If you have been blogging about your niche topic for any period of time, you more than likely have enough information to write an eBook. But think about it another way and you can literally blog your eBook. This is done regularly by people in every niche imaginable, and you can do the exact ame thing.
Set up a new blog to talk specifically about your topic. Create a category that will correspond to each chapter of your eBook. Post to your blog as often as possible, making sure to put each post into the category where it will end up in your eBook. Pour out all of your information over the next month or so.
When you are ready to create your eBook simply click on the category and you will see all of the posts that belong in that chapter. Copy and paste them into your word processing document, chapter by chapter, and your eBook will be filled with your valuable information. Add an introduction and a resource section at the end and it will be complete.
You may wonder why someone would purchase information that you have already given away for free on your blog. It is for the same reason that we will purchase a paperback book that we already own in hardback, or will purchase an eBook on a topic that we could research on the internet for free – to save time and to have all of the information together in one place.
Another benefit to blogging your eBook is that you will have been able to collect the names and email addresses of those visiting your blog during the time you were writing it. These people are good prospects to purchase your information, because they have already show an interest in your niche topic.
Connie! What a great idea! It’s so obvious, now that I read about it, but I never thought of it before! Thanks!!!! Keep up the great content!
If you use a blog to create your e-book, then it seams much more attainable that way, and people are more willing to write the book when faced with writing blog posts because people feel like writing blog posts aren’t like writing e-book chapters and such.
For some strange reason, creating a book through a blog makes the process easier on most people because for one, they’re not faced with a totally blank screen, and secondly, just writing short blog posts seams to be a reachable goal than just sitting down and writing out book chapters in a word processor and such.
So the blogging thing seams to be the best approach when writing an e-book for most people simply because things can be done in bite sized chunks rather than in larger chunks.
So if you haven’t yet created a blog, then take the suggestion that was mentioned inside the post of creating a blog for the speciffic purpose of writing an e-book and go from there.
Excellent ideas here, Donald. Thanks so much for stopping by.
