5 Free Ebooks about money-making blogging you should have
Everyone loves freebies. Don’t you? When I started learning about Internet Marketing, I downloaded every free ebooks that I could. Indeed, there is no FREE lunch. Most of ebooks come with affiliate links to various products and services. I agree that the authors should get paid and compensated as they provide valuable information about Blogging, IM, and Make Money Online and spend time writing the books.
These are my favorites and personal preference. (Sorry, no affiliate links here):
Yaro Starak’s Blog Profits BluePrint
Daniel Scocco’s Make Money Blogging
Robb Sutton’s Problogging Is Dead
Zac Johnson’s Six Figure Affiliate Blogging
These ebooks really help me to learn about the Real Business Model and how they do IM and Make Money Online. Instead of attaching all pdf files or showing you the direct download links (I’m not supposed to), I’d suggest you to opt-in their email list and receive their blog update and newsletter.
Side Note: Although they are free, you’d expect to pay to buy a domain, web hosting, wordpress themes, email autoresponder etc if you like to start doing IM and creating money making blog. No surprise and I assume you may have already known. If you have these, just go ahead and execute the gold-minded ideas.
Feedback
I am only listing 5 ebooks as there are hundreds and thousands available out there. Any good one I’ve missed? Please kindly leave the links and I’d go ahead and download one.

The KEY to start a new blog
To start running your car, you need the key.
As what I have learned, planning and executing consistently is the KEY to start a new blog. As a IM newbie, my primary focus in July is to write great content and meet other bloggers through Social Media and Blogging. July would be a great start.
In Internet Marketing world, there are a lot of words, terms, definitions, skills to digest. I need to set priorities and focus. From all experts, I learned it would take time to build experience, traffic, my branding and identity. Being patience is another KEY.
