If there is one subject that’s been written about a lot, it’s how to make money blogging. In fact the very first blog that I ever wrote focused on that very topic, despite the fact that at the time I, myself knew very little on the subject! Happily in the last few years I’ve had the chance to learn a lot through our many blogs and have experienced the many highs and lows of running blogs in every capacity, from designing them to writing them, editing them to managing them, buying them to selling them, and everything in between. Today our blog network here at Envato grosses well over 7 figures a year and is one of the largest in the world, and certainly here in Australia.
So a year and a half ago I set out to write up all my experiences in building up blogs into businesses into a how-to book. It took way longer than I thought it would, and the resulting book is rather thick. But I’m very proud of the effort and I don’t think there’s another book out there quite like it!
The book is titled How to Build a Successful Blog Business and includes three case studies from our network, about the Tuts, FreelanceSwitch and AppStorm sites. It includes graphs of our blog income and expenses, personal experiences and step by step how-to manuals on hiring, building, writing, growing and creating successful, profitable blog businesses.
If you haven’t already, visit the Blog Business sales page where you can get your copy, as well as find out what top bloggers like Darren Rowse, Daniel Scocco and Yaro Starak are saying about the book.
