Courtney does a great job of laying out the basics. The ebook is set up nicely and is easy to read.  She explains the terms used (blog, platform, web host and domain name) and the steps necessary to start and maintain a Christian Review Blog. Courtney gives ideas of where to find the products to review (from starting with the products in our house, to joining a network, to contacting the company directly).  Courtney then explains who to write a review and how to promote it.  Additional resources and a check list are included.

My thoughts:

Where was this book a year ago!?  It would have been so helpful when I was interested in getting started last year.  The information is well formatted and easy to follow. After a couple of years of entering lots of sweepstakes (winning a few), I settled on blog sweeps about 2 years ago. After entering (and winning) quite a few, I started wondering how people got started getting free stuff to review and giveaway.  I asked a few people, but nobody gave me much advice.  I have learned as I've gone, and now I do quite a few reviews (sometimes too many!)  But it was a slow process.  I posted my first review in November after joining MomSelect (a network for Mom bloggers).  That month, I got the courage to e-mail an author and ask to review her book Kissing and Cooking. I was surprised when she agreed to send me a copy.

Start a Christian Review Blog would be a great resource for anyone interesting in getting started writing a review blog.
