Podcasts about traditional publisher

Guest: Chandler Bolt   Guest Bio: Chandler Bolt is an investor, the CEO of SelfPublishing.com, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and the author of 7 bestselling books including his most recent book titled “Published.”. selfpublishing.com is an INC 5000 company the last 4 years in a row as one of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the US. Chandler is also the host of the 7 Figure Principles Podcast and the Self Publishing School Podcast. Through his books, podcasts, YouTube channels, and selfpublishing.com, he's helped thousands of people write a book that grows their income, impact, and business.   Key Points: Why Write a Book as a Business Owner? A book acts as a silent salesman. It helps you get leads, make sales, and generate referrals. A book builds authority. When you publish, you become an expert in the eyes of your audience, which increases your sales closing rate. How a Book Helps in the Sales Process It builds belief in your product or service, growing excitement and guiding prospects toward the next steps in your sales funnel. The book also simplifies the referral process, allowing you to encourage current customers to share the book with others. How to Start Writing Your Book Clarify your idea - focus on a topic that addresses a pain point, offers a promise, and aligns with your business goals. Use the "MORE" Writing Method: - Mind map: Brainstorm all ideas related to your book. - Outline: Organize your ideas into chapters. - Rough Draft: Write the first draft without worrying about perfection. - Editing: Revise the draft and hire an editor for quality. Chandler emphasizes consistency and accountability throughout the process to overcome challenges. Overcoming the "Rough Draft" Roadblock Getting the rough draft done is often the hardest part. Many people get stuck here, which delays their progress. Tip: If you're better at speaking than writing, try speaking your ideas out loud, having them transcribed, and repeating the process chapter by chapter. The key is to get it done, then polish it later with editing. Why Self-Publish Instead of Using a Traditional Publisher? Self-publishing gives you full control over your book: you retain the rights, royalties, and creative freedom. Traditional publishers often don't market your book—you're responsible for that, which makes self-publishing the better option for most entrepreneurs. How to Get an ROI from Your Book More Leads: Your book introduces your business to new people. It's a way to grow brand awareness and attract new prospects. More Sales: A book helps in the sales funnel by qualifying leads, handling objections, and establishing trust and authority. Chandler uses his book to attract registrants for webinars and close more deals. More Referrals: Give your book away to existing customers or prospects as a value add, making it easier for them to refer others to your business. The Power of Giving Away Your Book Give your book away for free: Giving away copies at conferences and through referrals brings in leads and can even generate revenue immediately. Referral programs: Offering books for free to others encourages people to refer your business to their network, helping expand your reach. Final Advice If you're thinking of writing a book but feel overwhelmed, start small by mind-mapping your ideas. Set aside just 15 minutes to brainstorm your key topic and stories. Remember: Done is better than perfect. Don't let the quest for perfection stop you from completing the draft. Be consistent: The book-writing process is long, but by staying accountable and following a step-by-step method, you'll create a valuable asset for your business.     Guest Links: Audio Book: Published: publishedbook.com/audio     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, 81 Tools to Grow Your Sales & Your Business Faster, More Easily & More Profitably.

Authors who aspire to getting picked up by a traditional publisher should find an agent first, given that about 80 percent of books from publishing houses are sold by agents.  Agents are the ones with relationships with editors, developed carefully over the years. An agent knows what a publisher is looking for, and how to present an author and their work to a publisher  But how do you get an agent, and what exactly is their role, apart from—of course—sending your work to the right publisher?  An Agent Does Much More Than Connect Authors With Publishers  Wendy Keller, owner of the highly successful Keller Media, answers these questions and more in this episode.  Speaking to Published Author host Josh Steimle, Wendy explains that today's literary agent acts like a business consultant for an author. The agent will spend time working with an author on the book idea and, in some instances, will help with their book proposal.  “Curating the content and pre-determining the content's marketability are really important factors,” explains Wendy. “It's my responsibility to determine whether a book is going to be successful once it hits the marketplace. So I'm gauging the author's platform, which is an indicator of whether or not the book will be successful.”  Keller Media is a literary agency, speaker's bureau, and content marketing consultancy focused on nonfiction, business, science and self-help content. Keller Media has placed more than 1800 book deals all over the world, including 17 New York Times bestsellers and nine international bestsellers.  Wendy, who has been an agent for almost 30 years, has published more than 30 books, including the bestselling Ultimate Guide To Platform Building and the Secrets Of Successful Negotiating for Women.  Agents specialize in building relationships with editors who eventually acquire an author's manuscript. For this reason, focus on one or two genres, and in Keller Media's case they represent authors of business, science, and self-help books—nothing else.   How To Find An Agent  There are different ways of finding an agent who can sell your book to a publisher. Here are some methods:  Reach out to your contacts and ask if they know any good agents. Be sure to thoroughly research any referrals  Carry out your own research. Look at who the agent has published and the categories in which they specialize. Don't send a query about a self-help book to an agent who specializes in education.  Jane Freidman, a publishing expert with expertise in business strategy for authors and publishers, recommends taking out a one-month subscription to PublishersMarketPlace.com. It will give you a fast education into what the publishing world is like, and is one of the best places to find an agent.  Hire someone to help you find an agent. CopyWriteConsultants.com is a good place to start.    Authors Get Published Based On Their Ability To Market Their Book  Wendy says the corporatization of the publishing industry means that today traditional publishing is about the author's ability to promote the book.  “I used to say it's 90 percent platform 10% content. Just like everything goes from extreme to extreme, at this point I would say it's 25% content and 75% platform, platform being jargon for your ability to sell the book.”  Platform is about the number of people who are engaging with you and how big your fanbase is growing.   Why Go With a Traditional Publisher?  According to Wendy, the main reason to work with a traditional publisher is the number of people involved in the process, along with their experience, qualifications, and knowledge. A publisher will spend time fleshing out an author's idea, so that they are sure the book will be competitive.  “You have this opportunity to be supported, to have your editorial content vetted and approved by many people in the process,” Wendy says.   “You have access to marketing backgrounds like mine and the publisher's that are far more extensive than anything you will ever get from any of the self-publisher hybrid houses. I'm familiar with that model. In some cases, it's the right thing. But in most cases, it's not because the work is going to be inferior and the marketing is going to be slapdash.”  Next, while an author-entrepreneur is working on their book, a publisher is busy preparing the market. For example, they can approach Amazon to let them know that a big business is set to be published, and Amazon will buy according to the expectations of the salesperson.   Working with a publisher means that there's a system in place working for the author, ensuring that the supply and resources are working for the online and bricks and mortar outlets.   The Importance Of a Book Proposal  A book proposal is essential in the world of traditional publishing. A proposal for a book is to the publishing industry what a business proposal is to a venture capitalist, explains Wendy. She says: “You're trying to get a stranger to write a check for your idea, it's got to be such a precise document.  Wendy can tell after reading the first two or three paragraphs of a proposal whether a book idea is strong. Even if an author has a great idea, if their proposal is weak and doesn't answer all the questions editorial, sales, and marketing will ask, a publisher will likely reject the proposal.  Some agents, Wendy included, help authors write their book's proposal. Wendy also assists with building parts of an author's platform that will either turn them into a paid speaker, bring more consulting revenue, or bring customers to their product or service—whatever it is that they're selling.   In fact, says Wendy, today's literary agent acts like a business consultant with an author. They spend time working with an author on the book idea and then their proposal. Next, a publisher will spend time and money on fleshing out an author's idea so that it is truly competitive.  Owner of Bookproposalworkshop.com, Wendy teaches authors how to write amazing proposals. Without a strong proposal you won't sell a book, unless you're world famous, then maybe you can get away without having a proposal  One of Wendy's client's is nationally famous and worked in Donald Trump's government, and even he has to write a proposal for his book, so there's no way around a proposal.   For the book proposal workshops, Wendy brings in a team of proven New York editors and goes over the ‘Why' of an author's book. She explains: “A lot of times authors don't understand how the publishers are looking from their perspective at the content that's coming in.”  In this episode, Wendy also talks about:  The key aspects of an author's platform that must be developed well before their book is written  How previously self-published authors tend to fail when they seek a traditional publisher  Author success stories  How the growth of Amazon has shrunk the advances publishers will offer  Why Wendy selects one publisher over another when pitching a book  Why she will occasionally decide to work with an author who doesn't have a platform but whose book will contribute positively to society.    Learn more: If you appreciated this episode, listen to:  Make Writing Your Nonfiction Book Your Top Priority  And:  No Agent, No Followers, But She Still Landed a Book Deal  LINKS  LinkedIn  LinkedIn - Keller Media  KellerMedia.com/webinars  StrategicVisabilityMarketing.com  KellerMedia.com/query  BookProposalWorkshop.com   SUBSCRIBE TO THE PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.

Many people are waiting for “someday” to write their book but someday isn’t a day on the calendar. More often than not it takes a cataclysmic event for people to make their book a priority. But it doesn’t need to be that way. You simply have to make the decisions that your book is your priority. The journey and process of writing your book is the perfect opportunity to build your following and audience. By including your followers you build a core group of people who have been involved in your metamorphosis as an entrepreneur into a thought leader.   Resources Mentioned: Lifestyle Entrepreneur-http://lifestyleentrepreneurblog.com/ Best Sellers Summit Online-http://bestsellersummitonline.com/ Author to Entrepreneur Experience- http://authortoentrepreneurexperience.com/ If you enjoyed this episode please leave a review.  Also lets connect on Instagram if we haven't yet.
