With the exception of some of the historical details the author provides about his own journey into the world of blogging, all of the information in this book is readily available on-line.
In fact, just read "ProBlogger."

As is the case with many business books, this would have made a better article. There is a great deal of redundancy, and a disappointing shortage of insights. In addition, for some reason the authors decided to alternate writing without letting you know which one was doing the writing. I feel "Blogging for Business" (Holz and Demopoulos) and especially "The New Rules of Marketing & PR" (David Meerman Scott) were much more interesting and informative.

I recommend this book for any serious blogger.
Casual bloggers may not be interested, but if you have big plans for your blog, this book will steer you in the right direction.
Though it's not a big book, it's chock-full of great ideas to help you monetize your blog, optimize it to attract more traffic and generally improve its overall look and feel.
Although I'm fairly new to blogging, I have several blogs and this book was just what the doctor ordered to help me improve them.
I have pages of notes and am currently implementing them to help me take the next step in my blogging education.
The authors advise that blogging isn't a get-rich-quick scheme. But if you're willing to dig in to make it work for you, this book's the one you need.

I started blogging earlier in the year to:
- gain hands on experience to apply in my job
- provide some insight in a couple of niche topics.
Recently, I purchased ProBlogger by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett to source some inspiration to renew my commitment to blogging.
After reading the following chapters, I'm back on track, more motivated then when I started my blogging hobby.
* Chapter 2: Niche Blogging
* Chapter 3: Setting Up Your Blog
* Chapter 4: Blog Writing.

At first, I was slightly put-off by the title, as I am not really interested in blogging as a source of income. However, after reading it, I have to say that it's also a very practical guide to everyday blogging.
It covered each of its topics in-depth. The book didn't just tell me what to do, but how to do it, and where additional resources are located. For example, the "20 Types of Blog Posts" section gave me a TON of great ideas.
The authors also weighed both the pros and cons of implementing each specific piece of advice, which made making choices about how to implement my blog much easier.
Personally, I didn't like the section on buying & selling blogs. Instead, I would have preferred extended conversations on blog promotion, creating something worthwhile, and social media. (A follow on book idea?)
In summary, the opinionated authors gave plenty of specific advice. This book is literally *packed* with wisdom!
