I advocate for planning out your blogged book’s content and creating a manuscript while you blog by sticking to that content plan. However, blogging should be an organic and creative process even if you are blogging a book. So allow yourself some freedom with your blogged book. No one is telling you how to write […]
Winning Contests Gives Your Blog More Exposure
It’s difficult for most of us to toot our own horn. Yet, if we want our blog and our blogged book to get read (attract more readers), sometimes doing so becomes necessary. We also have to learn to ask others to help toot our horn. Especially because when others get involved, the music gets louder […]
2011 May Exceed 2009 Blog-to-Book Deal Numbers
You may be bored with these posts, but I’m not. Today I started jumping up and down in my office when I discovered yet one more blog released as a book in October. Why? That brings the number of blog-to-books released by traditional publishers in October that I know about–there likely are more–to 6. That […]

10 Ways to Create Posts Without Worry About SEO and Keywords
I coach lots of bloggers and writers who would like to (1) start blogging, (2) develop better blogs or (3) blog a book to make sure they get discovered by a literary agent or publisher. In each of these cases they inevitably inquire how to search engine optimize (SEO) their blog and employ keywords for […]
Learn How to Blog Your Way to a Book Deal
If you can write, you can blog. That means you can blog your way to a book deal. You can blog a book, and write and publish your work one post at a time in cyberspace while also promoting it so you get “discovered.” Agents and acquisition editors continue to troll the Internet looking for […]
Blog-to-Book Releases This Month Officially at 2009 Numbers
My last post said projected that the number of blog-to-book releases were almost at the same rates as in 2009, the so-called height of the blog-to-book craze — about 48 per year. Well, I am happy to say that as of today, I can officially say that this month’s numbers (from what I know) bring […]
Current Rate of Blog-to-Book Deals Reaching Past Heights
In my last post, I discussed the fact that many blogs are still getting turned into books–enough to constitute a continued trend, despite what some industry experts have claimed. In fact, I discovered that the figures for blog-to-book releases in October 2011 alone, at least from what I can tell, are equivalent to the height […]
Get in on the Current Blog-to-Book Trend
No one has offered new statistics on blog-to-book deals since about 2009. In that year alone, between 50 and 60 bloggers landed traditional publishing deals. Supposedly, that was the height of the blog-to-book trend. Yet, a consistent stream of blog-to-book deals has hit the market since then, and recently I’ve heard news of even more […]
15 Unique Ways to Blog a Book
I recently received an email from one of my blog readers, Peter G. James Sinclair, who told me about his blogged book. Actually, he’s not just blogging any old fiction or nonfiction book.
