Blogging Bootcamp

Can you build a blog with 25,000, 50,000, or even 100,000 subscribers?

It's certainly doable if you're willing to do the work.

How about some help?

Yesterday I pointed you to a free report from Leo Babauta about how he grew Zen Habits from nothing to over 130,000 subscribers. I also hinted at a “blogging bootcamp” that was in the works.

Leo has created a 10-day intensive program called A-List Blogging Bootcamp as a way to help people build successful blogs with large subscriber lists. But it's not just Leo who's running this virtual camp.

Darren Rowse from Problogger and yours truly will be joining Leo to teach and also answer your specific questions about growing the lifeblood of any blog — your subscriber list.

Here's the program (you learn all of this from the comfort of your own home). The bootcamp runs from August 18th through the 27th, 2009.

Day 1: The Psychology of Subscribing
Day 2: How to Use design to Hook Readers
Day 3: Why Usability is the Key to Keeping Visitors on Your Blog
Day 4: Crafting a Killer About Page & Prime Posting Rhythm
Day 5: What Kind of Content Creates Subscribers and How to Write it
Day 6: How to Craft Headlines that Lure Readers to Your Blog
Day 7: What Kind of Images Attract Readers
Day 8: The Art of Guest Posting
Day 9: How to Promote Your Blog: Strategies that Rock
Day 10: How to Leverage Social Media for Super Success

I'll be the instructor for the headline topic on Day 6, and I'll try to show up for other topics to answer your questions (I've found that people get the most out of having specific questions answered).

There are some cool extras for those who jump on board fast, so check out A-List Blogging Bootcamp today and get ready for a great learning experience. Remember, the bootcamp runs from August 18th through the 27th, 2009, so registration will be open only for a short time.
