I am a huge reader and one of the things that I use my Online Profits for is cleaning out my Amazon Wish List.  Now I have a number of new books that I am going to have to add to the list.  ChrisG has written a post on ProBlogger called “5 Influential Books All Bloggers Should Know“.

This is a relatively old post, but I was going through my starred feeds and noticed it again.

There are a number of them that I have not heard of before, but there are a few books that I would definitely add to the list would be:

ProBlogger

I understand why he didn’t (Chris authored the book with Darren) but it is an amazing book for the beginner blogger, and a great resource for the blogger who has been around.  The chapters on “Blog Writing” and “Blog Promotion” were very useful to me.

The Dip

Seth Godin writes great books on marketing, and the Dip is great.  It is all about teaching when to quit and when you persevere.  I hear a lot of people saying that you should get the audio, but come on it is not that long.  I find that if you read it once, you will understand it better than listening to it 3 or 4 times.

And finally The Four Hour Work Week

This book by Tim Ferris is great, and like Chris mentions when talking about E-Myth is great for teaching what you can do to give yourself more time by having others do your tasks.  Like many I was fooled by the title, there is a lot of work to do before you can create a reasonable income only working 4 hours a week, but the book tells you how and makes you excited to get out there and try.

Is there any books that Chris or I missed that you think should be on the short list of every blogger or small business owners wish list?
