Poetry and Peonies: Photo Book Series

Photography eBook: Poetry and Peonies Volume 1: Japanese Tree Peonies

Photography eBook: Poetry and Peonies Volume 1: Japanese Tree Peonies

Peonies have always fascinated me, from the bushes that grew in my Grandmother’s garden years ago to the tree peonies I recently discovered in the Botanical Gardens in New York City. They are so colorful, so playful and yet so serene.

I can, and have, spend hours just looking and drinking in their solitude and beauty.

This book is the first in a series and even though it isn’t all poetry, I hope you will give me poetic license to include quotes and words that are inspirational to me, and hopefully to you.

This book has full color photographs when viewed on Kindle apps or on the Kindle Fire, and the images are also beautiful in black and white when displayed on devices that don’t support color.

Currently available on the Kindle, coming soon for the Nook. Don’t have a Kindle? No problem! There are free Kindle Apps for your PC or Mac, plus other devices. Check the Amazon Kindle store to find out your options.

A Butterfly Lights Beside Us

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam…
and for a brief moment it’s glory
and beauty belong to our world…
but then it flies on again, and although
we wish it could have stayed,
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.
~ Author Unknown

All our butterfly photographs are taken of live butterflies in the wild or in sanctioned butterfly conservatories.

SEO Basics for Bloggers

I am relatively new to blogging, and am still have so much to learn. One of the most important things (and to me the most confusing) is SEO (Search Engine Optimization).

About the Product:

Blogging ABCs hosts Deborah Carney, Tricia Meyer, Vinny O’Hare, are joined by guest Eric Nagel to discuss the basics of SEO tactics for bloggers. Eric is an SEO specialist that shared his information with us, and included in this transcript is an actionable outline of tips that every blogger can implement. SEO Basics for Bloggers, published by NightFire Publications, is the transcript of this discussion in ebook format.

What I Thought:
I was really happy to get the chance to review this ebook, because every blogger knows that search engine optimization (SEO) is super important. It is the key to making sure readers are able to find what you are writing. This has been on my blogging to-do list, but it is so intimidating that I have been procrastinating. After reading SEO Basic for Bloggers, I feel less intimidated (enough that I might actually start the optimizing process).

I felt that this ebook was more for the advanced beginner (as compared to a real novice like me). They assumed that you would know some of the what & how of basic SEO (such as permalinks, meta tags, etc). However, I did like the format and all the extras included in the end. Overall, this is a really great little ebook that is packed full of tips & helpful information.

Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog – Review by UncreativeMommy

This ebook is perfect for those who are new to blogging and who need help trying to figure out whether their blog will be specialized or more generalized. It also talks about how choosing can impact monetization of our blogs.

The issue I had with this ebook is how it is written, as a discussion between several bloggers. It really makes following the discussion difficult.

Choosing the Scope and Structure of your Blog Ebook can be found at Amazon and it is a NightFire Publications Ebook

Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog (ebook) – Review by Tania

I was fortunate enough to be able to review the Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog ebook from Nightfire Publications. This is a transcript of a roundtable discussion between Tricia Meyer, Deborah Carney, and Liz Fogg – all very well established bloggers in their own right.

This ebook offers newbies and experienced bloggers alike great pointers and tips for deciding between a niche blog or a general blog. I know I hadn’t thought about this prior to reading this ebook and I’m sure many other bloggers out there haven’t either. Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog discusses monetization and affiliate marketing on blogs and how important it is to decide on niche vs. general when considering monetization and affiliate marketing.

Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog is highly beneficial for those bloggers still uncertain as to which blogging software or platform to choose. Again, the roundtable discusses how the choice of your platform or software can have huge impact on your ability to successfully monetize your blog or have profitable affiliate marketing.

I know I took many great tips and ideas for my blog from this ebook. One of my concerns with this ebook was how anti-Blogger/blogspot this group of ladies was. Unfortunately, I use Blogger as my blogging platform simply because of how user friendly it is in general. The ladies behind Choosing Your Scope and Structure of Your Blog do NOT like Blogger/blogspot at all. Which is fine for those of you who are savvy enough about web design and structure to be able to use a different blogging platform – I am not there yet though. These ladies do have many valid points concerning blog scope (niche vs. general) and blog structure (platform and software).

My other concern with Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog is that it is not the easiest to read in the roundtable discussion format. Reading a discussion between three different people makes it a little challenging for smooth reading. Aside from those two points though I was happy to learn some valuable blogging information and tips from three very successful bloggers.

At the end of Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog there is a page of resources that are mentioned by the ladies in their discussion. This is a nice bonus to help bloggers with a summarization of the ladies’ points from this ebook.

SEO Basics for Bloggers Kindle Book Review

This is the fourth in a series of reviews I am doing of products from Blogging ABCs. I was impressed with their 5 Affiliate Marketing Benefits for Bloggers Webinar, Best Practices for Coupon Sites, Facebook + Email = Success, and Choosing the Scope and Structure of Your Blog. Today I am reviewing “SEO Basics for Bloggers.”

Product Description

Blogging ABCs hosts Deborah Carney, Tricia Meyer, Vinny O’Hare, are joined by guest Eric Nagel to discuss the basics of SEO tactics for bloggers. Eric is an SEO specialist that shared his information with us, and included in this transcript is an actionable outline of tips that every blogger can implement.

Review

This is an easy to read, 16-page guide to SEO. Keep in mind that this is a transcript of a discussion and so it is not as fluid as a written book, however it is very easy to follow. This ebook is intended for people who have started a blog or are thinking about starting a site, but who have already participated in some of the Blogging ABCs lessons, primarily because there are some terms and lingo that you might not be familar with. I have to admit, I had heard of SEO but had no idea what it was or why it was important. SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization.” So as you can imagine, this guide talks about how you rank on search engines like Google and how you can improve. One tip I found very helpful (and interesting) is that you should actually INCLUDE misspelled keywords in your blog posts. This guide is another great tool from Blogging ABC’s.

SEO Basics for Bloggers (ebook) – Review from Tania Bugnet

I recently read SEO Basics for Bloggers which is an ebook from Nightfire Publications that is a transcript of a podcast of Eric Nagel, Tricia Meyer, Deborah Carney, and Vinny O’Hare.

This ebook covers such SEO topics as keyword research, title tags, images, social sharing, and sitemaps. In SEO Basics for Bloggers again the format is not the easiest to read (as I mentioned in my review of Choosing Your Scope and Structure of Your Blog) due to the roundtable discussion formatting. Definitely not my favorite way to read an ebook.

As I am still learning about SEO myself I thought reading this ebook would do me some good and I could learn some valuable SEO skills. Alas, SEO Basics for Bloggers needs to be re-titled SEO Basics for Bloggers using WordPress. This group of bloggers and SEO masters all use WordPress so basically none of the tips or tricks were applicable to me as I am a lowly Blogger-platform blogger. Another issue I had with this ebook was the fact that this group of podcasters did not start at the basics of SEO. They jumped right into the meat of SEO and I found myself asking questions that were not answered in SEO Basics for Bloggers. If you have SEO Basics in your title, please have an explanatory chapter for all of the SEO jargon. I found the title of this ebook dreadfully deceiving and not in the least bit helpful to me. Yes, I know very little about SEO but that is why I chose to read this ebook – I stupidly thought it might help me on my path through SEO for blogging.

However, those of you who are using WordPress I am sure you will find SEO Basics for Bloggers quite helpful in helping you become better equipped at blogging with a view to your SEO.

SEO Basics For Bloggers – Nightfire Publications

As a relatively new blogger in the blogosphere I was wondering how to get my blog found. I knew that I needed to improve my SEO (search engine optimization) but I didn’t know where to start. When the oportunity to review SEO Basics for Bloggers I jumped at the chance. SEO Basics for Bloggers is a transcript of the roundtable discussion with Blogging ABCs hosts Deborah Carney, Tricia Meyer, Vinny O’Hare and guest Eric Nagel.

This book by Nightfire Publications is a great starting resource for any newbie blogger. It focuses mainly on WordPress but the information is good for any developer. It touches on various aspects of SEO without going to far into the “how to”. The books lets the reader know where to begin looking for the information and touches on keywords, title tags, meta description, permalinks, images, social sharing and sitemaps.

If you are looking for a “how to” book then this isn’t for you, but if you want a book that will help you get a start on optimizing your website for search engines then this would be a valuable resource for you.

Best Practices for Coupon Sites

When I read the title, Best Practices for Coupon Sites, I thought: ooh, I wonder if there’s something in here I don’t know about running a coupon site. I agreed the review this e-book, thinking: hey, if I learn something, great! If I knew everything already, that’s OK, too, but I’ll be able to tell if this book would be good for a new coupon blogger.

Best Practices for Coupon Sites is published by NightFire Publications. It is sold at Amazon.com for Kindle download. According to Amazon, the book is about “Affiliate ABCs hosts Deborah Carney and Vinny O’Hare joined Kim Salvino, Amy Ely, and Jeannine Crooks of buy.at to talk about best practices, tools, and ideas for coupon sites in the affiliate industry.”

What isn’t clear from the description is that this is an (apparently unedited) transcript of a teleconference call. Another thing that isn’t clear from the description is that their definition of a coupon site is different from mine: this book has tips for running an online coupon code site, not a coupon/deal blog. Even from an extended description of the book, it’s hard to tell that this is the focus of the book.

Once I waded through the transcript, I did find some useful information and resources. However, I felt like the information would have been better presented in an edited form where the details and resources were stripped out of the transcript. I would have liked to see some of the quotes from the participants, but I felt like I ended up reading a lot of extra material that did not contribute to my increased knowledge of the topic.
