Valid point Meredith. Thanks for the tip! I just want to make sure the content is as accessible as possible and if It could also pay for media, tips, and coffee that would be great aswell!

You could do both. No Starch Press has published a couple of books that started out as blogs and still remain free online, e.g. http://learnyouahaskell.com/. Bill Pollock, who runs No Starch, is super friendly and approachable -- drop him an email and ask?

Cheers,

Get paid for your time, write a book.

Hi Everyone,
I've been bouncing around the idea of compiling the 7+ years of plant tissue culture experience I've mustered into articles for my blog for a long time now. I have a ton of content as drafts and galleries of original pictures and whatnot and am stuck at a crossroads and would like some advice. My plan was to keep posting small articles to my blog about the little steps needed to make a transgenic plant in very newbie-friendly detail. A lot of my contacts recommended I just compile a book and publish it so that I can get a little compensation for the information that would be a little hard to come by in that specific format. I have always put teaching people first and tend to forget about supporting myself which is what led me to this intersection. 

Would people rather have a nice free blog that steadily outputs content with some tasteful adds pertaining to relevant companies and products, or pay a small price for a Julia Child-style cookbook of plant tissue culture and transformation recipes concocted by yours truly with plenty of pictures and commentary?
