3.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to monetizing a blog., July 19, 2010
This review is from: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income (Paperback)
I picked upProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income after blogging for a litle over two years. I've been doing it as a hobby because I love writing and photography, but admittedly haven't thought much about monetizing it.

For me, this book served as a good introduction to how to make money from blogging, both directly and indirectly. However, its focus is a little more broad. It coves everything from choosing a topic to write about, to setting up your blog, to making money. It mixes information and examples with exercises that challenge the reader to apply what they are talking about and use it to inform their own blog.

Because of its broad focus, I think it would be the most useful to someone who is brand new to blogging. I still found it very informative as someone who has been blogging for awhile. However, I did find myself skimming through the pages on setting up your blog because mine has long been set up. However, I thought their instructions were very straight foward and clear and definitely would have been helpful to me if I had stumbled upon them when first starting my blog. They also provide some great tips on deciding what to write about and choosing a domain name.

The content specific to monitization is good but should really be used as a primer. As others have mentioned, much of this content can be found on the ProBlogger blog or elsewhere on the internet. However, the beauty of this book is that it is condensed and all available in one place. No reason to go digging. That said, it is really just the tip of the iceberg so if you are looking for one book to cover everything you will wind up disapointed. I still don't believe I know everything about monitization, nor did I expect to when reading this, and expect to still read more on SEO as a follow up. There are also no secret, magic strategies here. If you are looking for a get rich quick solution this is not it.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and it met my expectations. It was a great first read on how to monetize my blog, but I'm still planning on reading other resources to continue to get smart.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have covered more on writing, but still worth the money, October 11, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I agree with a lot of the reviews already written, so I'm not going to repeat what "everyone" has told you before.

Personally, I really liked the book. It explains a lot of the practical stuff when it comes to blogging. Advertising, making money, and so on. Previous reviews have covered that. I also have to agree that a lot of the information explained in this book is mostly for beginners - but you could probably get some new info out of it as a "pro" as well.

What I do wish the book had covered more though, is the actual writing of posts. Getting ideas and so forth. So if you want a book about writing, I don't think this is the book for you.

The book also has a bonus-section online, and includes several interviews of top bloggers (among other resources).
