Spreading Your Blog Around like Butter
Spread Your Blog Around!
If you've thought about publishing your blog, how would you go about that project? In this article, Linda talks about some possibilities for spreading your blog around like butter.
Conclusion
There is nothing like holding a book, no matter how many Kindles you own or the convenience you might experience with talking books (especially on the road). If you want to see your work in print, the sites listed above can provide you with that thrill for far less than $25.00USD. You couldn't take a vacation for that price.
Additionally, if you think that your blog might be one way to build content for a book, then your blog might take on a new dimension for you. Your content might become tighter, more interesting and better organized. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with any of those additions.
But, before you jump into this project, think about other options. Lulu, especially, can provide you with some ideas on how to sell your site through other items such as calendars, photobooks, cookbooks, portfolios and CDs or DVDs. Browse around, read the "how-to" articles on all three sites and take time to mull over your options. Your blogging world may expand, your work may become discovered by a major publisher, and your reputation as an expert in any given category could expand if you decide to publish your work.

Linda Goin carries an A.A. in graphic design, a B.F.A. in visual communications with a minor in business and marketing and an M.A. in American History with a minor in the Reformation. While the latter degree doesn't seem to fit with the first two educational experiences, Linda used her 25-year design expertise on archaeological digs and in the study of material culture. Now she uses her education and experiences in social media experiments.
Accolades for her work include fifteen first-place Colorado Press Association awards, numerous fine art and graphic design awards, and interviews about content development with The Wall St. Journal, Chicago Tribune, Psychology Today, and L.A. Times.
