A Review of Blogging in Action

Blogging in Action is the package that gets us the most excited. This is a great ebook, and ebook might just be the wrong word to describe it.’ The author, Shaun Taylor, has certainly outdone himself — but what you really care about is how the book and resource can help you, so let’s get to it!

When you open the ebook for the first time you notice that it is very large with 258 pages of content! This is a huge accomplishment in the world of ebook publishing. Some might express concent that it will be too much information in too compact a space, but the organization of the content makes it a non-issue.

Shaun starts out by outlining his goals for the book. He wants it to be current and up to date, cover many different topics, appeal to different experience levels, distill theory and concepts into action steps, and create a clear path for anyone who wants to make their mark as a blogger. He achieved his goal.

As much as we try to give unbiased and impartial reviews and tell you both the good and the bad, it is really difficult to do in this case. Even with a critcal viewpoint, there isn’t anything that screams out to be changed here. There are times we thought, “wait a sec, he should have…oh, he did!”

For those who are concerned about having to dig through a pile of information they already know or aren’t interested in, Shaun takes a unique approach to solving that problem. He not only has the standard table of contents, he also has ‘tags’ that indicate when you should and shouldn’t read. For example, if he includes information that isn’t essential he marks it with the tag! Very effective for those individuals who do not have much time to read.

Anyone can grasp the concepts presented in this ebook, as everything is covered from A to Z. The different sections in Blogging in Action generally start out with an overview of that particular section, but then they quickly move into action steps. This is fantastic, because you can’t become a successful blogger just by reading, you need to actually do something with the material. After reading this ebook you are not convinced to to that, nothing will!

The table of contents for things you’ll learn is too large to list, but here are some of our favorites:

  • Choosing a platform
  • What is a blog?
  • Configuring your blog for readers and search engines
  • Backing up your blog
  • What is a niche?
  • How to perform keyword research!)
  • Building your brand
  • Creating compelling content
  • Mistakes to avoid (this goes against what is taught in our least favorite blogging book)
  • Which directories to submit to
  • Article marketing
  • Finding .edu and .gov links!
  • Using social networking sites and strategy
  • Monetization strategies
  • Quick start videos for every step of the way

Clearly, Blogging in Action is the definitive guide for anyone who wants to get started with blogging. The book is professionally designed and very well edited. You can tell it was created for readers of all levels. If you want to make sure you get the right book on how to make money blogging the first time, this is the one to get.
