5.0 out of 5 stars Instant mojo to the bloodstream January 11, 2012

By Stephen Haggerty

Format:Kindle Edition

I bought this book at the advice of several blogging friends with some Barnes & Noble bucks I got for Christmas. Christmas, for the mathematically challenged, was not 31 days ago. I burned through this book in less than a week, and pretty much feel I was blasted in the face with massive nugs of blogging wisdom. Is that over-selling it? Maybe a bit theatrical, I'll give you that, but this is a read worth your time.

As I went through each chapter, getting a free laugh or 3 as I went, I found myself at each point of application saying "my gosh, why don't I do that already?" This is one of those books that you can immediately walk away from and start using to make practical improvements. It's a privilege to be able to learn the secrets of a blogging giant, straight from the horse's mouth, and instantly apply it to your own blog (and then sit back and watch it grow like chia hair).

After reading Blogging Mojo, I was able to make the following changes to my blog and have already noticed lots of positive results:
-Making the reader aware of expectations.
-Understanding the "work" of blogging (consistency, practice, & diligence).
-Including part your own identity in your blog and writing style, so people feel attached.
-Established the "Core Elements" of my blog in written form, to give me focus and rein in my topics.
-A ton more of practical thoughts, including my blog's layout, domain name, networking, and goals.

I'm keeping this one on the top shelf of how-to's, as well as an overall good read for people who aren't afraid of laughter (personally I'm afraid of people who are afraid to laugh- how's that for irony?). It's more than worth shelling out $5, so do it today, and get your mojo rollin'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Win November 8, 2011

By Klerik

Format:Kindle Edition

31 Days to Find Your Blogging Mojo changed my blogging life. I went from posting less than 20 posts a year to about 2 posts a week. My reader volume more than tripled into a steady reader base. I feel more confident both in my blog and as a blogger. I started theclericreturns in 2009 with little to no real drive, but now, its become a primary outlet for all of my creative writing as well as essays and tech reviews. Without 31 Days, I'd feel like a sexually repressed teenager wearing a chastity belt in a brothel.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book changed my life December 22, 2011

By KevinRHaggerty

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I read this book at the urging of a friend of mine who also blogs. I was ready to quit blogging. Deep down, I knew I shouldn't quit. I knew there was something in it for me and that it was something I was passionate about. I just wasn't getting anywhere. That is, until I read Bryan's book. After reading this book and following its advice (the latter part being more important than the former), my blog went from approximately 1,400 page views to its current 5,642 pageviews in a little more than three weeks. I've also gone from 21 Twitter followers to approximately 1,700 in that same period of time. People read my blog. People comment. I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but I'm enjoying it again and I continue to learn. In addition to the book, Bryan actually connected with me personally when I reached out to him. He's been a good resource and has plugged me in with people who have also helped me. He genuinely cares about his "tribe" and helping them succeed. Nowhere in his book does he promise this will be easy. I believe the readers who have left poor reviews have not put the work in that is required to get genuine results. That, and the truth is that blogging isn't for everyone. At any rate, if you love blogging, you need to read this book.
