From Ebook To Print Book: Five Pitfalls

Has anyone else noticed a trend of books, both self-published and from commercial publishers, that were originally ebooks and have not completely shaken the unfortunate signs of their origin?
1.Since ebooks can be sold easily at 80-100 pages, but print books cannot, the book version gains length through appendices that take up one-third of the page count. Sometimes the appendices are quite tangential to the main topic, and other times they contain golden information that should have been better integrated with the main content. There’s also padding evident within the book, especially a lot of large illustrations, cartoons or Powerpoint slides that add little to the reader’s learning experience. Read more

Small Business Blogging Blueprint e-book

I’d like to create a business blog, but I don’t know where to start.”
“I don’t have the technical skills to build a blog.”
“I have a business blog, but it doesn’t get any traffic!”

Sound familiar? As an online marketing consultant, I’ve heard countless versions of these statements. Each week I meet more small business owners who want to start a business blog, but something gets in their way:
• Lack of time
• Lack of technical expertise
• Lack of a plan

I, too, struggled with these problems when starting my first business blog in 2007. I had to focus not just on blog creation and maintenance, but on generating targeted traffic, capturing leads and making sales … all within the unique blog format.

I read every blog book I could get my hands on. But most were outdated, and none addressed how blogging could grow my business. So I spent two long years in trial and error, testing out one technique and abandoning it for another until I discovered exactly what worked.

(And let me tell you: you’d be amazed by all the blogging advice that’s just plain wrong. Hiding keywords at the bottom of every page, for example – while that may have gotten you search traffic in 1997, it could get you blacklisted from Google today.)

As my blog’s popularity grew, people began asking me:
 What blogging software should I use?
 How do I customize my blog design without spending a fortune?
 How do I integrate a new blog with my existing web site?
 How can I get more traffic, and how do I turn that traffic into sales?

I started wishing I had a book with all the answers – a step-by-step guide to successful business blogging, so I wouldn’t have to keep responding to the same questions.

Then, after spending yet another afternoon talking with a small business owner about the benefits of blogging, I realized I needed to hurry up and write it myself.

What I thought would be a three- or four-page report eventually turned into a 68-page e-book filled with:
• Tips on outsourcing the writing, design and setup affordably (pg. 14—15)
• Easy search engine optimization strategies for targeted blog traffic (pg. 27—30)
• Ways you can use your business blog to grow your mailing list (pg. 31—32)
• A fill-in-the-blank workbook with 36 questions to help you set goals, avoid problems and streamline the blogging process (pg. 61—68)

But following written instructions can be confusing, you may be thinking. I know. That’s why I also created six step-by-step videos to help you set up a hosted blog on WordPress and Blogger. You even get written transcripts of each video, so you don’t have to take notes.

Each time I thought I was done writing, I remembered one more tip or resource that would further simplify blogging for small business owners. Then I sent the e-book to friends and colleagues, who wrote back with more helpful tips and resources of their own.

I also sent out several review copies of the e-book. Here’s what readers had to say:

“The Small Business Blogging Blueprint is a mega-hit! I just finished your e-book and am quite impressed. I’ve been referencing “The New Rules of Marketing & PR” by David Meerman Scott as my blogging bible. Your book is easier to understand. I especially liked your step-by-step guides and links throughout.”
—Mark Zinda, Owner of ZAP and Co. Marketing

“Kelly has put together a comprehensive resource that’s also super easy for anyone to follow. If you’re thinking of starting a blog – or even if you already have one – this guide will steer you clear of common blunders and help set you up for blogging success.”
—Lisa Banks, Marketing Director at SEO Advantage

“You’ve done an amazing job pulling this all together. I think it is presented very comprehensively, yet the info is manageable. You get the sense of being able to pull it off because things are presented in such a clear, step-by-step fashion – almost like a workbook. There’s so many resources presented that can help any blogger.”
—Lori Baer, freelance writer and blogger
