 A Perfect Post! June 18, 2008

If there is one book you will ever read on how to create an amazing blog that makes you money then ProBlogger is the one! I have been researching online and reading other "wanna be" blog books, but after I finished ProBlogger, it was a breath of fresh air and a big sigh of relief.
Everything you want to know about how to create a successful blog that generates active users, and in return makes you money directly and indirectly, is in this book.
ProBlogger will not disapoint.
Excellent cautionary book for those whose eyes are bigger than their reach June 16, 2008

The two authors of this book repeatedly warn would-be professional bloggers that it takes a great deal of hard work (besides luck) to even hope to make a decent living with a blog. The authors explicitly warn of the dangers of thinking that this is something that anyone can do.
On the other hand, the authors share valuable information to help people who understand what the commitment must be in order to possibly grow a "successful" money-making blog. This is one of those books that you read a second time because there's so much good information in it. -- Phyllis Zimbler Miller, [...]
Refreshingly hype-free June 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Darren Rowse needs no introduction to anyone serious about the business of blogging. His [...] site is the "best of breed" of all the blogs on blogging.
His book did not disappoint. It walks you step by step through all the things that are needed to create a successful blog.
Most refreshing is the lack of sentences like "You, too, can EXPLODE your income..." which are endemic in the world of blogging and web advice. Rowse neither promises the moon nor lards his book with annoying and useless hype. Nor is his prose dry and academic. He simply and clearly explains his points. If only the others would do the same!
If you want to blog for dollars, this is the book for you.
Good Reference for Beginners and Intermediate June 9, 2008
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
The authors Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett are people who not just talk the talk but also walk the walk, meaning that they know from first hand experience what they are talking about.
The only 200 pages length had me worried for a second, considering the size of the covered subject, but it was unjustified. It covers a lot of ground, but does so in reference style manner. This means that the book is not designed to be read from start to finish. You pick it up and read some sub chapters and maybe one of the ten main chapters, but then close it to apply what you just read in practice.
Although they provide a lot of references and list of tools in most cases, did they fail to provide multiple options in some instances, which is either because of strong personal preference, lack of information or because of an advertising deal. It is hard to tell for sure.
It is a useful and practical reference for newbies who think about starting a blog, but also for folks who already have a blog, but struggle with one or more aspects of the real world blogging realities.
