Writing a book can seem like a gargantuan task but having a plan and producing

ree

regular content can make it 10x easier


Here is our 10-step book writing process:


  1. Establish who your target audience is

  2. Establish the why. What journey are you going to take your reader on, what will they learn?

  3. What is the ultimate outcome for your reader? What transformation will they achieve?

  4. Brainstorm your main topics - these become your chapters

  5. Break those main topics down further - they become the subheadings in your chapters

  6. Box time off daily for working on your book. This is sacred time. Show up. Never miss two days in a row

  7. Don't edit a single thing until the entire book is written

  8. Edit

  9. Show it to trusted friends and colleagues - get feedback - edit again

  10. Publish


Write Regularly


The strongest piece of advice for making your book happen is don't take this task on all at once. If you've outlined your book and chapters, why not post some of your ideas on your social media?


Any feedback you get will generate more ideas and fill gaps that you may not have considered in your book.


Producing content regularly will make you a better writer and build a library of content that you can use to distill, edit, organize and package into something more valuable.


Many content creators worry about reusing content, but an incredible number of successful books have started their lives as online blogs. A quick Google will offer you endless examples of blogs turned into best sellers.

Looking at the success of these blogs, turned books and the rise in popularity of online courses, it's important to realize that people will pay good money for the compiling, collation, organizing, structuring, pretty presentation, and packaging of information.


They pay simply because it saves them time, makes their lives easier or in the case of your personal brand, they like, respect, and want to learn from YOU.


Now get writing!
