Podcasts about better business book

In today's episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, our host Peter Winick is joined by Bill Sherman, co-host and COO of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Dr. AJ Marsden, an organizational psychologist and statistician, Josh Bernoff, author of Build a Better Business Book, Marissa Eigenbrood, President of Smith Publicity, Inc., Alison Schwartz, COO of Gotham Ghostwriters, and Naren Aryal of Amplify Publishing Group. They discuss the findings of their recent research into the Return on Investment of publishing a business book. In today's presentation we will have a first look at the data that was gathered from hundreds of authors about their experiences getting published, the expenses incurred, and the results the book had on their business. These authors were reached through not only the friends and colleagues at Thought Leadership Leverage but those from many supporting sponsors such as Greenleaf Book Group, Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coaches, Page Two Books, and Zilker Media to name a few. Before the research could even begin we had to ask the questions "What is ROI?  How can you measure it?  How much does an author spend? What is the effect of different publishing models?  And what type of returns do authors see? In answering these questions we explore what the data tells us about the three different publishing models (Traditional, Hybrid, and Self Publishing), the role RP and Ghostwriters can play in the success of each. We also investigate the hard and soft costs involved in writing a book and what the returns could look like.  While many expect the sales of the book to account for much of their profit, we learn how using the book as a key part of a platform and gateway to other parts of the business is where real impact can be found. More questions will be asked and answered in the white paper that will be released in September as we continue to pour over the data.

A lot of thought leaders have written books, eager to get their insights out into the world. Yet many start the task without having a well-defined plan for what comes next!   Our guest today has literally written the book on writing thought leadership books! “Build a Better Business Book: How to Plan, Write and Promote a Book That Matters” is the work of the amazing Josh Bernoff, and we can't think of a better person to help nonfiction authors succeed. In order to help authors find success, they first have to understand what that means to them. Josh explains how success can look differently to each author and often is unrelated to the quantity of books sold.  Success can take the form of launching a speaking career, generating leads, or purely having a book that makes you the authority in your field. Once you know what sort of success you want, you'll need to plan beyond the book. Josh shares how many authors don't look beyond the launch of their book and become disappointed when nothing happens. However, those that properly promote their book, and have scalable plans in place for after the book is launched, can take their business to the next level. If you have an idea for a book, but you're not sure if it checks the boxes of "big, right, and new," then this episode will guide you on your journey. Three Key Takeaways: ·         For authors the success of a book is typically not measured in sales but in the additional business generated from the book. ·         Before you publish a book have a plan to define yourself beyond the book. ·         Tradition, hybrid, and self-publishing all have pros and cons.  You have to understand the needs of your book to find the right fit.

"Unless you have a way to differentiate, then you don't really have any sort of justification for putting out yet another book." There's not much Josh Bernoff doesn't know about writing business books. And he knows that differentiation is everything. Whether it's your unique perspective or a groundbreaking solution, finding your distinctive edge makes all the difference.  He also encourages authors to think of their book as a pivotal part of a larger ecosystem - and to create a sense of immediacy right up front to capture engagement. This conversation is a treasure trove of actionable advice and profound insights, a must-listen for anyone aspiring to write a business book that makes a difference.

From time to time people find out in conversation that I'm a published author. It's a monicker and fact that sits in my social media bios and certainly something I say proudly on my website and such, but it's not something that typically comes up on conversation. When it does, I get asked a lot of questions about it. Writing a book certainly had a big impact on my professional credibility and personal brand. Though anyone with an idea and the Internet, and maybe a little bit of money, can self-publish, all three of my books have been with legit, business publishing houses. For Winfluence, I even had an agent to help me shop the book around. As an aside, I love the sound of saying, “My agent will get back to you,” and having one sounds like a big deal. I love ya, Gary, but in reality, it's not as big of a deal as you might think. It's like having a real estate agent for your ideas. Nonetheless, people are curious about writing books. Content creators should be. For the influencer types out there, writing a book takes you to a new level of legitimacy and credibility. If you're not an influencer but still want to write a book, the hard truth is you're going to need an audience to market it to if you want a publisher to pay attention to your idea.  All those nuances of writing books, or at least business books, stuck in Josh Bernoff's crawl, as they say where I'm from. Josh has three published titles to his name including the groundbreaking book Groundswell he co-authored with Charlene Li. But he's collaborated on, ghost written or been involved with 45 non-fiction book projects.  His latest is a new how-to guide that cuts through the fantasy and makes writing a book a very practical thing. It's called Build a Better Business Book: How to Plan, Write and Promote a Book That Matters. Sounds a little like the advice we got from Jay Acunzo recently on the show, right? Josh is here today to share his comprehensive guide for authors to help you write a better book. Or write your first one in a better way. We're going to dig into whether or not you should be an author, how to be a good one and where books fall into the schema of influence success for creators and brands.  This episode of Winfluence is presented by CIPIO.ai.

We live in an age where everything needs to be fast, easy, and in high volume. I've seen people say, “I'm going to write 8 books this year.” Josh Bernoff thinks that's a load of crap. See, if you want to write a good book, just like anything of quality, you need to spend time on it. Josh's new book, Build a Better Business Book, is a master class on how to do that. And today, he's giving us the best parts of that book. In the PRO show, things get real as we talk more about the charlatans of writing, as well as ghostwriting.Top Takeaways To write a good book, your idea has to be big, right, and new. This will make it distinguishable from everything else, and increase your impact and influence.  A good business book consists of two things: answers to reader questions, and case studies. Your book is nothing if you don't have case studies to back up your claim. Are you a planner, or a panter? Panters write by the seat of their pants, which creates a long, rambling, incoherent book. Planners start with what Josh calls a “fat outline,” so they know the story they're telling before they ever put pen to page.
