I’ve been a total slacker when it comes to my reading goals. My goal wasn’t even that ambitious {to read 12 books this year}, but I’ve totally gotten off track. I’m hoping to catch up a bit, but with a little one due to arrive at the end of October, I’m not going to beat myself up if it doesn’t happen. In fact, I may just change my reading goal now to 9 books and give myself a total pass for the fall.
I was only able to finish 1 of the books from my winter reading list, but I still wanted to share some of my thoughts on the book that I did complete.
This ebook was recommended to me by Crystal Paine, the author of MoneySavingMom. She has raved about this book so much, even saying it’s been the most insightful book on blogging that she has ever read. That’s a pretty strong review, considering Crystal is a very successful blogger herself. Let’s just say that this ebook did not disappoint whatsoever.
I started reading it as soon as I was able to get my hands on a Kindle {thanks to my sweet sorority sister who generously gave me hers since she was no longer using- SO sweet!}. The author, Ruth blogs at LivingWellSpendingLess, which is a very successful frugal living blog. She really knows her stuff when it comes to blogging and has been able to support her family through blogging. She is so kind to pass along her wisdom to those of us who are desperate to learn the ropes!
I ate this book up so quickly, but plan to unpack it more as I have the time. This ebook will be a great resource for the future as I learn more about how to turn my hobby into a part-time income. One of the things I loved about the book was how she breaks down the overall subject {how to blog for profit} into practical and actionable topics. At the end of each chapter, she even gives some actions steps you can take to make some traction. While I haven’t implemented everything she suggests {mostly due to time or lack of resources}, her advice regarding the use of Pinterest has been extremely helpful and I have seen immediate results. Who knew? Well, Ruth did!
If you are looking to turn your blog into a revenue stream, then you absolutely need to read this book. It will be a huge inspiration and resource and get you headed in the right direction!

I don’t think I’ve met anyone who had read this book and hasn’t said it’s been life changing. If the book is anywhere near as beautifully written as her blog, A Holy Experience, then I know I’m in for a treat. This has been on my “list” for a while now, but I’m really going to try and finish it up this summer!
