2.0 out of 5 stars LOTS of Confessions, Tips Were Hard to Find October 15, 2012

By Michael Gallagher HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

After reading all of the glowing 5-star reviews from people who have only reviewed this one book, I knew I had to see what was generating all of the excitement.

As a semi-professional blogger, I was attracted to this title in an effort to learn more and possibly pick up a few tips. I don't know if there was much substance in this title, as I quit reading at the 11% mark on my Kindle: to quote the words of the author, "there are some very big egos in the world of internet marketing, and not letting your head get too big is a sure way to find success and opportunities in areas that you may never have thought of."

Sure, the sentence above ended in a preposition (my Masters in English mother would shudder), but the reason why I included that particular quote is this "guide" is absolutely full of congratulatory pats on the back, numerous links to the authors websites in an effort to extract some cash, and I couldn't tell the main point of this guide other than as another referral / commission opportunity from Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson's ego is enormous and reflected throughout this book.

I had not previously heard of Mr. Johnson before picking up this title. There may be some jewels of information in this guide, but I would strongly suggest a rewrite and tone down the first part of the book and be a little more humble vs. telling of your own alleged accolades on a repetitive basis.

I picked this up during a free Kindle promotion and, as I type this review, I see the Kindle version has reverted back to $2.99: I would save your money and look for other resources.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book really nails it October 10, 2012

By Jim Kukral

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Zac's book about blogging needed to be written. Why? Because there are far to many bad books on the topic out there. Zac is an Internet Marketer turned blogger who used his blog to increase his brand awareness and build his business. In other words, he actually did it, in a BIG way, and frankly I'd rather learn from someone who has done it successfully for so long. Zac nails it all. From how to set up a blog, to how to get traffic to how to make money from it... This is a no-brainer. Zac will tell you what you need to know with no-fluff.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed October 29, 2012

By Madhatter

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was intially attracted to the number of good reviews of this book but I have to say I'm disapointed. I am new to blogging and was hoping for some really good expert advice. Unfortunately I didn't discover any of those secrets as stated in his description. That is not to say there isn't useful information in this book, there is, I just didn't find his tips unique to any others I have read on the subject.

One of the biggest disappointments of this book is that other than various forms of social networking, which the author admits is not for everyone, offers no tips on how to drive natural organic traffic to your blog. It's just my opinion but I think an internet marketer would know the importance of that.

Aside from the tips the content of this book reads like an advertisement for the authors websites. I don't have a problem with authors who use a book as a promo when they are free and honest about their intent. I am not a fan of paying for a book on tips that guides me over to the author's websites or instead of showing me how to do something and tells me to sign up for his service.

Overall I just can't give this book more that 2 stars. While I think there are a few bits of useful information hereI didn't feel this book lived up to it's hype and the presentation was far to self-promoting for my taste.
