When you're thinking about what income streams are the best fit for your business model, consider writing and publishing a book. Many entrepreneurs have dreams of being a published author, so why not you? Why not now?
Presence yourself and your voice in the world through the written word.
Your book should be published in both digital and print formats and have enough content in it to establish you as an expert, gain credibility, and become a leader in your field.
Let’s explore all the reasons this income stream could be a good fit for you.
Establish Yourself as a Thought Leader
A book can help you establish yourself as a thought leader by putting your knowledge, expertise and life experience on paper. When you offer people a print book as the foundation of your business, people (especially your audience and your competition) will take notice. This boosts your credibility and helps to establish you as a trailblazer and visionary.
Provide a Jumping Off Point for Your Products & Services
The best thing about a book is that it can become the basis of many other products and services. From courses, to information products, from workshops to group coaching experiences, you will be able to transform your written works into your life's body of work.
Your book can be the very beginning of your six-figure coaching system. It can also expand into many other profitable ideas, all from one book.
Get More Exposure
You write a book and then the book must be promoted.
It can be easier to promote a product, an offer, or in this case a book, than it is to promote yourself. When you are promoting and talking about your book, you can mention yourself, but you’ll be talking about yourself in terms of how you help others. You can share how the book serves a bigger purpose in your business and that the book can be the beginning of the audience's journey.
This can also lend itself as a jumping off point for doing interviews on podcasts, online or streaming TV, or local TV time or radio time where you have the opportunity to share yourself through your book.
It’s a Simple Process to Get it Done
While it is time-consuming to write a book, you are indeed already an expert at something. You have experienced something, overcome something, accomplished something, and it’s all the basis for the business you want to start. All you have to do is write it down, pay someone to edit it, and then start promoting.
While writing a book can seem intimidating, the truth is, if you are really an expert in your field, (even if you’re only one step up in knowledge from your audience) the fact that you could compile it together into a book for consumption by the public is impressive. The act will establish you as a holder of knowledge and experience in your niche for years to come.
