As a passionate writer, traveler, and marketing consultant, I can relate to all three of these situations.
For years, I wanted nothing more than to wander around the world writing stories of travel and working on my own terms. Fast forwarding years ahead, I finally figured out the recipe for creating a website, filling it with engaging stories and content, attracting passionate and engaged readers, and earning money from that site – via my own products and sharing the products of others.
After 2 years traveling the world, writing, and researched, I finally learned a simple, straightforward process for building a blog that makes money around any passion. Today, I blog for a living – about travel, fitness, food, entrepreneurship and more.
If your dream is to blog about your passion and get paid for it, without a boss, or attract readers and potential customers to your products, this book,
If any of these apply to you, then this book, The Blogging Book: An Ultimate Guide to Blogging for Profit and Content Marketing is exactly what you need.
WHAT IS “THE BLOGGING BOOK”
The blogging book is a true manual for blogging, created from notes and lessons over 2 years of blogging, captured in a 275+ page book. The blogging book is organized by topic and blogging stage to be easily understandable by all levels of bloggers and digital marketers, and structured to help you solve your most pressing blogging problems as they come up.
What is covered in the Blogging Book?
The Blogging Book covers everything you will need to know in your first two years of blogging to build a site, content, audience, and income streams without any other training by covering the following topics
- SEO Fundamentals
- SEO Keyword Research
- Onpage Optimization (SEO)
- Technical SEO (Site speed, sitemaps, broken links, and more)
- Digital Marketing: Pinterest, Reddit, Quora, Email Marketing
- How to choose your niche and how to use it in blogging
- How to create your brand, vision, niche, and strategy
- Assessing whether blogging is for you based on potential profits, competition, and effort required (by niche)
The Blogging Book also covers the pitfalls to avoid that I tested but now forgo, and why using your time for other things (the above) is more worth your time
- Don’t waste your time on social media marketing (Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, etc.) unless you already have 10,000 followers
- Don’t waste your time on building links until you’ve reached 25,000 sessions per month – focus on writing good SEO’ed content instead
- Don’t pay anyone else to do your SEO
Some warnings to save you time and let you know we’re not screwing around
- The average “pro blogger” makes between $4,000 to $9,000 per month, depending on their niche
- The average blogger blogs steadily for 2 years and writes 150 to 200 good articles (SEO’ed, marketed) before their blog can become a full time job
If those two facts work for you…then you may be up for the challenge of blogging, and I highly recommend getting The Blogging Book as soon as you’re ready.

The Ultimate Beginner’s Book on Blogging in 2022 is a complete manual for starting a money making, profit generating blog that will enable you to make a semi-passive income from anywhere in the world.
This book is the product of four years of experience as a professional blogger, writing on my own primary site for a 100,000 readers per month and receiving a semi-passive income twice that of the average American for 2 to 3 hours of work per day, and this is in addition to the handful of other blogs I’ve built as semi-passive income-generating engines and helped other bloggers build from scratch,
The content of this book comes from four years of trial and error and taking notes on the best practices within blogging to strategically write evergreen content that generates traffic from Google and is monetized in a diversified way with premium programmatic ads, affiliate marketing partnerships, and the development of your own products and services.
In this book you will learn how to start a blog on WordPress from scratch, how to build the site without a designer or developer, how to write content that Google loves, and how to perform basic and advance Search Engine Optimization on your articles and site to passively draw even more traffic from Google
We’ll additionally cover how to draw readers to your site via Google, forums, Reddit marketing, and “borrowing Facebook groups, how to monetize that audience in an honest with different advertising platforms as your site grows, how to monetize from day 1 via affiliate marketing, and how to develop custom products for your audience as your audience grows.
This book is a no non-sense culmination of how I built my first site to a 100,000 reader per month audience and monetized to create a location independent semi-passive income for myself.
Just like every other book on Amazon, this book does not contain any secrets or magic bullets to succeed in blogging – because there are no magic bullets in blogging. To succeed there are simply best practices, of which you need to choose which work for you, the requirement to apply a diligent, consistent process, which I will share in this book, and the patience to continue – ideally driven by your passion.
If you have an area of expertise or passion that you believe you can write 100 pieces of good content on, I highly recommend this book and the business of blogging for you.
