Book Review: PROBLOGGING FOR BLOGGERS
Summary: 4 Stars
Very well written.
This book is everything it is supposed to be.
I would have given it 5 stars if it had examples of checks earned.
Book Review: Solid, practical, easy to read & designed for finger tip referencing
Summary: 5 Stars
As a relatively new blogger (Feb '08), I found Darren Rowse's and Chris Garrett's book the perfect guide to the world of blogging for money. Cover to cover, it is full of easy-to-absorb points and insights streamlined to help new bloggers get up and running or to help current bloggers enhance their income. The authors cover blog set up, blog writing, income strategies, promotion, overviews of successful blogs, and much more. They even provide specifically targeted tips and exercises to enhance the reader's understanding of the topic.
Beyond the specific dos and don't, I found these themes in the book as well:
Pro-blogging is not a get-rich-quick scheme
Pro-blogging requires hard work and commitment
Pro-bloggers do exist, and you can be one of them
Pro-blogging means connecting to, draw in, and maintaining a community
Pro-bloggers must provide something useful to the reader
The authors succeed quite well with that last point. No fluff here, just solid, hard-earned information straight from the experts.
Book Review: You'll get your money's worth...
Summary: 4 Stars
Well presented and well organized, but not as much high-level information as I would have liked for a "pro" book. It covers a lot of basics that most pro bloggers are going to know about already. Still...in the end, I got enough new tips and insights that it was well worth the price. Can't ask for much more than that.
Book Review: Comprehensive guide for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars
Darren Rowse rightfully lays claim to the title of Problogger. This Aussie stay-at home dad always manages to write informative and thought provoking posts which are a pleasure to read. This book takes the reader through the whole process of starting a blog, providing quality content, driving traffic and finally monetizing the whole shebang. He is careful to point out that although making money from blogs is entirely possible, it takes time and hard work - certainly not a get rich quick scheme. For an experienced blogger much of the material will be familiar but even so will provide insights and information that will be new.
