Blogging… Dead, or more relevant than ever? @YaroStarak Answers!

Blogging. Is it dead, or is it still a viable business strategy?

For the mighty goal of answering the question above, I’m joined by Yaro Starak. Yaro is one of the most famous bloggers out there, and has branded the term “live the laptop lifestyle”. Over the years, he has helped thousands of people launch successful businesses. All of which, had a blog as their core.

Yaro consistently makes $10-40K a month from his blog, which is now set on auto-pilot. Starak still puts in a few hours a week into it, but even when he doesn’t – business continues as usual.

  1. Hi Meron I admit I was reading my email this morning when you’re headline caught my attention. I like the commentary style of podcast. It gives me a preview of what to look for when Yaro was speaking so I can zone in. A shorter format is good. I find a lot of time similar genre type of podcasts go on too long and I zone out. This whole topic of blogging and building an email list if something I’ve not been too successful at so I’ll probably listen to this a few more times as it is a goal for this year. In the meantime, I’ve built up a decent income using teaching platforms and stock footage video platforms. I’ve done this with a very small audience. I don’t believe you’ve covered this before so please feel free to reach out if it is something your audience would be interested in as it is true passive income.

  2. Meron and Yaro!
    Once again, invaluable advice from the people who have “been there and done that”. Yaro, it is awesome that you freely give away such important, practical and valuable advice on Meron’s show. Excellent skill list and how to get unstuck…..because we all get stuck from time to time.
    Thanks!
