Everything Ebook #1 | {31 Days To Build A Better Blog}

Welcome to the

Everything Ebook review series!

I am starting with the ebook that you need if you write a blog.

31 Days To Build a Better Blog

I resisted for a long time & then finally bit the bullet and paid the $30 plus to purchase it from ProBlogger.

This book (now on it’s 2nd edition) provides 31 Days of tasks to help improve your blog. In the second edition he has removed some of the tasks and replaced them then created an ‘extra’ week with the ‘old’ tasks.

I think that it was smart for him to update it since almost 100% of what is in the book is available for free on the internet (what isn’t found for free on the internet these days) now.

I have to say I was honestly a little disappointed that I paid $30 for the first edition then had to pay an additional $15 to get the 2nd edition. Especially since it was only about 6 months apart. I was also disappointed in the first edition when I bought it because there were only about 7 things I wasn’t already doing.

But I think that this book will help every blogger in some way because even if you already ‘know’ the information you probably don’t implement it (I didn’t) and you don’t have an action plan.

This book is meant to take away the ‘some day I’ll do xyz with my blog’ and force you to do one small task each day to improve your blog.

In my opinion I think that it is worth the money if you plan on taking your blog from hobby to a money making profession.

Here is an example of some of the tasks:

  • Find a Blog Buddy
  • Make your blog mobile friendly
  • Come up with 10 post ideas
  • Monitor statistics on your blog
  • and many more!

While those examples are pretty self explanatory he goes further than just telling you what you should do-he tells you in a specific order (so each day builds on the day before) and then gives links to the best tools to help you accomplish it as well as examples of bloggers who do it well.

What do you think?

    I bought this ebook in my early days as a blogger and found it super helpful. I agree that it wasn’t all stuff that was news to me, but the structure was great for *implementing and having a consistent plan.* I’m really glad I bought it and have gotten a lot of email resources from the book since. (Recently a free invite to a facebook webinar that was fan-freaking-tastic.) I would definitely recommend it.

      Jen, It really is about the structure & the ‘oh yeah-I really *need* to get around to doing that isn’t it? I mean, obviously very new bloggers would learn a lot of the things to do but even a blogger who’s been doing it for awhile will already know they *should* do those things but haven’t implemented them yet. :) Thanks for you comment & the mention of the email resources! I totally forgot those!

    I just bought this book about a week ago, and although I am just a couple of sessions into it, I’ve really benefited from it! Even though I knew in my brain before reading that I needed to do some of the things he suggested, I just hadn’t gotten around to it. (Which, I’m still very new – not quite three months in yet! :) haha!) Anyway, I’m glad I bought it and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of your series! (Oh, and BTW – I sent you an email about your classes! I’d love to be included if you have room still available!!)

      Rhonda, I’m so glad you’ve gotten so much out of the book! I truly think this is the most organized and ‘easy to implement’ structure for these tasks. :) Thanks for the comment & don’t worry I’m posting later today about how to sign up for the class! :)
