Become A Blogger: Doors Closing
I just heard from Gideon Shalwick and Yaro Starak that they are closing their doors to their popular Become A Blogger Premium course.
So far, over 850 people have signed up and the course has already had some raving reviews. But now, Yaro and Gideon want to close the whole thing down since it’s becoming a bit too popular.

Huge Discounts on OIO Publisher
I am a customer of OIO Publisher. OIO is, in short, a banner ad management platform for Wordpress.
If you are looking to make some money with your blog, OIO Publisher is an awesome system to tack onto Wordpress and gives you the systems to manage ad inventory from within the confines of the Wordpress control panel. It allows you to sell anything from banner ads, in-content ads, paid reviews, text ads – even custom items like your own information products. You can also divide your blog into different zones, all with unique ads and pricing. It provides full stat tracking. You can even set up your own affiliate program so others can refer and sell your ads.
When I purchased OIO, I paid $47 for it. But, a couple days ago, I got an email from them that they are providing special coupon codes that will give steep discounts.
