Creating Your Own eBook: How To Guide: Part 1
"Hi Heather thanks for your question, I left a response to the question also on my blog. Naturally it would be a good idea to consider creating an ebook on the same topic as your blog, if your blog discusses things related to 'blogging' I'm sure you'll agree it will have many topics related to it, social media would be one of them, so I think choosing one of those topics would be perfectly OK, even if it's an extension of it. I also believe that it's better to choose a small area of a specific topic that you can really work on rather than try and create something that tries to solve too many problems. So for example instead of writing an ebook 'using social media to drive traffic to your blog' and looking at social media as a whole, you could write something like, 'how to optimize your Facebook ads to drive targeted traffic to your blog's lead capture page'. it's more specific. What ever anyone decides to do with creating an ebook, here's the most important bit. It really doesn't matter whether you choose to create an ebook primarily on the same topic as your blog, or an extension of the subjects discussed, (as long as it's not completely unrelated and off topic), just as long as your audience can relate to it, and you believe it will provide them with immense value, in other words it's something that will help them solve a problem or a small number of problems, and reinforce their trust in you evermore. In short, the example you used in your comment is perfectly OK. Hope this helps answers some questions."What Social Networks Should You Use to Promote Your Business or Blog?
"Great post and infographic, I guess it comes to learning and understanding where your target audience is as you rightly mentioned in your post. If they're spending a lot of their time on Facebook, that's where you need to be looking. If it's LinkedIn then you need to be promoting stuff on LinkedIn. Thanks for sharing :)"5 Unmistakeable Reasons Why Blogging Is A Viable Business Venture
"Hi Val glad and Tcamba glad you both agree that blogging is effectively a business. Tcamba I couldn't agree with you more, it's extremely hard work and persistence is key at the end of the day. Val yes there are more people getting into blogging for the first time, I guess the more newbies there are the more chances we have at educating them and guiding them on the right paths to success, assuming we have found success ourselves. Have a great day guys :)"Starting Over After Google Penguin Destroyed My Online Businesses
"Thanks Heather, you're welcome. When you think about it really, owning a business online isn't really your own, it's Google's, it's almost like you own it but they can decide the cause that takes the business away quite literally if that makes sense lol."« previous12 next »
