Whether being a blogger means making money on the Internet or creating a website that gathers a tribe of individuals sharing your interest, these books are essential reading before you create your first blog.
They guide you in determining the blog’s purpose, creating content for your blog, gathering people — a tribe — to your blog and making money (if you wish) from your blog.
I am a professional blogger (horrorbooks.co) and a blog coordinator for the Heights Library system and these books have and still are assisting me in reaching my goals — to make horror fiction the dominate force in the literary world.
So, what do you want to do on the web?
