Have you wanted to start a blog, but arenโt sure where to start? Already started a blog, but donโt know about all of the technical aspects of blogging?
Donโt worry! I have an exciting new resource for all of you bloggers out there, newbies and experienced bloggers alike. Introducing iBlog: everything you need to know about blogging from 30 top bloggers eBook!
Iโve had the honor of teaming up with 30 other top bloggers to produce this new eBook! This resource is basically a bloggerโs โhow-toโ manual to help you start and maintain a successful blog. Itโs literally packed full of tips and advice from 30 influential and successful bloggers.
And while there are several homeschooling contributors, this book is by no means just for homeschoolers, but it is for all bloggers out there looking for a great โhow-toโ guide to improve their blog!

Each of us tackled a topic that we were most familiar with, so when you combine all of our brain powerโฆ.whew! You know the iBlog eBook is an excellent resource from some serious blogging experts!
Iโve personally been blogging for about 3 years now, and still donโt know all there is to know about blogging. It definitely doesnโt help that online industry is a constantly changing beast. So I was so excited to receive my copy of this eBook to learn more about all those aspects of blogging that I am still learning.
Thanks to the collaboration of these awesome bloggers, we have truly created a valuable resource for all bloggers, both veteran and newbies!
My Contribution:
I was so excited to write a chapter titled โUsing Freebies to Build Your Blogโ.ย ย As you all know I love to offer freebies to you all, and sort of stumbled into selling my own products as well!
I never intended for my blog to grow like it has, and I certainly wasnโt strategically creating freebies to try and gain followers. Nor am I a business or marketing genius. But looking back, I can honestly say that offering freebies was something that helped build my blog even though I was blissfully unaware of their power! So in this chapter I hope to share how you can create your own freebies to share on your blog as well.
I was also blessed to contribute to the chapter on โSelling Your Own Products along side with Cindy West from Our Journey Westward, and Amy Maze from Living & Learning at Home. If you havenโt already checked out their blogs, I highly encourage you to do so. Both are full of wonderful homeschool resources!
And as most of you know, I also have created quite a bit of curriculum which I am able to sell in my Confessions of a Homeschooler store as well. While I hadnโt ever anticipated selling my own products when I first started blogging, it was a natural progression that has definitely blessed our family. So in this chapter I share my story on how I create and sell my products so you might be encouraged to do the same!
So letโs get to the eBook shall we?
I think the best way for me to explain the awesomeness of this book is to share our Table of Contents. There are 37 chapters with close to 400 pages full of helpful of information.
We bloggers share everything we have learned along our blogging journeys, from photography tips, how to get traffic, best practices for researching and organizing your content, joining link-ups, writing a media kit to attract advertisers, how to balance blogging, marriage, motherhood and much much more!
Seriously, I donโt think thereโs a topic we missed in regards to blogging!
