Book Review: Blogging for Gold by Anuj Tikku

Blogging for Gold by Anuj Tikku is an e-book in which you will get A to Z knowledge about blogging. Though the main aspect of this book is to dole out blogging knowledge to new or aspiring bloggers, however Anuj has also brought in social media, self-publishing, writing a book, and many other helpful topics with commendable confidence. As the title goes, ‘Blogging for Gold’, he means to say that blogging means digging gold but only a handful of people knows that to get gold one has to work hard while having a good amount of patience. Blogging can give you money and fame and an office-free life, but the route to that glory isn’t that easy you might have thought-out.

Anuj Tikku hails from Bollywood, in fact a popular face, and apart from this, he is also a prolific travel blogger for over two years with his blog: www.tikkustravelthon.in. Inquisitive enough, you can Google him. From a travel blogger’s point of view, this e-book is a treasure trove, Anuj has shared about his work and difficulties in life that he faced while blogging. He is so creative person that he didn’t shy away from comparing blogging with Mahabharata’s characters, and also related it with Sun Tzu.

How to write, how to promote, how to choose a niche, and all things that matters most in shaping a blogger’s career, are presented well in the book with lucid and easy to understand language. The book has sixty short chapters; it means you can refer any chapter in the times of guidance. It could have been better if the author has segmented the content of the book into parts like, blogging tips, social media, self-publishing and writing and so on.

For us, some of the aspects were totally new and sounded interesting such as Gated content, Blogger’s block, Soul blogging, Facedope, and Vanity publishing. Tikku’s blogging experience stretches over two years, but the way he has written this book may push you to think as he is there for ages. Easy to read and understand, we wouldn’t hesitate to put that this book can act as a timely rescue for bloggers who often remain confused and start blogging on any niche. Like other careers, blogging does require all the necessary parameters. In the end, read this book, learn new things, and happy blogging.
