AUTHOR = AUTHORITY

This letter is for you if you’re dreaming of writing a book in 2025 or any time soon.

Start early because writing a book worth reading can take anything from 12 to 24 months.

Concerning your manuscript, create a writing rhythm – and a pact with yourself.

Make sure you write 1 to 3 pages minimum every day – without fail.

At that rate, you’d write 180 to 540 pages in 6 months – more than enough for your first book.

To start with, create an OUTLINE – to help structure your thoughts.

I like using old-school brainstorming to create an OUTLINE.

If you’re the adventurous type, ChatGPT and DeepSeek can aid in the process.

But beware you don’t lose focus given the gazillion ideas you can get from AI.

With your OUTLINE in place, focus single-mindedly on writing to get your manuscript done and dusted.

This is the old school approach to getting a book as an Indie (independent creator).

If you follow this approach, chances are your book will come out and you won’t have readers.

To fix the readers angle, see to it you build a community ahead of publishing your book.

What I’ve found out is this – marketing a book is far harder than writing one.

So, focus on marketing (audience creation) as much as you focus on writing.

Thanks to social media (LinkedIn, FB, X, Instagram) and YouTube, you can build an audience fast.

Consider spending 12 – 18 months building an audience and a fan base.

If you do, it will be a time well spent.

If you look at Alex Hormozi of $100M OFFERS and $100M LEADS fame, his trump card is his audience.

See to it you do the same – build a fanbase.

So, you’re going to be writing and building your audience at the same time.

Once your manuscript is ready, get it edited to perfection and you’re almost good to go.

The interior formatting of your book should be handled with meticulous care.

An intelligent and creative graphic designer should do your cover designs.

With your book in hand and a raving fan base, you’re ready to launch your book to the world.

Orchestrating the launch of your book is both art and science – get expert help.

There is more to profiting from a book than what I’ve shared here.

Attending BWC to learn how to build an “Expert Empire” out of your book is a worthwhile investment.

With an investment as low as $100 you can get BWC (Book Writing Clinic) and position yourself to win as an author.
