Thanks! I will check out the ebook
It’s a nicely formated ebook, but Caroline, I think falls into the fatal flaw of the myth of the long-tail. Moreover, while the tech side of setting up the site (not a blog, a site) with WordPress is fine, there seems to be an awful lot hinging on Google Adsense. Does anyone these days really want to be beholden to Google? I certainly don’t. Then there’s a brief mention of affiliate links…hmmm. There are many approaches to making money on the web, some are very effective, some are not. I honestly don’t think this download, while worth a look, is going to make anyone rich.

I will check it ;)
I’ve just read the book. It is not meant to create or maintain a blog. It’s for creating a niche static website using wordpress.
It’s a good brief ebook. Good work! Credit to Caroline who took all the trouble to provide this piece of information. As a person who has a little bit experience on wordpres, I can read and understand the book fast. But, for those who have not yet use wordpress (like me when I began using it), I may still have problems understanding and digesting it.
Conclusion, it’s a good ebook and I recommend reading it if we want to make money from niche sites.
Numerous e-book formats emerged and proliferated, some supported by major software companies such as Adobe’s PDF format, and others supported by independent and open-source programmers. Multiple readers naturally followed multiple formats, most of them specializing in only one format, and thereby fragmenting the e-book market even more. Due to exclusiveness and limited readerships of e-books, the fractured market of independents and specialty authors lacked consensus regarding a standard for packaging and selling e-books. E-books continued to gain in their own underground markets.
As a beginner, I’ve been helped a lot by Caroline’s blog and the information she provides. Glad to see her mentioned here.
That looking nice. Good try and thanks for share.
But like other say that it is not fully check by us than we say some better word..
Great post, thanks for sharing. I just wish that more people would really share. I’ll be back shortly to read and learn more. I have read alot of good things online about this too.
I see that you have some good categories you choose for the people, they can come in good hands.
