Write the book! Speak at workshops and summits. Publish your book content consistently on your social media platform. Build relationships with other like-minded thought leaders. I wouldn’t waste a second trying to get attention from a traditional publisher.
Do you want to know something? Becoming an author is so doable. After all, I did it at age 56. But the strategy is speed. Once you have the first chapter finished, you begin blogging, putting it on social media, and working your way into workshops and summits. You don’t have to wait to start, and you don’t have to multitask. Just do everything at once across the board. I would add to plan the book and chapters. That way, you’ll have a map of where you’re headed.
The benefits of this book will be in learning to build relationships, building your email list, and sales. It is difficult to grasp what I’m talking about until it comes time to promote during the pre-order time frame, then it proves to be true. Begin now by reaching out to your dream team. Make a list of those you would like to have a relationship with within your community. This is your dream team.
Please acknowledge that you are in it for the long haul. Define who your reader will be. Write down your dream team. Publish content consistently, preferably every day. Reuse the content on every social media post or blog you own. Create the concept for your book, including the title, cover, and chapters. Reach out to a few of your dream team and ask them if they would be willing to participate in a summit and on a podcast. Document with video every day. You can use Facebook live. Use the information you talk about to build your book chapters.
Remember, you are building authority as a writer and a business person.
Happy Reading
Melissa Saulnier
