Welcome to the VBL blog!

I appreciate the comment on putting together a good set of questions. The bottom line is that ALL these people are BUSY. So, if they can give me an hour or so of their time, then I have to make sure that I get the most out of it. Their answers are waaaaaaaay more important than the questions, obviously!

Look forward to your next comment, buddy.

First time listening to your interviews, love that you take the time to really put forth the effort to ask great questions.

Great to hear the insight behind Pat and his blog, it’s crazy how much money he’s making, truly inspiring.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the comment. Yes, Pat is a great resource for online income generation.

You can expect more interviews in the coming weeks and months. Lots being planned.

Best,
Chris

Thanks Chris for sharing this and opening doors to more valuable information.

Great to have you over here, and a pleasure to be stuck in your Reader somewhere!!!

Hoping to hear more from you in the coming weeks, months…

Your comments are always very thoughtful and appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

Looking forward to reading a little more of your blog now!

Thanks for the info – and you’re right about the Guest Posts, I’ve been doing a few more than usual lately, including my ‘epic’ one on SPI, and have seen definite increases in visitor numbers, RT’s, FB mentions and comments, too!

Consider me there… I do lead a ‘virtual business lifestyle’ after all…!!!

Anyways, Florian -

In regards to a large number of followers for my blog, I think it comes from a few things:

1) Simply writing the best content I can, and having things setup so it can spread virally and I can reach more people. By virally, I mean spread through word of mouth, facebook, twitter, stumbleupon, etc.

2) Being totally transparent and not “salesy” at all. A lot of people have told me my blog is a refreshing stop in a sea of people just trying to earn a buck.

3) Always reminding people to subscribe. In my sidebar, in the middle of relevant posts, and at the end of posts too.

For twitter, I like to follow followers of people I follow. So for example. I’ll try and follow people who follow Yaro Starak, or Darren Rowse, because I know they’d be interested in what I do too, since it’s similar. The more people you follow, the more follow you back, it’s as simple as that =)

When I started my blog, i did leave a lot of comments on other blogs, but really what made my numbers skyrocket was getting featured on some big blogs. If you can’t get featured yourself, try and run a few guest posts here and there and you’ll see the same results.

I hope you enjoy eBooks the $mart Way!

Cheers!

Thanks for the comment, buddy.

I absolutely agree with you 110% – you MUST work your butt off to be able to create a more desirable lifestyle, and if its what you want – work less. Tim did it too, correct.

Great questions to Pat – hope he spins over again and answers them for you.

All the best.

Thanks for dropping by, bud – much appreciated.

There are a LOT more curtains to peel back. Stay tuned, my friend.

Even Tim Ferriss worked hard till he reached his goal earning xx thousands a month. After that you can easily work 4 hours a week I still believe that. But before that will happen you still need to work hard of course.

I have another question to Pat: where do you get this massive number of followers, not only on twitter, but also on your blog. Really that guys who want to share information with you? When you started your blog, did you participate on other blogs as well, let’s say for redirecting that guys to your own blog?

ps: I’m currently downloading pat’s ebook

I am always appreciative of the entrepreneurs that take the time to peel back the curtain just a little bit and show others the things that can really make a difference in a small business.

And thanks, too, for the kind words on the interview – you were an easy victim… er, um, I mean target, er… SUBJECT – that’s the word!!!
