Believe it or not, blogging on blogging is not the tao to make money online anymore. The reason is because the blogging subject has been covered by whole lots of expert like Darren and Lorelle. It’s never become easier to find topic that they haven’t covered to blog about.

As far as I learn, this niche isn’t where the Tao of Online Money Wealth located. You should seek for other niche or may be you can keep spinning your blog to another type of blogging niche that not discussing about blogging but have the relation with it.

For example, you may cover the coding and design if you have the interest and a set of skills in this subject. Or you may be can spin the subject to some other mentality development subject to empower a blogger’s soul.

Blogging on Blogging is dead because it’s saturated or jammed by blogger. You’ll just keep echoing the idea from experts (You know, there are so many of them out there and they might have covered most of the evergreen articles) and you can’t pull much attention from readers.

Although there is an advice about being a purple cow in your niche, blogging niche is certainly not a great niche kick some ass anymore. You will struggle sooo hard to be able to get some benefit out of it.

While you can actually get lots of benefits from other niches, why you should struggle your life-and-death in blogging niche?

Except you are a great blogger like Lorelle, you might be able to find some great idea to turn this around and keep exist in the strive competition. How about if you are a complete beginner?

One word - Avoid it.

Guru like Yaro also say the same sentence. Avoid to blog your subject about blogging. It won’t worth your time.

I tasted the experience and I’ve felt the result. To tell you frankly, I build this blog by focusing around 70% of my roam time and 30% for other project. Believe it or not, other blogs that stand on a different niches, is proved to be able to generate much more income than this blog!

I was surprised too. At first, I thought if I devoted more on a blog so I can get better result! But that principle seems to be wrong.

Almost 90% of my income is not from this blog. At first, this blog is genuinely blogging on blogging tips, tricks and tweaks. My old readers will know what I’m talking about. At the time, I got no serious traffic from search engines, only from some famous social media like digg.com and StumbleUpon (with the helps from my buddies).

I decided to take a different action to spin my presentation. The result are, since I spin my subject slowly away from blogging (getting away from blogging but still related to it) , I’ve seen some nice improvement in search engine traffic, referral, and more subscribers to my feed.

Those action give me an understanding about:

Targeting a popular niches with a different approach and perspectives is better than meddling inside those niches.

This is my understanding as far as my experience growth. Blogging on Blogging is a hardcore road to blogging success. As an advise, try to switch your attention to what you love to do, instead of putting your perspective on what other peoples love.

Follow where your passion is, and the money will follow you.

It’s wise not to follow the same mistake as I did. Don’t play with fire and be a little obedience to what those experts teach us. For sure, we’ll get what we want!

It’s not limited to blog, actually. Everybody who step their foot on the web will seek for traffic to empower their businesses.
There are more than 7 positive web traffic sources (proved) that you can drive to your blog. Begin from:

1. Search Engine
2. In-Links
3. Niche Forum
4. Ezine Directories
5. Squidoo
6. Blog Comments on Niche Blog
7. StumbleUpon

To drive a search engine traffic, of course you will need to learn the skill to SEO (Search Engine Optimization) your blog. This is probably the most well-known strategy to drive more traffic to your blog since the early launched of Search Engine.

You could learn more about SEO by surfing for content about it out there or buy SEOBook (aff) as your guidance to SEO. SEOBook is a comprehensive book on SEO that teach you from the very basic skills to expert tips to play around your which is authored by a well known expert in SEO industry.

In-links, Niche Forum, Ezine Directories, Squidoo and Blog Comments are traffic that you must seek diligently. You won’t get any link-in if your write a bunch of BS posts and writing at your reader, not to your reader.

In niche forum, you will need to contribute a lot to make yourself visible. And you will need to write a catchy signature file at your bottom of your messages to generate more click-through.

Ezine Directories and Squidoo are actually similar. I post regularly on Ezine Directories and Squidoo to sell my affiliate stuffs. The result is amazing. I’ve reach my $15 a day with them. Of course, all my recommendation is what I’ve tried. Not an empty babbles to scam peoples.

The last one is my favorite one. Stumbleupon has become my greatest tool to rise my visibility since long time ago. Although there are lots of Social Media out there like Digg.com, Sphinn.com, etc. StumbleUpon still excellent in many area.

As your information only. From all of the seven sources, my biggest stream of web traffic is #4 and #7. From them alone have generate me 80% of my income thorough the month.

Although recently I’ve seen some some nice increasing in my organic search result, it still cannot match with the traffic they drove to my blog. So, what traffic are you driving at now? What is the best for you? Tell us in your comment!

Have you ever facing this problem before in your area? Well, I faced it the last 3 days and I even can’t check my mail and read any news.

It’s absolutely like the online world is collapsed! No Google, no Blog, no browsing, no chatting, no, no and no online activities. It break my working pattern into piece. It’s so stressing at first. But if you can shift your attention to other things, the situation may become beneficial.

I succeed to shift my thinking into something more useful than keep opening the “Server Not Found” Page on my FireFox.

I tried to do the following things and it proved to give me more meaningful knowledge and valuable information:

1. I read my e-books collection

You may be never realize it and never care about it when you activities is filled with blogging and communication channel building. You will find your hard drive full-packed with e-books from several Internet gurus and experts that you don’t even have time to read although you have downloaded it.

I was so surprised when I open my e-book folder. There are bunch of nice e-books that I forget to read! I happened to download and bought a lot of Internet marketing books in the last 2 weeks and I haven’t read it yet!

Re-visit your own e-books folder will bring you lots of fresh idea for your blog.

2. I arranged my stuffs - Give me more Fresh view of my desk

You may realize that your surrounding have been like a rat nest if you are a messy worker like me. One thing that I never realized it the post-it notes that sticks on my LCD screen. It’s has become a post-it notes jungle!

I forgot to remove notes and just keep stickin’ all the weeks. There is also a pile of print out papers containing lessons from several gurus. And again, I never read it! Just a glimpses and I threw it away to the corner. Bad habit.

I start arranging from my upper desk to my inner desk (Ouch, the dust is so thick! I could imagine that I actually using the desk! ). Cleaning here and cleaning there. Finally everything is settled!

The desk is look fresher now. It actually stimulation my brain and I feel I have a brand new story to share on my blog!

3. I optimized my PC - Fasten the working time

The longer you use your PC, the slower it will be. Especially if you use that PC for multiple uses. Like Multimedia, Gaming, Design, Blogging, Surfing and Downloading.

I used several program to do the task automatically, but my favorite is Tune-Up Utilities(aff). Yup, you must buy it. But you can try the free trial version before buying.

With the PC free of trouble, I can blog my day with less headache. Never looked down on computer problem if you have some. Get it fix by software or by your trusted technician ASAP.

4. Is there a point 4? Nope!

I use my 3 days time effectively to improve the other side of blogging to support the blogging itself.

Well, it’s my own activities that I transform it into a tips. I hope it could help you shift your bad day into a meaningful day.

How about you? Do you have any good tips to spend in the connection down moment?

Everybody know that Wordpress is a great blog platform. Beside having its own extend pages to add more plugins to your blog, It also have its own free theme directory.

Because it’s so easy, you tend to switch plugin and theme regularly. Well, it’s nothing wrong anyway in changing plugin. But it’s a critical problem if you switch your theme too often.

I recently stumbled on a post about reasons that make your search engine ranking dropped.

The first reason is about the changes of your blog (theme and permalinks) could effect on your search engine position.

It said that on every time you change your blog theme, search engines will re-calculate your placement on their SERP. Which mean, your current position on the keyword that you usually get inside the top 10 search results will drop, or even disappear from the result.

I’ve seen a lot of my blogger friends switching their theme often. Some even switch theme for more than 3 times in the first 3 months.

I don’t know how is the effect for them, but I felt it myself that my search engine ranking is dropping since I switch to this new theme.

But it’s not for long. Around 1-2 weeks, I started to see some better search term and result since the PR update a week ago. For example:

• I was in the 2nd and 3rd of “Transformation theme” keyword from 2.000.000 sites.
• I was in the top of “wordpress different sidebar” keyword from 1.000.000 sites. Disappear!
• No.12 out of 13.400.000 sites with the keyword - 10 questions 1 million dollars

Yup, it’s amazing stats for me!

But some keyword seems not related to my post at all. It’s a funny how Google decide the relevancy of its search result.

I’m not sure how the Search Engine look at my blog, may be it’s the inbound links that I received that decide everything.

Well, that’s not the focus that you should seek. Instead, I think we must focus on using a permanent theme for more a long term (like 6 month or more) to avoid re-calculation of your blog.

From what I’ve observed since months ago, the first person who sold his blog is Sunny aka Desi Baba (desinotes.com) Followed by another friend in Bloggerlounge.net. George Sold his high potential blog for only $1000 although the blog has a high stats and great earning potential.

Again, I found another friend of mine, Matt Jones, willing to sell his blog on Bloggingfingers.com after he have reach a great achievement on traffic and earning.

It’s sound unbelievable. May be it’s because Matt is Yaro’s student and Yaro have wisdom that make Matt to sell his blog. I wonder what is that?

He claimed to be able to earn $300+ a month and have a 10.000+ unique visitors amonth. Currently, the blog is under a price negotiation and I wonder how much Matt is going to sell this awesome blog.

Well, it’s kind of new for me to hear about blog selling and buying. May be we have arrive at an era of Blog-Real-Estate. Which make a virtual things as valuable as real things.

I found an article via problogger.net which teach us about the tips about a successful blog sale.

It’s make me clear vision that blog-selling&buying has become another future trend on earning money online.

It happen to have somebody who only blog for 2 months to sold his blog for $1000. And If the person have total of 3 blogs at the same time, he could sell his blogs for $1000 each. Which mean around he could earn a whooping $1500 a month from selling blog.

It’s unbelievable, but that’s really happening on sitepoint’s marketplace.

It’s practically not a bad idea if your only motivation to go online is to earn money wealth instead of building other wealth (personal growth, friendship, etc).

But I think day has become hard then before since the big move of Google in penalizing and algorithm change.

Wendy Piersall at her emomsathome.com blog has done some research about how the late SEO practices in no more relevant to the result like SEO experts promise before.

It seems Google’s SERP (Search Engine Result Page) doesn’t follow it’s own guideline anymore. It’s weird and I don’t have any comment on that since Google decide big part of our online business life or dead.

Read Wendy’s research for more detail about this matter.

So, what is the best practice and best SEO rules for Google now?!

The other option may be is to create more ‘Reality’ (Relevant and Quality) blog posts to support our blog. I believe future search engine will point to this ‘Reality’ matter and start recognizing ‘Reality’.

And Make sure don’t mess around with the PR matter, too. Just follow what Maki’s opinion about Google PageRank. It’s just a measurement and don’t let measurement slaved you.

Everybody dream of having a healthy blog. It’s just like having a healthy body, you can almost do anything you want and achieve anything you dream of if you have a healthy body to support you.

Healthy blog also do the same. It could help you achieve anything that you dream of, like:

• Experience Boost
• Friends across the globe
• Increasing Popularity and brand
• Earn more money
• Find better Soul Mate
• etc

To have a healthy blog, there are tips that you could follow to achieve the healthiness of blog, just like following your yoga instructor to exercise in a right ways to have a healthy body.

Let’s see what is the tips:

First: Choose a Great Hosting

Yes, a GREAT hosting. Don’t bother with ‘good’ web hosting that could offer you cheaper. GREAT hosting makes your blog future GREAT because you will not face any trouble on your blogging journey with them.

Many bloggers ignore this part. As a result, they get several diseases regularly like:

• Server down
• Database Corruption
• MySQL errors
• Account Suspension
• Unable to hold spike traffic
• Website inaccessible / Unknown reason
• Slow Customer Service, etc

Their blog become unhealthy with or without their direct attention. Some funny case is, when you browse by your own, you will see you site still there, but when your reader tries to access through their side, they get an error message. I’ve ever experience such a funny case when I host my blog on a local cheap hosting. I suggest you not to use them (cheap hosting) to avoid those diseases.

Need a recommendation? Read my Top 3 Web Host Review.

Second: Choose a GREAT blogging Platform

Blogging platform is the core tool for your blog. You will need to choose the right on to avoid any difficulty that could harm you in the future.

There is no other blogging platform that could beat Wordpress for the moment. Because we know that Wordpress is:

• Free
• Ease of Use
• Many Features
• Powerful Platform

Almost all Expert Bloggers / Professional Bloggers use Wordpress as their Home of Hope and Success.

Third: Choose a Great Blog Design

Design is your face. If you want a healthy face, you will use a lot of tools and cosmetics to make it look handsome or beautiful. Your face is your identity and your face is your first impression for everybody you’ve met.

Try to give a good impression with a neat and professional design for your blog. If needed, buy a premium design is better than using the free downloadable one.

Do you like the design of this blog? If so, you could actually have it as your blog design!
Click here to go to the download page and make sure to read the manual careful before download. Hurry, it’s a limited theme edition for limited download time only!

Fourth: Choose a Suitable Topic

Yes, a suitable topic. Not a niche topic our long-tail-mouse method anymore. Although choosing a niche topic could help you a lot, blogging on a ’suitable topic’ to your hobbies and interests is better.

Don’t afraid of the competition ahead. If you are blogging at your suitable niche and topic, no matter how competitive it is, you will see it as a challenge instead of obstacles and you will grow faster than anybody else who stay safe inside the cage of untapped niche.

Fifth: Choose the Right Master

Everybody, with no exception, is finding a mentor for their online successes consciously or unconsciously.

We sometimes keep thinking that we could find out a way for ourselves without anyone’s help. But the truth is, you need somebody more than you could even imagine.

That’s why you will see stuffed entries inside your feed reader and a bunch of email from peoples that you subscribed long time ago in your inbox, and lots of e-books inside your hard drive.

Avoid thinking of self-survival in blogging. Having a “Master” behind you would ensure a better future.

Recommended Paid Masters - Yaro Starak From BlogMastermind

Sixth: Learn from the Master

Believe it or not, many blogger have a strange habit. They bought ebooks, or they pay for Courses, but learn nothing from it.

Why? Because of 2 common reasons:

1. Not Teachable and Close minded

It’s because of their mind are close. You know, nowadays gurus and masters are averagely a young guys and girls. Sometimes people just don’t like to open their mind and learn from people who are younger than them.

Well, I cannot judge anything about that. It a free thinks and free will era. But make sure to put your priority in the “content quality” and not in the age problem.

Learn it properly and let them guide you to your success is better than debating the age and experience problems.

2. Lazy Bone

Oke, face the truth. I’m lazy, you are lazy, everybody is lazy! We want a quick solution! Quick menu, quick breakfast, quick service, instant results, overnight success, overnight millionaire, etc and etc.

All is created because of our Lazy mentality. In fact, nothing is instant in reaching your own wealth (except you win a lottery! )

If you have make a commitment to buy ebooks or pay for the course, learn from it instead leaving it as a garbage.

Seventh: Choose a Suitable Promotion Methods

Blogging without marketing is sound like breakfast without food. No blog will success without proper marketing.

There is bunch of marketing tips around the net that you could use for your advantages. Actually if you have choose the right master to learn with, he/she will teach you the best marketing strategies and tactics to boost your blog visibility.

Well, if you still haven’t enrolled as a pupil of any Gurus or Master, the following marketing techniques are my personal choices which are pretty good to help me promote my blog:

• Article marketing
• Google Adwords
• Comment Marketing

Article marketing and comment marketing is free. It’s the fastest medium to promote your blog. You could really enjoy a minor instant result here. But you will need to do it consistently to achieve a greater result.

Eighth: Exercise Regularly

Exercise in blogging is your posting frequency. Make sure to work out your blog properly everyday, or with your chosen frequency to achieve a healthy blog.

An exercise menu that you should have is as below:

• publish post regularly every week (suggested 5-6 posts a week)
• Post a guest post at your friend’s blog within the same niche every week
• Give comment regularly on 30+ related niche blog
• Create 5-7 articles and submit it to Ezine Directory

Well, that’s the tips. Hope it’s useful for you to strengthen your blog and prolong your blog life.

If you have download my latest Wordpress theme, you may notice that there is a little different from the orginal. There are some features that I eliminated to decrease file size.

One of the feature that is not available on the theme is my invention of “Advance Reading Options” section.

It’s my new method to increase my blog pageview and conversion rate for my older posts. Inside of ARO, you would get the following list of Posts:

• Related Posts
• Top Posts
• Recent Posts
• Random Posts

It’s pretty useful when peoples arrive at my blog via search engine. When the finish reading the current posts, they will be offered automatically a lists of related posts to read more.

Actually, the arrangement of ARO (where Related posts at the front and Random posts at the end) is using the psychologic call to make reader taking their actions.

ARO is using a AJAX animation called Script.aculo.us. Visit the link to get some point about what it is.

To setup ARO for your blog, no matter what your theme is, you can use the following 1-2-3 steps to apply ARO:

1. First of all, visit Script.aculo.us and download the latest version of the Js script.
2. Extract it the follow files into one folder labeled ‘js’ (or ‘javascripts’):
   1. prototype.js
   2. scriptaculous.js
   3. builder.js
   4. effects.js
   5. dragdrop.js
   6. slider.js
   7. controls.js
3. Upload the folder ‘js’ to your current theme folder in your web server (if you are using Transformation, upload inside the transformation folder)
4. Add the following code to your header.php file:

   1 2	<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/js/scriptaculous.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

5. Update the file.

Now, you’ve activated the script function to allow AJAX animation. You will not see any change, yet. The next step is to create the following element for your page:

• Set a section of your page that you want to animate
• 2 button - Hide and Show button

There are a lot of transition effect and animation available for you to use via Script.aculo.us. Primarily, I use these following effects only:

• BlindUp - Effect to hide the chosen section
• BlindDown - Effect to drop down a section of animation

Use this following code as your template and change the content to suit your blog CSS:

<h2><strong>Advance Reading Option</strong></h2>
<h3><a onclick="Effect.BlindDown('advance')" style="cursor: pointer"><strong>[show]</strong></a></h3>
<!-- begin - animation section --> 
    <div id="advance" style="display:none"> 
       <h2>Related Posts</h2> 
            <ul> 
                <!--Related post script goes here--> 
            </ul> 
        <h2>Top Posts</h2> 
            <ul> 
                <!--Top Posts script goes here--> 
            </ul> 
        <h2>Random Posts</h2> 
            <ul> 
                <!--Random posts script goes here--> 
            </ul> 
    </div>
 
<!-- end - animation section -->
 
<h3><a onclick="Effect.BlindUp('advance')" style="cursor: pointer"><strong>[hide]</strong></a></h3>

Update your page and try it with your favorite browser. It should be compatible with most of the nowadays browser.

The animation comes hidden by default. There are an arguments around the web about the laziness of reader will result in no clickthrough if I hide the list at first and ask them to click to open.

So, if you choose to show everything at first, remove the style="display:none;" inside the div tag.

You may also want to switch the location of Hide and Show button, too. It’s weird to place the show button up front when all content is shown at first!

You could change the content to almost any kind of online content that you could imagine.

It’s depend on you now.

It’s pretty easy to enhance your sidebar to appear differently on the homepage and single post. A different sidebar in single post is useful when you want to switch what reader see in homepage (a widget may be) into an ads to monetize your blog.

The steps are simple and I will share you the tutorial in a 1-2-3 steps.

To make this tutorial simple, I will use my current theme that I’m using now to make the modification (Super Adsense Theme by Gobala Krishnan)

Starting from Preparation:

• Open up your FTP Client Application and Login to your Web Server.
• Point to your Wordpress Theme Folder to download the following files:
  • single post
  • Sidebar
  • l_sidebar (there are 2 files, l_sidebar and r_sidebar. It’s up to you to choose which one you are going to modify)
    (located in: wp-content/themes/[theme_file_name]/)
• After downloading, save it in a folder and name it properly to avoid confusion. Create a back-up files if you don’t want to mess things up. Now you will edit everything offline.

Start Editing the Single Post File:

• In the folder window, start by right clicking on the single post file (single.php) and select [open with...]. Choose Wordpad or Notepad to edit the file.
• Scroll through the end of the code, you will see a line of code like this:
  

  </div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_foote(); ?>

• Make a change to the code to:
  

  </div>
<?php includ 'singlesidebar.php'; ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

• Save as single.php (no file name change because you are going to overwrite the existing file in your server) and close it.

Editing the Sidebar File:

• Right Clicking on the Sidebar file (sidebar.php) and open it with your favorite text editor.
• You will see the following code:
  

  <div id="sidebar">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/l_sidebar.php‘); ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/r_sidebar.php’); ?>
</div>

• Change the code into the following code:
  

  <div id="sidebar">
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_l_sidebar.php‘); ?>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/r_sidebar.php’); ?>
</div>

• Save as singlesidebar.php and close it.

Editing the last file - l_sidebar.php:

• Right Clicking on the file l_sidebar.php inside the folder and open it again with your favorite text editor.
• You will see the code of the current display of the sidebar in superadsense theme. Change it to something you like, add and remove as you wish. It’s your sidebar for your single post view, so please consider well what you want to put and remove.
• Finally, Save the file as single_l_sidebar.php and close all the windows (except your FTP client window).

Uploading steps:

• Go to your FTP Application. Re-open if you have close it.
• Point to the folder that containing the modified .php files:
  1. single.php
  2. singlesidebar.php
  3. single_l_sidebar.php
• Upload 3 of them to your web server in this location:
  • wp-content/themes/[theme_file_name]/
• overwrite the single.php file
• Well Done!

Yup, now you will have a different sidebar in your single post view. Have Fun!

Attention: You many not be able to use this tips if you are a sidebar_widget user. It may crash because the sidebar is different now.

One every Thursday, you will enjoy several tips and tricks to increase your techie side in blogging. Get prepare to code some page and learn some design skills to improve your blog “looks and feels”.

Consider to subscribe to the feed or via email to receive update, tips and tricks to make sure you don’t miss one.

Please erase that thinking. I know some of their achievement are so amazing that will make your stress over your own achievement.

Take a look at Everton’s earning here.

There are 2 common emotions will appear after you read the post:

• Feeling Jealous, and
• Feeling Challenged!

Jealousy is the prove of our lack of self-esteem and self-awareness. I’m also happened to be a person who jealous of other’s achievement couple months ago. I could never bear with John Chow’s earning and Shoemoney’s adsense check!

Yes, I think it’s human’s natural habit to feel that way. My advise is, don’t. Don’t feel jealous, instead, shift your feeling to a positive one or make it as a challenge for yourself.

Why don’t be jealous?

Because when you are feeling jealous, you will do nothing but keep complaining if they are cheater, or the net is cruel to you. You will waste your time for nothing just to check at their stats and keep finding how they make that amazing income although working part-time.

Jealousy will make us feel angry, and don’t want to communicate or make the blogger as your death-or-alive eternal enemy instead learning from him how to achieve the same goals.

Try hard enough to think reversibly and take it as a challenge. Could you reach his earning after 2-3 years of blogging? Could you bear to write 1 post a day and write 1095 posts continuously for the next 3 years? Or may be more??

It’s an easy task if you think it’s easy. If you could make it happen, your life will be easier.

What you have seen in their earning and traffic stats is the fruits from the trees they planted last 3 years. Not the matter of overnight result like betting of horse race and win the first prize.

Shift your thought to positive one. Instead of jealous of other’s achievement, why don’t you put your time to create more excellence posts to blow your reader away?

Blogging not only about creating post, is also about how effective you can use your energy toward any aspect of your life, including relationship with others. Personally, I think blogging is like a our life, and blogosphere is our environment.

As long as you live harmonically with your environment, every part of your life will begin to rise slowly according to your dreams.

So, my 2 cents advise is:

no Jealous, ok?

Make life a better place by helping & adoring each other instead of feeling jealous. It won’t help you with anything but destroying your own bright future.

Thanks for taking your time to read this post. See ya again in the next post. Please do comment if you have objection or opinion.

I will post about ‘Blogger relationship’ topic every Tuesday starting today. I will have more focus topic on each day of every week. Hope to see you again and consider to subscribe to my feed to receive updates or via email to your personal inbox.

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!
