Welcome to a brand new Nuffnang experiment – the monthly Blogger Challenge! Each month we’ll try to inspire you to get your creative freak on with our Blogger Challenge topics – which will hopefully result in great blog post ideas for YOU and sometimes cool prizes too!

So, without further delay, here’s the challenge for this month! Create a blog post in response to this question:

August Blogger Challenge: If the old saying is true, and everyone has one book in them, what would YOUR book be?

How to participate:

All you need to do is create a blog post in response to the challenge question. The whole point of it is to encourage you to get creative and do a great post on whatever it is YOU love to blog about. Be as creative as possible! Include photos which would appear in your book – the best meal you ever ate, the craft project you’re most proud of making. Or your book could be full of tutorials – how to create the ultimate vintage fashion ensemble, or how to create a particular look if you like to work with makeup. Or you can create a book to celebrate something special for your family – a wedding, or a birthday.

If you want to be in the running to win one of the Blogger Challenge prizes, you’ll need to do a couple of extra things to enter the competition (see the Rules, below). Of course, if you just want to write a post for the challenge, and don’t want to enter the competition, that’s fine.

The top three most creative entries will get the chance to turn their book idea into a reality! There is an old adage that everybody has at least one book in them. Until recently though, the means to making those books were pretty limited. That has all changed with Blurb, a quality print-on-demand publisher, that wants to make your book a reality. So Blurb is offering three prizes of a free book for those in the Nuffnang bloggers community who come up with the best idea for their book.

One cool thing about Blurb books is they can be personal (a book of your own photography, or favourite recipes, or your crafty creations) which you turn into a book for yourself or your family. Or you can create a book and sell it through Blurb. So if you’re looking for a new way to monetise your blog, you could potentially create a book based on your blog posts (or with all new content) and then sell copies to your readers.

The Rules:

Create a blog post any day between now and August 31, and make sure that you include the words “Nuffnang August Blogger Challenge” and a link to this post. Then come back to this post and leave a comment with a link to your post, to let us know you’re entering! The three most creative entries (as judged by the Nuffnang team) will each get to make a free Blurb book!
