Bloggers are Writers and Authors, too!
Bloggers are writers who publish their own work consistently on their websites. Often bloggers become authors. Additionally, authors need to become bloggers, since a blog provides one of the most important tools in their platform building and book marketing toolkit. Blogging also is a way to develop author expert status.
If you struggle with the following blog-related challenges, Author Coaching can help you overcome them:
You don’t know how to begin blogging.
You don’t know what to blog about or how to tie your blog to your book ideas.
You don’t know how to drive clients, customers, or readers to your blog.
You don’t know how to promote your book with a blog.
You don’t know how to repurpose your blog posts into a book or some other useful product or promotional tool.
You don’t know how to drive traffic to your blog.
You want to blog a book but are not sure how to start.
You want to “book” your blog but feeling overwhelmed by the immensity of the job.
You feel overwhelmed by the idea of blogging but know you must blog to succeed in your career or business.
You want to use your blog to create expert status or branding.
Ready to Get Your Book or Blog Out of Your Head?
Writer and non-writers can write a book. You just might need a little help getting started. Speakers, coaches, entrepreneurs, CEOs, lawyers, psychics . . . whatever your profession or leaning, you can become a successful author as well.
We will provide a proven strategy based on the steps necessary to create a business plan for your book. It’s our dream to see you publish a book that is marketable. We want your book to sell. If it sells, it gets read. If it gets read, the book has the impact you desire. For that to happen, you need to start with a business plan.
Of course, we help you get your book out of your head and onto paper. We support you as you map out your content, organize it into a detailed table of contents, and then write your manuscript – even if you aren’t a writer. You will get all the support, encouragement and cheerleading as you take on the multitude of tasks necessary to become a successful author.
No one can make you sit down and write, but if you have the desire to actually start and complete a writing project, we can help you accomplish this goal through weekly phone consultations, check-ins, brainstorming sessions, consultations, feedback, accountability and exercises. We also have numerous ideas for how to write a book fast using the little time you might have in your busy schedule.
