I SO could have used this book when I started blogging. Seriously. With The Big Genealogy Blog Book, Amy Coffin, my friend and colleague, brings to the genealogy blogging world a great resource that has been sorely missing.

With over 2000 genealogy blogs listed at Geneabloggers.com, you might think, "Does the world really need another genealogy blog?" In her new e-book, Amy successfully tackles this question and many others that surround the genealogy blogging world.

Amy Coffin is the author of the very successful genealogy blog, The We Tree Genealogy Blog, and she describes herself on her blog as someone who can "...find genealogy information in the darndest places and I like showing others how to do the same." And she does this very well in her new book.

Here are 3 reasons why you should buy The Big Genealogy Blog Book:
  1. Amy gives clear and solid reasons why a genealogist should start a blog, and she successfully tackles common genealogy blogging myths. Her suggestions give the unsure genealogist the confidence to make the jump into the genealogy blogging world.
  2. Often, once a genealogist makes the jump into the genealogy blogging world, a question they often face is, "What now?" Here, Amy does a fantastic job of providing tips on the finer points of blogging giving the beginning blogger the confidence they need to continue and to succeed in blogging.
  3. Amy provides a plethora of blogging topics for all levels of bloggers, from novices to experienced. She even provides excellent blogging topics and blogging advice for genealogical societies and professional genealogists.
Amy Coffin's The Big Genealogy Blog Book is a much-needed resource for genealogists that you simply cannot find anywhere else. She writes in her introduction, "If your blogging get up and go just got up and went, then this book is for you!" [I'll say.] And? You should get up and buy it right now. Metaphorically speaking, of course, because more than likely you're at your computer. And if you are, then you should go on and click and buy it for $2.99 at one of the following places:

Lulu.com PDF and EPUB

or at Amazon.com:
