With so many blogging COURSES available to new and advanced bloggers, we were beginning to wonder if any BOOKS on blogging still existed. Well, in this case e-books. Our search for good blogging books led us directly to a few bloggers who agreed to share their favorites. So, we presented our question:
“What is your favorite/most influential book (not course) that helped you most in your blogging career?”
Not courses.
But books. We wanted to locate Blogging Books For People Who Want Results.
First, let’s establish that we have nothing against blogging courses. In fact, we may recommend a few blogging courses for beginners on this website. But, we wanted to go old school. Well, as old-school as you can get. E-books.
If you’re a blogger we hope that you find one of the recommended books to be of great value to you. There’s so much information on the web to help you make money blogging that sometimes you just don’t know where to begin.
We were surprised by a few of the answers and not so surprised by others. Take a look. Are any of your favorite books on blogging listed?
Recommended Blogging Books
I read a couple of blogging books and Blog Startup by Meera Kothand stands out for me the most because a new blogger is already overwhelmed with ‘all’ the work they find out they ‘need’ to do for making blogging work. I learned (about) focusing on the right things at the right time from this book. Meera guides (you) to the highest ROI activities blog startups require for success. Plus, it comes with additional resources to support new bloggers. – Hena Bilal / Mending With Gold
For Pinterest, I found two eBooks that were amazing: 1) Carly’s Pinteresting Strategies and 2) Tracie’s Precision Pinning book. Both were amazing and by reading both, I tripled my traffic to my site. – Debbie Gartner / The Flooring Girl
I started by taking Ed Dale’s the Challenge and I learned a lot. Now it is called Your First Dollar, and it’s free. – Fern LaRocca / Mindful Life Tools
“What the Tech?” by Lesley Clavijo is an amazing ebook. From the first install of your website to customizing a theme, Lesley’s ebook is a great document to follow as you set up your first blog / website! I wish I’d found it sooner, but I was so grateful when I finally did! – Ariana Marshall / Career Break Mom
I found Victoria from A Modern Homestead’s book super informative. Her book is, Make Money Blogging At Any Level, and she talks about ways to make money no matter where your traffic levels are at. She lists sponsored post companies I had no idea existed, and I got my first major sponsored post after grabbing her book. So worth it!!

Thank you Torey!
Great list
Thank you Shanda!
Hi Shanda –
Yes, we agree. Whenever you sell used stuff to someone who is not going to be the “actual user” of the stuff then they will indeed leave room in the purchase price so they can then resell it for a profit. DeClutter may be an option for someone who wants money faster than posting an ad and hoping someone will buy their items.
We appreciate your feedback.

Hi Tracy,
I am actually always looking for new books that I can read to get more blogging education.
I actually picked up Carly’s book a while back. I’ve been implementing the strategies for about a month now. I am starting to see some results from it.
I’ve never heard of the precision pinning ebook. Maybe I’ll have to check it out after to see if I can pick up some more Pinterest nuggets.
Thanks for sharing these books with us. I personally think it’s important to stay updated and keep educating yourself with online marketing.
have a great day 🙂
Susan
