Darren Rowse (aka Problogger) released his third ebook titled Guide to First Week of Blogging and I bought it without thinking twice. But I am not in my first week of blogging, I’ve been blogging for a while now. Then why do I need this book.
I am in my first week of blogging, I am looking for ideas and inspiration for my new blog and what better book to download than Problogger’s Guide to Your First Week of Blogging.
I’ve downloaded Problogger’s 31 Day to Build A Better Blog and Copywriting Scorecard for Bloggers and both the books have taught me the essentials to build a solid blog.
My first blog post was in July 2008 at that I time I had no idea about what I wanted to write on this blog. Once the blog was set up I had to struggle to come up with my first post. I thought for about four days and short listed a few titles, I posted two articles on day one of this blog ( 18 th july 2008 )
None of them were pillar articles or anything that would grab the users attention. With very little grip on content and my thoughts I pressed the publish button. That was me and my first week of blogging 🙂
Here’s where Problogger’s Guide to First Week of Blogging comes to rescue.
A perfect guide for bloggers who are looking to start their first blog or advance bloggers who are looking for ideas to start their second or third blog.
