Blog Blazers

Just finished reading Blog Blazers by Stephane Grenier and I had to run here to write about it, I am that impressed with this book! Yes, it is a real book, found at Amazon, not an ebook.

And what a book this is. You know by now that in my endeavour to become a wealthy internet marketeer, I am mostly focusing on blogging. So I am devouring everything I can find on blogging. Well, unless they are very expensive, but so far I haven't found one like that. But I digress.

I came across this book by pure coincidence, I was browing the Amazon pages, and actually reading about The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferriss as I've heard that it turned so many people's lives around, it's such a great book. So while cruising Amazon, I somehow saw the link on Blog Blazers. Guess what, I quickly put the first book in my shopping cart and went off to read the blogging book. How could I withstand??

If you go to Amazon and check up on the book, it has really great reviews. We know how Amazon allows every review, so if there are people that honestly didn't like something, you will read about it. For me Amazon is one of the best review sites that there is when it comes to regular books. It never failed me so far. So I put it my shopping cart as well, and I bought both books. Now for some reason, the Blogging book arrived already, while The 4 hour work not yet.

So I've started reading the book and just finished it last night. And what a book it was. I'm seriously pleased and I've learned so much about blogging 'refined'.

Basically the book is a set of interviews of the major blogging gurus around the net, including Seth Godini, Yaro Stark, Andy Brice, J.D Roth and many others. I think it was a total of 40 internet gurus interviewed. Now each of them know LOTS about blogging. What Stephane did was pure genius! Each of these people had various and interesting answers to the very same question Stephane asked them. Their brains were picked mercilessly with questions like 'how do you make money with your blog', 'which are the best blogs recommended for a newbie to start making money', etc, and if you read the book carefully, you can really get the hidden gems of their success for many of them. I have to say, this book stays on my bookshelf for good. Is that good!

Click here to go read the reviews at Amazon and then tell me if you're sorry to spend a measly $16 for reading it. Beats those $47 ebooks that the 'so-called' gurus are selling on their hyped up sites.
