5 Stars For ProBloggers and Beginners Alike
At first, I was slightly put-off by the title, as I am not really interested in blogging as a source of income. However, after reading it, I have to say that it’s also a very practical guide to everyday blogging.

It covered each of its topics in-depth. The book didn’t just tell me what to do, but how to do it, and where additional resources are located. For example, the “20 Types of Blog Posts” section gave me a TON of great ideas.

The authors also weighed both the pros and cons of implementing each specific piece of advice, which made making choices about how to implement my blog much easier.

Personally, I didn’t like the section on buying & selling blogs. Instead, I would have preferred extended conversations on blog promotion, creating something worthwhile, and social media. (A follow on book idea?)

In summary, the opinionated authors gave plenty of specific advice. This book is literally *packed* with wisdom!

5 Stars I am taking off my hat
Although, I am a newbie in blogging, I am not in much other aspects of internet business life, so, I can easily spot a books written just to sell their own stuff, or written by author who is not a specialist in his own area.

This is book is perfect in all senses, I can not comment it from a point of view of experienced blogger, I do that for books related to PPC, SE, or SEO, but what can I say here, that book is from extremely talented writers, who invested a great time to write it - guess why? Because it’s short and concentrated, and as Mark Twain said - I would make it shorter, if would have a time.

I would buy this book solely only for 20 different blog post types, or idea for series of posts. It sparked my imagination immediately, and I will have topics for write now for long time.

Book is great, and even if you - like me are not interested to make money in blog but make it as your passion for topic - hey, after all - if those suggestions can lead to bucks coming - they undoubtedly will earn you anything else you need, of no money - recognition, friends, - traffic after all.

And it shortens a learning curve dramatically, some of tools mentioned in book was new for me also.

5 Stars The best place to start in Internet Business and Blogging
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RKJHJVYB52IOH If you think you’d like to create an online presence through blogging to achieve any number of goals, this is the best place to start.

4 Stars Solid advice on all aspects of blogging
This book covers just about every pertinent topic there is on blogging. It has information for the beginner on what defines a blog, the best tools to use to start, and how to pick a topic. It also covers more advanced issues like marketing, relationship building, monitoring traffic to your site, and why you might want to customize your blog.

The book is well structured and easy to read. The authors cover a broad range of information that make it useful for a hobby blogger as well as a professional.

4 Stars One of the best on the market
I am new to blogging and there is so much rubbish on the internet about how to make money from blogging and how to drive traffic to your site etc…..Some of the people giving advice on Youtube look rather suspect. I have only managed to find a handful of books on blogging and none really go into detail about how to make money from blogging. I have read ‘The rough guide to blogging’, ‘Blogging for dummies’ and ‘Start your own blogging business’. I have found ‘Problogger’ to be the most professional and detailed of all the books I have read.

*I have no affiliation to ‘problogger’ but this book and Darren’s website are packed with information and advice for new and experienced bloggers.*

I think Darren and Chris have written a book which is suitable for complete beginners who want to know more about the world of blogging and ways to monetize their blog.

I won’t give too much away but the contents are:

1. Blogging for money

2. Niche Blogging

3. Setting up your blog

4. Blog writing

5. Blog income and earning strategies

6. Buying and selling blogs

7. Blog networks

8. Blog promotion and marketing

9. Secrets of successful blogs

10.Creating something worthwhile

There is an introduction where Darren presents his blogging story and experience.

Chapter 3 is great if you want to set up a self-hosted ‘wordpress’ account and purchase your own domain name and self host it. But if you want to set up a free hosted ‘wordpress’ or ‘blogger.com’ account and learn how to use them and customize them, Problogger does not cover that.

Chapters 2 and 5 are the most important chapters if you want to learn how to make money from blogging as they introduce you to niche blogging and provide you with some examples of niche blogs. More importantly they also show you ways to monetize your blog with adverts.

Chapter 9 is quite short but it contains examples of successful blogs and includes lessons from niche bloggers.

One thing I wanted to add is that Darren and Chris stress that it can be hard to make a full time income from blogging, there is a lot of trial and error that goes into building a successful blog.

Anyone buying this book should not be fooled into thinking they can make a 6 figure income in a short space of time.

Of course there are bloggers who are making a lot of money but they are a lucky hardworking few.

I have found it a little overwhelming starting a blog as I am not tech savvy. However I think this is a good time to start a blog in these tough depressing economic times, as blogs can be a fun hobby and they can provide you with an extra income.

My blog life-post.blogspot is brand new and is a personal development blog which I am trying to monetize early on and I am getting lots of valuable advice from Problogger.

I think there is room for more books like this which are written by successful bloggers who can show you examples of their mistakes and eventual success.

This book is the best on the market.

5 Stars Has REAL Answers
This book was easy to read and contained real answers to many of the questions a salesman would have.

5 Stars Excellent Advice
I cannot put this book down. It is packed with helpful advice on everything to do with selling and keeping those customers. My favorite tip is the fact you cannot truly sell a product you dont own or have tried.

On an aesthetic point, the book fits so well in your hands, the paper is strong, it lays flat, and it even has a little red bookmark! You can tell this is a quality book from the cover, and you can prove its a quality book from the excellent advice contained within the cover.

4 Stars Good Book on Improving Your Sales Skills
“Little Red Book of Sales Answers” by Jeffrey Gitomer addresses questions salespeople may have about their job and techniques to improve skills, particularly in the following areas:

1. Your humor and creativity.

2. Your writing, finding a mentor, and secret of worry-free living.

3. How to cold call and dealing with liars.

4. Closing and dealing with objections.

5. Utilizing the internet to make sales.

6. Ways to establish relationships.

7. Ways to differentiate yourself from your competition.

8. Love what you do and your job will be easier to be successful at!

Throughout the book are free “Red Bits” that you can access through Gitomer’s web site. “Red Bits” are succinct pieces of valuable tid bits of information for particular aspects of selling.

Overall, the book is a good source of information and enjoyable to read. However, there were quite a few examples of salty language that I believed was unnecessary for making points. Brush up on that and I would give the book 5 stars.

Recommended.

5 Stars A Simple & Systematic book
I have read a lot of books about selling and I found this book very valuable for the one who seek a simple, systematic & easily applicable selling book. It’s nice to read because there are only important thing with plain explanation. Full of leading questions to inspire the reader…A must have book for salesperson !!

Make Money Not Excuses Wake Up Take Charge and Overcome Your Financial Fears Forever

Get Rich, Don’t Bitch

Today, more than ever before, wealth is something every woman has the power to create. Yet Jean Chatzky constantly hears all the excuses why women can’t and don’t master their money. Now, she reveals the secrets and the strategies she created to take control of her own money–strategies through which she gained her “money confidence.” It’s time for you to find yours!

In Make Money, Not Excuses Jean shares these valuable lessons:

• Where to start
• How to get over your “I’m not smart enough to deal with money” feelings
• Why being a “good-enough investor” will make more money for you in
the long-term (while trying to be a “great investor” will drive you crazy)
• How (and where) to save your money
• Why women make better investors––and higher returns––than men
• How to track where you’re overspending
• How to pay off your debt

Jean is unsurpassed in her ability to explain money and investing in simple, straightforward ways. Here she breaks down the scariest parts of dealing with money–from investing in stocks to saving for your retirement–and makes them practical, easy, empowering, and, yes, even enjoyable. This is your road map to real wealth.

“Chatzky writes like the smart, candid best friend you wish you had.”

4 Stars Financial Sanity and Security: Here’s How!
“Make Money Not Excuses” is a user-friendly motivational and practical guide for making the decision (and taking the first steps) to becoming secure in one’s financial present and long-term future. I read this book cover-to-cover in just two days — it really got me excited about making, saving, and investing my money!

Previously, I have used David Bach’s “The Automatic Millionaire” and “Smart Women Finish Rich” to develop and maintain my financial plan. I preferred Bach’s books for the specific to-dos in regards to saving and investing money — I felt that he provided more concrete examples and advice for making decisions and taking the appropriate next steps. While Chatzky’s book is also motivational and has the advantage of addressing many “female” concerns (e.g., wanting to invest, but lacking the confidence to do so) and habits (e.g., I have nothing to wear!), she offers fewer directions for developing a true action plan. Bach got me on track with my savings, retirement investments and debt-management — Chatzky helped maintain my motivation and, by echoing many of the same principles as Bach, reminded me of some outstanding responsibilities that I have procrastinated (e.g., life and disability insurance).

For women who are just starting to take control of their finances, or who are looking for ways to make their money work harder for the long-run, I would recommend starting with “Smart Women Finish Rich” and then following up with “Make Money Not Excuses.” As a woman in my 20s, it feels great to realize that my financial situation is under control and that I am working every day to secure a stable future. Remember, it’s not how much money you make, it’s how much you keep… and how you make it work for you!

5 Stars This Book Rocks!
* The tips provided in order to take charge of our financial is really fresh.

* The motivational words inside this book really is inspiring.

* Now I know how easy it is to become the master of our own money and take charge.

* The examples shown on real life people having difficulties to control their financial income really has help me to look forward.

* Did I mention this book is way too cheap. The content is excellent.

5 Stars Make Money, Not Excuses
This book gets right to the point about what women need to be doing for their financial future. It speaks in a language that is easy to understand.

2 Stars Maybe for you, but not for me…
If you are a 30-something corporate wife, than this is the book for you. While I enjoy watching segments of Jean Chatsky on Today, her book disappointmented me. She speaks to a population of women who are most likely married and have children. However, neither of those apply to me. I was looking for some tips that aren’t common sense, yet most of her advice is common sense. Ladies, we all know we won’t help our savings account if we buy $129 cashmere sweaters, yet Jean thinks that needs to be discussed numerous times, as well as online banking–a topic that is explained at least 5 times. If you never read or listened to financial advice, this may work for you. Otherwise, you probably already know these ideas and just need to find a way to motivate yourself.

4 Stars A crowd pleaser
I see why Jean Chatzky is so popular, she really can break things down so that anyone at any level can understand them. At times I was hoping for something more but felt that I learned a lot nonetheless.

* Lots of good story of real life people who face financial problem and overcome it.

* You don’t need to work like crazy to achieve success but you need to be smart in taking advantage of the current situation or market so that it will not turn against you.

One of the best things this book does is points out that it is a CHOICE to live an abundant life. The book points out those wrong mental footprints of to handling finances can be corrected. Then it shares easy to understand, sensible steps to follow in making one’s financial abundant life a reality. I read the book the first time and made notes. Now I am rereading it the second time and doing the exercises. I see the rewards are right around the corner.

5 Stars You go, Ladies!!!
This is the first popular book on finance I’ve ever read that didn’t make me want to go out and cut my throat because I’d been so stupid and now it was too late! Instead, the authors explain how to think in terms of abundance, not deprivation, and explain how it’s NEVER too late.

Another great thing about this book is that it integrates saving and investing into your life, not just your lifestyle, and shows how they can actually enhance your value system.

Buy it. It’s the WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE of investing.

5 Stars Need more books like this for us.
I brought this book last year and I still refer back to it. It is a must have for all women who are trying to get it together.Good luck ladies we can do it.

4 Stars GIRL, YOU’D BETTER FIND A WAY TO HANG ON TO IT TOO!
A truly wonderful book. However there is a crucial element that must be addressed in light of what is coming down the pike at us “Girls”. If you read Arnold’s The Great Bust Ahead (or visit the book’s website at thegreatbustahead.com) you will gain insights into what may be the greatest depression in history beginning just a few years from now. This will probably affect women the most, and women (and men) of color more than others. So, whatever us Girls can make by following Glinda’s advice needs to be protected (i.e. not lost in the coming depression) by reading Arnold’s advice.
