Rating: - One of the best on the market
I am new to blogging and there is so much rubbish on the internet about how to make money from blogging and how to drive traffic to your site etc.....Some of the people giving advice on Youtube look rather suspect. There are also a dozen or so books on blogging but none that I have found as helpful as 'Problogger'.

*I have no affiliation to 'problogger' but the website is brilliant too. It is a rich source of advice and information*

I think Darren and Chris have written a book which is suitable for complete beginners who want to know more about the world of blogs and bloggers.

I won't give too much away but the contents are:

1. Blogging for money
2. Niche Blogging
3. Setting up your blog
4. Blog writing
5. Blog income and earning strategies
6. Buying and selling blogs
7. Blog networks
8. Blog promotion and marketing
9. Secrets of successful blogs
10.Creating something worthwhile

Rating: - Ways to make money from your blog
I'm new to blogging. Never had a blog until just recently.

I'm taking a small business class, and one of the things the teacher recommended was having a blog. Search engines love it, and its very easy to update.

I bought this book and a couple of books on wordpress, and what I like about this book is it covers ways to make money online.

I bought this great little wordpress book that showed me how to get online, and start blogging, and I started thinking, how can I make money, how can I get more of my customers to use my website, and see my special deals on my flowers.

This book gave me some good ideas.

The problem is, it is not as detailed as I would like. It is very much so not step-by-step. I'm a little confused at times. And I do not see how to implement this stuff.

I'm glad I got the book, I think it is the only thing like it, others recommended it in my class. But I just cant use it right now.

Rating: - Good book for absolute beginners, boring read for existing bloggers
I've been blogging for a few years now casually and didn't find this book useful almost at all. The authors don't give away any of their "secrets" or point you at what they have had successes with personally, it's one giant introductory piece of writing that just tips you towards different things to try.

For someone that has a brand new blog and has never done it before, this is a good intro.

For someone looking to take their blogging to the next level, this book is a boring read and won't say anything you can't get online by Googling.

I'd also point out that this book is written exactly like the ProBlogger articles are written -- it gives you just enough to peak your interest in a subject, then never *actually* addresses the question conclusively. Their articles online are very much the same way except every one of those articles point you at buying their book.

Also don't expect to see any monetary numbers in this book either, they far ... Read More

Rating: - Great for a Newbie - Not so Great for a non Newbie
If you have never blogged or don't have any idea about how you should start then this is a good guide.

If you are a blogger looking for solid information on how to grow your blog and learn new tricks this is not a good buy.
