Authors who are looking for step-by-step advice for using a blog to write a book, grow an idea, or make a difference will find the inspiration and information they’re looking for in Rajesh Setty’s Blogtastic.

Rajesh is giving away an entire book of helpful and informed blogging advice and inspiration, one post at a time on his popular Active Garage blog.

Visit Blogtastic’s Table of Contents, and scroll down when you get there, so you can catch up on the chapters you’ve missed since Thanksgiving, when the project began. The content is so good that I’ve been printing out each post on 3-hole paper and am saving them in a Blogtastic 3-ring binder.

What sets Blogtastic apart?

Blogtastic is not just another “How to blog” book. It assumes a certain familiarity with the mechanics of blogging, and proceeds deeper, to a more thoughtful level.

Like Rajesh Setty’s other books, it’s message is profound in terms of a blog’s potential impact and meaning, and the change that takes place in the blogger as they post. Yet, it’s as practical and relevant as all of Rajesh’s writing tends to be: thoughtful and inspirational, yet detailed enough to be actionable and immediately helpful. Plus, there’s enough of a story to each post to add a human element.

Getting a taste of Blogtastic’s flavor

One of my favorite Blogtastic posts is Goldilocks and Three Blogs which addresses content issues.  This post, like the others, is a concise 500 words, in which Rajesh combines thoughtful ideas with practical and useful information–with a touch of story thrown in.

Like other posts in the Blogtastic series, Goldilocks and Three Blogs ends with a specific, actionable tip. For example:

Blogging Tip: Keep your blog interesting and relevant

Most people are not reading your blog because it is part of their job responsibility. Now, if you are a world-expert in some topic, it’s possible that someone’s boss will tell their employees to keep up with your blog. For example, if you work in the field of search engine optimization, your boss might tell you to read Matt Cutts’ official blog at Google.

Most of the blogging world isn’t that fortunate. Your blog needs to be interesting enough so that readers want to come back again and again. However, interesting should never be at the cost of relevance.

Rajesh’s goal is to help you take your blog, and your business, to the next level. Visit Blogtastic’s table of contents, (scroll down when you get there, so you can catch up on the posts you’ve missed) and begin your journey today.
