Blogchatter A to Z is a chance for me to research for my books and get it ready for Blogchatter Ebook festival and more. If my blog made writing a favorite habit, then Blogchatter A to Z is one of the magical ingredients behind my author journey. This year I will not only write, plan the launch, publish and get ready for the Blogchatter ebook festival, but also be using a few platforms to ask your opinion about it.

Today and tomorrow I am gifting my e-book, Starting a Successful Blog(Blogging in India series), just for my readers and blogger friends. In this book, I have shared what’s working for me, for the last four and a half years of blogging. It includes all the tools, tips and resources I used to build my Blog from scratch.

#3 Why Blogchatter AtoZ?

Check out this page or my Ebook on Blogging challenges(link below) to know my journey with AtoZ and why Blogchatter’s version is just better especially for Indian bloggers.
It’s great market research if you are planning to self publish with Blogchatter Ebook festival.
Its great social media promotion for your soon to publish a book. You grow your online presence while having fun.
Your book reaches people who read books and blogs. That’s a rare group of people.

While writing this post, I realized my journey this year will have two parts

Writing the ebook
Researching the best way to market

The second part I will be keeping notes and just may turn out to be another book. I am sure the Blogchatter Book Review programme will help. When Amazon Prime picked up my Fruits for Life ebook for their promo, I knew this was the series which I would want to focus on. Guess why?

Because Amazon is the third most popular digital platforms in India where people buy, not just scroll.

Why do I write non-topical posts sometimes during A to Z?

When you submit your book for the Kindle Select programme, you can’t keep more than 10% of the content free on your blog. That creates some issues.

#4 What is the best way to handle the KDP Select issue?

Not sign up for KDP select . Just publish with KDP.
Keep some content extra for your book. Keep the research material and use it to create a richer experience with your ebook. A blog post doesn’t have the scope for extensive research material. But a book does.
Experiment with both and see what works for you.
Vlog your posts and write introductory posts for behind the scene activity. That way your written content stays in the book.
Sign up for KDP select and make the other posts password protected.

Let me know in the comments below how you are planning to go ahead with the ebook challenge.
