Learn how to write and self-publish a book to build your personal brand with the help of Ryan Deiss’s Kindle Publishing Revolution.
Writing and publishing a book remains the best strategy for building your personal brand. Writing a book establishes you as an expert in your field, instantly differentiating you from your competition and opening the door for new opportunities.
Writing and self-publishing can be the first step in building personal connections with clients, prospects, and influencers in your field. It also forms the basis of a strong press and social media strategy.
Writing a book worked for me, (see Personal Branding Helps Make Every Day Independence Day), it worked for the hundreds of author’s I’ve interviewed, and it can work for you…with one important difference…
Today, it’s easier than ever to write your way to a personal brand
The only thing that’s changed since I created my personal brand by writing my first book is that it’s become easier and easier to write and publish a book!
The trade publishing and bookstore gatekeepers have lost their stranglehold on publishing.
Today, there are just 2 requirements for successfully building your brand by writing and publishing:
- You have to write as efficiently as possible. You have to manage your time and avoid the traps that often trap the unwary, such as lack of planning, procrastination, failure to market, and the trap of perfectionism.
- You also have to leverage the latest technology. In particular, you have to take advantage of the latest self-publishing platforms, like ebook publishing with the the Amazon Kindle. You have to break the “bestseller” and bookstore” mindset.
