My experiences from
growing a technology blog
and writing a book
Petri Kainulainen
SO,
there goes
your excuses…
SURPRISING
(OR FUNNY)
things that have
happened to me
Turns out
it´s my blog
Publishers
must be
desperate
Don´t have
time for all
of them
IT ´S HARD WORK
(and probably overrated)
IF YOU DECIDE TO WRITE A
BOOK ANYWWAY
Write an outline
Set a realistic schedule
Get your own reviewers
Don’t be afraid to suggest
changes if it makes the
book better
Start marketing your book
before it is published
SO,
that is what…
