I've been writing for years, but I've never taken my blogging seriously. Finally, I'm ready to take that step, so I picked up this book. This is a really cool book because the author interviews a variety of bloggers and just asks them similar questions. She asks how long it took them to make a profit from their blog, what they wish they knew when they started, the best advice they have for new bloggers, and much more. I've been in a bit of a creative slump yesterday, but binging this book really gave me some motivation to get to work.

The only thing that truly bothered me about this book was that each of the interviews is quoted elsewhere in the book, so it felt very repetitive. There were several times where I thought I had lost my place in the book, or I thought she interviewed the same person twice, because I swore I had seen whole sections before.
There wasn’t really anything actionable in here but the amount of bloggers she’s interviewed (17!) did go to show that this kind of success is possible and somewhat common and not the result of some virginal sacrifice or blood ritual. She publishes the same Q&A for each blogger so there are also a lot of good recommendations for books and websites to pick up as well.

I am going to give this book a solid 4 stars. The book is separated into the 3 major habits of 6-figure bloggers, and then broken down into manageable action-pieces. The secrets and stories of the 17 bloggers are broken down into Q&A chapters, which is really helpful to see the similarities and differences between each business as they had to answer the same questions. I am adding a whole lot of books to my TBR because one of those questions was what's the most impactful business book, and several bloggers gave multiple answers, though some gave the same answer. Sally Miller also offers a free Beginning Blogger Workbook online as a companion to the 'action steps' that I have not yet started but after scanning it am going to suggest readers who are seriously reading this to help their business to download the workbook and GET TO IT.
