Blogging Blueprint

Glen Allsopp has released his Blogging Blueprint, a 69 page ebook about how to build a successful blog. It’s free, with no email address required.
If you read at least a handful of personal development blogs then you’ve probably heard of Glen. He quickly took his blog PluginID to over 3,000 subscribers, and he seems to comment and guest post on just about every personal development site. He wrote this ebook to answer all the questions people were asking him about how they can grow a successful blog of their own.
If you’re relatively new to blogging, you’ll probably be most interested in “Part Two: Your Story.” This is where he gives you all the nuts and bolts, from choosing a niche to setting up WordPress to SEO to spreading your brand. This part is probably the most useful for most people, because it’s stuff you can take action on immediately.
But because I’ve been blogging for a while, I was more interested in Glen’s personal story and insights. You’ll find them in “Part One: My Story” and “Part Three: My Secrets.” You’ll read about things such as how he made over $20,000 in 4 months from one blog, why he quit college and how it paid off, and how blogging enabled him to land his dream job.
If you happen to be drinking hot coffee, you’ll want to set that down before reading the footnote on page 14. He talks about a huge mistake he made, which thankfully he was able to correct, but it still makes me want to scream “No!” to his past self. But hey, that kind of stuff is what makes his Blogging Blueprint interesting.

Good value added post. Nice and sweet. Blogging isn’t my thing but there are laws that MUST be follwed in order to succeed at anything in life.
His book is probably worth reading for those(ME) that are not into blogging as well. I am sure he has plenty of “success laws” throughout the ebook.

@ Ron, while it’s mostly specific to blogging, he does have some general success laws included as well. For someone who’s not into blogging, it might make sense to just read parts 1 and 3.

I’ve just finished reading Blogging Blueprint. There’s indeed a lot of great information on how to blog well, just like Yaro Starak’s Blog Profits Blueprint. It’s definitely worth reading!
Cheers~

@ Mark, yes, both of these ebooks are terrific for blogging information, and they’re free. I’m sure there are paid ebooks that offer less value than these freebies!

I’m a fan of modeling success and I love how success always leaves clues.
