these sites have right click disabled and it’s pain to copy from these sites normally. So, here I have compiled a series of possible ways to copy content from those pages. FYI, many websites disable CTRL +C options to ensure better security from hackers and malicious sites.

Ways to copy text from Right click Disabled pages:

Most of the bloggers and webmasters uses JavaScript technique to disable right-click, to prevent scrapers sites from stealing their content.

Many times we often come to websites where we found contents useful like how-to , Guides and we copy it into worded or notepad. Generally we select some text and then right click to copy. But on Protected sites a message box appears saying “Right-Click on this site is disabled. Hold Ctrl key and click on link to open in new tab”

But there are numerous way through one can copy contents from Right Click protected sites

• Simplest Way
• By disabling browser JavaScript in browser
• Using Proxy Sites
• By Using the source code of the site

Simplest Way

Visit that webpage.

Press Ctrl+S on your keyboard.

Save the webpage anywhere on your computer.

Now open the downloaded webpage. You can copy or you can do anything.

Enjoy !

I think this is the easiest step.

Disabling JavaScript in Browsers [Google Chrome]

In Chrome browser, you can quickly disable JavaScript by going to settings. See the screenshot for better explanation:

Goto Setting >> UnderHood Tab >> Content Settings

or enter  chrome://settings/content

Then Select Do not allow any site to run JavaScript

Similarly if you are using Firefox, you can remove the tick from “Enable JavaScript” option.

Using Proxy Sites

There are many proxy sites, which let you disable JS while browsing. All you need to use those proxy sites, which offer such features and you can quickly use right-click on click disabled sites.

If you have to copy the specific text content and you can take care of HTML tags, you can use browser view source options. All the major browser give an option to source of the page, which you can access directly using the format below or by right click. Since, right click is out of question here, we will simply open chrome browser and type: view-source: before the post URL Like

• view-source: http://latestwindowsapps.blogspot.com

And find the paragraph or text you want to copy and then paste it into any text editor.

Well, using this trick ethically or unethically is in user hand but for a normal blogger like me and you, this tip will certainly help.

School Is Out, Porn Is In - Protect your children using internet filter software

Parents, take heed. Summer means fun and sun for young people, but there could be a dark side to all that free time. Is your teen home alone? Are the computers in your house protected from porn sites? Unfortunately, it’s possible your students are finding sexually explicit material online that could hurt their emotional, spiritual and even physical health.


According to TopTenREVIEWS Google Analytics data reveals a dramatic increase – indeed a 4,700% jump – in searches for the term "porn" in the days immediately following the end of school for most students. While falling short of scientific proof, it's a strong indicator of what many youngsters may be doing on their summer vacation.

There could be many explanations for this dramatic change in numbers, but there is no question it coincides with the time most schools get out.

Since parents are busy and cannot constantly stand guard over computer use, a little electronic help might come in handy. Internet filter software can offer some reassurance to parents that their children are protected from material that parents deem objectionable.

The internet filter software on the market today allows parents to block websites and chat rooms that parents deem inappropriate. This software can do much more including such things as filtering emails, monitoring social media sites and sending parents email alerts if someone using a computer is accessing objectionable content.

Academic studies have shown that young people who are exposed to sexually explicit material before age 18 are more likely to become promiscuous, get pregnant, test positive for a sexually transmitted disease and engage in forced sex.




Nothing takes the place of heart-to-heart talks between parents and children about values, human sexuality and the things that are considered healthy, respectful and worthwhile according to a particular family’s principles.




However, internet filter software can shield children from images, language, videos and other depictions of behaviors that are contrary to the parents’ standards. It could be another tool to help parents get involved in the already complicated task of trying to raise healthy, well-adjusted children.




Dr. Mary Anne Layden, director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program,
Center for Cognitive Therapy in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania, is the author of “The Social Costs of Pornography: A Statement of Findings and Recommendations.”




"There is evidence that the prevalence of pornography in the lives of many children and adolescents is far more significant than most adults realize, that pornography is deforming the healthy sexual development of these young viewers, and that it is used to exploit children and adolescents,” Layden wrote.




How does it deform them?


In a telephone interview, Layden said academic studies show that there are 23 unhealthy behaviors that people exposed to "sexualized media" before the age of 18 are more likely to display. These can include a greater likelihood to have sex earlier in life, have multiple partners, engage in forced sex, test positive for Chlamydia, be more accepting of sexual harassment and become juvenile offenders.


“Are any of those things the kind of things we want for our kids?” Layden said. “My own research shows that pornography is mis-education about sex. It lies about sex.”


For example, she said pornography shows that women love to be degraded and violently hurt, which is not true in real life. It also depicts men as vicious, narcissistic and out of control – which is also not true, she said.


“This is hate speech against men and hate speech against women,” Layden said. “It sends the wrong message about people, relationships and functions. Porn doesn’t say anything about love or commitment or caring. It also doesn’t say anything about producing children.”


The blunt-talking and often controversial Layden said she tells parents, “You’ve got to say to children: ‘There won’t be any porn in this home’” and then take strong measures to keep it away from impressionable youngsters.


“It’s good to talk to the kids, but I think prevention is 100 percent better,” Layden said.

What is Internet filter software?


Schools and businesses can easily have dozens of computers operating at once, with many or even all of them providing Internet access. Wherever Internet access is available, there’s always the possibility that members of an organization may visit websites you’d rather they stay away from, as well as the ever-present threat of the Internet being used as a tool for Cyber bullying or sexual harassment. With the abundance of inappropriate material available online, such as pornography, games and gambling, it can be a challenge to effectively filter and limit access to those sites.




With Internet filter softwares you can 

Block web sites in more than 70 categories, including pornography, gambling, drugs, violence/hate/racism, malware/spyware, phishing

Force SafeSearch on all major search engines

Set time restrictions to block web access during designated times

Configure custom lists for "always allow" and "always block"

Override a web page block with password

Trust the enhanced anti-tampering, even children can't break

View easy reports to monitor and control web activity

Real-time categorization of new adult and malicious sites
