Turn Your Blog Posts into Books – Podcast

Recently I clocked up the magnificent milestone of having published 650 blog posts. And, this started me thinking about how I could re-purpose and re-use this content in new ways. The obvious question for me was how to turn these blog posts into books.

Our Topic

This is episode #48 of the Ideas Architect podcast. And, today we’re talking about re-using your blog posts by collecting them and packaging them into a book.

There’s a couple of good reasons for this.

  • Firstly, if you’re needing a reason to blog the lure of writing a book might be a good kickstarter.
  • Secondly, if you already have the blog posts you might as well leverage them in new ways and potentially attract a new audience.
