Reading has become part of my daily habit now. No day without reading. To tell you the truth, I hate reading when in my younger age. I never touch books over than half hour and will get dizzy in my first 15 minutes reading! ![]()
But now, I could handle longer reading with my tips to break reading into a small partial. Since that new skill attached on my habit, I have read hundred of books about Internet marketing, Personal Growth, blog marketing, and so on.
I managed to read more then 200 of mini reports, and more then hundred of e-books in every part of Internet marketing and how to make money online.
Yup, you may feel that is so many books I have read. But actually, that’s still an amateur reading level in this era of information. (only 30% from the total of my ebooks collection)
One type of e-book that I’m always searching for is about “How to increase my Blog Popularity”, in a non-scam methods.
I have read a lot of scam e-books too! They are totally wasting my time reading books from an amateur who pretend to be a professional and expert in the field. You could spot their BS directly from the beginning.
Just don’t waste your time on that one. Is better for you to read problogger.net or doshdosh.com. They sure will give a far more better information for your improvement.
Well, along with my blogging journey, I have found some of useful e-books for our improvement. I will share you my personal favorite collection of e-books and hope you could get some benefits from it too.
My top 1 Favorite e-book is:
Yaro Starak’s Blog Profits Blueprint
Well, I don’t know why. May be I was hypnotized by his writing style and 7 years experiences in Internet Marketing and 2 years in Blog Marketing.
His Blog Profits BluePrint is just too awesome!
BS? Yes, if you haven’t read the book!
If you have read the book, I guarantee you will give a thumb up to the blueprint!
Yaro Claimed to make around $5000+ a month and keep rising each month (Now is around 6500+ already!). The most amazing method is the ‘minimalist method’ of working 2 hours per-day to get the maximum effort of 5000+ a month from your blog.
This Blueprint is actually a give away for free and if you are interested his style of writing, check out his Mentoring programs too at www.blogmastermind.com.
No blown away, nor One Time Offer. It’s just stood there to wait for people who are serious to make a living online.
Aaron Wall’s SEObook
I think no e-book in the net is going to beat Aaron’s SEObook. I actually buy it for $67 and I get this 328 Page of e-book. And finish reading it in 2 weeks time.
Well, it’s all about how to optimize your blog, your current posts, and your upcoming posts to a better view for Search Engines. Since the Google haven’t update their PR, many people have losing their mood because they can’t get advertiser to their blog which mean no money at the end.
But don’t get discourage yet. I heard from Yaro that the PR update is in progress now.
So, make sure to back to the surface and SEO your blog properly with the help of this book before Google update their PR. Who know you will get PR 6 this update?
Try to use this fun tool: Iwebtool’s Google PR prediction.
I got 5, and I’m happy with it although that may be not happening. It’s just a prediction, though.

Yup, that’s my 2 favorite books for this period. I wonder if someone could write a better e-books in the future.
Supportive e-Books
There are many of them actually. But I comes up with only 5 that is pretty useful. Here there are:
John Chow’s Make Money Online Ebook
This is the e-book that teach you the great evil skills to make money! ![]()
Kidding, of course. John Chow is a real dot com mogul of this era. Following his explosive like blog traffic spike is always fun. This is my first purely about make money online and the best book I have ever had. Well, somebody my think I’m worshiping to an evil. But it’s other’s perspective. Not my perspective. Why best money maker is an evil? That’s because people are jealous to his achievement or some kind like that.
If you think making money like John do is evil, then prepare to lose a lot of opportunities to earn money online. I always thinking about how to make money like John Chow. Following his idea may become the best advises in making money online. So, this book also become one of my reading recommendation.
Chitika’s Blog Bash
What happen when Expert’s Opinions are gather into one book? Hm, I could say that this book will be the comprehensive guide for your success! Yup, that’s what Blog Bash is.
Chitika gather up 30 expert in our blogging field to ask them to share their important lessons for us.
I read this book months ago and still re-read it several time a week to find some inspiration within the book. You should have this one if you haven’t got any.
jack Humphrey’s Authority Black Book
A black book sounds evil. But this authority black book sounds interesting!
It teach you how to get traffic by make a good use of Social Media like Digg, Netscape, StumbleUpon, etc.
Must read for everyone who love to have a spiky traffic stats in their blog.

Hi Iantrepreneur. SEO book cover all the basic to expert tips in SEO. And yes, yesterday news is not sufficient for SEO. That’s why you should read his chapter everyday at http://www.seobook.com.

Reply to Ken XuPersonally, I think the book is the record of the SEO tips and tricks for the first phase of optimization. the second phase is to follow what he write in his blog.
You found me through Facebook? Please add me to your friendlist.
