What Others Are Saying

"Ruth’s ebook is hands down the best blogging ebook I’ve ever read. I cannot recommend it highly enough and will be telling every new and seasoned blogger I know to get a copy! It is comprehensive, but not overwhelming, and packed with amazing information. I don’t say that lightly. By implementing the Pinterest strategies that Ruth suggests in her ebook, I have increased my site traffic by over 500,000 unique visitors per month. For real. Ruth is brilliant!"--Crystal Paine, MoneySavingMom.com

“I’m a veteran blogger, headed into my 6th year. I didn’t get to Chapter 2 before I was so compelled by her invaluable advice that I stopped reading and started implementing her smart and savvy tips. Four hours and a much better navigation bar later, I kept reading and found no less than fifty things that I could be doing better. This is probably the 10th blogging ebook I’ve read, but by the far the best. She is brilliant and generous and you will be amazed at the pearls of wisdom in this book. I love her style, which is the perfect blend of the philosophical and the practical and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve referred back to her advice. It’s been a month since I employed many of her techniques and my traffic and income are up 25%. I’m so glad she took the time to write this. It’s a gift to the blogging community.“--Edie Wadsworth, LifeinGraceBlog.com

"Ruth is one of the authorities on blogging. Four months ago she gave me a small piece of advice that transformed one of my blogs from 30,000 unique visitors to 300,000. If there was one book that I would spend money to buy, this is it. From the basics of blogging to in depth marketing and income generation, Ruth knows what she is talking about. You don’t have to wonder if she practices what she preaches, she shows you her real numbers. Buy this book, it will change the way you look at blogging."--Nathan Engels, WannaBite.com & WeUseCoupons.com
