A book sets you apart from all the other guys in your field.
Becoming a published author has so many great benefits for any business owner. I know this personally because my business improved dramatically ever since I published my book “Six-Minute Miracle Journal”. Yes sure a lot of people will agree that becoming a published author has its advantages. But let me break it down here and hopefully convince you to take the time and effort to write your own book. Trust me, it’s worth it.
5 Amazing Reasons That Will Convince You To Get Published
1. You will gain instant credibility.
Have you ever experienced difficulty in making customers trust you enough to make a purchase? Well a book can solve that. When you become an author, people instantly see you as someone who is trustworthy and an authority in your field of expertise. Think about it, all experts have published books don’t they?
2. You will have a powerful re-marketing tool.
Your book is an advertisement, content marketing, and business card all in one package. The best part is that your customers will not throw away your book unlike a business card. We all know that 4 out of 5 times a business card ends in the trash bin. Your customers get reminded of you every time they see your book. All the better when they share it with friends!
3. You will have a great ice-breaker.
When you are introducing yourself to a potential client for the first time, why not give them a free copy of your book? Seriously, how cool is that? You will definitely get a higher chance of winning the client and build a good relationship with them.
4. You will stand out.
After I published my book, I started receiving messages like “Hi, I saw your book. I’m interested in your service. Can we set up a meeting?”. When before those clients would have just ignored me and chosen the other supplier, now they are asking for a meeting after seeing my book. A book sets you apart from all the other guys in your field.
5. You will open up more opportunities.
What’s next after becoming a published author? With a solid proof that you are an authority in your field, it’s no surprise if you get featured and invited in speaking engagements. I always say workshops and seminars are another great way to build a good relationship with your customers and community. A book will start opening doors for you on how to expand your business further.
With all the great reasons I mentioned above, how can any entrepreneur pass up the chance to become a published author? The thing is a lot of people want to get published but they think they can’t do it. Next week I will share the common misconceptions about publishing a book and the truth behind them.
