Waltham, MA (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

It seems that everyone has a blog these days. But there is a big difference between having a blog and having a successful blog. In Bloggers Boot Camp, a new book from Focal Press, blogging experts Charlie White (Mashable) and John Biggs (TechCrunch) show bloggers how to go from run-of-the-mill to exceptional blogging.

Bloggers Boot Camp shows bloggers how to build a great blog from the ground up. This isn't a book about technology -- it's a book about engaging millions of readers. Bloggers Boot Camp shows bloggers how to:

  • Uncover a niche for the blog, and realize key factors about each individual blogger that they need to know before they write a single word.
  • Gather the ideal tools for blogging, without spending too much or approaching it underequipped.
  • Discover the best ways to spread the word about the new blog.
  • Find the most compelling stories to write about, and get the information before anyone else does.
  • Transform writing by learning the subtle art of constructing a compelling, engaging blog post.
  • Stimulate readers to directly participate in the two-way conversation, perhaps the most exciting part of this new way of communicating.
In addition to Bloggers Boot Camp, the book, White and Biggs share their secrets as part of an online companion course. In the 12-week, online social learning program, Biggs and White will personally lead the course (in real-time) in a unique social learning environment powered by Simversity. With the book and online course, bloggers will be able to make their blogs world-class.
