In this part of the Internet series, I’d like to share with you a very important source of information you might be missing out online. And yes, as the title says, it’s blogs.

Many people consider blogs to be personal and thus would not contain much useful information other than the entertaining aspect. No doubt blogs are supposed to be personal, but many blogs out there are also very professional. For example, JohnChowdotCom , Income Diary , Steve Pavlina , Huffington Post , and many more.

But the most important thing is that the information is free. Yeah you got it right, free. And they’re supposed to be selling the information because it’s so valuable. The quality of most popular blogs is often at least at par with you have to pay to get usually.

So how can you get the most out of all the great blogs out there? I’d suggest a few ways:

Free E-Course

Some blogs offer free e-course on subjects such as “how to build a great blog”, “how to make money online”, and “HTML and CSS tutorials”. These usually come in a sequence of emails on a fixed schedule (daily or weekly) and offer you great tips and advices on the topic you’re interested in.

Free E-Books

This is probably the most valuable information you can get from the blogs out there. A lot of blogs offer free e-books on the subject they blog about and the e-books would contain very valuable information. This is because bloggers want you to stay with them indefinitely, and if the e-books provide great content, you’d naturally spread the word to your friends and thus give the bloggers even more subscribers.

If you’d like to search for an avalanche of free e-books out there, you should check out the following sites:

1) www.free-ebooks.net

2) www.getfreeebooks.com

3) www.ebookdirectory.com

And one thing to note is that you usually have to provide your email in order to obtain the free e-book. To me, it’s a no-brainer because the author puts in hours and hours of hard work into making the e-book. So the least you can do is to give them your email so they can share with you even more great stuffs.

If you don’t want any more emails than you already have, just sign up, download the e-book, and then unsubscribe (although you’re encouraged to at least check out what they have to say in the following emails). And if you like, you can create an new email solely for the purpose of getting free e-books, but then again you might miss out on the great content later on because you won’t check the email anyway.

Email Subscription

Talking about email, it’s important for you to subscribe to the email newsletter of the blogs you like. This is great especially if you don’t have the time to check out the blogs regularly.

One caveat is that you shouldn’t have too many email subscriptions or you’d risk losing track of all of them. It’s all about the law of focus. If you’re working, I’d suggest having 10 email subscriptions. If you’re a student, you probably have a lot of free time to kill so I’d think you can probably afford at least 20 email subscriptions.

There are probably a lot of other ways you can obtain good information from the blogs out there. For instance, you could participate in the forum with like-minded people. Just be creative and you’d be a master in that field in no time!
