Start a Successful Blog: Turn Your Hobby into Business by Jacob Lange is a guide that answers all the questions that can arise while planning to start a blog. Jacob starts with the most basic question – how to choose a topic for the blog which will attract readers. Thereafter, he explains other aspects to consider, like choosing a web host. How should one select a name for the blog, and what information is to be made available to others through ‘About,’ 'Contact’ etc. The author also mentions the importance of building an audience and how that can be used for generating income. Ethical as well as legal issues like copyright and trade mark are also mentioned in this pocket guide.
Jacob makes blogging quite easy in that the questions answered here are the ones that have been found to dampen the blogging spirit. Jacob’s short guide will go a long way in easing one's preparations for launching a blog, both by choosing all the areas that need to be attended to, and by avoiding nonproductive time and effort of learning from one's mistakes. A list of suggested web hosts, like WordPress, would have met another crucial need for those disposed to following such a path. A helpful book, one I wish I had read earlier.
