That's not what the big money bloggers are doing! Though that's not to say there isn't some truth in putting affiliate links in your blog, but just sprinkling them around and hoping someone clicks on them is the wrong strategy entirely.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better, and look cooler, than $20 no-names... and believing it makes it true.

A business parable about how to create a start-up that won't trap you when you want to sell it. According to John Warrillow, the number one mistake entrepreneurs make is to build a business that relies too heavily on them. Thus, when the time comes to sell, buyers aren't confident that the company-even if it's profitable-can stand on its own. To illustrate this, Warrillow introduces us to a fictional small business owner named Alex who is struggling to sell his advertising agency.

Very helpful info!
It is a great book with lots of info to help with blogging. Only reason I gave 3 stars on performance if there were a few edits that should have been made where I heard breath and background noise. I just learned about narrating, and the video discussed the importance of ensuring these things aren't noticed when publishing the audio. Otherwise, I don't think I would have noticed.
The information provided by the author and the time he put into making this info available is the important part, and I appreciate it so much. That's why I gave overall and story 5 stars.
I would definitely recommend this audio to others. The author is so kind as to give us a couple gifts to continue our learning and our blogging journey. I am a satisfied customer!

This is about more than blogging your passion and a great source for any online entrepreneur with a servant mindset
Over the past 6 months I have become a virtual student of Jonathan Milligan and this audible version of his book is a great culmination of many of the ideas I have heard him share. I highly recommend it to any new entrepreneur—whether blogging is at the core of their business or not.
He shares great ideas that have been demonstrated in the success of his business and he has a faith-filled core that streams through his work and his sense of being that inspires and teaches in a ‘best friend’ “oh by the way, you should consider....”
Super highly recommend and thanks for all you have shared with us, Jonathan. You are an inspiration!

Wanted to like it, but...
I've been looking forward to this book, and eagerly began listening. Half an hour in, I'd become demotivated to continue my listen.
I overall like the author, he comes across as a geniune person and I agree with much of his advice on blogging.
He does preach to the uninitiated though, so I couldn't gain much valuable advice from it. Perhaps it's because I'm a long-time blogger already, but even beginners doesn't need to be served major portions of Tony-Robbins-esque motivational "you don't think you can do this, as you likely always give up... but I'm here to tell you: you can! You really can! blah blah blah" again and again.
Speaking of preaching... As another reviewer noted, the author is religious (christian). He doesn't preach, but there are bible verses spread throughout. I'm all for spirituality and have even been part of a christian fellowship in my past. One of the things that drove me away from church, was the incessant stream of bible verses/quotes thrown into each and every conversation by members of that church. As if one can just cherrypick quotes from the bible to justify any claim to be "the truth". It hindered having open, honest conversations. So, being subject to bible verses in this book, puts it in a special category, one not for me.
Another thing:
In the beginning of the book, the author points the listener to his website. On it, it quickly became apparant that the book was collected was his blog posts and podcast episodes. Basically, nothing new, and all available for free.
His narration:
Jonathan has a pleasant voice. Only problem is: narrating this book; it's *too* pleasant. His blog might be called BloggingYourPassion but the narration here is anything but passionate. That's sad, as the content gets dulled unnessarily, by it. Conversely, in his podcast, he's more relaxed, and more alive. So the content is better digested there, in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong: the content is good – but mostly aimed at those who haven't even started their blog yet.

A solid, if bloated, collection of advice.
Would you try another book from Jonathan Milligan and/or Jonathan Milligan?
Possibly.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Jonathan Milligan?
Possibly.
Did The 15 Success Traits of Pro Bloggers inspire you to do anything?
The book provided some nice, on-the-ground advice for blogging successfully. The most valuable advice was on creating products of various kinds.
Any additional comments?
PROS:
*The narration isn't bad, considering it's narrated by the author.
*There's lots of good, actionable advice in here. And isn't that what we're looking for in buying a book like this?
CONS:
*The author could have done with a professional narration and a professional editor. (There were lots of simple errors in the content, especially when it came to redundant statements.)
*The guy is religious and not afraid to share it in this content. As a non-religious person, I found this irritating.
*There's far too much preamble in each section. The book could have lost two hours or so of numbered lists explaining (unimportant) advantages to these strategies and other fluffy content. It would have been a stronger work if it had focused in more.
