As part of this blog’s new focus, this is the first of a series of posts I’m going to publish during January based upon interviews I conducted at BlogWorld & New Media Expo in Los Angeles, CA, in early November 2011. While there I had the opportunity to speak with Chris Garrett, Darren Rowse, Liz […]
New Year, New Look, New Goals

What NOT to Do When You Book a Blog
I highly recommend repurposing, or recycling your blog posts into a book. However, you can’t just slap you posts together and say, “Done!” Just this morning I was reading an announcement about a booked blog, one that was repurposed into a book, and thinking, “Wow. This guy has it all wrong.” The blogger and author, […]
Turn a Series of Blog Posts into a Short Book
I often teach a workshop called “How to Write a (Short) Book Fast.” As part of this workshop, I discussing booking a series of blog posts, which means repurposing 10 or 15 posts you’ve written in succession on the same topic. I did this with my book, 10 Days and 10 Ways to Your Best […]
How to Maintain Passion, Purpose and Inspiration while Blogging a Book
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 […]

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 […]

So, what better time to blog your book? I’ve got several people signed-in over at WNFIN who are, indeed, blogging their books. Why not go over, sign in, and do […]
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 […]
