Best blogging books. Inspiration and growth. Two words that have been cropping up over and over again in many of the resolution posts that I’ve been reading over the past few days. Personally I’m always looking for things to write about, my eyes and ears are always alert! Mostly ideas come to me but there are definitely days when I’m stuck for my next brilliant post…. Here are two blogger books that I’ve found which do the trick perfectly for me.
Style Feed: The World’s Top Fashion Blog. This book contains an amazing grouping of photographs from about 40 different bloggers worldwide. I love how they are similar yet totally different. Everyone has a voice and a direction. Just reading about them, some inspired, some informed but they all had something interesting to say and helped me shape my blog. The best parts are the mini interviews with each blogger. I love the insight. I love reading about why they started their blogs and how they think about them.
Blog Inc. This is one book that every blogger should read. With Chapters like: Finding your Voice and Niche, Powering your Blog (which platforms to choose, how to pick your design etc.) and Blogging Community Etiquette, every new blogger will find it indispensable and it’s a great reminder for the seasoned ones as well. For those of you who are more experienced there are chapters like: Making Your Blog a Business and Monetizing your Blog…. I’m sure a lot of us have dreamed about this even just a little….
So for the start of New Year, for those of you examining your blogs and making plans for which direction you want to move in, I highly recommend these reads!
Oh and just in case you are looking for a convenient place to write down and plan all your amazing posts check out this blog, Ispasiyo by Denise. You’ll get a series of ready made templates that you can use once inspiration hits! I’ll definitely be using them.
These are some of the best blogging books. Which blogger books do you get your inspiration from?

Hi Caroline.
I shall add these to my toread list on GoodReads. I often read fashion and beauty blogs but never have I read anything blogging fashion related. Keen to try though!
Much Love,
Karen.

Happy New Year!!! You’ve inspired me to read all the above! Great finds!
Hi Caroline! First off, thanks for the nice comments on my blog (did you get my response via email? :D)! And thanks for linking to the templates!
I’ve been meaning to get BLog, Inc since it was released, but I don’t know if I am willing to just get the kindle/digital edition. I tend to like my non-fiction books in tangible paper and print–then I can highlight them and write little notes 😛 Oh and have you heard about Blog Wonderful? I might give that a try too! 🙂
Anyway, happy 2013!
Downloading Blog Wonderful right now! Thanks so much for the tip!!!
Have you read it? How is it? I just bought Blog, Inc and will start reading it in a bit! So excited 🙂
They both look like books I should check out too. I am sure that you will enjoy them! : )
This selection is amazing! I will definitel have a look at these two books asap!
I send you a big hug! 😀
Brilliant finds! I must read these too! 🙂
They are really good!
Ooooh, looks like I definitely need to add this to my reading list. I love that Blog, Inc. is available on iBooks too. I think the last time I bought paper books was during the Sandy hurricane because power is out and I couldn’t charge my iPad LOL

I’m going to check out Style Feed! Always looking for new inspiration in fashion/lifestyle blogging. And one of my resolutions was to read more books (in lieu of the go-to blogs and magazines); a good book every once and awhile never hurt!
