Blog Your Way to Millions

August 21, 2008 · Written by Heather Juma

You can blog your way to millions!
 
Let me share with you a blog-to-riches story.  Have you ever heard of Mario Lavandeira?  Probably not.  Have you ever heard of Perez Hilton?  That’s Mario’s multi-million dollar alter-ego.  In a matter of a three short years, Mario has gone from shy, unknown to “super diva” aka Perez Hilton.  And just how did he do it?  Blogging.

Mario became a power player in the entertainment industry when he moved from New York to LA with dreams of becoming an actor.  So broke that he couldn’t even pay for internet access, he hung out at coffee shops and hooked into their Wi-Fi.  He started reading online blogs and thought about starting his own personal blog but thought his life was too boring.  So he began torturing the rich and famous with his celebrity bashing blog that he named: PerezHilton.com.

Mario has been such a success that not only does his blog generate $54,000 PER DAY in advertising revenue, he is working with Warner Music to develop his own boutique record label, he has had TV specials, he has a syndicated radio show with ABC Radio, will be authoring a book for release in 2009 and has recently launched a clothing and accessories line with Hot Topic clothing (for girls).

He has developed a following of 8 million devoted fans!  This is the power of a blog.  So how can you become a millionaire blogger?  Think about Mario… if he did it, so can you.
