Blogging in Action by Shaun Taylor and Jared Conley covers the many topics of blogging in more detail than any of the other blogging courses I have reviewed. The book has 4 parts and it begins with your typical blogging basics, then a detailed step-by-step print and video on installing WordPress. Followed by configuring and setting up your blog.

The second half of the book deals with content writing, and has several chapters that none of the other books cover relating to the mechanics of how to blog, how to write good posts, what kinds of posts to write, etc. These sections are worth their weight in gold, as they are not widely discussed in blogging circles.

The fourth section of the book discusses search engine optimization, traffic generation, marketing, monetization, and other advanced topics. What sets this book apart from many others is that rather than presenting an abstract objective, the authors show you exactly what works best, going so far as to describe in detail exactly how your contextual and affiliate ads should be styled and formatted.

There is a lot of useful information in this 258-page e-book so my advice is once you learn a new technique then you must immediately implement it, and Shaun provides all the necessary steps to follow. Just take each advice one piece at a time.

Shaun Taylor is a well-respected blogger who been interviewed alongside other bloggers like Yaro Starak and Steve Pavilina.

Surprisingly, the bonuses for this course is actually useful, such as the keyword tool, security and backup software, and a large number of videos (over 40 of them). You get to learn by both reading and watching.

THE Package Contains: – the 258-page Blogging in Action e-book – 15 QuickStart Videos – 4 Companion Videos – Keyword Sheriff research tool – WordPress Secure Pro – 3 bonus Videos on additional blogging topics – 10 Advanced WordPress Videos – 10 Internet and Blogging basics Videos – Complete Backup Pro script, guide, and Video – Preparing Your Blog for Traffic report – Million Dollar Copywriting Secrets e-book – Dominate the Web 2.0 Market e-book – Making Sense of Google AdSense e-book – Web 2.0 Sites Exposed e-book – Lifetime product updates – Live customer support

CONCERNS: The book is very comprehensive so this might discourage you from reading a lot of good information. You cannot download any of the 40+ Videos, you have to go online to watch them. Shaun uses several of the same testimonials over and over in his sales page.
