Problogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-figure Inome, av Darren Rowse og Chris Garrett.

Dette er en helt ny bok som akkurat har kommet ut. Den er skrevet av to av verdens mest kjente bloggere. Darren Rowse og Chris Garrett skriver begge svært godt og er veldig åpne og straighte i bloggene sine. Det er de i denne boken også.

Blogging kan handle om mange ting, og det å skulle tjene penger trenger ikke å bety noe i det hele tatt for mange av dem som blogger. Denne boken retter seg imidlertid først og fremst mot folk som ønsker å tjene penger på bloggene sine. Om du er en av dem, er det veldig få bøker der ute som har i nærheten av så mange, så gode og så gjennomtenkte råd som denne boken.

Jeg har akkurat lest den, og for meg fremstår dette som en av de aller beste bokinvesteringene jeg noen sinne har gjort! I tillegg til å være nyttig og tvinge leseren til å tenke, er den rett og slett uhyggelig bra skrevet.

Den kan også bestilles via amazon UK, via denne linken: ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six Figure Income.

Publish & Prosper: Blogging for Your Business, by DL Byron & Steve Broback

Blogs have come to stay. There are now millions of blogs on the net, about every possible subject you can imagine. Some blogs are extremely informal, reporting on the everyday lives of their authors, while others are corporate ones, run by companies that try to establish new, more conversational types of communication with their customers.

Here at this site we have started a couple of blogs too, and found it to be an interesting medium for communication. Blogs are more informal by nature, and most blog software provide for easy communication between bloggers and readers.

Publish & Prosper: Blogging for Your Business is a little gold mine about blogging. It is short, only about 180 pages long, but it deals with most of the topics that are relevant to establishing and running a blog. It covers topics like blog design, tools you need for blogging, writing and launching your blog, as well as managing and monitoring your blog. The tone is informal and conversational. And the authors have a solid background as bloggers and as corporate advisors to corporations that have established blogs aimed at customers (like Boing or Bluefly).

Publish & Prosper: Blogging for Your Business is a well written, very informative book that covers a wide range of topics about blogs and blogging. Recommended!
