Let me start by saying that I jumped at the opportunity to review this new ebook because Holly Hanna is all about providing solid content for women in business. This ebook was no exception, and completely exceeded my expectations, motivating me to make some needed, and highly significant shifts to the way I look at and promote my blog. (Note: I am not an affiliate, I simply like to share great content when I find it.)
A highly valuable resource for new, aspiring and even seasoned bloggers, this ebook is a must-have for the entrepreneur’s library. Why? Because it is a step by step how-to-create-a-successful-blog formula. Even if you have been blogging for some time, I am guessing there are steps that Holly recommends that you’ve never considered.
This ebook is organized into four main segments –
- 1 – Creating Content
- 2 – Getting Traffic
- 3 – Monetization Techniques
- 4 – Blogging Success Stories
Getting Started
Section one really takes you through the basics of successfully creating a blog with staying power. So if you are in the idea or early stages of blog development, this is where you will likely begin. The more seasoned blogger might even discover some fresh ideas to add a new spark of life to her presentation.
Getting Noticed
My favorite section was by far Holly’s tips for how to drive more traffic to my blog. We all dream of monetizing our blog at some point, right? And developing your blog to that level is a meaningful goal. But as Holly clearly points out, it all begins with building an audience.
“Getting traffic to your blog is a lot of work – don’t let anyone tell you different. But with a lot of patience and persistence it will happen.”
Highlights on traffic building for me include Holly’s tips on Alltop, Su.pr, Scribd, and her top list of possible feature or interview resources.
Show Me the Money
Once you have established a presence in your niche market, it’s time to think about how you can actually turn your blog into a revenue source. According to Holly, “If you plan on making money from your blog, you need to treat it like a business.” Wise words, which you will have to heed while you work your way through the amazing checklist within this section. Full of creative and tangible tips you can begin to implement immediately, you will want to take your time here.
Proof is in the Pudding
As if Holly’s success wasn’t testament enough for the strategies in this ebook, she includes five inspiring stories from women bloggers within her network. Not only are there links to connect with these additional resources, but honest statements about the hard work, and lessons learned throughout their blogging experiences.
Final Thoughts
Holly’s extensive research on how to build an audience for, and monetize her own blog is the foundation for this exciting ebook.
