Beyond all the blogging rage

Beyond Blogging, new ebook on blogging, is all the rage in the “blogs about blogging” world last few days. Lots of bloggers have written posts about it, lots of people have bought it, many love it, some complain about the price tag.

All in all a lot of discussion which brings a lot of attention to the book. The authors must be very happy as attention is always good for the book sales.

“Stop dreaming and start blogging” inspiration

I’ve now had a chance to take a look at Beyond Blogging. The book features profiles of some of the biggest bloggers, where you can get to know their life stories, how they started blogging and how they blog.

Learning about successful bloggers and their stories not only motivates you to stop dreaming and start blogging, but it also gives you inspiration and ideas. I love reading case studies of successful people. I have published some myself, see my profiles of Pete Cashmore, Gary Vaynerchuk and Perez Hilton.

15 blogger profiles are featured in Beyond Blogging. It is 203 pages long, edited by Nathan Hangen and Mike Cliffe Jones. This is the full list of bloggers profiled:

Last 30 pages of the ebook is a section called “The six figure blogging blueprint” which basically is a sum-up of important points from the blogger profiles.
