Blog Posts Help Speed Book Update
Des Walsh
If you are on a few “blog guru” mailing lists you will have seen promotions for courses on how to use your blog to create a book.
Today I used that thinking to save myself some unnecessary extra work and help me meet a deadline. Not that I created a book out of a blog. Rather, I was able to update a whole section of a book, without having to re-research the content and re-write the whole section.
The book is my 7 Step Business Blog. The section in question was about feed (RSS) readers.
I’d been vacillating about doing an update or new edition of the book. It was about a year in the making, off and on, and was originally published a couple of years ago. So much has changed, I was thinking that maybe I should re-cast the book completely and had even started to work on a new framework. But that had started to look like a whole new book and I did not believe I could fit that in before my imminent trip to China and then shortly after to the USA.
