Let’s keep this post simple. No lengthy introduction, no filler just to make room for adds.

Just a simple list of the best books I’ve read about blogging.

1.
The One Hour Content Plan
This will help you create a plan to create great content. It won’t write it for you, and it won’t tell you the things you should write about, but it will give you a clear plan to get there yourself.

2.
365 Blog Topic Ideas
This one actually WILL give you things to write about.

3.
Six Figure Blogging Blueprint
Literally exactly what the title says. This books offers a kind of “no nonsense” blueprint for a money-making blog, with an emphasis on getting off the ground quickly. It’s not an easy blueprint, but it works.

4.
Blog Inc. Blogging for Passion, Profit, and to Create Community
This one has a slightly softer approach, with an emphasis on creating a blogging business that’s meaningful to you and the community.

5.

Saving the best for last. This is an absolute classic.
