Good for a beginning shooterBy Here today.....gone tomorrow.Another highly hyped product from a "guru" - however this one actually has some decent advice in it. It takes you through the basics of different platforms and how to use them properly. The suggestions on timing are good as are protocols to follow - the last third of the book feels like filler to me. Would I buy it again? Nope - but I would give it to an assistant photographer or someone starting out.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Blogging I Will Go!By J.

Book for beginnersBy ParkaBlogging for Photographers is a beginners guide essentially; targeted at someone who has never blogged before. The author is Jolie ODell from Mashable and Venture Beat.If you already have some blogging experience; then this book may not be that useful because it covers only the basics. But if you know nothing beforehand; then this will give you a quick start; or the work you can expect when your blog is up.The blogging basics are covered well with the photographer in mind; with constant reference back to the photographer. Im also a blogger (not on photography though); and many of whats written in the book are things that I do regularly. The tips are pretty standard but still useful; not nothing Ive never seen before but books on blogging typically cover the same content.The chapters covers the different blogging platforms; content writing; building a community; monetization; finding inspiration and some basic photo editing techniques with Photoshop. The chapter on photo editing can easily be devoted to more blogging content as there are better books that deal with such technical knowledge.Throughout the book there are examples of prominent photography blogs featured. Those are great as inspiration that you can aspired towards; as well as a good resource for coming up with ideas on what to write.There are reviewers that comment that the book doesnt go into detail. It sort of feels that way; but the thing with blogging is; you just go in and write something and learn on the way; its not too difficult.Overall; its a good book; but Ill only recommend it to those with absolutely no blogging experience.
