More than 80% of us want to write a book. There have been two major obstacles for most people.
Few of us have had the dedication to actually get the job done. The biggest obstacle for most of us is time. Where do you find it? I share some tips on overcoming this obstacle in another post.
The next obstacle is cost. Have you ever looked into the cost of self-publishing and hiring a ghost writer? The cost seems hard to justify when the big box publishers make it so hard to get a foot in the door.
Self-publishing your own book is so easy today.
- Freelance copy editors are readily available to ensure your content is free from grammar and punctuation errors.
- Print on demand (POD) sets you free from a huge printing investment.
Not only can a self-published book earn money. It can fill your cash funnel by positioning you as an expert in your field.
2 Major Obstacles Are Gone!
- You don’t have to hire an agent.
- You don’t have to interest a publisher.
- You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to print your own book.
That all sounds great, right?
I can hear you already…Yes, but…
- “It will be HARD to write my own book.”
- “It will COST too much to write my own book.”
- “I’d NEVER know where to start writing my own book.”
- “My English is so poor. I just couldn’t write anything.”
- “I know nothing about publishing.”
- “I’m not computer savvy enough to handle the formatting and uploading and all that.”
That’s what Writing My Own Book is here for.
Let’s look at each objection.
It’s just too hard to write.
- If you’re the do-it-yourself type, you’ll find the information you need to reduce the ‘hard’ factor at the Learn For Myself membership level.
- If you’re someone who needs some gentle guidance along the way, you’ll find the Personalized Instruction membership goes beyond reducing the ‘hard’ factor to helping you find your own sweet writing spot.
- If you’re someone who needs intensive assistance, the Intensive Personalization membership walks you through the book writing process step by step.
It costs too much.
- With Print on Demand (POD), you control your costs. For example, you don’t pay anything for printing until you order books if you use CreateSpace. That beats the $10,000 minimum charged by most self-publishing companies.
- Only you can determine whether your investment in a writing coach is going to pay off. I do know that if you write a book, you will build your reputation as an expert in your niche. You attract clients.
I don’t know where to start.
- Choosing a starting point is a skill you’ll learn no matter what of the paid membership levels you choose. I’m adding continually to the knowledge bank.
My English just isn’t good enough.
- That’s what copy editors are for! Every book needs at least one, if not two.
- Concepts. Ideas. That’s what makes a book worth reading.
I know nothing about publishing.
- I didn’t either six years ago. Now I know how to use both Word and InDesign to layout very professional books.
- Don’t let what you don’t know today, stop you from accomplishing your dreams.
I’m not computer savvy.
- There are so many publishing services available today. I’m just one of many.
- You don’t have to be computer savvy. Just hire someone who knows how to publish to handle both print publishing and and eBook publishing.
