Mike Cliffe-Jones

Last week’s “The Sunday Morning Post” was about a fine gentleman, James Richmond. He was really the inspiration for this area of Bloggers Market. However I wish I had started off with Mike CJ. As this site’s focus is for the beginning blogger who has no experience at all, Mike is the perfect role model for the beginner. His communication is the way I like it: direct, clear and to the point.

While looking over my Twitter Followers, I came up on Mike. I don’t know him that well. He hit my radar when he released his latest book with Nathan Hangen entitled “Beyond Blogging”. You might want to check out the Beyond Blogging Sales Page link here.

Mike manages two websites and one blog. I believe his home is where his heart is, and I think I have a pretty good idea where that is: Mike’s Life. Feel free to visit at Mikes Life.org. His other two sites are centered on his love of Scuba-Diving, titled “Gordonisimo” and the other on his home island of Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, which was his first website and is the full time responsibility of his wife Julie.

As I knocked around his blog, I was struck with the fact that I have this new friend who lives so far away from me, that I have never met nor would have ever met if it were not for the Internet. Lanzarote with it’s population of approximately 130,000 residents and 200 plus volcanic peaks along with the Timanfaya National Park seems like the idealistic place to live. While it’s as close to Casablanca and Rick Blaine as you can possibly get, it is a fair piece from the Blue Ridge Mountains where I live.

He has a super section for beginners that you can find here. And he has an E-Book for beginners that highlights his style of being clear and concise. You can opt-in at this link here. This link takes you to a page that gives his E-Book title as “Blogging For Beginners – A Starter Guide For New Bloggers,” however after opt-in you will receive his E-Book titled “Case Study – Taking a website from zero to a full-time income in one year.”

He has a four part series on “How to launch your digital product” found at this link here. And considering he was involved with the launch of “Beyond Blogging,” you won’t be left guessing if this guy really knows what he is talking about.

He has a complete course for the beginner titled “The Beginner’s Guide To Blogging“. This course comes with 60 separate lessons, which is the best way. If offered to you all at once, it has been my experience that most people just “skim and forget” then move on to something else. So Mike goes the extra mile in an effort to keep you engaged.

He has several other choice products on his website so, “It’s time to be extraordinary,” and take matters into your own browser and head on over to Mikes Life.org

While Mike speaks two languages, it’s really not that hard to understand him; and getting to know Mike can’t be all that hard, considering the following Tweet he sent out on Friday Morning about 10:30A.M:

“Such a shame the iPad isn’t a phone. I was really looking forward to seeing people holding one to their head and shouting “HELLO?”"

Lead On Mike! Call me when you get that iPad!

    Excellent write up of Mike. I have seen him around where I comment and visit and have looked at his site.

    It amazes me how we can meet people we would never have met if it weren’t for the internet!

    Extremely flattering, and I’m sure undeserved! But thank you so much. In some ways I’m lucky in that I can still clearly remember what it was like when I started out as a blogger. I remember the frustration, the long hours and the lack of traffic that comes with being a newbie. That’s why I’ve tried to skew my blog and anything I do towards helping new and learning bloggers.

    So, I’m happy to help. My email address is on the site, I love hearing from people on Twitter. Please say hello!
