2 questions: First question – do you have a blog? Second question – can you read? Bonus question – how much do you weigh? Just kidding about that bonus question. Okay, so if you have a blog then you should be smelling what Bryan Allain is cooking. He’s a humor blogger with over ten years experience. He has recently written an e-book called 31 Days To Finding Your Blogging Mojo. I had an opportunity to review the book before it was released and it’s great stuff.
Bryan writes practical advice that isn’t boring. 31 Days is funny, interesting, and extremely helpful for bloggers. Whether you are new to the blogging game or a veteran you will enjoy this book. If you think I’m just being nice then you thought wrong. Bryan’s advice is spot on. He not only upped his readership to 1.5 trillion people, but his advice has also helped robshep.com reach a couple more readers then just his parents. I think they have to read my blog because I’m their son. My blog is better because of Bryan’s advice. And if you hate my blog then you should have seen it before I talked with Bryan.
If you’d like to take your blog to the next level then save up your pennies (retail price $4.99) and buy 31 Days To Finding Your Blogging Mojo. You would be stupid to not purchase this book. It’d be like trying to fly a plane without lessons. It’d be like locking a toddler in a bathroom, saying “go get em tiger,” and expecting them to potty train themselves. It’d be like finding a bomb and just pulling a wire because it looks pretty. In other words if you have a blog then it’s a smart move to buy 31 Days To Finding Your Blogging Mojo.
If you have a blog what is your favorite post from this past month. Pimp it out in the comments. I’d love to read your best stuff. Go.
I guess that I have never sought out anyone’s advice or input on my blog. I just write what I am moved to write. To tell my stories, to share what I want to share. I probably go against what is recommended with most of my posts. But that said, I read several blogs regularly and I wouldn’t be surprised it I have subconsciously borrowed an idea or two along the way. So perhaps by reading your blog regularly, I will pick up a thing or two.
Daniel, as much as you read you could read this book, review this book, and then read it again in about .5 nano seconds.
I would probably pass right by this title, but your review makes me want to read it.
Thanks Mim. Maybe one day if you start a blog you’d be more interested.
Sounds interesting. I have to say, I have never read a book on blogging. I probably should start.
My best post (if you want to call it that) is my 9/11 reflection post. It was my most emotional post and made me tear up writing it.
Moe, that was great stuff! I can’t wait till my readers get to check out your portion of the guest post this Friday.
I saw a guest post on the church of no people by Bryan about 6 months ago…..I was blogging but not really blogging…if that makes since…
I got on his site and read…25 tips for your blog…when he was launching rocketblog…
It changed my life…just those 25 tips…wow!
I never knew i could be passionate about writing…
so, i will pick up the book…or ebook..whatever…lol…
Arny, I think you will really enjoy it. It’s quality stuff.
I would have to echo the sentiment that my blog is better because of Bryan’s advice, and it’s also gotten me excited about blogging again, something that really hasn’t happened in a long time.
My favorite posts are my SPAM of the Month Club series… I’ve been doing these for a few months now, and I have another one queued up when I flip the switch over to my new domain (when that ever happens):

I have only been blogging for a few months now and probably need some advice on how to be better at it, so I may just check this out.
As for favorite blog, I have a weekly series of posts, called the Weekly Whacked, which reports the crazy things I see in my courthouse or on the city streets, and all of those are fun. However, my personal favorite is this one because it’s just fun and silly:

My best post wasn’t even my own. My wife shared some really cool stuff a week or so ago…
