5.0 out of 5 stars Doing what you love and earning a living July 3, 2011

By Therocprince

Format:Paperback

I had the opportunity to Interview Angel, and the staff of ConcreteLoop back in 2008. She was more than happy to put a personality and voice in open air to share her experience and story, and now she's put it in print. People go to biggest colleges across the world, paying the highest tuition, board and book fees to get the most incredible jobs but are miserable. Angel Laws did the opposite, she took something that she enjoyed (entertainment), created a successful blog and is living the lifestyle most dream of. My hats are off to her because she beat the odds with dedication, strength and proven ability. Now she's tackled another task with writing this book, sharing her tips and trades with the same world who visits her website daily. With "Angel's Laws of Blogging", she's again opening her heart and letting her readers be able to do the same thing. She could easily say it you could never do it, and never share how she got to this point yet she's giving her readers the opportunity to fulfill their blogging dreams as she has.

Within the first chapter, this book has inspired me to take on the same task of creating the blog concept that I've always wanted. Most likely by the end of my reading I would have acquired all the information I need to know about profitable blogging. The book is written in a way that is still informative, yet feeding off the same blog personality that people fell in love with behind the computer screen. This isn't just for ConcreteLoop fans, although they might feel most beneficial to know how their favorite blogger started out, but it's an inside look from an experienced blogger. Read this before even thinking of opening a blog, and chances are your blog won't just be a hobby but a career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid introduction to the elements of successful blogging for profit September 5, 2011

By Jerry Saperstein HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

I wasn't prepared to be so impressed by this book. My first impression upon seeing the title was that it would be just another of the innumerable "how to make millions with your blog" books.

Instead, this is a well-written, authoritative, cogently reasoned how-to manual by a remarkable young woman, Angel Laws, with the help of Carole Moore.

Angel is candid in acknowledging that her success may be largely the result of dedication and good luck. But she and her co-author have diligently researched and analyzed the components of creating and maintaining a successful blog.

I wasn't intending to be impressed, but I am. For the money, this is one of the best introductions to for-profit blogging that you'll find and the first-person stories of Angel Laws are a bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel's Laws is the Laws to follow September 25, 2011

By Brother Jesse Muhammad

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I read this book TWICE in two weeks and I must say it is one of the best books I've read on blogging since I started blogging back in 2007. The thing that makes this book so valuable is that it comes from someone who is practicing what they preach and not just publishing theories. Many of my blog readers may not believe this, but just before I picked up Angel's book, I was in a blogging slump and was feeling like I was going through the motions and was actually thinking about taking a break from blogging. But once I read Angel's book, it renewed my spirit. I started implementing some of her strategies immediately and I have enjoyed wonderful results. And I'm looking forward to improving every day. This is why its important to always maintain the posture of a student because you never know when something valuable will come your way that can benefit you--especially when you think you have reach a certain level of success. There's always another level for us too reach no matter how good we are. Thank you Angel.
