Darren Rowse Shares His Blogging Success Secrets (Part 2)
Darren Rowse is the founder of problogger.
He's one of the true pioneers of content marketing and was one of the first people in the world to use blogging as an authority-building tool.
Darren's mentored some of the world’s leading content marketers today.
I first heard about Darren from my blogging mentor Jon Morrow.
A few years ago, I had the honor of sharing the stage with him at Super Fast Business Live in Sydney, and later we enjoyed some really interesting conversations over dinner.
He's the author of the Book Secrets to Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income and has founded one of the most successful blogs in the world.
