Back when I was heavily into blogging, I co authored a book called Beyond Blogging http://amzn.to/mBHONG and self-published it via CreateSpace (for Amazon and BN.com) and Lulu (for iPad).
The idea was to create a Think and Grow Rich type of book for bloggers and writing types, but I'm not sure we executed as well as I wanted to. I think it reads well and a lot of people have enjoyed it (Sold around 750-1k copies to date), but it's on a topic I'm no longer interested in so I'm probably biased against it.
That being said, most of the people we featured in the book continued to be successful, so I'm proud of that (that we chose well).
Was also great to interview people. We had interviews recorded for the 2nd book (including Seth Godin, Andrew Warner, Mitch Joel, and 10 others), but opted against it.
Was a great experience though, and I not only enjoyed writing it, but also enjoyed the pieces of the publishing industry that I was able to experience.
