You may be one of many aspiring bloggers who want to make money blogging.
While there seems to be no shortage of search results for the “make money blogging” phrase in Google and other search engines, the fact is that finding enough information in one place to have even a remote chance of making money blogging seems next to impossible.
I’m glad to have found what I think will help you learn how to make money blogging. It may not be the only thing you will need but it is a valuable one.
Make Money Blogging is the title of a new ebook by a successful blogger Daniel Scocco.
Before you decide to read it for yourself you may be interested in reading a short review of it right here.
Reading the ebook for the first time I was pleasantly surprised by finding some things which were new to me.
I’m not an expert on the subject but I have read a fair number of ebooks on making money through blogging and don’t come across new information about it that often anymore.
On the other hand a lot of information in the ebook is not new but a different terminology is used. For example Daniel Scocco uses Killer Articles for what Yaro Starak uses the term Pillar Articles.
Daniel’s ebook has valuable information for total beginners in the introduction.
Then it quickly goes into more advanced stuff.
It seems to be avoiding any talk of SEO by name like a plague.
I’m not sure why. It could have something to do with there being a good number of bloggers with nothing but disdain for SEO.
I’ve seen some posts recently virtually ridiculing those who advocate SEO. This is something that I personally don’t understand given the fact that SEO traffic is a free traffic.
You may want to read more about how I view the importance of SEO in my previous post: Earn Money Blogging.
The good thing is that the subject of search engine optimization is somewhat covered by Daniel’s ebook under different headings like Headlines, Blog Comments, Link When Possible, Guest Posting, etc.
So Daniel obviously understands and uses SEO himself without calling it as such.
My wish would be for him not to shy away from using the term because I think it is necessary for anyone blogging to be familiar with the term and what it stands for.
Make Money Blogging talks about establishing Authority First, Money Second.
It makes it abundantly clear that making money with blogging involves hard work.
The ebook is covering a lot of ground including making contacts with other bloggers, using social bookmarking sites, getting subscribers.
It goes into content ideas, posting frequency and many other helpful points.
What I like a lot is how Daniel makes sure that all points and the structure of the ebook make sense from the beginning to the end.
He first covers the basics and works his way up progressively to finally cover monetization with the following:
AdSense, CPM Ads, Direct Advertising and Sponsorship, Affiliate Marketing, Email Marketing, and Beyond Advertising Money.
Make Money Blogging (that’s the link to the free ebook – you just have to opt in) is one of the best ebooks you can read if you want to blog and make money blogging.
It is in my opinion a very valuable read for complete beginners even if you may be able to initially use only a part of it and a required reading for those who already have some and/or a lot of experience blogging just to make sure that you aren’t missing on any important points.
Bookmark and tweet this post so others can find and read it.
Let me know how you liked this review in your comments as well as how you liked Daniel’s ebook and if it was what you expected based on my post.

Hi Vance
I’m a regular visitor to Daniel Scocco’s website, Daily Blog Tips and have always been impressed with his content.
I would expect any ebook produced by Daniel to be good quality, but it’s nice to get it confirmed in a review like this one.

I know from my own experience that blogging with adsense can be a great way to make money, all you need to do is develop a really informative blog that people would like to visit over and over again.

Hi Steve,
Adsense can certainly work well in some niches. In the internet marketing niche not that many people seem to click on it though.
At least that’s what I’m told and read on other blogs. I’ve never used Adsense on this blog and one day I may be inclined to try it. Not for a while yet though.
I visited your blog that you seem to just have started and that I couldn’t even comment on it as I couldn’t find the comments.
Also the interest table that you mention in the post seems to not be there below.
Which blogs do you have Adsense on? I’d lke to learn what your experience shows in them.
Thanks for the comment.

Hi Vance,
Great review, thank you. You always go the whole mile in your posts. You got me interested in Daniel’s new ebook so I jumped to his blog. But since I had previously opted in his list, I got an error message an did not get the book. Is it only for new subscribers?

Hi Jose,
I’m glad you liked my review enough to want to read the ebook.
If you had already subscribed to Daniel’s list before, his autoresponder won’t give you access to the ebook download link.
This has happened to me as well a couple of times already. Once with somebody else and once with Daniel.
What you can do is contact Daniel through his contact page, tell him you are already a subscriber and he’ll email you the link to the ebook.
If you have any problems contacting Daniel, please let me know. I’ll get in touch with him.
Thanks for commenting.
Talk soon,
Vance
Nice review Vance,
I think though with so much info available from so many multiple sources one thing I can recommend to anyone – get to know the person you are planning to learn from, read their blog, see if they actually do what they teach.
What I discovered is that we learn best from people we can associate with. See if you can find that association before you spend money, economy is tight, our money has to go long way to help us achieve our goals!

Hi Alex,
Welcome to my blog. You must know that I read your blog and have commented there many times.
I do agree that there are so many sources of information that it is wise to get to know the person before buying from them and to make sure that one can associate with them.
I have not always done that and thus purchased too many products. That leads to lack of focus and so called overwhelm.
There is no magic to be found out there. Thanks for your comment which includes a valuable advice.
I look forward to your next visit.
Vance
I don’t think you have to establish authority first before you can focus on money. I think it all depends on the niche and where you get your traffic.
If most of your traffic comes from search engines then who cares right? you’ll never see them again 😀 lol
But if you are trying to build it all based on word of mouth and other methods then certainly you need to focus more on authority.
Wouldn’t you agree though?

Hi Chris,
You have a good point, although people who come through search traffic may bookmark your blog if they like it and come back.
I think what Daniel is focusing on is a long term blog that will bring people back because of the quality of content which builds authority.
Vance
Great review you got me interested in Daniel’s ebook so I checked out Daily Blog Tips and opted in for his list
