Bloggers Boot Camp: Learning How to Build, Write, and Run a Successful Blog by Charlie White, John Biggs
4.0
Other than repeatedly referring to things as 'out of the scope' of the book and not offering a further reading section, this was actually a pretty solid blogging book. Instead of focusing on monetizing the blog and ad revenue, there was a lot more focus on the content of the post and the writing style (my favourite section being on the Top 50 Grammar and Usage mistakes, which taught me a couple of things!) which is something I've been looking for.
Both John and Charlie have had extremely lucrative blogging careers with Gizmodo and others, and it was impressive to get such down to earth and helpful advice from blogging legends. Whereas some of the other blogging books I've read have seemed to want to keep the secrets under wraps, this was a very transparent and open book, and I feel as though I've learnt a lot from it because of that.
