How To Make Money With Your Blog has been featured in www.theworkathomewoman.com‘s 50 Best Business Books for Women list out today!

I found a reference to this project on a recent HARO email (Help A Reporter Out) – if you’ve ever debated the value of signing up for this service, stop debating and sign up. It’s simply a great resource for finding excellent ways to gain exposure for a variety of projects. But I digress…

Holly’s article is meant to be a solid resource women in business can turn to in the quest to get ahead across a variety of areas of business. Even those trying to get back into business will find worthwhile titles in this list. Cribbed directly from the blog post, here are a few of the titles that made the cut:

YOU, Inc. The Art of Selling Yourself, which I co-authored with my husband, Harry Beckwith. I wrote the book with women in mind, that so often women sell themselves short, or are afraid of patting themselves on the back. This book provides the tools to overcome fear, objections, and obstacles, and points women in the right direction to sell what it is that everyone buys: YOU.

BRAG: The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without blowing It by Peggy Klaus. I think women more than men, have a tough time â€œboastingâ€ about their successes. This book shows how to do that with authenticity.

Undress For Success: The Naked Truth About Making Money at Home by Kate Lister. Unlike the many â€œchange-your-lifeâ€ books that promise much and deliver littleâ€”Undress4Success provides expert, practical advice about: 1) what home-based jobs are available, what talents they require, what they pay, whoâ€™s hiring, and how to land one; 2) how to use the Web to search for work-at-home jobs and business opportunities without being scammed; 3) how to turn professional talents into a freelance business; and 4) how to convince an employer to adopt a telecommuting program.

Be Our Guest: Perfecting the Art of Customer Service, The Disney Institute. Be Our Guest (or â€œBOGâ€ as we affectionately call it) communicates the power of operational excellence. The BOG helps convey the need for everyone to work collaboratively and to develop common service standards to achieve the greatest results, which then also ensures public support.

Those are in no order, and the rest of the list is at the website, so head on over and give the list a look-over. There are some great titles in there for everyone, covering a range of topics from tax prep to marketing. An excellent resource.
