I'm a big fan of Darren "Problogger" Rowse and regularly read up on
blogging techniques on his site. Darren has teamed up with fellow
blogger Chris Garrett to write this nifty handbook for bloggers.
The book comprises the following 10 sections:
Blogging for Money.
Niche Blogging.
Setting Up Your Blog.
Blog Writing.
Blog Income and Earning Strategies.
Buying and Selling Blogs.
Blog Networks.
Blog Promotion and Marketing.
Secrets of Successful Blogs.
Creating Something Worthwhile.
If you're new to blogging then this gives you a great overview of
everything you need to know before you unleash yourself into the
bloggersphere. My only complaint is that the book gives houseroom to
using Blogger as a platform, as I am a die-hard wordpress.org freak ;)
The book literally takes you from blogging idea
to income to selling up and moving on.
-- Alison Rothwell
I got the most out of the Blog Writing and the Secrets of Successful
Blogs sections. There are some great tips on types of blog posts and
how to get your blogging inspiration. Reading the ideas on keeping the
creative juices flowing is a real resource for those days when you need
to blog but can't quite find the words.
If you're thinking of blogging for profit then the sections on Blog
Income and Earning Strategies and Buying and Selling Blogs will be
right up your street. The book literally takes you from blogging idea
to income to selling up and moving on.
