Problogger – Second Edition Is Here!

April 26, 2010 by Liz 2 Comments

Go Darren and Chris!

Two of the best probloggers on the web have just released the second edition of their bestselling book, ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income and it’s available today.

I’m very partial to this book because

  • Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett are both personal friends and heroes.
  • it’s filled with honesty and wisdom … much like the guys who wrote it.
  • Wiley shared a copy of the first edition with everyone at SOBCon08.

Can’t wait to read this second edition. I hear it has a few significant updates including:

  • New examples, screenshots, updates of new tools, a few deletions of references to old tools, an update to Darren and Chris’ stories in the intro.
  • Chris has added a fairly significant chapter on social media and how it impacts and can be used by bloggers.
  • Darren has added a case study chapter that goes through the first 4 years of his main blog – Digital Photography School. He works through how he launched it, what he focused upon in years 1-2 and then in years 3-4, how he monetizes it and he shares the secrets to how I drive significant traffic and income through email newsletters, social media and other ways.
  • Bonuses come with it – Anyone who buys the book is offered a series of bonuses (some interviews with successful bloggers, some extra teaching … check it out)

Hope Chris is bringing a bunch to SOBCon2010 this week!!

Congratulations Darren and Chris!
