Geared Up for 2010 January 7, 2010 at 10:00 am As with any new venture, we all learn as we go and eventually gain experience and knowledge. I am still in my first year with blogging, and granted I have learned a lot, but I have so much more to learn. I have many goals for my blog in 2010 and I am going to really focus on its growth. I want to gain more readers, create great content, and reach new heights. For Christmas my husband geared me up for 2010 with several books to help me be more successful and to stay motivated. I received the following books and I have already started reading a few of them: Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable by Seth Godin Conversation Marketing: Internet Marketing Strategies by Ian Lurie Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion by Gary Vaynerchuk ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income by Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability by Steve Krug Twitter Power: How to Dominate Your Market One Tweet at a Time by Joel Comm Have you read any of these books and did you find them helpful? What other books do you recommend to newer or even experienced bloggers? What other resources have been the most beneficial to you for growing your blog? What are your plans for growth in 2010? *The links above are direct links to Amazon.com and are not affiliate links.
