ProBlogger, the Book
Thursday, April 10th, 2008By now, you would no doubt have heard of the about-to-be-released book by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett.
Published by Wiley, the book, titled ProBlogger Book — Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income, is a 240-page paperback due to be released in May (a few short weeks).
Here’s how they describe the book at the Wiley website…
Blogging has become a popular and fascinating pastime for many, but more and more bloggers are finding it can also be an excellent source of direct or indirect income. Although the barriers to starting a blog are low, without expert guidance it is easy to get frustrated when success doesn’t match expectations. Written by the creator of the world’s #1 resource for making money with blogs, ProBlogger takes the reader from absolute beginner to earning money from or as a result of blogging. Through step by step practical lessons the reader will choose a blog topic, analyze the market, set up a blog, promote it and earn revenue.
Having read the first chapter (22 pages), I must say I was mightily impressed by the amount of information offered - heck, that chapter alone could easily sell as a $27 ebook online anytime.
Apart from generating the two bloggers enormous publicity and credibility (heck, there’s no real money to be made in publishing traditional books), this book will no doubt bring blogging closer to the mainstream. Expect a swathe of new blogs (and probably blog networks) popping up over the next 12 months.
With all this activity, I can see many little niches opening up for the lifestyle entrepreneur to take advantage of - more of that in future posts.
They have setup a special website for the book at ProBloggerBook.com
