Creating Your Blog: You Need Pages

Before you begin writing your blogged book, I suggest you take a little time to create some additional pages on your blog. This is especially important if you plan to use your blog as your website; in other words, if you don’t have your blog hosted on a website and it serves as your website, […]

Creating Your Blog: Installing Analytics

Once you’ve got your blog set up, you can choose from all sorts of fancy and not-so-fancy “widgets” and “plugins.” They add tools and features to your blog, like search boxes, archives, search engine optimization features, and ways to “ping” your posts to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Stumble Upon, and such. You can […]

Creating Your Blog: Purchase a Domain Name

You should purchase a domain name for your blog whether or not you plan on having a hosted blog. Should you convert from a free blog to a hosted one, you’ll need it. And if you begin with a hosted blog, obviously, you’ll need it. Purchase the same domain name as the title of your […]

Creating Your Blog: Hosted or Self-Hosted, That’s the Question

You’re ready to begin writing and publishing the contents of your book on the Internet. First, you must create a website where your book will “live.” Don’t worry. You don’t need an actual website. All you need is a blog. Blogs serve as actual websites. Better yet, they are free and easy. A blog functions […]

Planning Your Posts or Screen-Sized Content

At this point in the planning process, you know what your book is about and you’ve outlined its features and benefits. You know who is going to read it and in which what markets you will promote it. You know the competition and how to differentiate your blogged book from other blogs and books on […]

Creating a Platform for You and Your Book

The publishing world has changed dramatically over the last decade. No longer can you simply present an agent or a publisher with a good idea and good writing and expect to get a contract in return. You must prove that you already have people ready and waiting to purchase your book as soon as it […]

Are You on a Mission?

I’d just like to mention today that if you are writing a proposal, you want to include a mission statement after your author’s bio. You’ve already worked on that. Remember this post? Not every book on writing a book proposal includes the “Mission Statement” section; in fact, most don’t. It’s a fairly new section. However, […]

Why You Are the Best Person to Write Your Book

Are you the type of writer who feels sure you possess the expertise to write your book or are you the type of writer who questions whether you are good enough to do so? Do you know you are the best person to author the book you have in mind, or do you wonder if […]

What Do You Need to Complete Your Book?

As you get closer to beginning to blog your book, consider this question: What resources do you need to complete your book? The answer to this question completes the section of a book proposal actually called “Resources Needed to Complete the Book.” This section may not pertain to many blogged books. You, the blogger, may […]

Know Your Competition to Angle for Success

Picking up where I left off, you now need to take long hard look at any other blogs that might compete with your blogged book. You do this to ensure not that you are the only one blogging on your topic but that you are blogging on the topic from a unique angle. You want […]
