22. Promote, Profit, Publish
Promote, Profit, Publish! Become the world authority you always knew you could be. You know it. We know it.
And this is how the rest of the world catches up.Most authors get it wrong. They put the wrong steps in the wrong order, pinning all of their hopes, dreams, and money on the sale of the book. Experts on authority marketing know that publishing elevates your customer base in ways that are impossible through any other mechanism. In short, you establish yourself as the world authority on your topic first, creating a trust between you and your audience that allows you to write, and sell, whatever you want with ease and flow. Step one of this process takes your investment and cycles it right back into you, your image, your platform, your global presence. You can't afford to keep the curtain closed. Your ticket to freedom is to position yourself as the go-to expert on your topic by way of your personal truth before you even attempt to sell a book.The truth….If you're only about the money honey you're in the wrong place. Platform building works, every time, because you pride yourself on authenticity. You build a social, global platform that is a transmutation of your soul and message. Your audience needs to experience a level of trust in you that is staggering (and rare) in today's saturated, over-promising/under-delivering digital age. You can't afford to blend in. Why do it backward and end up with an inventory of books in your basement and a negative balance in your account? Here's what many publishing companies say vs. what they actually mean; 'Become a best-selling author! (For like, a minute)… 'Make money from your book! (But remember, you can't keep it)…'Make your author dreams come true! (ish…)You want to make a difference and an income. This is how you do it. As an authority on your topic, you'll be positioned as a sought-after speaker and trusted teacher. Fans will find you, follow you and wait for you to offer them something. And you'll have it ready to go. The result…..You've done it. They know you. They love you. The time has come to give the people what they want- your book! Most publishing and book marketing companies take more than they give. Period.
