I just got off a call with my NLP coach. We swap services, so I give him advice about internet stuff, and he helps me with my (many) "issues". One of the things he is helping me work through is my fear of moving my family thousands of miles away to live in Calgary, Canada. He said ...

Problogger Book, Now in Second Edition!

I am proud to say the Problogger Book is now in a second edition :)

Well, apparently – Darren and I have yet to see it!

The previous edition was released back in 2008 and this second edition should start rolling out … now! Apparently it will be hitting stores as I write this, and in fact it’s already on Amazon with 34% off.

This is an update of the 1st edition and not a complete rewrite – however there are a few significant updates including:

  • Many many small updates and changes throughout the book. New examples, screenshots, updates of new tools, a few deletions of references to old tools, an update to our stories in the intro etc.
  • A whole chapter on social media and how it impacts and can be used by bloggers – one of the ways things have moved on in the last couple of years!
  • Darren has added a case study chapter that goes through the first 4 years of Digital Photography School (Darren’s main blog – yup, Problogger is NOT his main blog). He goes through how it was launched, how he makes money and how he has grown that massive audience.
  • Bonuses – we’re offering anyone who buys the book a series of bonuses (some interviews with successful bloggers, some extra teaching etc) over time on the Problogger Book site member’s area.

I will update you with news about ebook/Kindle and so on when I have it from Wiley, but the previous edition was available in both digital and print.

Check it out on Amazon, or get more information on the book site now
