About this episode
If you're thinking about writing an authority building book, and I really hope you are, and you don't want to be counting pennies or checking your book sales all the time, you actually want a book that's going to change your life, I can tell you how. Just go to sevenfigurebooks.com. I'm not trying to capture your email or anything. You can just download this PDF that's going to tell you exactly how to turn an authority building book into revenue, speaking, authority, and no exaggeration, a whole new life.
This solo episode is focused on the seven biggest mistakes first-time authors make. They are:
- Skimping on cover design
- Not optimizing book descriptions
- Not have a reason why/CTA
- Slacking on editing
- Not gathering reader reviews
- Not getting that it's not about them
- Listening to people who give bad advice once the book is written
Listen to get all the deets!
