Among more than 102,000,000 blogs that are currently on the internet, there are only a small, select few that manage to stand out as ground breaking, successful or influential against the backdrop of so many others. This book focuses on thirty blogging heroes, touching on everything from parenting to the current business trends. These thirty bloggers have been written about in magazines like Popular Science and Wired, and they have been featured on 20/20, CNN, MSNBC and NPR. These innovative and creative thinkers are now being featured in this book following one on one interview conversations with Michael A. Banks, allowing them to share their philosophies and their tactics, what drives them, how they find subjects to write about, and their personal secrets for attaining success in the blogosphere.

The thirty bloggers that are interviewed in this book have gained a loyal following over time and through experience that continues to grow even to this day. They write about a wide variety of topics and reach out to an endless number of different markets. These are bloggers who are doing it right, because they are passionate about the subjects on which they write, and they are even more passionate about simply being passionate. These are thirty of the most successful bloggers in the nation, and they have come together to share their stories, and to share their secrets in their own words.
