Ryan Deiss is one of those “internet marketing gurus” who seem to be sprouting like mushrooms. To promote his latest venture Continuity Blueprint, he’s posted several videos which you can, at least for now, view for free. I’ve looked at all of them and find them extremely interesting. But many writers, especially those with a creative bent, may be turned off by the marketing emphasis.

Still one of these videos will appeal to any writer considering setting up a blog. Ryan walks us through, with stopwatch ticking, the process of building a blog from scratch within 12 minutes. It’s very simple; it’s very affordable. I highly recommend this video, even to those of you who already have a blog. You will probably learn some new tricks — I did.

If you are curious like me, you may even wish to take a look at the other videos. His concepts of “continuity” and “membership” sites are truly provocative. He even talks about AUTHORS and PUBLISHERS in a manner that writers may find illuminating.

Ryan is talking primarily to people who want to make an easy five-figure income per month. Well, I guess there’s nothing wrong with that. But the sales prices he recommends and his hard-sell approach will not work for many writers. I wonder, however, what might happen if a writer adapted Ryan’s approach, applying it with cost levels more in line with the real world of books, short stories, essays and such.

What do you think about this?
