A Great Starter Guide
3.75 out of 5 stars
I had a hard time with this one – not because it was well written (because it was) but more because I realized pretty quickly that this book isn’t for me. I’m an “established” blogger with okay traffic. Most of this book (more than 2/3) was written for someone just getting started at blogging. And was written in a non-technical point of view.
I have a technical background – I know enough about hosting, WordPress, blogging, etc. that a lot of this didn’t really jump out at me. That being said, if you are new to blogging or aren’t sure if you should take the plunge or not – this book would be really helpful.
I did really enjoy the narration. I thought that she did a great job narrating the book and her style and pacing were excellent for an atypical narrator.
Things that you can expect to find in Blog, Inc. are how to get starting, picking a name, registering said name, looking into other blogs for inspiration, also protecting yourself from copycats (while not being one yourself). In the later chapters, she touches a bit on what to do when/if the blog takes off and you need to monetize or bring other people on.
Overall, a good book for someone starting out but it wasn’t as helpful to me personally.
