How to Build a Successful Blog Business

How to Build a Successful Blog Business is a straight forward guide to building a publishing business online that covers everything from choosing a niche to hiring staff, registering a business to selling it, finding traffic to monetizing it. Whether you are interested in creating an additional income stream or building a fully-fledged business, this is an essential read for web entrepreneurs and online publishers. Hands down the most useful book for bloggers I ever had the chance to read in the last few years!
Case Studies

I definitely agree with Daniel Scocco of DailyBlogTips – “The case studies alone are worth the cover price!” In How to Build a Successful Blog Business you will learn how the network grew from the original Psdtuts blog into a multi-million dollar blog business, the process of turning FreelanceSwitch from a fast growing blog into a profitable enterprise and how the Appstorm sites started, how search traffic has been consolidated and how the sites are growing.
