🎉 Happy 2024! I don’t know what 2024 has in store for us. But what I do know is I’m bringing my A-game to 2024 and I’m going to make it incredible. What are you bringing to 2024?
Happy new year, Ricky and Income School. I'm actually working on a digital product. I can't wait to finish and see how well it does. Lots of good ideas from the 10-day product course in project 24 and that has helped me make lots of changes and I'm growing in confidence as I get closer to launching this product. Oh help me Lord 🙏 😀
I started my blog in 2021 after watching this channel and others and what Riki said is thrue, it is very low to start and run a blog. And it is also hard and fun and frustrating all of the things together. I am trying not to quit it bc as they always say if you stop you wan't have any succses.
Income school is more than just a course; it's a complete community of people who are all dedicated to helping you achieve your goal. They also have a Discourse Forum that can answer just about any question, frequent Zoom calls with staff, and two community-only podcasts. I highly recommend them if you're thinking about starting a blog or a RUclips channel.
Have you ever done a video showing the exact or even approximate amount of revenue and profit that you earn across everything blog related that you do? (Blogs owned blogs acquired,, Project 24, YT channels, etc.) You guys have been around for a very long time and it seems like you have a plethora of businesses inside hustles going even just those related to blogging. For someone like me and probably many in the audience, knowing what type of success that you have achieved and are currently experiencing would be really helpful. I know for some this is quite personal information, but I guess I have a different mindset I'm always open to sharing. If you're open to sharing as well that would be great, if not I get it.
We do have a good email marketing course. I believe it to be pretty comprehensive, but I suppose that depends on your perspective. It walks through all the steps to get started, gather emails, create a lead magnet, and run promotional email campaigns. I'm sure there's more that could be added but it's got everything you need to be successful with email marketing.
Where on earth are people getting this "blogging is dead" thing from? lol. As long as the internet exists, blogging could never be dead. I do agree that if you do write, your content should be excellent however. One can't write about any ol BS and get ranked as easily as before. Even with AI, you still need to spend time to polish up the page and add elements that will want to make the reader read it and keep them a little on the page.
You can use Cloudflare CDN for free. Therefore no cost. Their cache is also free. Keyword tools are unnecessary and typical so wrong the data is not only worthless but harmful.
That's not really helpful. Hosting costs can increase dramatically for larger blogs. You don't want to use the same hosting for a blog having 100 users per day or 20.000 users a day. Nowadays, security and backups are a big thing. I don't talk about a fine art blog. However, if your topics or views are controversial, you should have a VERY sophisticated backup process (and a good lawyer).
Imagine clicking into a video just to write a comment trying to crush people’s dreams. 🙄 Blogging is NOT dead and I and so many others are proving it. But yeah, if you quit then your blog is absolutely dead. ☠️
@@IncomeSchool Sorry, but you built your business(es) way before this current Google Algorithm. Even a year ago it was relatively easy to rank if your content was good. Now, the current algorithm heavily favors large sites and sites with lots of backlinks, at the expense of smaller niche sites. (I buy, test, review, compare all my products and make my own photos, yet I'm getting outranked by (large) sites with thin content and no hands on experience. Before the updates I used to rank pretty good) I already wonder, why you don't even mention these algorithm updates, not even the HCU. I wonder why? Instead most of your videos have become ads for Project24, your own theme or affiliate products. (which has its place, but back then when Jim was still around, I always enjoyed your videos and I always learned something new) Blogging is not dead (yet), but it has become a lot harder, due to Big G's greediness, especially if you're not from an english speaking country. I'm sure you still can become an authority fast with Social Media and RUclips, but not everybody is suited to make videos, just like not everybody is suited to write helpful and extensive in depth articles.
@xDomGrox I’m sorry but I have talked about the HCU updates already numerous times. It’s actually getting really hollow sounding when people say I’m ignoring them. When I say I’m showing right now that blogging isn’t dead, it’s because I’m doing it right now, not just years ago. Also, remember that when you first watched our videos, much more of the information we were teaching about blogging was brand new to you. Now that you’ve been doing this for years, things that are new and novel to someone else don’t seem quite so new to you. You’ve changed. You’ve grown. That’s a good thing. But I promise you that there are still valuable lessons in these FREE videos that I make for you almost every week.
Good point about the products costing the most, flipping stuff you review can help alleviate those costs. Along with the website itself I also basically have an active Ebay and local marketplace business going to buy/sell the products I cover, something I wouldn't have considered before starting out.
In some cases you can even make money this way. I did a review of 15 high end gaming routers and sold each and every one of them after reviewing them for 20% higher than what they cost new. I sold them as pre-configured and pre optimized for gaming. I did not realize how many people wanted to buy these.
🎉 Happy 2024!
I don’t know what 2024 has in store for us. But what I do know is I’m bringing my A-game to 2024 and I’m going to make it incredible. What are you bringing to 2024?
This year I am workinghard, I've set aside most of my freelance work and I am concentrating on my boys and youtube channels.

Nobody wants to start a blog in 2024. Guess it's the perfect time to start mine.
Winners see opportunity when most people see scary change
No, it is not.
I started my blog in 2021 after watching this channel and others and what Riki said is thrue, it is very low to start and run a blog. And it is also hard and fun and frustrating all of the things together. I am trying not to quit it bc as they always say if you stop you wan't have any succses.
many thanks for this video, just goes to show how practical the move we are making is . Lets make it happen

Great video Rickey 💯💪🏽

Nice save in the post-production process on the count there ;)
Had to make some cuts. The video was too long. So the count changed in post.
hello ricky
does project 24 has comprehensive email marketing course ?
We do have a good email marketing course. I believe it to be pretty comprehensive, but I suppose that depends on your perspective. It walks through all the steps to get started, gather emails, create a lead magnet, and run promotional email campaigns. I'm sure there's more that could be added but it's got everything you need to be successful with email marketing.
@@IncomeSchool thanks
What about using pictures from other blogs ?
Using other people’s photos with permission violates their copyright and can get your content removed from Google.
@@IncomeSchool with or without ?
@@IncomeSchool I've seen the same image being used over and over againa cross multiple sites
I am from India I wanna connect to you and learn abouts blogs
That's what we're here for!
We are looking at starting a blog to support are RUclips channel. I'll look in to your project24 site.

Any volunteer to walk me through this journey of blogging. Low on finances but very interested so I'm unable to pay for the course😢
❤❤❤❤❤
no seo/keyword research tool?
no cache/optimization plugins?
no cdn? (cloudflare, quic)

20k a month with the bs google pulled, blogging dead
I honestly don't see how easy it's going to be to hit 10k a month with blogging in 2024

I agree. I got to 50k revenue per month but now it is declining in rapid speed. I don’t recommend blogging anymore.

For sure! That’s a great point that I didn’t even mention.

@@qazwsxzwharpThat's awesome, good idea
