Blogging is beyond the throes of achieving mainstream acceptance. Columnists have blogs. Media institutions like the New York Times have blogs. Bloggers have blogs about making blogs. But, if you can imagine back to 2008, the path to business sustainability was uncharted and daunting. In came the Huffington Post to save the day. In a 101-level manual, the 225 page guide outlines how to get started, get noticed, and build a community. Unfortunately, the information baked into this book has become so ubiquitous that almost all this information can be found for free elsewhere. Sites like Smart Passive Income that are dedicated to explaining blogging give most of this away for free. The only residual value is the history of the Huffington Post, which I probably wouldn’t have been bothered to read otherwise. Who should read this; Folks interested in the history of the Huffington Post, or those who don’t like reading blogs. Major lesson learned; It is a completely different era of the internet and what worked in 2006 will not be enough in 2016. Interesting tidbit; I strongly considered deleting this whole post because it was too meta. I literally just wrote a blog post, that is a book review, of a book, written by a blog, about starting a blog. I think I’m gonna go lick some concrete. Don’t buy it.

Lewis Howes has officially entered the arena of “mainstream” podcast stars. The former arena football player and team handball star reached the NYT bestseller list with his breakout book.
How did it do so well? Lewis promoted the shit out of it. He shamelessly went from show to show, sharing his product with every audience he could reach. The book is a pretty average self-help book that will definitely impact some lives. But the biggest lesson you can take from this book is that hustle trumps talent. There are plenty of writers better than Lewis Howes out there, but they aren’t reaching #2 on the NYT bestseller list. He got there through tremendous networking, diligent content production, and relentless salesmanship. Kudos. Who should read this; Anyone stuck in a rut, particularly in business. Most of Howes’ advice focuses on the steps to rise from the ashes and redefine your path after you fall. Major lesson learned; Email lists and audiences sell product. Interesting tidbit; Howes’s brother Chris is a famous jazz violinist. Buy it here and you’ll support the blog!
