A Road Map to “Blog & Book” Success
Ever since Wil “Wesley Crusher Who?” Wheaton landed his book deal on the strength of his blog, would-be bestsellers everywhere have been aching for the big break - the almighty book deal.
Here’s a story from the other perspective - book-then-blog. Author Tim Ferriss wrote The Four Hour Work Week and used his blog as marketing device for the book. In this post, he recounts for us how he got to the highly enviable position of having his first book land simultaneously in the number one slots on both the New York Times bestseller and Wall Street Journal business bestseller lists.
As a would-be author myself, I’m especially heartened by learning that Tim’s book was “turned down by 13 of 14 editors.” Wow. There’s hope for all of us!
