I believe in blogging, food and giving
support where support is due, so when Laalaa from Dolce Vanity let it slip that her pearls
of blogging wisdom had been published in a book, you have to believe I rushed
to Amazon to get myself a copy of ‘Get Rich Blogging’ the minute my pay slip
hit my account.
My copy came this week and I’ve spent a lot
of time over the weekend on my bed with some sticky tabs and a highlighter pouring
over it . . . don’t worry I was aware that this
book is not a ‘get rich quick’ scheme for bloggers (despite what the catchy title would lead
you to believe). Instead Zoe Griffin; author and blogger behind Live Like a VIP, takes readers through what
it really means to have a blog and how to get some revenue from it.
'Get Rich Blogging" covers everything from naming to designing your blog to
gaining readership, basically the majority of the things you might want to know about the workings of a blog has been broken down
with great, practical examples with lots of helpful website links.
While I didn't really find this book very useful to me as it did contain a lot of things that I already know and I felt that it didn't stress just how difficult it is to blog and gain recognition in the blogging market, I would give this book to a new blogger or some who has just gotten into blogging as it would quickly round-up what they need to know and they can skip through the whole "trial and error" process that I went through. While I didn't agree with everything this book said I think that it has helped refocus on my blog and what I need to do to give it a little push.
