Blurb Booksmart: How to create your own book

Posted on February 21, 2008 at 7:03 am

I have always dreamed of writing my very own book. Being able to sit down and look at my words in professional print makes me smile. Although I thought doing this was a fantasy, it is now within reach. Blurb Booksmart is a extraordinary tool that will let users turn their personal blogs, photos, or diaries into an actual book.

You will be able to choose from a variety of sizes and two cover types. Not only is this an awesome idea, but it is also extremely affordable. Instead of having to spend unimaginable amounts of cash to get your words displayed in a professional manner, users can do it themselves with Blurb Booksmart.

While browsing the internet, I have come across many interesting blogs and thought that this person should write a book. Now bloggers and virtually anyone else can use the Blurb Booksmart tool to create a beautifully printed book of all of their favorite blog posts or photos. Although many of us are accustomed to surfing the web for useful information, there are still some individuals that feel its a waste of time. Change their minds by giving them access to your “words of wisdom” via a printed book and watch them flock to the internet. Converting your own personal blog into a book is a tremendously smart idea.

Importing your blog data from popular blogging services like LiveJournal, Blogger, or WordPress can be done quickly and easily. Once you have done this, you will be able to customize your book with multiple feature. Using the online interface is very straightforward and works quite well. The price for your printed masterpiece ranges from as little as $12.95 to as much as $159.95. The overall pricing is determined by the number of pages you choose, the number of copies, and the style of book cover. If you purchase books in bulk, then you will have access to a discounted price.

After you have created your treasured book, you can easily distribute it to family members and friends. Users also have the option of adding them to a public bookstore for sale to anyone who wants it. Prospective buyers can get a 15 page preview sample of your book before fully purchasing it. This will give them the opportunity to see what it is all about. Increase the chance of others discovering it on the web by adding useful descriptions or categories. Getting the word out about your book can be easily done by sending out invitations to others or placing a Blurb Badge on your blog.

All aspiring writers and bloggers should give Blurb Booksmart a try. If you have something worth saying, then consider branching out. Let others experience your “words of wisdom” through a book version. Not only will you increase your online following, but you will also gain an offline following as well. This is a wonderful service with a user friendly interface.
