 Charles Review On The Problogger Book June 2, 2008
Charles Lau (Singapore)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Before I first laid my hands on this book, I have already frequented Darren Rowse's blog where he teaches about blogging as a professional. This book is definitely a complete guide to make money in blogging. It not only teaches you how to blog, what to blog, and also where to blog. But what separates this book from the rest are the parts where he teaches people how to buy and sell blogs, and to write articles that attract visitors to come back for more.
Darren and Chris are definitely writing from their own experiences as probloggers themselves. And because of their fame, I believe the subscribers in their blogs will actually buy this book because of their credibility. In no time, this book should hit the bestsellers list.
This book is written with the aim of targeting at all blog platforms even though they love to use WordPress (just like myself). In fact, the technical issues about blog should be left out to the experts while we focus on providing the best contents for the visitors.
No doubt about this book at all. Because I have it myself, and would recommend to all bloggers out there to acquire it.
A Superb Book for Bloggers June 1, 2008

I've long been a fan of Darren Rowse's [...] website. Darren (and his guest posters - one of his tips!) keeps it very interesting, valuable, and useful for bloggers who want to learn how to grow their readership and potentially monetize their online content.
Darren brings the right attitude to all of this - and it's important. He's learned the hard way and he shares his learnings generously. The book - and the blog - are valuable resources for any blogger wanting to get serious about their own online presence.

Received and read. This is a well written book.Plenty of motivation here.Plenty of examples how to put the motivation to work.
Will it help me make money from my blog? Don't know, ask me in a year. One of the concepts of the book is that it takes time to create a great blog.
Will it make my blog better? Yes,it already has, motivation and passion can only make things better.
Good read with good information.

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.

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.
