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.

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.
