Recommendation: Buy it if you’re a new or intermediate blogger.You’ll be inspired by Darren’s story – it does take time. There are plenty of how tos on the mechanics of starting to blog, but you can skip over those if your already online. Good tips on writing compelling copy and building traffic…which all lead to revenue (direct or indirect). Read below for the full review.
I just finished this book, part of a series of books I’m reading about blogging, email marketing and info products – more on those late. Pr ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income Blogging for Profit ProBlogger Book Review is the book by Darren Rowse creator of b5 networks and the popular blog how to site ProBlogger.com. His co-writer is Chris Garrett also a prolific blogger. Darren Rowse claims to have made over 6 figures a year from blogging (using Google AdSense), so we can assume they know what they’re talking about.
I read the book not because I want to or expect to make money from a blog via advertising. I was more interested in creating a blog with a high readership that would be a companion to my retail business, GirlMogul.com I have the blog, GirlMogul Magazine, and while I occasionally get a reader or a comment, most of the time I get tons of pharmaceutical spam. Though I do have Adsense and Adbrite on the GirlMogul blog I have not earned a dime from it and after the book I am actually considering taking it down. What did I want to get from the ProBlogger book -tips on building a high traffic well read blog. After all, there is little fun in posting, if no one is listening…
Here’s what you’ll get by reading: A quick overview of the author’s credentials. Darren’s story is particularly heartwarming since it took him well over a year to start making money from his blog(s)…and then it seemed to snow ball.
There are basic tips if you want to make money:
1. Find a niche (this is a common theme on the Internet)
2. Go for a how-to, instructional or focused topic blog rather than a personal diary
3. Post regularly. Expect to build up a archive of posts before you’re taken seriously
4. Advertising only brings in money if you have lots of traffic
5. Write compelling content
6. Write keyword and search engine friendly content
7. Use social networking and bookmarking sites to build your traffic
8. Get links from other bloggers (You’ll learn how)
9. Join the community and visit and comment on other blogs. Don’t immediately expect a link back or a recommendation,
