Back in late November, I wrote a review of Darren Rowse’s 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. As I mentioned in the review, I consider myself to be an above-average skilled blogger (hey, I actually make a living at this) but I still learned a fair amount.
Anyway, I wanted to let all of my readers know that if you didn’t pick up the book before, now is the time to do it. Though it expires in less than two days, you can now get three bonus buys when you purchase a copy of 31DBBB.
In addition to a healthy-sized eBook you get:
- a report, “9 Things to Do to Get Your Blog On Track in the New Year, which effectively gives you ten more days worth of building up your blog;
- a 55-minute podcast from Leo Babauta from Zen Habits (one of the biggest self-help blogs online), including a wealth of information he uses to keep his blog successful;
- a 42-minute podcast with Neil Patel, who has successfully built his own for-profit blogs, but also consults with companies like AOL, HP and General Motors about social media and traffic.
The entire package is only $19.99. While the book itself is worth the price, hearing different approaches and inspiration is worth that tenfold. Being successful online is often about hearing what others have done and creating your own plan. This book, and the podcasts, significantly help you do just that.
I did part of this challenge back when he first did it. The one suggestion I’ve really enjoyed is commenting on blogs to build a loyal readership. I find that when people comment on my blogs in a meaningful way I am more likely to keep visiting their blog. I imagine it works the other way, too.
