Free Ebook - A Complete Guide To Blogger For Beginners

Posted: 28 Jul 2012 03:01 PM PDT

You know one of the things I constantly have to keep in mind while writing tutorials is the Newbie or Beginner Blogger.Whether it's tutorials for WordPress or Blogger blogs I always try to write posts as if I was writing them for a complete newcomer to blogging.Indeed I think this has been one of the reasons behind the success of Spice Up Your Blog.I have published many Basic Blog Tips and Video Tutorials specifically for new bloggers, along with this the steps in tutorials are usually accompanied by a Video showing the steps required.

But there is only so many posts we can publish which cover the basics of Blogging.For this reason I have often thought of putting together an Ebook on the topic.I never really got around to it but fear not Amanda Kennedy of Blogger Buster has recently done the job and a fantastic job at that.

Blogger Buster was one of the few Blogger tips blogs around when I started Spice Up Your Blog and is still as good as ever.I'm sure you have seen the now thousands of sites trying to break into the niche with low quality and copied content (There have been some good exceptions).

It's true that for a lot of blogs, the quality of the website diminishes when earning money is prioritized. Most of the site's space that was once dedicated for relevant content is now replaced by random advertisements.

The problem though with standing up for a good reputation is that it may affect the availability of income-generating resources that are essential to sustain that good reputation. Without sufficient funding, running your site may be terminated.

To better weigh both options, here are actual blogging experiences that were once caught in this dilemma.
