Capturing and Publishing Family Stories For Fun!

American Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season are coming up soon.

Consider giving your family and loved ones a Story Production to capture personal and family stories as a lasting gift.

We are not getting any younger, and sometimes the opportunity to capture personal stories passes us by.

I have some regrets in that area.

Collaborate with me to capture and preserve the stories, photos, video, and audio in Google Drive folders.

I can conduct interviews and facilitate family storytelling sessions. You never know what will come out of the woodwork!

Then we organize our content into various story productions in different formats. Simple photo and video montages are good for presenting at memorials, weddings, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

A personal or family website is perfect for sharing stories publicly.

It is also possible to have the family update and expand the content over time, making the website a living legacy.

A Life Vault is a multimedia portal that supports multiple levels of access, allowing you to share only certain stories with family and friends.

The stories can also go into books that can be printed or viewed as eBooks and Flipbooks.

Let’s start with identifying and capturing the most important stories.

You can apply the publishing steps to a book you already have.

Consider Creating a Website as a Publishing Destination for Your Book

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 mindThe 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:-)
