Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2015
This how-to book about "blogging a book" is exactly what its title promises and more. It tells you clearly and comprehensively how to use your blog to write a book or, conversely, how to pool together your posts on a given subject in order to produce a book.

This is an important book, it will make you think. I spent several days pondering over it and taking notes. While the book is everything you expect and gives you detailed, clear advice, allowing you to get started (and even complete!) your non-fiction book, it doesn't cover as extensively the challenges faced by fiction writers. There is a basic requirement (and very logical too) for successfully blogging a book: you need to have at hand a complete, detailed outline so that you know what to post on your blog each day or every other day (yes, that's how often you really need to post to attract traffic!).

For fiction writers who do not work to an outline, who are in short "pantsers", this can be daunting or downright impossible. But Nina Amir's guidebook is nevertheless useful even if you're such a fiction writer: it explains in detail and amply demonstrates (including with interviews of bloggers who have successfully moved from blogging to being best-selling authors) how to link your blogging to your writing, in short, how to get readers to share your journey as a writer. I finally decided to use Nina Amir's advice and apply it to my blog, at least in part since I happen to be both a non-fiction and a fiction writer - alas, a fiction writer who hates outlines and is an unconditional pantser! And I can vouch that her advice works beautifully if you have clearly in mind (with a full outline of course) how your book is meant to develop - and if you don't (my case when it comes to novel writing), then you know how to share "juicy" tid bits of your book as you sail forward with your (inspired) writing.

There is no question that the Nina Amir technique helps to "unblock" non-fiction writers who do have a full book proposal and outline on hand and yet are blocked (often because they haven't yet sold their proposal) and thus haven't started writing their book. And by bringing the blog closer to readers, it no doubt helps fiction writers too. Perhaps some day Nina Amir will eventually issue a third edition of her guide with more tips for fiction writers who are pantsers - but in the meantime, her book unlocks doors even for them.

This is a book that fully deserves five stars - highly recommended.

This is a great book for all types of bloggers. It really covers chapter by chapter how to blog a book while still leaving the element of surprise at the end so that readers will want to buy your book. It was a well constructed read with a lot of creative exercises on how to come up with your chapters by using index cards or post it notes. She teaches the art of making a storyboard, which I find very useful as a writer in general. Plus, it was fun to make too!

The author really delves into how to make your book your business by creating a detailed marketing plan and mapping out how many times a day you plan to blog a chapter. Nina covers how a marketing plan can attract book publishers because you're showing them up front, what you can do. She guides you through different forms of social media and how to make it apart of your book proposal. There are lessons that cover building an author site and on how to continue blogging, after the book is complete. Very helpful!

I think that maybe my only complaint about this book is I'd love to see one that is specifically for a fiction book author. Although the non-fiction rules apply, it would be cool to see what she does with the fiction market. I would buy it in a heartbeat. Again, I recommend for all bloggers to buy this book. It's a great way, with or without a book, to transform your blog into a thriving business.

Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2019
In the past, I've used software to write books as blog entries. When I began my indie career, and didn't have editors to rely on (to stay focused), the blog-to-book approach helped. I wrote in a blog that was hidden from public view, and that relieved some first-draft blues, as well.

That's why I understand the value of what's taught in this book. Though much of the information seems dated now, I think the general concept might be helpful to new authors who aren't ready to leap into, say, Scrivener, or write in a plain text/document file.

In addition, I know that some authors are posting their books as blog entries - and monetizing them with ads and affiliate links - in addition to publishing them as books. That way, authors can reach a broader audience with differing priorities. (However, I can also argue in favor of the "Kill Your Blog" concept. For me, it's a coin-flip.)

The general ideas in this book can be useful. It's a good introduction to the blog-to-book approach. Just keep in mind that far more tools are available now, whether you're writing your book as blog posts, or turning an existing book in a series of blog posts.

Having read this book after reading several others, this was exactly what I needed. So many books on blogging lack concrete information making it difficult for a new writer/blogger to know how to translate advice into action. How to Blog a Book is NOT a book you read once and cast aside and rather, is a consummate resource on how to, not why to, blog a book. I am glad I found this it as I was just about to throw in the towel on the whole blogging thing concluding it was an enormous time sink with uncertain payoffs. I've become a big Nina Amir fan. If you've grown sick of the hype of other books which sell you with enthusiasm but leave you confused about tactics, I recommend you give this a try.

Nina takes you through every step, providing practical examples, copious references, and valuable case studies at the end of people who have succeeded using the blog to book approach.
