Great info, but gave up on the hope of making money blogging. January 19, 2010 The Pro (Iowa) Great info, but gave up on the hope of making money blogging. Tells you how to make money, I gave up on it, all though if you have unique ideas, I could see it working.
Good Overview November 27, 2009 Kenneth H. Marks (Raleigh, North Carolina) I found Problogger a valuable read that provided a nice overview and background about what blogs are, developing and establishing one, writing the blog, and then promoting and marketing it. I recommend it. Kenneth H Marks, lead author of the The Handbook of Financing Growth: Strategies, Capital Structure, and M&A Transactions (Wiley Finance)
lots of ways to make money with blogs October 14, 2009 Ian Branch 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I first found out about ProBlogger through (what else!) their blog. While I'm not making the six-figures the book says is possible, it has certainly opened my eyes to the possibilities of making money online. I got a lot of really great ideas from this book, some of which I was able to implement within hours (or even minutes). Beyond that, my entire outlook on blogging changed because of it.
If you are somebody who enjoys writing, you will benefit from this book. It has lots of tips on how to monetize your blog and how to get your material read.
How to Become A Professional Blogger October 10, 2009 Robert Bogetti (Chicago, IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
ProBlogger is great for those that are new to blogging, existing bloggers looking for new ideas and ways to improve their blog, and for bloggers looking on how to directly and indirectly generate revenue. The authors highlight several top blogs and point out the various techniques they use to achieve their goals and how each of these differ in purpose and execution. Throughout the text are URLs for sites and tools which are helpful for gathering ideas, examining website/blog metrics, and blog setup and design. Chapter coverage includes how to quickly setup a blog using Wordpress, discussing tradeoffs between single blogs versus blog networks, generating direct and indirect profits, ways to promote your blog, search engine optimization, methods of increasing and maintaining readership, tips for generating good content, and even how to buy and sell blog sites as if the were real estate. The text is not only complete but very easy to read. I highly recommend ProBlogger.
