Keys to Blogging Your Book into Existence

If you’re a writer who has a concept for a book but isn’t quite ready to put pen to paper – or are more techy but aren’t sure how to where to start, “Blog Your Book into Existence,” is ready to answer your questions and guide you to success. Here’s an overview of the 5 keys to blogging your book, how to get started, keep up and ultimately turn your blog into a best selling book —

Be persistent. In order to receive grand results you must keep adding content to your blog. Make sure you blast a post at least 3 – 4 times a week.
Write short teasers. Don’t post all of your content on your blog. Put a few paragraphs on each subject then at the end post a link to pre-order your book. Once the reader is engaged in the information you are providing, capturing them at the moment is crucial to get sales for you book and/or services.
SEO. Make sure to utilize key words to drive traffic to your blog.
Pictures. Always use a photo and bane the image appropriately. I get traffic now from people googling: Bachelor Pad Logo, because I posted it on a blog and named the file right.
Publicize. Hook up all your other social media so your posts are blasted out into the universe. Its difficult keeping up with all social media, but linking them with one click of a button saves you a ton of time.

“Blog Your Book into Existence” goes in depth with each key to set you and your blog up for success! Get your copy today here!

Putting Pen to Paper

Last week Tara Richter was interviewed on Daytime TV! Tara shares how you can write your first book in just 4 weeks by “creating in chaos.” You can get your copy of “Write a Book in 4 Weeks” with all tips and checklists to help you become a bestseller here!

5 Tips to Get Started Writing:

1) Utilize spare time. Waiting in the airport or delayed flights, jot down ideas. On the airplane use iPhone or iPad & blue tooth keyboard to type out your thoughts on the notepad app. It’s easier than using your laptop because it takes up less space.

2) Carry an idea pad. When creativity hits hone in on it & jot them down as soon as they come into mind. You never know when a new idea will pop in. Write it down ASAP, don’t forget them!

3) Start a blog. With your new ideas start a blog & write in the blog 2-3 days a week. After a few months you’ll have enough info to flesh out a rough draft. It’s also a good way to get SEO and start promoting the book with short teasers and by pre-selling with PayPal buttons.

4) Write the first hour of every day. Sit down every morning and write for at least one hour. If you get it done first thing in the morning you won’t let daily activities get in the way or procrastinate. And if you write 715 words a day for 28 days you have 20,020 words which is a 100 page 5×8 book. How you can write a book in 4 weeks!

5) Read more. Read more to get your ideas flowing. Anytime I have a creative block I buy a book about overcoming blocks and read it. Or read something similar to the topic you’re writing about.

How to Check Your Blog Stats

When you’re running a blog it is extremely important to check your stats weekly – even daily on popular blogs! Chapter 4 in “Blog Your Book into Existence” discusses how and why you should check your stats weekly. Today we are going to share a brief overview of the chapter and a quick how-to on checking your blog stats! Are you ready?

Let’s show you where you can find your stats:

Log into you WordPress account
Click “Stats” across the top of the screen
Across the top you will have a blue bar graph showing the number of visits. They parse this out by how many people visited and how many posts they read.

Creating a global presence is so easy with a blog. My dating site receives hits from countries I never knew existed! You can learn a lot from your blog’s stats. If you are just starting out, it will take a while to see results, but don’t get frustrated. It does take time, but persistence is key here.

Awesome tip of the power of blogging: I posted an interview I did with actor Ethan Embry on my blog back in Nov 2013. Wikipedia has now linked to my blog as a point of reference for his entry. I’m right in-between People Magazine & TMZ! That’s the power of blogging and using the correct key terms for search engines. Check that out here!

Goodluck blogging!

Questions To Ask An Editor Before Hiring

Okay, so you’re in the final stages of getting your book ready to be published… but first, you have to edit the hundreds of pages that you’ve already self-edited and read a million times. It’s time for a new set of eyes! Before you hire just anyone, I have some tips you should consider while finding the perfect candidate to handle your baby. Because, after all, your manuscript is like your newborn—still fresh and in need of some molding in order for it to succeed in the world. Here are 7 tips, from my book, “Write a Book in 4 Weeks,” that can guide you through this hire.

1.Vision – After discussing your book, what is their vision of it? Where do they think it should go? Do you both agree on the outcome?

2. Experience – What kind of books have they edited?

3. Education – What is their college degree in? They should be at least studying English, Journalism, or Creative Writing.

3. Software – You need to make sure you bother have the same systems. Otherwise passing documents back and forth will be a nightmare.

5. Non-Disclosure Agreement – Ask them if they are willing to sign a non-disclosure agreement stating they will not distribute or use any ideas, concepts, and so forth from your writings. If they will not sign one, find a new editor.

Job applicants having interview

6. Time Frame – Ensure their schedule alines with when you want the book finished.

7. Age and Gender – This can be a factor. For my Dating Series, a sixty-five year old lady is going to have different opinions on dating versus a twenty-one year old woman. Having an editor that’s your target reader audience is good. Not necessary, but a plus.

For the rest of the tips and more in-depth explanations of these questions – get your copy of “Write a Book in 4 Weeks” here!

Write & Publish a Book Yourself Step #8: Kindle

Now that you have a paperback book, you can upload it on Kindle. If you’re not familiar with Kindle, it is a digital device that you can download multiple books and magazines to. You have to have an Amazon account in order to purchase books to download, however you do not need a Kindle device. They have an app on the iPhone and most smartphones and tablets to use.

Having your book on Amazon Kindle is just another way to distribute your book to as many people as possible. People are divided between which method they prefer to read their information. I personally prefer to have a real book in my hand, to flip through it and be able to autograph it. Others prefer digital. It is convenient because you can hold hundreds of books in one small, compact gadget. Having your book in both formats is important.

In order to publish a book on Kindle you do need to have an Amazon account. If you already do, you can log in with those same credentials. If you don’t have an account you will need to sign up for one. In this chapter of my book, How to Write and Publish a Book Yourself, I will walk you through how to do this as well as:

The KDP Select Program (to reach more readers and customers)
Book’s Copyright and Publishing Rights
Uploading Your Cover
Selecting a Digital Rights Management (DRM) (to inhibit unauthorized distribution of the Kindle book)

Write & Publish a Book Yourself: Step #5 Creating the Cover

Now that your manuscript is finished, you need to design a cover to showcase your book. This is the part that will sell the great content inside. They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. Well, neither does your novel.

Designing Your Book Cover

If you do not have any design skills, this may be one of the more difficult steps of publishing your own book. Just remember that less is more. You do not need a really fancy cover to get someone’s attention; it should be simple and bold.

A tip from a graphic designer (my college degree): every now and then during the process, get up from your computer and walk across the room to view your design. How does it look? Sometimes we get caught up being so close to it that we forget to look at it from another perspective. Think of the books that you have purchased in the past. What did you like about the cover or didn’t like? Mimic the design that compelled you to buy a book. I personally like to place my professional photos on the front or back of my books because I’m branding myself. It also gives a human touch to my advice so others can relate to me. Deciding if you want your photo on the cover depends on the kind of book you’re writing. If the story is about depression, you wouldn’t want a bright-eyed, smiling face on the front. Make sure the images accurately portray the content.

Using Photoshop for Book Covers

Since I am a graphic designer, I do have an extra talent that allows me to design my own book covers. Nonetheless, you can do it too. I have used Photoshop and Illustrator on my first three books. Photoshop is the best tool to use because you need layers and to know the resolution of your images. As I spoke about in the last chapter, you want a minimum 300 DPI (dots per inch) for printing purposes.

In my book I will walk you through the step by step tutorial of creating your book’s cover using Photoshop (for free…even if you don’t have Photoshop or have never used it before!) and uploading it to CreateSpace: How to Write and Publish a Book Yourself.
