You might have already worked this out, but for a while Darren and I have been beavering away on a little book project:

ProBlogger Book —” Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income

The book is our combined experiences in professional blogging. Making a full time income either directly or indirectly by building effective blogs.

It’s going to be published by Wiley in the next few weeks. All the attendees at SOBCon are going to get a copy, but hey, why not buy one for a friend or six? ;)

I have to say, this is the hardest book I ever wrote. I’m pretty sure Darren wasn’t expecting how tough it would be either ;)

See, in my past writing, there have been minimal expectations. If you buy a book on GDI+ or C# programming you pretty much just expect to get the facts. On this book though, right on the cover, is a huge promise. Six-figure income!

You will be pleased to know we made sure we live up to that promise :)

Sign up to our email list and you will get weekly blogging tips and later this week a full sample chapter in PDF format.

If you pre-order from Amazon right now you get not only their standard discount, but an additional 5%.

Darren has written about the book too over at ProBlogger.

    Congratulations on the book, Chris! Like I said over at Darren’s blog, it’s going to be great picking through both of your brains in hard copy format, while relaxing on the porch – highlighter at the ready! ;)

    Chris, I’m so excited to read this book. Congrats to you and Darren for getting it done. I’ve got two books on blog improvement in the oven and I can empathize somewhat with you – it’s much, much harder than I initially imagined.

    Here’s to your success with it!

    Wow and congrats on this achievement!

    I look forward to see this. Especially as we need a new breeze through a jungle of cloned ebooks. I still prefer a book in hand over any additional screenreadstuff. ;)

    240 pages will surely give some food for thought / blogging!

    Sheesh! I abstain from reading my two favorite bloggers for a while, and they team up to write a book! A REAL book!

    Congratulations, Chris!

    Hey, maybe you should have a contest during the launch, with the prize being an autographed copy or three. (Then after I win, I could sell 2 of ‘em on eBay and retire! ;-)
