If you’ve ever wanted to start an anime blog—or you have one, but you’re not sure how to take it to the next level—this book is for you.
Starting a blog can be the first step to changing your life. The way anime blogging in particular could change your life might look a little like this
• Turn anime-viewing from an individual hobby to a platform where you share your passions with an audience just as interested as you are;
• Score review copies from publishers, watch shows first, and have your voice and your opinion on a show matter;
• Make friends with other bloggers and commenters on your blog, whom you can chat with on Twitter and hang out with at conventions;
• Make a side income from advertising or affiliate programs while expressing yourself in a way that doesn’t feel like work;
• Create a springboard for other opportunities in the anime industry.
In this book, you'll learn tips from me and the writers behind twelve other anime and manga blogs to propel you toward anime blogging success.
Build Your Anime Blog How to Get Started Stand Out and Make Money Writing About What You Love eBook Lauren Orsini
This book is half advice about starting and running your own anime blog, and half interviews with individual anime bloggers. I'm not an anime blogger myself (though I've published a couple of anime-related posts on my own blog), so I'm not really in the target audience for this; however I did find it interesting and worth reading, and even worth paying $5.99 to encourage Lauren Orsini to write more.I was most interested in the blogger interviews, especially as I regularly read the blogs of many of the people interviewed. The main lesson from the interviews seems to be, don't expect to make a living being an anime blogger--at most you'll earn enough to pay for your hosting costs, and maybe if you're lucky you'll find yourself in a position to be offered other opportunities, like working for Crunchyroll or writing for Anime News Network. Regarding the general advice in the first half of the book, a lot of it was relatively generic (like choosing a blogging platform). I would haved like to have seen more advice specific to anime blogging in particular, for example, how to write interesting and readable anime reviews. But the book does have lots of outbound links to other resources (a good thing), and some of those might be useful in this regard.

Build Your Anime Blog How to Get Started Stand Out and Make Money Writing About What You Love eBook Lauren Orsini Reviews
Loved the interviews. Some of the bloggers seemed unfamiliar to me, but when I visited their sites I found out that I've already read their writing! Even if the interviewees didn't give advice (but of course they did), them talking about anime and aniblogging could be motivational just as well.
So yes I took notes, spent days finding and customizing themes between Blogger and Tumblr (finally decided on the latter), then spent a few more trying to come up with my first blog entry. And I've posted it literally just before adding this review.
“Build Your Anime Blog” is presented logically, first with an introduction that serves to detail Lauren’s own beginnings as an anime blogger that is filled with anecdotes about what it was like to start out in fandom and then progressing to how she began her own blog in Otaku Journalist.
The first part of the book is regimented into specific topics, such as starting an anime blog, growing an audience, promotion and making money, while the core of the book after the detailed and lengthy how-to section is a series of transcribed interviews with selected bloggers that touch on the topics brought up in the how-to section found earlier in the book.
This is actually where the book shines, because the bloggers she chose to interview cover a broad spectrum of blogging styles and habits, where no one blogger is identical, and each goes into detail about what works for them in terms of posting frequency, planning, even formats. I usually skip interviews because I rarely find them useful, let alone entertaining, but these interviews did a good job spotlighting how the chosen subjects handle blogging about anime throughout their respective lives.
I’d easily recommend the book to younger anime fans looking to start their own anime blog, but I would be less likely to recommend the book to older anime fans, unless they’re looking for a one-stop resource on how to start an anime blog, in which case it would be the first and (so far) the only book I’d suggest."

As an experienced blogger, anime enthusiast, and veteran writer, Lauren really knows her stuff. Her personal insights alone in the first part of this book, which is chock full of by helpful links, excellent sample posts, and valuable examples, are well worth the price of admission here. The massive block of interviews from other expert bloggers in the anime niche in the second half of the book also adds a ton of additional value and perspective. Great read!
I bought this book just for the review with Scamp from Cart Driver, as I didn't know the author or other interviewed bloggers at the time. It was also cheap, comparable to one manga volume, so I thought "why not?"
Since I already have an anime blog and it is not in English I thought that I won't learn anything very useful, but for some reason I didn't rush to the review with Scamp to read only that. And it was a good choice.
The author's style is very light and enjoyable to read. For the interviewees it varies, but the whole book was a pleasure to read. I even read and liked the part about Wordpress, which really doesn't interest me, as I like and want to stay on Blogger.
I also actually learned much more than I expected. Since the views of all the interviewed people vary, I don't plan on following all of their advice, but it certainly gave me a good perspective, and huge inspiration - for topics, approach, organising work and the general attitude. Thanks to this book I got back to blogging kinda regularly and have much more plans.
Thank you for the inspiration and an enjoyable read!
If you are running a anime blog (or thinking of starting one), this book needs to be in your collection. Otaku Journalist & anime veteran Lauren Orsini gives a detailed introduction guide to anime blogging, and from the experiences of running Otaku Journalist [...] to the testimony of other anime bloggers. As a anime fan myself (and working on starting my own blog), I can definitely recommend this book. It address the questions you will have about aniblogging.
Some of these questions could be like "what is a anime blog?", "how to start a anime blog?", "how do I make my unique?", or even "are there anime bloggers who share the same faith that I do?" These questions (and more) are answered in Lauren's book. Buying "Build Your Anime Blog" will be a investment that will reap benefits to you as you start your own anime blog.
