Sometimes, that is “the question.” Pillar posts are ones you write with your particular authority on a subject. I’ve read in much “blog how-to” literature that pillar posts are very helpful for traffic and seo. I can attest this is true indeed. If you are regular at these, you will see they get a lot of search engine traffic for a long time. Once in a while, a pillar post is not the ideal way to get your valuable words out.
It’s sometimes better to create an adobe reader file, a pdf. Often these are sold on websites, ie: “5 steps to playing bass guitar.” Other times they are given away as blog marketing rewarding readers to subscribe to their feed. I am currently working on an ebook about starting a blog, my first. I’m not sure how I will offer it to my readers yet. The reason I thought to try a pdf is because I get questions about this topic all the time and I think it would be more convenient to email than to repeat myself over and over. These are easier than ever to make, you might want to create one and have it handy for your family and friends. The newest release of Office Word allows you to save your Word project as a pdf.
Thanks for the tips Damien
No problem. I hope people know how easy it is to make an eBook. If the first line is confusing it’s because there used to be one in front of it that read “To pdf or not pdf …” LOL. I guess I missed that final proofread. Oh well, it still works, kinda!
I am very much in that ‘To pdf or not pdf.. that is the question’ camp… I will test it out this weekend

My eBook is now ready for purchase. You can read a blurb I wrote about How to Start a Money Making Blog. I have a lot of this material available for free across my blogs but this puts it all together succinctly.
