So you want to start a calligraphy business – that's awesome! But wait… are there too many calligraphers out there already that it's going to be impossible to create your own space and stand out in this industry?This was an actual (and legitimate) question I got in my Instagram DM's by a follower a few weeks ago. She was wondering if the market was too saturated for new calligraphers to make it – and let me tell you, this is NOT the first time I've heard this concern. With so many established calligraphers out there already in such a niche industry, it can feel like you won't be able to get your foot in the door (much less make money!). But in reality, this industry (and many others like it) is ever-changing – and there IS a seat at the table for you!In this week's episode of The Shinah Show, I'm going to pop the ‘calligraphy bubble' you've been living inside and show you:Why there is more room in this industry than you thinkHow being a “beginner” can work to your advantageWhy getting over your ‘imposter syndrome' is absolutely necessary in order to make itThere are SO many ways for you to profit from calligraphy, and so many different pockets of customers out there you probably haven't thought of that never knew they needed you - you just have to get out there and be brave!See “Episode 52.

In this episode, you'll also hear:3 questions to help you clarify your book's purpose How to figure out what your target audience really wants — and whether you can give it to themWhy “there is no competition” is a lie, and how you can use that to your advantageWhy figuring out who your target audience is and what they want must the first step you take before you move forward with your book launchBe sure to read all the way to the end for a link to the book launch checklist and video training!3 Questions To Clarify Your Book's PurposeSome people will tell you to just write what you feel. In other words, to write for yourself. But that's bad advice! As a Christian author, you're ultimately writing for someone that you want your work to impact. That means you must have a clear understanding of who exactly the book is for and why they would want to read it. This information is absolutely critical if you want to have a successful book launch, because it will guide every decision you make, from what platform you use to launch your book to what marketing strategies you follow. So how do you clarify your book's purpose? Start by asking yourself the following three questions.1. Are you writing for a specific demographic, or are you trying to publish a book to be read by all ages and backgrounds? If you're writing for a specific demographic or market segment — like young adults, for example — then your book launch plan needs to take that into account. You can't launch a young adult book in a way that would appeal to someone who's 50 or 60 years old, because people in those age groups aren't looking for the same things. Your book launch strategy must be centered on ways that will make your target audience most likely to engage with your book.Whoever your target audience is, you need to figure out where they are hanging out and where they usually get information on books. If you're trying to reach teenage readers, you might want to organize something in a local high school or use social media platforms that teens are more likely to use (like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat). If your book is for business professionals, you might want to focus on podcasts, blogs, or online news magazines they're already consuming. Or you might want to emphasize paid promotions on platforms like BookBub, Amazon, and Facebook, because that's where they go for their information. Ultimately, the key is to develop a book launch plan that takes into account the target audience you are trying to reach. 2. What are the needs and wants of your target audience? As authors, we often have a particular mission and agenda that we want to accomplish with the book we're writing. And that's important, because God has given us that calling. But just as we need to make sure we accomplish our own mission, we also need to take into account how human beings operate. And as humans, we're always going to be more interested in what we want than what we need. That means you've got to lead with what your target audience wants rather than what they need. Yes, of course you should give them what they need, but if you don't give them some of what they want, they won't be interested in what you have to say. What problem or challenge does your target audience really want to overcome? And how can you tap into that with your book? What insights or information can you give that they will find valuable or interesting? By understanding what your readers are looking for, you can create book content and marketing that truly speaks to their desires. For example, if you're in the weight loss space, you might know what people need to do to lose weight. But what are your readers most interested in? Most likely, they want to know how many pounds they can lose and how quickly they can lose it — and how much they would have to give up to achieve that goal.Think about it — if you tell them they can lose weight at a pretty good rate without having to give up everything they love, they'll be excited to learn about it. But if all you talk about is the exercises they'll need to do and all the things they'll have to give up, they probably won't want to listen. Regardless of your topic, you must tap into what really matters to your readers. Only then can you create marketing content that resonates with them and entices them to not just buy the book, but read it and apply your God-given message to their lives. 3. What are some other books in your genre or topic area that your audience might also enjoy reading?In other words, who is your competition? Too often, we tell ourselves there is no competition. But when we actually do the market research, we find that it's not exactly true. There are other books that speak to the same topic. Or, at the very least, there are other books out there that your target audience could view as a solution to their problem, even if they don't cover exactly what your book covers. Yes, your book might cover that topic in a fresh, new way. But remember, your target audience doesn't know the ins and outs of your book. They don't know you or your story. They don't even know the message that God has given you! All they know is what they see online, in bookstores, and on the cover of each book they come across.Everyone has competition. So one of the best things you can do for yourself and the success of your book is to acknowledge that fact up front and to really take a look at what other books your target audience might be considering. Then ask yourself how you can differentiate yourself from those other books. For example, say you've written a book on women's rights, and you want it to reach more people so they will support your mission for equal pay. There might be a lot of other books that someone interested in women's rights would read. But within this broad topic, you'll find different authors taking different, focused approaches like:Self-empowerment and personal transformation (e.g. how can you, as a woman, overcome challenges when the deck is stacked against you?)Social and political change (e.g. concrete strategies for effecting real-world change in the community)Specific aspects of social justice (e.g. gender equality or shedding light on the unique needs and perspectives of women within society)In this example, each of these books is focused on the same type of thing — helping you have a level playing field as a woman and inspiring you to take action — but they're all tackling it in different ways, because what resonates with one person may not resonate with another. Now think about the person you want to reach with your message. What are they looking for? Is what you have to offer what they are looking for?Here's a quick tip: check out your competitors' reviews. If there's something about those books that people really like, and you also have that in your book, be sure to highlight that in your marketing. On the other hand, if there's something people say they dislike about those books and you're confident your book does it better, then highlight that as well. Study your competition. Don't believe the lie that your target audience is automatically going to perceive your book as uniquely different — it's your job to convince them of that through your marketing. Know Your AudienceKnowing who your target audience is and what their desires are before you launch your book is critical. There are a lot of moving parts when it comes to launching a book, but when you don't have a clear understanding of your target audience and why they should care about your story, none of the other pieces matter. So be sure to take the time to prepare this foundation before you move a single step further in your book launch plans. Yes, a lot goes into launching a book, but if you take the time to follow the steps that we'll continue to explore in the Book Launch Success Secrets series, you will be well on your way. Ready to take the next step?

As HSPs, we are big-hearted people. For many of us, our parents, family, teachers and coaches didn't know what to make of our strong feeling nature. To get by, I learned to push down my emotions. Bypassing my feelings worked until I entered a more complicated phase of life and had to deal with roommates, serious relationships and a full-time job. I was often a big jumble of emotions, not sure how I felt. And when I knew what I felt, I didn't know if I had a right to say it. Worried that I would appear needy or high maintenance, I pulled away until my feelings just blew over and I got over it. But the problems kept festering under the surface with no real resolution, so they kept coming up repeatedly. Looking back, the first thing I needed was a way to make sense of my feelings. And no matter how much progress I've made with learning to be with my feelings, from time to time I'm still not sure what's happening with me emotionally. If you can relate and you're not sure how to make sense of what you're feeling and how to handle big emotions, then the latest episode is for you.In this episode, you will learn...Why emotions have been mislabeled as a liability by our culture How emotions can give you an advantageWhy it's hard to know what you're feeling as an HSP 7 ways to cope with your feelingsOne daily practice that will give you an edge for coping with feelingsThis episode will give you tools to handle big emotions and tap into your own resilience. If you have a question for me about something you hear on this podcast or want to suggest a topic for a future episode, email me at questions@happyhighlysensitivelife.com.Subscribe & ReviewIf you liked this episode, please rate and review The Happy Highly Sensitive Life Podcast on Apple Podcasts.

This podcast interview focuses on product innovation that has the power to give every brand a wealth of opportunities to grow trust with their customers. My guest is Boaz Grinvald, CEO of RevuzeBoaz is a serial entrepreneur, and this is the 5th company he’s managing. He loves building businesses and solving real-world problems. His background is in computer science, started his career in building out technology products but was always drawn to the business side.Today he’s the CEO of Revuze. They realized many analytical solutions on the market focus on what/when/how much consumers buy. However, 97% of consumers will walk away from a purchase to buy something else, and brands don’t know why. So this is Revuze’s mission to solve. This inspired me, and hence I invited Boaz to my podcast. We explore what’s broken in the world of understanding customer and consumer buying behaviour. We also talk about how to grow momentum by taking a counter intuitive approach to your Go-to-Market. And beyond that we discuss Boaz secrets to building a remarkable software business – and the lessons that he learned doing so.Here are some of his quotes:I once had a boss that said: ‘One man with conviction can make a difference’Until you get to hundreds of people, one man with conviction is the core of everything.I love the fact that you can create a business out of no business. And suddenly there's dozens of families that make a living off the business. To me, I think that's a big part of the magic.And obviously, the other part is changing the lives of the customers. When you hear customers that tell you that they get the job done within days that before took them maybe six months. That's like music.During this interview, you will learn four things:Why your SaaS solution shouldn’t give insights to users on ‘What’ happened, but that it’s in the ‘Why it happened’ where real value unlocksThat your value should not be about making business more efficient – but to provide them with a position of advantageWhy so many SaaS businesses undermine their potential by hanging on to business principles that are serve them more than their customers. Why we’re often too late in making the right personnel decisions – leaving the wrong people in the wrong place for too long and how no one wins doing soFor more information about the guest from this week:Boaz GrinvaldWebsite Revuze See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
