Now this is a recent trend seen, may established bloggers are now writing ebooks on ‘How to blog?’ and sell them at high cost.Whenever you visit their blog you may see this banner, asking you to buy their book and earn more from your blogs. You may also seen their banner on other sites which get share for every sale.

I once bought such ‘How to blog?’ ebook and checked out what it really contains. Though I will not disclose here, who was the author of that book.

It was having total 34 pages. The book started with the introduction about author. Then it explained what is blogging, what are different blogging platforms etc. etc…. But it was no different from what I’ve read so many times over internet.

Next was importance of good content and how to write good content. Again nothing new,you may get same tips on the authors own blog, about how to write good content.

Next was traffic. Here also I got disappointed because the methods listed were outdated and I myself know more methods on how to get more traffic. After that keyword research, PPC campaigning etc.

After reading that ‘How to blog?’ ebook I think that why shall anybody spend money on such thing when you can get more usful and practical information by reading blogs and doing some reasearch yourself. May be other such ebooks are not like this one or some ebooks may be really helpful. But I myself will neiteher buy any such ebook in future nor will attemt to write one .

Final advice – try to read as many reviews as possible about the book before buying it. But again many of these review writers may be getting share from sale of that book, so try to find it out in some forums like Digital Point etc.

If you think that I am wrong at any part of my post and want to correct me you are always welcome.
