I’m excited to announce today one of the worst kept secrets in my life – over the last year (longer actually) I’ve been writing a book with Chris Garrett. Today we’re Pre-Launching it as we’re just weeks from the book becoming available for purchase. The book is published by Wiley and is titled:
ProBlogger Book — Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income
I’ll speak more over the coming weeks about the writing process – but today we just wanted to let you know about the upcoming launch, to point you to a site we’ve put together for the book and to invite you to sign up for a newsletter that will give you access to a sample chapter as well as a series of weekly blogging tips for a whole year.
Pre-Order and Save
The book is available for pre-ordering already at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Amazon has an extra 5% discount currently running for it as a pre-order (for the next two weeks – it will be available on 28 April).
What’s the Book About?
Well the title really says it all – it’s about Chris and my experience as bloggers making a living from our blogging. You can read more of the outline and topics covered here.
Get on the Email List
As mentioned above – we’re offering everyone the opportunity of joining an email list that will give you access to a free taster chapter of the book as well as free weekly blog tips. You can sign up for this here.
PS: see Chris’s announcement of the book here.
About Darren Rowse
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from blogs like 
how exciting — congratulations!
Big congrats to you, Darren, and to Chris.
After authoring three books, two of which are updated every three years, I know intimately that creating a book from scratch is a piece of work and then some.
The best-seller’s list is definitely in your future.
Congratulations Darren! Looking forward to getting my copy and digesting what you guys have to say – I just finished reading your section in Yanik Silver’s Moonlighting on the Internet so I am looking forward to this one.

Congratulations. I’m going to pre-order it now.
Darren, Congratulations!! Was it hard to keep this a secret while you were writing it? I think this is so cool, it just shows what your work and effort over the past 5 years has led up to. WTG!!
Just pre-ordered this! Looking forward to it!
Wow I didn’t know about this (possible the only person who didn’t by the sound of it) Congratulations!
I’ll be following it’s progress for sure.
Congrats to both authors!
Wish there’s the e-version and a paperback version!
Will there be an ebook version?
Congratulations!
Congrats Darren. I will preorder it tonight.
It’s about time a Problogger is released. Looking forward to the read. Congrats!
Nelson – I’m sure it’ll be available form them in store – if not they’d be able to order it for you.
For those asking about international release – I’m told it’s a world wide release and you should be able to get it everywhere but that it’s a 4-6 week delay for non US readers due to shipping/printing etc. Amazon does ship to many countries though so it’s probably quicker to get a copy from them.
Dennis Ray Nestor Jr. – no plans for any signing tours at this point – but happy to sign one if we do bump into each other :-)
JoLynn – not too hard to keep it a secret – it was harder to actually write it!
Cary, Lamonte and others – no plans for an ebook. This is a paper one
Perhaps on the book site’s About page, it means
“Expert analysis of Technorati’s Top Blogs”
rather than
“Expert analysis of Technocrat’s Top Blogs”?
Cool Darren.
Many congrats to you Darren & Chris! :)
Yeah! I’m preordering a copy.
I also added it to the upcoming and new releases section of my Blogtations Book Store.
Just ordered it. Can’t wait! Best of luck Darren and Chris!
Hi Darren…I usually read through a feeder but wanted to stop by the site to say congratulations. I just joined the email list. :)
Just wanted to say that I hope your book is a huge success – I’m sure it will be! I plan to pick up a copy myself, and I’ll spread the word as part of my weekly “Be a Blogger” series. Congratulations!
I’ve been blogging for over a decade and I still make less than $20k/year. Hopefully I can pick up a copy of your book and turn it all around. I look forward to the read!
It looks good, I’ll buy it if I have enough money on my PayPal account. :D
Congrats Darren! A job well done and now that I’ve pre-ordered my copy I can’t wait to get my hot little hands on it. :o)
Let me become a six figure blogger too :) Good to see you too release a book Darren, btw whats the actual price of the book? I see different prices everywhere.
A big ole congratulatons Darren. Completing a book is no easy feat (I know from perosnal experience).
And, with all your other duties I’m sure it was a testament to your organizational fortitude — and oh yeah, that contract you signed promising to be a good boy and stick to your word and deliver a great product — that you stuck it it out and got it done. Way to go!
Yuwanda
Good luck with the book. Looking forward to reading it.
Best of luck Darren. I will be eagerly waiting to recieve my copy. BTW, I have covered about your new book in my blog.

Just put this one on the top of my “To Read” list. Looking forward to its arrival!
How to buy this book if I live outside of US country?
Did you get a Clinton (Bill not Hills) level advance on the deal? Seriously congrads on the book deal. I’m sure with the launch you’ll even receive even more traffic to the site.
Wow how nice is that! On Amazon also? You know you hit it big if you get a book on there. Very nice.
How timely, as today I start on SFB course. I am sure it will be a great resource for bloggers.
Re you poll nothing on personal development, self improvement, it must be a niche a s there is rarely a category for my blog See you in class
Congratulations Darren! I have pre-ordered it. Now, do I get my money back if I don’t at least make a 3 digit income? :)
Well done, not sure if it is your first published book.
SUper. I will order asap. Will it be available on Kindle?
am waiting for the book.. urm just a question, why don’t have e-book version?
where have i been, i gotta get this book man!!
I want to have a copy of this book… I want to know the price?
Congratulations Darren!
Looking forward to read the book!
But I have one question…
Would this book affect the success of your Fix Figure Blogging course? Many people might think that buying the book ($16.49) is a cheaper alternative than taking the course ($427).
Just a though
Aaron,
just my 2 cents worth. I was on class 1 yesterday and I know a lot about blogging. Darren may call me an intermediate blogger?
I picked up things from Darren and Andy on class yesterday that I doubt you would get from the book. There is also the forum where you get to interact with both as well as other participants.
I bought the course at early bird price and I don’t know if you can still join, but if you decide to would love you to head to my site to join up. http://www.abundancehighway.com and click on the SFB button. Thanks :)
Darren, I was glad to see you Twitter that the book could actually ship sooner than Amazon said!
Really looking forward to it.
Peace,
Ed
Thanks for the offer Suzie, but right now my timing is not right. Baby on the way!
So will consider taking the course at a later time.
I do understand that the course will cover more topics than the book and I hope everyone looks at it that way.
Aaron – yeah I think the book and course are quite different. The course is more personal with opportunity for interaction, testing of ideas and even a little looking at people’s specific blogs/projects where as the book is obviously less so. There is some nice overlap between the two though – in a sense the book would make a nice text book for the class.
Finally my blogger idol, finally to launch a book. Hopefully i manage to get the book. Can’t wait to reach out my hand holding the book and eye catching those secret word in the book. :)
I am a big fan of you. Very exicited about the book and can’t wait to get it one.
I also wrote about the prelauch on my blog.
Congrats On Your Book! Can’t Wait to Buy It! Will be on Amazons waiting list!
There are many blogging ebooks.. anyway.. good luck with the sale.
Your blog very inspiring,anyone will getting more advantages from here . have a nice weekend :)
