If you write articles for online markets, for publicity or for pay, you can turn many of these excellent articles into booklets.
The length of most booklets is 24-48 pages, so of course, you would have to revise the articles to that length and then reprint them.
Maybe you've published many articles online that you think would be a good subject for a how-to and/or informational booklet.
Review all of your articles.
Of course, make sure that you maintain the copyright and give non-exclusive rights to those articles that you think might be interesting booklets.
Make a list of these articles. What subjects are they? Here are some possible subjects for booklets:
Business -Computers & Internet - Electronics - Fashion - Food -Games - Health - Hobbies - Home & Garden - Kids & Family -Movies & Music - Sport - Travel
These are the same subjects that you find online. And you can add other categories. How can you turn these topics into booklets.
First find a group of your articles that you think you can revise. Let's say you've written an article on "Fashion and Film."
Review this article? Maybe this is an article that can be a booklet. Do you think readers of booklets would be interested in this subject?
Maybe this subject?
"Teaching Children Through Astronomy"
Or?
"How to Start a Container Garden?"
Make a list of your articles.
Which do you think might be salable as a booklet?
Which do you think you have enough knowledge and information, even details?
Do you have to do more research on the subject to develop a booklet?
Use your search engine to find if there are other books on the subject?
Of course, this book also has to be a book that you want to develop into a booklet.
Remember a booklet is not a full-length work. It's not hundreds of pages.
Often people are interested in finding out information in a few pages.
If you're good at writing in a concise, entertaining, and informative manner, then you might develop a booklet.
Also, what about your readership online?
If you're written articles that readers online find interesting and informative, then probably you would also find readers for the booklet form?
Let's say you've written an article on How to Become a Literary Agent.
If you've gotten a good response to the article online, good comments. Then why not write a booklet on the subject.
You find there are a lot of books on literary agents, but few on how to become a literary agent. Then you know you have a title for a booklet. Maybe even a title for a book.
If you're not an literary agent yourself, but a freelance writer and researcher, you might also ask a credentialed literary agent if they'd like to co-author this booklet with you, and/or you can get quotes from established literary agents, and/or reviews or commentary.
Maybe you can even interview an established literary agent for your booklet.
The article that you have already written provides the guidelines and the basic format. It's just a matter of creating a longer work.
Reread your article and make a list of the details that you need to add.
Take notes.
Research additional information and details.
Include the interview, quotations, maybe a listing of websites of interest to literary agents. Include a longer bibliography.
Reread and insert the additional information.
Continue to rewrite until your article is the necessary length for a booklet. As we have said, that's 24-48 pages.
Reread, edit, revise.
Make sure this is the best booklet that you can write.
You can publish free online at Lulu Press or Cafepress.
You can publish as a e-booklet or a printed booklet. With these presses you can publish both a printed a ebook version of your booklet.
Then advertise, advertise, advertise.
There are many websites and forums that help you to advertise your new booklet.
Also, booklets do not have to be nonfiction. You can publish fiction, poetry, plays, and creative writers. Photographers and artists can also publish their photographs and artwork in booklet form.
