Using pictorial examples from their own blogs and based on their own experiences when they started out as bloggers Darren and Chris share how they made their way to becoming a professional blogger earning 6 figures a year. There are many examples given in the book on how you can diversify your potential of earning through your blog.
They mentioned placements of ads, advertorials, sponsored content, speaking engagements and consultations are some of the ways you can create different steams of income. The pros and cons of each method is also covered in detail. There are also many case studies which are used for reference and they help to give a realistic picture of how the blogging environment is for aspiring bloggers.
One can op to go for fast ways of earning through flipping of blogs or building up a steady source of passive income through creating e-books and online courses. Not all methods may be suitable for your blog or niche and you will have to choose carefully which path you intend to pursue once you start to earn revenue from your blog.
My thoughts
I have been a fan of Dareen Rowse and Chris Garrett and have been following their blogs ever since I was introduced to it 10 years back. I have learned a lot from these two professional bloggers. Even though I have been implementing many of the tips that were already mentioned in the book there were certain parts of the books which were still very relevant to me.
I love how each chapter is broken down into chunks an injected with visuals and tips. It makes the book easy to read and digest the information being taught. The little exercises at towards the end of the chapter really get one thinking about the direction that one wants for the blog and the actions which they should take.
The chapter on taking your blog to the next level and going beyond your blog really taught me how I should go onwards in development of this blog. I too hope one day to be able to earn a 5 or even a 6-figure income from this blog.
I certainly recommend this book to any aspiring blogger or existing bloggers who want to take it up a notch.
