Click Here to ask your book writing and publishing questions!You've probably heard the phrase “your book is your business card.” While it sounds cute for a Canva graphic, it totally downplays the blood, sweat, and editing tears that go into creating a book that actually matters. We're not here for books that gather dust—we're here for books that make an impact (and, at the very least, pay for lunch).If you're dreaming of launching a book that does more than take up space in your trunk, this episode with Naren Aryal, CEO and publisher of Amplify Publishing Group, is for you! Inside this episode:

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.

In this week's episode he talks to me about how Amplify Publishing Group developed from a single title to one of the world's leading business imprints, the unique goals and expertise of business authors, and why it's so important that you're clear on the target market for your book. (Spoiler alert: it's not 'everyone'.)

There's a Book Inside You (ft. Naren Aryal, CEO, Amplify Publishing Group)Naren Aryal on publishing and profiting from your passions OPENING QUOTE:“I advocate for sharing as broadly and as widely as possible. When you do that, you get the benefit of their review, their response, and more importantly, there are questions that are going to challenge you.”—Naren AryalGUEST BIO:As CEO of Amplify Publishing Group, Naren Aryal advises industry experts and thought leaders on the opportunities and challenges that exist in the ever-evolving world of publishing. He launched a company with a single title in 2003 and guided it to become one of the fastest growing and most respected hybrid publishing companies in the world. Prior to entering the world of books, Naren worked as a lawyer, advising tech companies in the DC area, and is now a frequent speaker on all things publishing and author branding.Show Links:Executive BioEmail: Naren@amplifypublishinggroup.comCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[20:13] - The Power of the One PagerWhere an idea begins its transformation into a bookHave an idea but don't know how to turn it into a book? Naren advises starting with a one-pager. This is a single sheet of paper or Word document that contains: Proposed titleProposed subtitle5-6 sentences about what the book is; its “big idea”2-3 sentences about target market1-2 comparable booksThis one pager can then be shown to people whose opinions you trust to receive feedback, guidance, and inspiration. Now you have a launch pad for your book.[24:44] - The Subtitle's Essential RoleYour contract with your readerNaren stresses the importance of a book's subtitle, calling it “the contract you make with a potential reader where you tell the reader what the book is and the value it's going to deliver.”A subtitle should be clear, catchy, and attention-grabbing. It should answer, “What's in it for me?” If your readers don't believe that their life, business, or career is going to level up because they took the time to read your book, then you don't stand a chance. As Paul says, “You've lost the game before kickoff.”[32:42] - Framing Your BookUnderstanding and communicating your big ideaFraming your book and its central idea is essential to differentiate it from the hundreds of leadership books written every year. Your unique take should follow the 80/20 rule— 80% of what you say should fit into what people generally already believe, with 20% encompassing the brand-new, innovative, transformative ideas that are unique to you. It's the “spoonful of sugar” concept— give people something that will shake them out of their comfort zone by delivering it in concepts they're already comfortable with accepting.[40:44] - Feedback: The Lifeblood of New AuthorsDon't hide away in a basement until your book is doneNaren is an advocate for sharing your one-pager, early drafts, and book ideas as broadly and as widely as possible, particularly with people you respect. When you do, you get the benefit of their review, their feedback, and questions they can ask that will challenge you. This process is extremely revealing and is the major step in turning that one-pager into a 10-page outline, then a rough draft, and finally a completed manuscript.RESOURCES:[1:52] The Power of Playing Offense[1:52] Amplify Publishing GroupFollow Naren:Email: Naren@amplifypublishinggroup.comFollow Paul:Keynote Speaking WebsitePlaymakers PodcastThe Power of Playing OffenseLinkedInFacebookTwitterInstagramYoutubeSHOW PARTNER:The WHY InstituteAre you ready to find your ‘why'?

Between the Lines (ft. Naren Aryal)Exploring the fusion point where books & speaking meetOPENING QUOTE:“Hey look, here's 10 titles and here are the high level takeaways from each of the 10. Where does your book fit in? And if you can't tell me exactly how it's different, how it's unique in this space, then we've got some work to do on conceptualizing your book.”-Naren AryalGUEST BIO:Naren Aryal is founder and CEO of Amplify Publishing Group. Though not a speaker himself, Aryal has helped publish thousands of books— including many for leaders in the speaking industry. Links:Official BioCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[4:38] - One Industry, Three ModelsOptions for speakers who want to get publishedWant to get published? You have three paths— traditional publishers, self-publishers, and hybrid publishers. Self-publishing is a route that allows for maximum independence and allows you to keep nearly all your royalties. But it also means that everything falls to you to either do yourself or outsource— cover design, editorial, marketing, book distribution, etc. Traditional publishing requires a higher barrier of entry, but the potential for success can be greater. Finally, hybrid publishing combines elements of both, offering a suite of practical services but letting authors keep more of their royalties.[9:24] - Turning Royalties in Your FavorEarn more for your workUnderstanding royalties is essential for managing a publishing career— including how they influence whether to self-publish. Everything from publishing advances to royalty splits and out-of-pocket costs should be considered before moving forward on your path.[14:32] - Planning Your Book— and BeyondWhat to prepare for in advanceOne of Naren's best tips is that you should start acting like you have a book to sell, because if you wait until the end to market yourself and your ideas, it's too late. Successful authors have done the legwork to establish relationships, get people interested and invest in what they have to say. Once you make the ask to buy a book, it's much more authentic and effective.[16:06] - Common Mistakes to AvoidWhat new authors do wrong— and how to make it rightOne of the most common publishing mistakes for speakers? Not knowing who their audience is. And, for the record, “everybody” isn't an acceptable answer. You have to define your target market early, often before you even begin writing.RESOURCES:[3:50] Amplify Publishing Group[20:07] The Rise of AudiobooksFollow Naren Aryal:Official BioFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Brought to you by eSpeakers, hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.
