What better way to know what goes into a good blog than by getting inside the minds of the biggest bloggers in the universe! Blogging Heroes: Interviews with 30 of the World’s Top Bloggers by Michael A. Banks is a book involving influential and successful bloggers who write about various topics such as parenting, business trends and more. Such bloggers have been featured on NPR, MSNBC, 20/20 and more. Through intimate interviews, Michael A. Banks is able to get these bloggers to share their philosophies, their personal secrets for success and everything else that comes to mind.
With this, you are able to learn from the masters of blogging on what works and doesn’t work – straight from their own mouths! These bloggers have loyal followers and are passionate about the subjects and their ability to blog. These are the 30 most successful bloggers in the United States and truly are the cream of the crop.
Whether you already have a blog or are merely even thinking of starting one, this is the perfect book to get true insight on the industry and the success stories within it. The list of prominent bloggers include Mary Jo Foley from All About Microsoft, Peter Rojas from Engadget, Rebecca Lieb from ClickZ, Eric T. from Duct Tape and 26 more!
The good thing about this book is that it interviews both professional bloggers who are paid to blog and other ones who merely do it as a hobby. Both have become successful in their own right and are certainly worth reading about. In the book you will learn the various motivations and factors that were vital in driving the success of these bloggers. After reading, you will have a very thorough list of things to do if you want to start your own blog and make your current blog even better.
I just picked up a copy of the book and I’m about half-way through it now. Pretty quick and easy read.
Really interesting how these blogging-giants got their start. What was your favorite chapter?
I’ll post my own review once I’m completely down.
