Content Is Not The King, Traffic Means Nothing, And Ads Are Not A Blog Monetization Plan

There you have it. If you want today’s interview with Dino Dogan in a nutshell, the above title will give you the major points.

According to Dino, “there is nothing worse than writing a blog post that nobody reads. Triberr solves that problem for bloggers by developing a community of sharing and support with other bloggers.”

Triberr is a new and better way to grow your blog’s readership. It’s better because it connects like-minded bloggers who are interested in reading and supporting each other. This core community, or Tribe, is the secret to a successful blog.

One Wednesday, a few years ago, somewhere in New Jersey, Dino Dogan had a realization: He’d been studying how to get more traffic to his blog for quite a while; consuming everything he could read about it. But the more he read, the more it became clear to him:

It Was Too Little, Too Late!

Dino IIP011: How To Get More Attention To Your Blog And Make Your Fans Insanely Loyal, With Dino Dogan

Dino Dogan

Dino perfectly understood the “science” of link building, PageRank and website authority, and the roaring power of social media. Because of that understanding, he knew that in a competitive niche with well established megawebsites — his blog didn’t stand a chance. Not with the tools that were available back then.

Blogging Tips 101

As Dino saw it, all bloggers needed to do in order to rank well and get a lot more attention, was:

  • Publish A LOT of content.
  • Have TONS of backlinks.
  • Become a brand that Google respects (demonstrated by being given a higher PageRank, for instance).

The problem was that as the blogosphere was changing. With the rise of social media, no one was linking anymore. Everyone was now sharing via Twitter, Facebook, etc., so it became very, very hard for small bloggers to build (or earn) enough high quality links. As to publishing a lot of content – could you seriously compete with the amount of content that is published on Huffington Post? NY Times? Forbes? (Yeah, that’s a bit of a radical competition to pick on, but any blog that’s a tenth as active as any of these will be a huge undertaking).

And as to becoming a brand – the best way was to publish a lot, get as many high quality backlinks and shares as possible. Which for a new blogger on the block – was almost impossible.

Building A Successful Blog (What if…)

What if. That’s how it all started. What if bloggers could share their audience with some other bloggers from the same niche? By doing that, they could get the attention of the audience of their colleagues and have a lot more content to share with their own audience, who were easily consuming more content than the bloggers had to offer.

What would be the compound effect of creating such a tribe of bloggers?

This is what was on Dino’s mind that Wednesday. So he sat down and started searching for such tool, “surely someone came up with this idea already!”, he thought.  But… No such tool existed. So Dino, born & raised in Bosnia who came to the USA and found work as a network engineer, and spent the last seven years teaching computer geeks how to become bigger computer geeks, found a new position: co-founder. Dino pitched the idea to his friend Dan Cristo, and by the next Wednesday, Dino and Dan where on the same Triberr tribe, sharing audience and content.

Solving The Next Big Problem

As press print was invented, knowledge became more accessible than it ever before in human history. People could suddenly afford access to books. In the late 1990′s, with the rise of platforms like WordPress, Blogger.com and others, the gate to publishing was opened for the first time. Today, anyone can start a blog, a podcast or publish a book on Amazon. It’s no longer a small closed clique of the very fortunate.

As Dino sees it, the next big problem is allowing anyone who wants to publish to get attention. Evidently, this is the biggest hardship for almost all bloggers. This is the mission behind Triberr.

Hitler, Apple and Insane Loyalty

In the second part of the interview, we discuss a subject that has been fascinating Dino and is the ultimate challenge for any business owner: Creating insanely loyal fans.

This is where Dino’s studies of Theology come into play, and make the discussion somewhat controversial. Dino claims that there is a lot to learn from religions and cults when planning your online (&offline) presence. Dino actually gave a fascinating speech on this subject at the New Media Expo in Vegas, where I first heard him speak.

Check out today’s interview to find out more about polarizing, social status, isolation and mythos – for examples of how these tools are used to affect us in our day-to-day life, and simple examples of how you could master some of them, and combined with tools like Triberr – create true focused attention to your brand, business or website.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How Dino went from songwriting and blogging about dog training to founding Triberr?
  • How can small bloggers get more eyeballs on their content.
  • Triberr’s ultimate goal.
  • Why Triberr is considered a big secret among the successful bloggers.
  • How a small blogger can compete with big sites like or big media properties?
  • How to create insanely loyal fans?
  • What is polarization and how can it help you succeed?
  • How does giving status to your followers (this could be users, members of the site, customers, or employees) help you with succeeding in your business?
  • How do you apply these tools in blogging, magazines or podcasting?
  • What is the importance of isolation?
  • What Dino decided to wear for this interview (caution… you might not wanna know!)

How To Create A Successful Business Out Of Thin Air With No Previous Knowledge

At the heart of The Foundation’s success is Dane Maxwell and his passionate belief in reviving the Great American Dream.

Starting out at the young age of 21 years, from his parents’ basement, Dane created a successful six figure business, followed by more success stories. While it may sound like any entrepreneurial tale, what is remarkable about Dane’s is the fact that he did not have any winning idea to base his business on. He, literally, created successful enterprises out of thin air!

In a unique exclusive interview with the podcast, Dane shares some of the Foundation’s best kept secrets to inspire a whole new generation of aspiring entrepreneurs.

How To Find Good Product Ideas For a Business

Dane Maxwell The Foundation 294x300 IIP 010: How To Create a 6 Figure Business With No Risk And No Idea With Dane Maxwell

Dane Maxwell

The most basic human desire, is not to be loved; it is to be understood, says Dane. This core concept is the underlying principle of ‘idea extraction’, a multi-tiered process that Dane uses to figure out what any line of business really needs as a service.

The process is all about finding a real pain — and solving it. It’s done by interviewing target customers in a specific process, and asking them specific questions that lead them to reveal their pain, their business problems. Once you understand their problem, it’s incredibly easy to suggest a solution for them. More than that; according to Dane, they will beg you to build it for them. They will be angry if you don’t take their money and create the solution you’ve just described.

Dane Maxwell’s Idea Extraction Questions

What made Dane’s interviews on Mixergy and Smart Passive Income incredibly popular was the sharing of some of his ninja-questions that he teaches his students at The Foundation, and that have helped him create multiple successful software businesses for himself. But on today’s episode, you’re not only getting access to one ninja-question that he never revealed before in any previous interview (!!!), but also get to see Dane in action; when he flipped sides and became the interviewer, conducting a LIVE idea extraction session on the show.

After the interview, Dane asked me to send him a copy of the audio so he could share it with his paying students. That’s how valuable today’s episode is, and I hope you’ll make good use of it! icon smile IIP 010: How To Create a 6 Figure Business With No Risk And No Idea With Dane Maxwell

In this episode you will learn:

  • The 12 phases of Dane Maxwell’s Idea Extraction process.
  • How to tap into an endless source of product ideas for new businesses.
  • Dane’s parameters for picking a target market.
  • The 4 key elements that Dane looks for in a business.
  • Why should you sell tools instead of digging for gold?!
  • How to find ideas about business that can be done at home.
  • How to approach people for idea extraction & where/how to find them.
  • How to sell a product that doesn’t yet exist <<< — HUGE!
  • A LIVE Idea Extraction session that was ultimately shared with Dane’s students.
  • How to use Google to approach prospects.
  • Why you need to collect money in advance from your customers, and why this might unveil the real crucial problem your customer needs solved.

Interview with BlogWorld & New Media Expo CEO and co-founder; Rick Calvert

My guest on episode 9 of the Inspiring Innovation Podcast, shares a real-life story of turning a grand idea into reality. In 2005, Rick Calvert started a personal blog sharing his views on state politics, a subject he’s personally passionate about.

As time passed more and more people were reading his blog. Internet-famous bloggers started mentioning him and linking to his site. The ball was rolling. Then, someone contacted him asking to advertise on his blog.

When someone offered him money, Rick realized there is a bigger opportunity in his hobby and decided to “go pro”. Since he worked in the trade shows world, the first thing that came to his mind was finding when the next blogging trade show takes place; so he could come down, network, meet people, and learn more about making blogging his main business.

“I Knew What I Was Looking For… But None Existed”

Rick Calvert, co-founder and CEO of Blogworld New Media Expo

Rick quickly found out that there was no such trade show anywhere in the world in existence. So he asked around, first his blogging friends if such thing would interest them, and then his trade show peers, asking, “do you think it’s a good idea?”

They all did. So Rick had his validation, and set to work. Only he was already holding a full-time job, so this became his second job. He worked a full work week at his day job, and clocked over 40 hours each week building his dream trade show. Two years later, it was launched in the greatest trade show city in the world – Las Vegas.

Today his show brings together thousands of people from 50 different countries, creates new businesses and new opportunities, new partnerships, and helps content creators make more money, get sponsored, and build a better business.

What Rick And I Talked About

Today’s interview tells the story of the creation of BlogWorld and New Media Expo, sharing a real life entrepreneurial story of turning an idea into reality, but also packed with tips and advice to bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers and other content creators who seek making a business and a living out of it.

In this episode you will learn:

  • What is the New Media Expo (NMX)?
  • What is the number one thing that Rick Calvert took away from this year’s event.
  • What is the social media revolution and what role is the New Media Expo playing in it.
  • How the New Media Expo’s event started.
  • What is the New Media Expo’s ultimate purpose and goal?
  • How Rick turned an idea into a reality.
  • What adversities and risks Rick faced while bringing this event into existence?
  • What are the benefits for attendees at NMX?
  • Common mistakes and misconceptions that Rick sees.

How To Become A Bestselling Author By Watching TV

Today’s guest on the Inspiring Innovation Podcast is Sean Platt. Sean has revolutionized electronic book publishing over the last two years, became bestselling author several times on Amazon and most importantly — is making a living from something that he truly loves doing. Without formal writing education, Sean is an amazing example of innovation.

His first book was rejected by the publisher. That’s where most writers stop, but for Sean it was only the beginning. He immediately went online and opened a blog where he started writing. Through that blog he met  his business partner David Wright and together they created the Collective Inkwell —  the home of their collaborative work. They adapted the business model of TV series such as ‘Lost’, ‘The Walking Dead’ and other series to digital books. Specifically speaking – creating episodes and seasons, and releasing on a weekly schedule.
