This book is great for business owners and other business executives that are thinking about creating a blog.
There are thousands of blogs launched into the blogosphere everyday. How many of those are going to be successful? Why do they fail? and how can you build yours differently?
This practical guide will take you step by step through the process of setting up a successful blog.
Research
This is the first thing anyone should do before that start a blog and after reading this book, I believe it's one of two fatal mistakes majority of blog owners make.
The book discusses the following topics related to research -
- Determining your focus - Who is your audience? the purpose of your blog?
- Commitment issues - How much time will you dedicated to blogging?
- Tools available - Make sure you start with the right blogging software for your blog
Setting up you blog
Getting the design and functionality of your blog right from the beginning can save a lot of work down the track.
The book discusses what tools are available for your blog, which ones are important and why.
Maintaining your blog
A blog that is not updated can make you look bad but as the book discusses, this depends on the type of blog and the information in the blog.
Marketing your blog correctly can make or break your blog. Using tools like RSS allows your visitors to subscribe to your blog and get notified when you make a new post.
Conclusion
The book is suitable for all levels. Beginners will learn terminologies and concepts that are vital pieces of information required before setting up a blog.
Advances users will learn from the authors experiences and tools they use. I'm an experienced Internet user and had a few 'uh ha' moments and learnt some new pieces of information that I will be using from now on.
If you are going to setup a blog, make sure you are passionate about what you write about and that when the times get tough (no one is reading you blog) that you keep pushing through by continually posting and marketing your blog appropriately!
