If you’re looking for advice on how to get started running a blog — and I mean a real blog here, not some hobby blog on Blogger.com — you are going to find a lot of bad information out there. Some of it will get you into trouble with Google, and some will guarantee that your blog fails in a spectacular fashion.

I’ve spoken to a lot of industry insiders, and the consensus is that there are two blogging programs that are head and shoulders above the rest, and will get you started on the road to success. The one I prefer is Blogging in Action, which is a full blueprint for starting and running a blog using all of the same techniques that the six-figure pros use.

There are two FREE books that you can download, too! The author of this book is pretty well-known in the industry as being a tell-it-like-it-is person, and he’s got a reputation for being very accurate and thorough, so it seems like a perfect way to learn how to create a blog.
