For Anyone Trying To Be A Professional Blogger

Posted on: May 28th, 2009 by Jeremy Schoemaker

During a lot of interviews I am always asked what blogs I read or would recommend to people who want to be a blogger. I always have 1 answer… Darren Rowse aka Problogger. Darren was one of my inspirations to start ShoeMoney.com and he is a true hero to any blogger. How he comes up with incredible content every day is just amazing.

Anyway Darren has just released a brand new book titled 31 days to build a better blog.

Darren gave me a preview copy a couple days ago and I can’t say enough good words about it.

The book basically takes you through 31 days of things you need to think about to make your blog better (duh).

The book is $19.95 and worth every penny! Click here to read more.

    I think Darren is an inspiration, didn’t know he inspired you too. I do find some of his posts are very similar to ones in the past, perhaps he could just update/integrate old posts?

      Most bloggers will never even make the $19.95 to pay for this book before they quit blogging out of frustration.

    Daren can provide some great insight to new people getting into blogging and those oldies looking for fresh ideas.

    I learn more from average people blogging about their real world passions (that I am also interested in) and how they go about that than reading ‘professional’ blogs about blogging.

    Darren says himself even that he blogs about Twitter and tweets about blogging.

    I don’t read books about books either, do any of you?

    Darren has always been a source of inspiration and I have been following his 31 days to a better blog post series throughout.
    His ebook has to be equally interesting and it is sure that the new bloggers would learn quite a bit from this ebook.
    i would recommend everyone to go for it.

    I just took a roundtrip around his blog and that is really awesome. Full of useful tips for bloggers. If the book is anything like the blog, wow!

    The book is cool. And well worth the $20. But if you’re unsure, read all the posts for the 31 days to a better blog. There’s an load of value just in that.

    Darren Rowse is another good guy that has blogging down to a math. He’s one of my inspirations too.

    First I read this post, I was somewhat annoyed, because it seemed to be some kind of cheap advertisement. It’s still advertisement, but this eBook is to recommend.

    the truth in blogging is that if you are not making some money after at least a year in the business, get out or get help

    If this one is from Darren than I am sure this will be worth to read. Because Darren would love to maintain his reputation and will always deliver quality work.

    I’m still amazed at how you guys make a full-time living out of blogging. I just don’t seem to be able to get enough traction to move move from doing this part-time to full-time. I suppose I need to buy the book to find out eh – lol. Thanks for the heads-up on this book.
