4.0 out of 5 stars ProBlogger a Hit, Jan 4 2010
This review is from: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income (Paperback)
ProBlogger by Darren Rowse is a hit! The author carefully makes no get rich claims but rather takes an honest and systematic approach to building a blog, one that might be financially successful if that is your goal, but only after some time to let it grow and mature. This book will not appeal to those who want instant gratification without any work. The book is well organized and helps the viewer along with the companion web site to build the best blog a blog can be.

With this book, building a successful blog is a real possibility as is making it earn some real cash providing you take Darren's step by step approach. Not only was the book a great source of information for me, but I also found it too be a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blogging for bucks is just another small business. Think it, plan it, do it, and benefit from it., May 20 2008
By Jeff Lippincott "JLIPPIN" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income (Paperback)
I loved this book. It is the first one I have read that actually explains how blogging can be used to make money directly. Most books I have read, and what I have experienced, indicate that blogging is not something to be done to make money directly.

In this book the author explains that there are direct ways to make money from one's blog, and there are indirect ways.

Direct Monetization:
>>Advertising
>>Sponsorships
>>Affiliate commissions
>>Paid reviews

Indirect Monetization:
>>Freelance writing contracts
>>Book deals
>>Speaking engagements
>>Consulting opportunities
>>Service contracts
>>Sell your own products

After reading this book I am still a believer that blogs are not something to consider if you want to make money from them directly. However, it can be done! But probably not the way you would think. It's not done by creating a blog, i.e., one blog and making it popular online. It's done by creating many blogs. Creating an empire of blogs and getting well connected in the blogoshere does it. Writing on any topic that can generate advertisers, sponsorships, affiliate commissions, and paid reviews does it. One blog won't do it. Two blogs won't do it. But a lot of blogs creating little streams of income will do it.

The authors provide us with some lessons they have learned about blogging:

1. Blogging for income takes time
2. Take it one step at a time
3. It takes hard work and discipline
4. Follow your dreams

Does this sound familiar? It should if you regularly read books for entrepreneurs. Blogging for bucks is just another small business. Instead of writing content for an arsenal of magazines, you are writing an arsenal of content for various blogs. Instead of selling paper copies of writings, you are selling through Web 2.0. And you are using Web 2.0 strategies and tactics to make your blogs profitable.

If you have an interest in blogs, and you want two books on the subject that discuss blogs from completely different perspectives, then read this book and read "Blog Schmog" (ISBN: 078521576X). Both books are well written, organized, and sound. If you read both of these books, then you should have a pretty good idea of what blogs are all about, what you can do with them, and what you cannot do with them. 5 stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely in the top one or two, May 1 2008
By Tom Carpenter "- www.sysedco.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income (Paperback)
This is the 12th book I've read on blogging. The books I've read have run the gamut from marketing brochures clothed in the covers of a book to real sources of valued information. This book is clearly in the latter category and I would place it in the top one or two positions as my favorite so far.

I appreciated the author's very quick overvew of "what is a blog". Blogs are very easy to understand and the authors who have gone on for 20+ pages just describing a blog have obviously just been shooting for page count. This author gets into the real meat of the topic very quickly. The brief overvier of professional blogging as opposed to just blogging in chapter 1 was also helpful.

From the first chapter on, it's all about getting your game on. You have to realize that blogging your way to a six-figure income does not happen overnight just like building an email list (in a valid way) that has hundreds of thousands of opt-in emails doesn't happen overnight. This book holds your hand along this prolonged journey.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well-written but mostly covers the basics, Jun 24 2008
By Farnoosh Brock - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income (Paperback)
A great book and I was already a big fan of Darren Rowse and his blog. He is a very successful pro blogger, a fine example to follow and learn from and having the 2 perspectives - different backgrounds, both end up at pro blogging and both very successful - is very effective. The book is easy to follow, written for anyone who even hasn't the basics of technology down, and has a reasonably good flow. I just wish it covered the tricks of the trade in much more depth, with examples, case studies, personal experience, and tips that you do not find anywhere else. It was a bit general for me. I am still glad I read it.
