Looking for the best books about blogging to enable you to drive more traffic, build an engaging list, and make more money? Well, I got you.
My Blogging Traffic advice?
Focus on things that work, then double down on them.
If you’ve noticed, The PennyMatters doesn’t have much presence on Facebook pages or even Twitter.
This is because these platforms aren’t doing well for us at the moment.
Our plan is to rethink our engagement strategies in these posts, once we have an established marketing team.
However, you will find me on Pinterest and Facebook groups, where I keep sharing tips and getting ideas from others.
Adding to the mix right now, are Quora and Instagram.
These platforms work very well for PennyMatters at the moment, so we are laser-focusing on them right now.
For your case, Twitter and IG, or even TikTok might be the best platforms. Stick with them.
10 Books about Blogging to Help Boost Your Blog Traffic
If you want to learn actionable strategies for growing your traffic, then I recommend you check out these three books.
1) Blog Traffic Secret Sauce
This is a 180+ page eBook that will teach you everything you need to turn your blog from a hobby into a flourishing business. Even if you are a new blogger, you do not have to wait a year before you start earning from it. In fact, these are the strategies that Angela used to take her blog from 0 to 18000 page views within 3 months!
She breaks down every strategy that she used to turn her blog into a full-time business:
- How to write SEO-friendly and user-engaging content that gets you noticed.
- A breakdown into Google Analytics (this used to intimidate me at first)
- Networking tips: guest blogging and link building strategies
- Pinterest hacks: How to design viral pins
- How to attract blog traffic that actually converts
Besides the Skyrocketing Your Blog Traffic book, you will also get access to three amazing bonuses when you get your copy today
The main idea behind growing your blog traffic is to be able to convert them and sustain your blogging business. If you are getting traffic visitors who don’t buy from you, then you may want to rethink how you attract those traffic.
2) Boosting Blog Traffic
This is a 100+ pages eBook that outlines actionable blog traffic tips and strategies that many bloggers have used to grow their blogs exponentially.
I grabbed this book earlier this year and am now implementing some of the tips gradually.
If you’ve ever wanted to:
- get over 20000 pageviews a month
- leverage your existing audience so they can promote your blog for free
- hack your SEO strategy so you can rank faster
- have a checklist of 100 places to promote your blog
- Have an actionable social media strategy or even
- Master Pinterest traffic in a few pages?
Then this book is for you.
Now my tip: Build an email list. These strategies will help bring people to your website, but they won’t help make them stay, or remember to come back the next day, so they can come back to read more of your posts and even purchase your products and services.
This is what an email list does. I will be sharing more with you about list building in my next book coming next week, so be sure to open my email, as you always do.
3) The Ultimate Guide to Creating Evergreen Sales Funnels
I just had to feature another book by Angela of Straycurls. She is the master of making money from a small blog, and what enables her to make $5000 a month from her blog are the strategies that she shares in this new book.
4) Making Pinterest Possible
We’ve started seeing growth on our Pinterest account, and this is the platform we are currently focusing on, apart from Google SEO. We now have over 200K monthly audience and 4400 followers.
Making Pinterest possible will introduce you to everything that you need to know about smart pinning, Pinterest SEO, and crafting pinnacle images.
In my next post, I talk about a number of things that content creators should be doing right now. This is a super long post, and one of the items on the list is actually, ticking that ‘always wanna take it seriously’ item off your list.
Most bloggers I know, always have this ‘wanna take it seriously’ thing, and for the majority, it’s always Pinterest. You’ve always had a Pinterest marketing strategy in your mind, and hoping to start taking it seriously, one day.
That was me, haha, for over 2 years, but last month, I became relentless about Pinterest, and I’m already seeing some results.

5) Get Paid to Pin
If you love Pinterest and use it to drive tons of traffic to your website while scheduling pins using Tailwind, then this book is for you. You can easily monetize this traffic using Affiliate marketing and earn income online.
Dale of Blogging Her Way shows you exactly how you can combine affiliate marketing and smart pinning so that you can make money online. She also shares her pinning strategy that works for her and that you can try for your own blog.
6) Amazon Affiliate Influence
If your blog involves product reviews and recommendations, then Amazon associates is the best affiliate program to monetize your blog.
However, cracking the Amazon affiliate is not easy. Most bloggers quit the program after earning $2.54. With the right strategy, you can actually earn $500 from Amazon.
But first, you need to know:
- What products to promote and why
- What blog posts you need to be creating that convert really well.
- Effective product linking strategies
Dale, through her Amazon Affiliate Influence, explores these strategies and more.
