Books for Bloggers Giveaway

Being a blogger means I spend a lot of time on the computer, and hardly any time actually reading books. This is why, when I do read a book, I want it to be a hard copy that I can hold in my hands… something that takes me away from the computer!! This year I’ve acquired and read two fabulous books about blogging. Now, I’d like to pass them on to one of you!!

Beyond Blogging

by Mike Cliffe-Jones and Nathan Hangen

The Best Blogging Book I’ve Read…

Beyond Blogging sheds light on the sheer amount of work, passion, and focus it’s featurees (is that a word?) put into their blogging businesses. None of them were overnight successes. Sure, maybe their 14th blog, the one that’s popular now, gained speed quickly, but what were they doing before? How many blogs did they start and scrap before they got to where they are now? Does their blog support their business and has grown from there, or is the blog alone their business?

Crush-It

by Gary Vaynerchuk

For online business owners, but full of advice for any hard-working business owner who wants to Crush-It! I really enjoyed Gary’s straightforward approach. He doesn’t sugar coat, and he doesn’t lie. Building a business is hard work. (disclaimer: if a little strong language offends you, this book is not for you)
