31 Days to Build a Better Blog eBook

Hello! Today I’d like to tell you about an e-book that I recently purchased, called 31 Days to Build a Better Blog (affiliate link) by Darren Rowse. Darren is the highly-respected, well-known author of ProBlogger – a blog about being the best blogger you can be!

(Note: non-affliliate links at the bottom of this post.)

31DBBB Basics

I bought this eBook and spent the past 31 days working through it. Each day has a new task that can be completed fairly quickly. Most can be done in 15 to 20 minutes, but now and then it may take you a bit longer to finish that day’s tasks.

Each day covers a different topic on how to improve your blog. Everything from defining what your blog is about, to improving your headlines, to updating key pages, to analyzing other blogs in your niche. There is so much good, meaty information in this book!

Measurable Results

I have completed the tasks for the 31 days and I can already see improvement in my own blog. Before you start, Darren encourages you to set up statistics for your blog at a site such as Google Analytics. Towards the end, you review the statistics to see what has changed for your blog.

I am noticing a definite impact in readership from improving my headlines and other changes and updates I have made to my blog during the 31 days. The number of new readers I have is up. The number of new subscribers to my blog is up. The number of page views on my site is up. In other words, working through this eBook has produced measurable results for my blog – in just a few minutes a day.

I even have an editorial calendar planned for my blog through the end of October. All in all, it was a great investment for me!

Highly Recommended

If you are interested in improving your blog – or seeing behind the scenes to some of the secrets that professional bloggers use – I would highly recommend this eBook. You can buy it now for a special promotional price of just $19.95 (it is regularly $39). That’s nearly 50% off!

In fact, I liked 31 Days to Build a Better Blog so much, that I also bought Darren’s newest eBook, called The Copywriting Scorecard for Bloggers (affiliate link). It was just released today. It has an introductory price of just $9.97 for the first two weeks – 33% off the regular price of $14.97.

If you would like to know more about either of these books, please click one of the links below. If you choose the affiliate link, it is a way to help support my blog. It helps me offset the cost of hosting fees and such – at no additional cost to you. But, if you’d prefer to click the non-affliate link, that’s okay, too. Either way you want; no hard feelings.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
