This book begins with doing the research for creating a successful  blog. The author then moves into choosing hosts (some very valuable information here), domain names, themes, choosing niches & and then moves on to monetization and traffic advice.The book does cover a bit about the actual technical side of setting up a blog (although it more of an overview, but does has some very useful advice). His other book "30 minutes to a wordpress website" covers more of that information for beginners looking for a technical guide.The best parts of this book include the options about monetizing your site and using social networks. Options discussed for making money include ad networks, selling your own products, creating lists, direct ad sales, leads and affiliate networks.Many newcomers to the field really don't have a clue when it comes to this part and after all that is the main reason people set up a blog, traffic and monetization. I enjoyed the authors other book and feel this one nicely complements the other. So if you are new, why not pick up both?
