The Definitive Guide to Making Money Blogging

by Nick Thacker on June 15, 2009

The Definitive Guide to Making Money BloggingI’ve been working on a book lately called “WordPress Success – The Definitive Guide to Making Money Blogging,” and I really feel strongly that it’s going to be a helpful read for anyone from beginning bloggers to the more experienced, who want to begin making money with their blog. I planned on offering it as a free download while it was in its infant stages, but I believe that as the project grows and consumes more and more of my time, I’d like to see how well it will do as an inexpensive informational product.

The package will include the book (quite long already, but PACKED with awesome information to jump-start your blog business), some videos, and maybe some other tidbits and resources. Everything will be backed by my full support–if you have questions, comments, or need help getting set up, you’ll be able to call me personally to get everything straightened out.

That looks really helpful, will it cost $$ or no?

Stephen,

As of now, I'm planning to charge a nominal fee to recoup my time–the project's taking a toll, but like mentioned, I REALLY think it's worth it.

I'll have the WSO from the Warrior Forum success to gauge as a benchmark for pricing/promotion here, but I'm shooting for ballpark $20-30 at first, and if it's well-received it may go up to $50ish.

What do you think? Does it sound like too much?

I really appreciate your feedback–thanks for commenting!

I'm just about finished–I've been taking a brief break, but I should have this thing out within a week!

I'll keep you posted!

Making money with blogging is not that easy. I started my website, fortunately got a pagerank of 2 within a month. But still tryin to build traffic. It needs hard work and lots and lots of patience.
