Category: Book Publishing

Emphasizing the Unlimited part of Shared Visions Unlimited Publishing, I encourage and help you to publish your book in multiple formats on multiple platforms, including:

• Printed Book and eBook through Amazon and IngramSpark
  Put your book out far and wide forever and possibly make some money.
• FlipBook
  Easy distribution and support for multimedia elements. Help people, build authority, and increase influence.
• Digital Experience Edition
  Secure multimedia portal for your book content and support material. Great potential for direct sales.
• Audiobook
  A market for those who prefer to listen.
• Video Versions
  Illustrated readings, training, …

Today, I suggest adding a blogging website to the mix and possibly starting by writing and publishing your book on a blogging website.

Why You Would Consider Publishing Your Book As A Website

This is for you if your reasons to write and publish a book are along these lines:

• You have joy in the creating and writing process itself.
• You have insights or stories you want to share with the world.
• You want to increase your authority and influence.
• You may want to use a book as a lead magnet for your products and services.
• You want to engage your readers with your content and get feedback to improve the print book.
• You collaborate with an editor or writing coach.

This is not for you if you are a perfectionist who
wants everything perfect before sharing.

I build high-performing and search-engine-optimized WordPress sites for marketing and various other purposes. Here is why this approach can work for your book and why I am going to use this approach for my own books:

• WordPress provides a great platform for writing and collaborating on posts and articles.
• Attention to Search Engine Optimization and submitting to Google Search Console can boost your search presence.
• The pages can have rich multimedia content and links to related resources.
• WordPress provides a good search function for the site itself. This is fabulously useful.
• The Google Translate plugin can translate the site instantly. I still think this is amazing! Check out the language selector at the bottom-right of this window.
• You can invite feedback and comments for your content as you go.
• Sharing to social media platforms is easy.
• Linking back from social media platforms and YouTube is easy.

Writing Live and Testing Content

I have a few books in mind: The First Book of Lazy, All My Relations, Adventures in Moving, and The Golden Publishing Sales Machine.

I will create a website and start writing at least one of those books live soon.

Here is the plan:

1. Register a domain name with the working book title.
2. Create a website with key plugins, including Yoast SEO, Google Site Kit, and Ultimate Blocks.
3. Create a home page with a book description and a working outline of topics.
4. Write the first chapter.
5. Submit the site to Google Search Console for indexing.
6. Write a chapter regularly. I will aim for at least three a week.
7. Post a link to each chapter on social media.
8. Consider doing a broadcast for each chapter.

I use Grammarly to keep my writing somewhat under control!

If I get readers and interest, I will combine and publish in some or all formats such as a print book, eBook, flipbook, audiobook, and Digital Experience Edition.

At the very least, I will have fun writing and publishing the chapters:-)
