The Most Hopeful Way of Getting Your Book Written and Telling Your Story
Looking to establish your credibility and leave a legacy by writing a book? Welcome to the latest episode of the View from the Top podcast as we interview author and expert D. Scott Smith. Join Wally and Big A to chat with Scott about his approach to writing a short-form book and how it differs from traditional methods. From using a book as a lead magnet to establishing oneself as a thought leader, this episode offers invaluable insights into the importance of writing a book. Tune in to learn about the benefits of self-publishing, the importance of picking a specific problem and providing a unique solution, and much more!
3 Key Takeaways
- Scott suggests that writing a book positions an individual as a thought leader and provides credibility.
- Traditional publishing can take a long time, and the process of finding an agent and a publisher can take several years. However, self-publishing is a viable option for writers who want to get their message out there quickly.
- To sell anything, it should be available for purchase. Many people put their short-form books into e-books that are only available on their website, which limits the number of people who can purchase them.
