Review: Blogging Success: Tips for Creating Content, Getting Traffic and Monetizing Your Blog

Blogging Success: Tips for Creating Content, Getting Traffic and Monetizing Your Blog is a must read for every new or seasoned blogger.

Holly Hanna at The Work at Home Woman created this book for the blogging mom but the information honestly applies to anyone who writes a blog.

Starting out on a brand new blog, this book lays out the basic framework on where to begin. Holly writes about the things I needed to know when I began my blog over a year ago. I made some serious mistakes at the beginning of my blog and it took so much time to figure out how to fix it. Since her book did not exist then, I spent hours and hours researching what I needed to do and how to do it. How easy it would have been to just follow each individual step she writes about.

If you have been blogging for awhile like I have, you probably have the basics down and are ready for more. After all these months of blogging I was surprised to find so many new places and techniques I had never heard of before. I have already implemented a few but it will take me awhile to get through all of them. I now have a to do list. Thanks Holly!?

Monetization does not happen by itself. Revenue may be the next step for you or something you have avoided. Quick summaries of each individual method with links to different networks provides a wealth of knowledge.

Blogging Success: Tips for Creating Content, Getting Traffic and Monetizing Your Blog reminds me of the bucket of candy from trick or treating around the neighborhood. Some houses are dark and you know no treats will be found there so you go to the next house. One by one you get one small piece of candy or maybe you happen upon that rare house that hands out a full size candy bar and a flashlight. Yes, we know exactly which house that one is in our neighborhood. Well, I don’t remember exactly but my children sure do. Each little piece of candy hardly seems like much to some people, but when you go home you end up with a container full of goodies. Each little piece of candy adds up into this gigantic mound of candy.

Holly’s book is the bucket of candy from trick or treating. She provides the map to the houses with the full size candy bars and bonus flashlights.

The 44 paged book provides a broad overview of what to do and provides quick details on how to do it. If you are looking for a book that acts like a GPS guide and gives you directions from point A to point Z with every turn and bump in the road detailed at nauseum, then this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a book that points you in the direction and sends you down the right road, then this might be a good fit for you. There is no fluff or pages filled with pictures. Just her writing and pointers from what she has learned as a blogger.

I leave you with Holly’s own words.

Here’s what blogging can do for you…

Blogging can earn you extra income, introduce you to people and opportunities that you wouldn’t have been privileged to before, position you as an expert in your field, and it will allow you to work-at-home and transition into a business that you actually love.
