101 Ways to Battle Blogger’s Block FREE ebook! (No opt-in! Please RT)

November 2, 2010 · 43 comments

This ebook used to be available only through my newsletter (I’ve got a new one for ya if you DO subscribe to my newsletter, which I HIGHLY recommend!). But now it’s available for anyone to download! Retweet it and tell your friends!

Blogger’s block is the blogging version of writer’s block. Some of those reading this might be considering starting up a blog, but are worried about whether or not they’ll be able to always come up with something to blog about.

It’s kind of hard for me to review my own ebook, so I’ll just give you a list of what it’s all about and it’s features:

  • 101 great ways to always have something to blog about
  • Links to several useful websites and resources
  • Easily printable on 8.5 x 11 paper
  • Beautifully designed and presented (if I do say so myself) to give you an idea of how you can design your own ebook
  • A great price (FREE!)

Play the video below to see what’s inside the ebook (go to about 50 seconds; the first part shows how to get the ebook, which you’ve obviously figured out already!):

Having said all that, please leave a review of the ebook as a comment to this post. Include other suggestions you’ve got, strengths and weaknesses of the ebook, and anything else that’s on your mind and relevant.

Right click here to download! Wooooo!!!!

.

Thanks to Dino Dogan for adding the “Retweet This” button inside the ebook, which I was too lazy to do myself :) Thanks, buddy!

And leave a comment to let me know what you think.

A very nice collection of tips!

One thing I’d add – add a footer with a clickable link back to your site, or perhaps a link back to other goodies you want to offer. Sometimes people pass around downloadable ebooks, so i’t always nice to let new readers have an easy way to find out what you have to offer.

Yes, awesome suggestion! I just uploaded the newest version complete with Blogging Bookshelf link at the top of each page.

I appreciate the complements, Mitchell! Finding images for ebook graphics is one of the best parts of ebook writing!

Hey Tristan I got your ebook through email today and had the chance to look through it. Good work! I quite enjoyed it. I’d have to agree with Barbara though about adding a link in the footer for an extra little reminder for people to visit your site. I also like the cover graphic with the knife murderer, lol. Really catches your eye!

Great point about needing a footer in the 101 Ways to Kill Your Blog ebook, too. I just fixed it (added a header on every page), so every new subscriber gets the updated version. Thanks, Elise!

Tristan,

Thanks for this book. I’m about to crack a Redbull and read it. I’ll be poking around your blog a bit more in the not too distant future.

Cheers.

Tristan November 2, 2010 at 6:17 pm

Sweet! I know a lot of people aren’t Red Bull fans but man, I freaking love the stuff!

great ebook, I know everyone that writes on a blog or website goes through the blockage, nice to have a resource to turn to. I am a no vote on the red bull as well, I cant do without the caffeine though, i crash.

Great, glad you find it useful! Man… I wish I had a Red Bull right now…

Read some of your books this weekend on my Kindle. You are a great airplane read, except I forgot to bring a little pat to write the notes down.
Guess I will have to read everything again ;)
I love the way you write!

Reply

Tristan@Blogging Tips December 8, 2010 at 8:29 pm

Awesome, Brankica! This is the kind of feedback I love to hear :)

Question: How did the ebooks look on the Kindle? I’m especially curious about my ebooks that two columns per page. They looked ok? They were easy enough to read?

Reply

Brankica @ Live Your Love December 8, 2010 at 8:54 pm

I did have to turn it sideways but it was OK. I always turn PDF sideways.
With Kindle being more popular (as other readers too) maybe you can make a PDF version for reading on a computer and a simple TXT version for Kindle. With your wording you have no need for images.
As I said, it was OK for me, but maybe it would be a bit of a problem for a person that doesn’t have a 20/20 vision.

Reply

Tristan@Blogging Tips December 8, 2010 at 9:29 pm

Great! That’s exactly what I wanted to know! I’ll have a txt version for all of my future ebooks, and I’ll try to go back and make txt versions of my older ebooks.

Thanks, Brankica!

Hello Tristan,
I’ve downloaded your e-book. I find it interesting. I maybe a blogger, yeah maybe. I have a blog. But I’m keeping it private. Unlike any other bloggers, who wants to have more views and comments, I prefer mine to be different. hehe I like the tips and suggestions that you shared. Thank you once again!
More power to you! :)

Tristan@Blogging Tips December 14, 2010 at 1:05 am

Great, Maree! I’m glad you liked the ebook. Thanks so much for downloading it and leaving a comment!

Hi Tristan,
On an internet-connection-free cruise recently I took the opportunity of enforced web-silence to read the few free e-books I had downloaded in December. Just want to tell you that relaxing in the middle of the Indian Ocean, I found your book to be bright, breezy and full of tasty content. It is noticeably different to others, which are often padded with dullness. Like Brankica I have to go back and read it again. Maybe I’ll convert it into a workshop for myself, turning the best tips into a timeline of goals. Thanks for the gift.
Julia

Julia, that’s awesome! My ebook has been read in the middle of the Indian Ocean :D

I’m glad you liked it so much! I don’t understand why other people aren’t writing more interesting stuff… I wonder if they really are that boring or if they just feel like they should be “professional” (aka without emotion or personality) in what they write!

Thanks so much for the comment, Julia! I’ve added it to my Word document of nice things people have said about my blog :) It keeps me motivated when I’m tired and worn out.

Julia Hayes January 7, 2011 at 6:11 am

Tristan, I had the impression that the others relied on outsourced material. There is a kind of ‘remoteness’ in the writing. Thanks for your reply : you’ve given me an ‘ahah’ moment – the integral requirement for an interesting post is emotion/passion/personal interest – all lacking in the other ebooks. Well, no point criticising others if I can’t do it myself…back to the keyboard !

Hi Tristan:

I just downloaded and blasted through your “101 Ways to Battle Blogger’s Block”. I read every heading and more than a few sentences within the body copy. I liked it so much that I gave it it’s own folder on my D-drive so I can be sure too find in the next when I come with my coffee and a little more time to really absorb and enjoy it. I found some of your suggestions to be exceptionally practical – like the formula that were no-brainers. Thanks again for the great site.

Hi Tristan,

I downloaded all your ebooks and even though I loved them all, I have to say this is my favorite. The thing is, I am both a writer and a blogger and I need ideas all the time! And although it is relatively easy for me to come up with cool ideas for my blogs, sometimes I get stuck when I write for others.

I constantly read stuff for inspiration and ideas, but they hardly ever suggest something I didn’t think about, or forget to put into use. Your came up with lots of new (and/or fun) ideas and well, that won me over.

Just wanted to drop by and thanks. I’ll be writing a review of your e-book(s) soon. Will post you the link when I’m done.

My favorite tip: Titling a post after a song:)

Thanks again,
Pinar
