Blog Blazers Book Review

The last book I read is one that I will turn to on a regular basis and one that is highlighted and dog-earred like crazy. That book is Blog Blazers by Stephane Grenier. This is a definite must have for any blogger, both new and old. For the new bloggers you will find the book full of ways to succeed, what pitfalls not to fall into, how to gain readership and so much more. For the old time bloggers, this book can be used as a way to refresh your line of thinking when it comes to success, pitfalls and your readership.

I have learned alot from Blog Blazers, I am right in between being a new blogger and a pro (well, really far from being a pro actually). I have only been blogging a little under 1 year and while a “pro” status is not what I am after, I think I have become established in the type of blogging that I do. But this book helped me see that there is so much more to blogging than hits, readership and wheather or not you can make money doing something you love.

The bloggers that were interviwed for this book is amazing, and it was very refreshing to pick up a book and read about people I have actually heard of. I can definitely learn a thing or two from these bloggers. Just look at this list:

Aaron Wall, Abdylas Tynyshov, Al Carlton, Alex Papadimoulis, Andy Brice, Anita Campbell, Asha Dornfest, Ben Casnocha, Benjamin Yoskovitz, Bob Walsh, Dan Lyons, Dane Carlson, David Armano, David Seah, Derek Semmler, Dharmesh Shaw, Eric Sink, Ian Landsman, James & Alex, J.D. Roth, Jeff Atwood, Jeff Clavier, Jennette Fulda, Jennifer Perry, Jessamyn West, Joel Cheesman, Jonathan Snook, Manolo Blahnik, Neil Patel, Pamela Slim, Patrick McKenzie, Penelope Trunk, Ramit Sethi, Rob Walling, Rohit Bhargava, Seth Godin, Stephane Grenier, Steve Rubel, Trent Hamm, Yaro Starak

Everyone can learn something from this amazing group of people. Stephane Grenier does an amazing job with his interviews and asks all the right questions, questions someone like me wants to hear the answers to. Here is a little information about the author of this book:
