Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m Rued Riis – a 6’8″ tall guy from Copenhagen, Denmark. I consider myself an entrepreneur and have started and grown multiple projects over the last 10 years. One of them is Tallsome.com, which is a blog for tall people. The book, I’ve written is for the readers of Tallsome and revolves around physical training. Growing up, I was extremely skinny. It was not until my older brother taught me to train right that I started to gain weight. My learnings on how to do this in a simple and efficient way is now gathered in a small e-book.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
It’s an easy-to-read e-book called “Beginner’s Bodybuilding Exercise Guide: How to Cut Through to the Basics of Bodybuilding”. It was my simplification of all the chaotic information on how to build strength. In my view, you only need a handful of good tips to get started and start growing.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I write when I wait, have a break or commute. It’s great to fill these small spaces with getting some sentences down as elaboration on small ideas I’ve written down.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I love self-development books and have been formed by books like “The Way to Love” and all the biographies on Ben Franklin, Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs.
What are you working on now?
I’m scaling my course business on RuedRiis.com, where I teach animation to non-technical content creators.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Google Search is a great place to captured people’s attention, but it requires a lot of hard work to rank. Youtube is another great channel, if you like to be on camera on know how to shoot and edit.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Just get started. My first book wasn’t the most complex and elaborate piece of work, but it got me started and that’s the hardest part.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Done is better than Perfect.
What are you reading now?
I’m re-reading Paolo Colho’s The Alchymist.
What’s next for you as a writer?
I’m blogging a lot these days, so getting into the habit of consistent blogging instead of long-form books.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
