In January I've beggin build a blog and mainly to learn about blogging, in the time when my blog is growing. I've tried to update the blog at 2-3 days, but I am getting very busy, so not much free time.

But here it is : Money Making Book Blog

I've tried at first place to make a revies blog, then I decided to explain thinks about different things..

As I am a beginner, i am aware of the fact that i've made a LOT of mistakes, now I am waiting for your oppinions and reviews.

Thank you.

Your blog generally seems fine. I didn't read through your posts, but I did scan a few and in general things seem pretty good.

If you're serious about the site being a business and making money I'd move it off Blogger and set it up on your own hosting account. Personally I like WordPress, but there are other blogging applications you can use.

I'm not sure if you've defined your market well. While most of your posts seem to be about making money online and internet marketing your tagline makes it seem like How To do anything is open game. I'm not sure the same person who's interested in internet marketing will also be interested in bicycle repair. I realize you don't currently have posts about bicycle repair, but a quick glance doesn't make it obvious that post won't find it's way in. Maybe change the tagline so people can get a better feel for what your content will be without having to read a post.

Don't worry too much about posting several times a day. Quality is more important than quantity. A news blog needs to update frequently. A How To blog could update once a week and be fine. I'm not saying you should only publish once a week. It's up to you how often you post. Just don't feel like you have to post several times a day. Some of my favorite blogs might only post a couple times a month. I'm subscribed to some that haven't posted in months, but I continue to subscribe because I feel confident when the next post is published it will be worth my timeto read it.

Hope that helps.

first of all, I think you're topic of "how-to" is way to broad. Narrow it down to how to do one thing (or one subject of things).

I'd also get a more attractive header and block sexual ads--it's a turn off for readers who want serious content. It makes the site look cheap.
