If you write a blog consistently, you already have a book. Here’s how to make your blog a book: Find your favorite and most popular posts. Group them by subject or year. Remove links, CTAs, stock photos… Name your book after your blog. Writing a book from your posts isn’t cheating. Derek Sivers recommends that strategy. Nicolas Cole wrote Quora Best Answers of 2015. Seth Godin wrote Small Is the New Big and Whatcha Gonna Do with That Duck? Wouter turned Brain Baking into a book. If they did it, so can we. Books have longer lifespans than posts. We’re still reading The Odyssey, The Bible, and Meditations. That’s the best way to preserve our stories and ideas. If asking for a coffee feels uncomfortable, point readers to your books instead. If you’re curious, I’m documenting my life in books—you can find them here.
