Your blog printed as a real paper book!

Posted on by Team Blookup

 Do you have a blog? Well, do turn it into a book! Sure, but what for, will you ask?

3 years ago, when BlookUp began its journey into the world of blogs and books, we were convinced that nothing could replace real paper books. Being able to hold in your hand the contents you wrote with caution and passion… What a thrill! Just give it a try! Once you receive your blook, when you can go through its pages, you will see all the hard work put to it through all these years. Share it with your friends and see how they get into it: It’s concrete, they can touch what you’ve accomplished and they can relate to it.

Discover the new service that gives value to your digital posts!

Blogs appeared in the 90’s. First used by professionals and companies, private individuals haven’t waited to adopt those digital spaces of expression.

Maybe you too could own a blog like 250 millions of people in the world?

Blogs and social networks have replaced private journals nowadays, people like to speak about them, what they love, their passions and express the need to share every single moment of their daily life. And while we spend more and more time feeding digital accounts, BlookUp offers to do the opposite!  Give tangible form again to digital contents to turn them into books.

Inventor of this new use, BlookUp allows to “blook” (contraction of the words “book” and “blog”) your blogs or social networks accounts, to materialize your virtual contents in the form of a book, using the codes of a traditional publication.

That is to say with a customized cover, pagination, table of contents…

Why make your blook?

If blogs and social networks are amazing spaces to express yourself, internet remains insubstantiable and this accumulation of digital posts!

It is pointless if it’s not shared or valued. That’s where book still have a bright future, because beyond a reminder book or a sharing book, making your blog book is an event!  It’s making YOUR book.

By creating their blook, bloggers customized their cover, adjust the layout, they give life to a publication! A transmissible work, certainly modest but dear to them and the ones they love.

Because the content of a blog is often very personal and concerns a family, it requires investment, passion, time to write, post…

The more time they spend on their blog or their social network accounts, the more the authors want to keep a material track of their work.

Already 8000 bloggers have made their blook, what about you?

Meeting with Frank, a basket lover and a blooker!

  • Tell us about yourself

Passionate about basket but also about writing, I opened Hoop Diary 7 years ago. First, it was a blog hosted on the website basketsession, and it was one of the “star blogs”. Then, the website was closed and I’ve created Hoop Diary on WordPress, to save all my writings.

I’m still very invested in the basket’s world, as a trainer after being Development Director for a minor ligue.

  • What is your blog about?

The first posts was really about my experience as a player and as a trainer, and my thoughts about it. My blog also contains videos of my trainings, it allows me to keep them somewhere.

Then, I’ve wanted to share stories around Toulouse’s basket, before they were forgotten. Finally, Hoop Diary became the website for all the pyrenean basket, some of my posts were shared on other websites.

At last, there are many categories on my blog, including “les routards du basket” (I retrace the steps of big players), “Hoop” (where I highlight picturest grounds). This last category gave birth to my Instagram account.

  • Why did you decide to print your  basketball blog?

I’ve always been fascinated by books, in general. A furnished library is the most valuable thing in my house! Print my blog was the chance for me to keep a paper track of my writings and give body to them thanks to the book. I also intend to publish my own book one day, about the pyrenean basket’s history.

  • How did you know BlookUp?

Thanks to a Valentine’s Day gift! My wife printed my Instagram account, and then I had my blog printed. She’s a blogger too, that’s how she discovered BlookUp.

  • What are the positive points?

The possibility to sort, organize the posts. It’s very easy.

  • How can we improve our service?

More choices for the covers (colors, photos…). Some posts were in two different categories, so it was a little hard to classify them.

  • What do you think of your basketball blook?

The result is good, with quality paper. Regarding the Instagram blook, I think it’s perfect!

  • What does your family think about your basketball blook?

The feedbacks are very positive, it gives a new life to my blog and allows them to dive into the posts again!

  • Would your recommend BlookUp?

Yes I would recommend BlookUp, and I will certainly make another blook in a while!

Booxup is an app which was made for people who want to share their books with others. You just have to submit on the website to be apart of the community. Then, you can add books you want to share on your virtual library so that the other members can see it and choose it if they want to. You can also seek a book you would love among the couple of libraries around you. Booxup works with the geolocalisation, so you will only see libraries close to you. You can also follow members to know when they add a new book on the app.

Booxup was made to let people discover new books and share their owns. This is also a good way to meet people who love the same thing than you : reading. Maybe you should turn your blog into a book and share it on the app ? 🙂

Turn your blog into a book

Posted on by wsb

Nowadays, people are spending more and more time on the Internet. This is especially true for bloggers, who constantly share contents through their blog or social networks. But what if everything was suddenly lost ? How many months or years of work could disappear ? It is now possible to print your blog into a book to keep all of your contents safe and to share it with others.

Sharing is precisely what you can do with a blook*. You can share memories, moments, stories or photos with your friends and family without needing any computer, smartphone or Internet access. No need to be an Internet user anymore to read all of your articles !

Transforming your blog into a book is also an other way of discovering or rediscovering your blog. Reading a book is so much different than reading a page on a computer : it is more authentic. Moreover, bloggers don’t take the time to read their previous articles written months or years ago. Having all of them in one book makes it more simple.

With BlookUp, you can print your memories and share it ! Get your blook here.

*Blook = blog + book

Indeed, the system is also accessible for Instagram and Facebook and could become it for Twitter.

As regards Facebook, data which will appear on your Blook will be the publications which you realized or the photos which you published. So, for a particular event or simply to keep a written and personal track of all these publications and ideas ! Creating a book which will be called then “Blook” is the ideal solution.

What will be the depiction of the blogbook of your photos Instagram?

As for Instagram, the import of photos is very quickly made and allows to visualize an overview free of charge so as to being able to modify him before adding it to its basket. It is obvious that it is better that an album photo where it would be necessary to select photos, possibly to make them develop, find an album with a cover which enjoys us, to sort out them, to put notes by hand by risking deletions, to stick photos (the error is then complicated to modify)… No speak to want to make several albums by hand for several people! (The anxiety)

No, by choosing to create an album photo via BlookUp, you will win at time, in energy and even on the price. The whole for a beautiful book photo delivered directly at your home!

For it you just have to choose “Instagram” as platform at the time of the first stage of creation of your book, to personalize either partially or totally your cover and to choose your photos. The layout makes after these few choice, automatically. You will not have then more than to admire the depiction and to command your Blook. It will be then FINISH.

You can command it of course in several copies and offer it to whom you will want!
