I saw this book on Pinterest and didn't read much about it before purchasing, just looked at some of the pictures. First the good parts. I do like the worksheets and I love the design. I think over the coming year or two it will be helpful in brainstorming and tracking my blog progress.
Now for the bad. The workbook can't decide if it's for beginners or experienced bloggers. It basically has worksheets to track what you did last year and then plan what you'll do this year. No tips or guidelines, just space to track your numbers and brainstorm how to improve them. As a beginning blogger, I don't even have a previous year to compare with so I'll have to work on that this year and come back to it. Yet other reviews say that for experienced bloggers it's too basic, so I'm not sure who the intended audience is! Also there are so few worksheets for future ideas compared to tracking past performance. I could easily write down past performance in a spreadsheet or notebook. I wanted guidance on making a game plan for my upcoming content!
My biggest issue though is the quality. As much as I love the design, if I'd known how poor the print quality was, I would NOT have purchased this book. The cover is cheap paper, not thick like a paperback book usually is. The inside is the same, but the absolute worst aspect is the ink itself. The images on the cover and even the text inside the book is grainy and makes your eyes hurt looking at it. Even the basic text seems to have a greenish shadow behind it like it printed in two colors and it makes it hard to read. Your eyes instantly blur the lines. Perhaps this is a self-published book and if so then I salute them on the design but they need to view proof copies first next time! Even a small printing shop should be able to print text that's actually readable.

I just received this item and am so disappointed with it. I expected something more substantial for $18, but this is just a very thin workbook. Each page out of the 70+ pages has fill-in prompts without any content on blogging. While I like that concept for a planner, this doesn't present itself as a calendar as real planners do. Those are expected to be blank because it's for filling in your year of activities. This is a "guide to defining your purpose, creating clarity, and building a year (in 70+ pages?!) of killer content." How can a workbook with only prompts promise to accomplish any of that? I think that everyone should just get a notebook for a few bucks and find useful tips on Pinterest instead.Unfortunately I'm probably going to have to keep this since return shipping isn't free (why not, Amazon??), so it'll cost almost half of what I paid, making the return pointless. The two star rating is for the attractive cover and clean design, I just wish it had a lot more to offer.
