“Building A Framework: The Ultimate Blogging Handbook” by Abby Lawson of Just A Girl And Her Blog
This is a great e-Book for beginning bloggers as there is a lot of info on how to set up your blog and get started. There is also a lot on working with other bloggers and social media strategies, so it’s a great read for any blogger. I bought it because I already had an idea that her blog was making a profit (her husband writes an income blog about her blog) and I wanted to see their tips and strategies.
“How I Made $40k My First Year Of Blogging” by Chelsea Lords of Chelsea’s Messy Apron.
This is a fantastic e-Book for any blogger looking to generate more income from their blog. She talks about how she made $45 her first month and grew that to almost $7500 a month a year later. She covers everything from giveaways to social media to finding a mentor. Chelsea even lists out exactly how she monetized. She tells you how much she made from ads, freelance work, sponsored posts, etc and even names the ad networks that she ran her ads through. There were things in the book that made me go “Duh! Why didn’t I think of that?” She also reminded me to effectively utilize the resources that I am already using. There are even some blog planner printables. I highly recommend this book.

“Say No to Auto” by Kristen Duke of Kristen Duke Photography.
This book is an invaluable resource for someone looking to learn the manual settings on their camera. When I got my DSLR I purchased this ebook and I have only shot in manual ever since. Manual mode really makes all the difference and this is an excellent read for budding photographers.
