Title: How to share knowledge and lessons learned
Post by: gadget99 on October 27, 2015, 01:24:51 PM: Hi All,

I need a bit of advice.

In our Prep journey we have learned a great deal.

Coupled with that and my Military experience. I am looking for a way to share this with the wider prep community.

So I am looking for ideas.

I am thinking of putting up a website. Yet there are so many out there now. Is it worth it?

Could I write articles and submit them to other Prepper sites?

What do you think?

Thanks

Rob

Go ahead and Good Luck. I can't wait to read your website.

You could introduce your own blog/web site thru the sites that accept your articles in the author tag line. You could offer your e-books thru your site, their site, amazoid and others for example.

If your doing this for the money, the real money is in the advertising and that is tied to site traffic. If your doing this to "pay it forward", the e-book may be the answer as that allows you to write on your own schedule, not a deadline.

Write a novel. Incorporate what you have learned into the plot line. Then sell the book via e-book. Keep the price under $4.99 (The price that paperbacks use to sell for).

Plan on writing a series of a minimum of 3 books - Five would be best. Get people hooked and then you have a guarantee reader base.

Some good examples are:

Patriots Has ~4 novels out there that are overlapping plus a blog now
299 Days - Best example nine books plus a blog now
Enemies Foreign & Domestic has 4 books out there plus writes articles for $$$$
Others?

The secret is to knock out a plot line and then fill in the blanks. Simple right ;)

I am going to have a think on this.

Being an Ex-Army Paratrooper. An American Redneck living in the UK and a prepper. Has created an interesting set of lessons that I want to share.

I will get back to you all on this.

Post by: gadget99 on November 07, 2015, 11:33:35 AM: Ok All.

Here is the deal.

I am admittedly a bit of a semi messed up individual.

Due to my Ptsd restrictions I need a proxy for my prepper share knowledge communications.

Anyone interested in volunteering?
