Also, publishing your blog as an eBook allows book readers to interact with the author, which is something most readers want to do. Do you have a question about something the author said? Go to his blog and ask him! It’s genius.<\/p>\n

I recently read Keep Your Greek by Constantine Campbell<\/a>, and I found the format refreshing and simple. Why? Because it follows a blog post format. This makes sense, because before this was a book, it was a series of blog posts. The chapters are short, and are broken up into 300-500 word divisions.<\/p>\n

At the end of the chapter, he includes comments from his blog.<\/p>\n

I love that if I have a question about a chapter in his book, I can go to his blog, and ask him. Yes, I can interact with the author himself. That is awesome.<\/p>\n

This becomes even easier with ebooks as you can actually include links in your ebooks back to your blog posts. Double awesome.<\/p>\n

Do you want to write books? Start by writing a blog. Do you already have a blog, and you want to write books? Get some practice by converting your blog posts into eBooks. More on that later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
