I am reading the book “Blog Inc.” by Joy Deangdeelert Cho.  This is an awesome resource for the world of blogging.  Cho offers all sorts of wisdom about building a blog centered around your passion and creating community at the same time.  She begins with the basics, moves on to finding your voice and choosing a platform.  She talks about etiquette, making your blog a businees and even how to get published.  She also covers making money from a blog, but repeatedly states that making money from your blog should not be your priority.  Blogging for profit will be transparent; a blog focused on money rather than a passion will turn off readers.  I love how her book includes interviews with other bloggers because you get to read about many different perspectives.  Every blogger showcased reveals how blogging changed their lives.  

So if you don’t have a blog, yet, pick up this book and get inspired…and get blogging!
