Got blog books? 🙂
If you are looking to be the best blogger you can be, and that means being a brand new blogger to a 10+ year blogging blogger, you can be an even better blogger if you continue your blogging education!
While there are a lot of blogging courses you can pay lots of money for, you can also get a lot of bang for your buck by reading blog books on the specific area of blogging you want to improve on and learn more about.
If you’re ready to add a blog book to your nightstand, here’s your blog book list!
16 Blog Books To Be The Best Blogger You Can Be
There are some amazing blog books on this list I’m super excited to share with you!
I organized this list from beginning blogging to advance blogging, but there are quite a few blog books here that are good for reading (and rereading!) no matter where you are on your blogging journey!
For example, the SEO blog book on this blog book list matters for all bloggers because of SEO changes!
In fact, Google has some serious changes coming up soon, and some that happened just a few months ago, that can really impact your blog!
So if you want blog traffic, (doesn’t everyone want blog traffic?) then keep in the know with all the SEO.
Alrighty, blogger, get ready to be the best blogger you can be by educating yourself with some blogging books, all at a reasonable fee!
Can you tell I’m kinda all about learning as much as you can from blog books before dropping all your money on blog courses that can cost more than a month’s worth of groceries?!
Just sayin’. 🙂

Blog Books: Wellness Blogging
Wellpreneur: The Ultimate Guide for Wellness Entrepreneurs to Nail Your Niche and Find Clients Online
*My choice for any health, fitness, or minimalism blogger but really, I think this book can work for just about any blogger who wants to be a positive influence (which is everyone, right?!)!*
If you want real steps on what to do with your blog, if you’ve been looking for a system that you can use, even if you aren’t in the wellness niche, you’re gonna love this book!
Here’s a review on why this book can bring vitality to anyone’s blogging:
Listen, I never write reviews on Amazon, but I felt I had to with this book. I’m only 40 pages in, but I’ve already learned more than any other “entrepreneurial/start your business” book has offered. All that “just start!”, “find your target market!”, “don’t forget about social media!” advice isn’t helpful or actionable, in my opinion. But with Wellpreneur, Amanda breaks things down into baby steps that actually MAKE SENSE and aren’t daunting or vague. Having my own fitness blog, trying and failing at social media, I felt like I had no direction. But now, I feel like I can really sharpen my focus, gain traction with paying clients, and not be extremely uncomfortable trying to post self-indulgent photo shoots on Instagram or paying for Google Ads.
All this after only 40 pages. I can’t wait to finish and start implementing. I can already feel that Amanda’s going to help my business become an actual business once I’m done. GET THIS BOOK, Y’ALL.
This is a great blog book that not only features valuable information from the author, but she brings in other successful wellness entrepreneurs who add further insight, so you feel more than equipped and ready to follow your big blogging dreams.

*My choice for any woman who wants to rock the blogging world!*
Here’s your blogging inspiration for times when you are experiencing self-doubt and when you need a friend to cheer you on.
Here’s a review on why this is a killer book for all the woman bosses:
I LOVE this book. I’ve read it three times already, purchased it when it first came out and have since recommended it to many friends who also purchased and absolutely loved it. I’ve never heard anyone say one bad thing about this book.
Carrie Green writes eloquently, has great tips, a very motivational attitude and reading this book always gets me fired up to work on my online business. I had never heard of her before seeing ads for this but I’ve become a huge fan afterwards. Simple to follow, beautifully designed, uniquely laid out pages, with lots of golden nuggets. I couldn’t put this book down.
Buy five and hand them out to all of your entrepreneur friends, I promise you, it won’t disappoint.
Hearing it from someone who’s been there can make all the difference.
For bloggers who want to learn from the best, this is a great blogging book that can get you started and keep you going with all your blog business dreams.

Blog Books: Blogging for Life
Principles: Life and Work
*My choice for anyone who wants to bring their best self to all of life whether online or in person!*
If you want a book that will help you at any stage of blogging, here’s your book!
Here’s a review on why this is a must-have resource for anyone who wants to be the best blogger they can be but also the best person they can be:
This book made clear to me one of the missing pieces in my life. You must take the time to write down your principles and make a continual effort to adjust them as your life experiences shape your thinking. That seems so simple, but the effect is profound, I wish I read this decades ago, but no time like the present.
This book is loved by Bill Gates and Tony Robbins and by all sorts of successful entrepreneurs, and maybe you’ll be the next entrepreneur to take their life and business to the next level in part thanks to this book.
There ya go, blogger!
