In each and every one of us, we have a story to tell. Growing up throughout our lives we all experience something, even from birth to childhood and your adult life. It's all there somewhere. Dig deep and you will discover something amazing. And when you make that choice, you can move forward to the next step.
Do you have some advice to sell or valuable information?
The first step is to choose your niche. Find something that a lot of people are interested in and will pay to learn more. You can do a google search to discover what is being searched the most daily. Jot down all of the ideas that you come up with for that title. This will help to determine the most saleable keywords for your topic. Next, you will need to begin building your product.
Expand your idea. Research and include your unique voice. Think about your audience.
I wish I can eventually publish a book of my own, even just online. Maybe a compilation of my essays will do for my first effort.
ReplyDeleteYes, good way to think. Compile all of your writings. That's the first step to a become a book publisher.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of self-publishing, too. I just need to conceptualize what the book is all about and build an audience. -katrina centeno
ReplyDeleteI used to dream about doing this. It seems like so much work, but nothing good isn't hard-earned right? :D
ReplyDelete@Sikat- That is the the best way to start off. In addition to searching and seeing what people are into. And once you get your ideas together then it will be easier.
ReplyDelete@Jason- You are right. You can do anything if you put your mind into it.
I came across your blog on one of the blogger promotion groups on Facebook. I'm loving the posts of yours I have read so far as I have been tossing around the idea of writing a mini e-book, but lack knowledge and motivation. The whole idea is scary! Anyways, thanks for the inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteKnowledge about the process of publishing, I should say. I totally know what I'm going to write about and have been working on an outline! ;)
Delete@Alicia- Thanks! I am glad it was inspiring for you and I totally understand where you are coming from. And yes, it's scary at first. Also, having the inspiration, being positive and allowing time to get it done then it will be a smooth transition.
DeleteGood luck with your book!
P.S.- If you would like more information then please feel free to email me from the contact box on the right side of the blog(top of the page).
I will remember to do that once I get everything written. I'd love to have some one-on-one advice/help since I'm really not sure where to start! Thanks!
DeleteTrue publishing nowadays is easy peasy. I have thought of doing so since I've got a lot of resources but just couldn't find the time. Besides, I need to learn a couple of things about publishing online.
ReplyDeleteI agree and you can do it!
DeleteI'm not a writer so I'm not interested about self-publishing, but I think your post is really interesting and useful. Thanks for sharing it with us.
