How to Publish a Book in 2023: A Step-by-Step Guide
A few decades ago, getting published hinged more on being well connected and lucky than sheer writing talent. Unless you were in the same league as J.K Rowling (who herself had to face numerous rejections initially), being published was almost next to impossible.
The digital age has revolutionized the publishing scene and shifted the power to writers instead of just a few traditional publishing companies. It has also leveled the playing field for all authors – seasoned or beginners.
The reason behind this transformation? Self-publishing.
Here are the essentials of self-publishing.
Advantages of Self-publishingHigher ProfitSelf-publishing is more cost-efficient because it’s usually by print-on-demand scheme, so there’s no overhead, massive printing, and warehousing costs involved.
Greater ControlThere is nobody to tell you your book doesn’t deserve to be published or cause you to compromise your artistic liberty as a writer. And, you can publish as many books as you can write and as often as you want.
Limitless PossibilitiesThere are more possibilities to grow your brand as an author. Unlike traditional publishers that market only bestselling authors, you can do as much marketing work to promote it as you can.
Steps to Self-Publishing Your Book1. Clarify the PurposeIt’s essential to know the ‘why’ behind your book project. Whether it’s to build an asset for a passive income, establish authority as an expert, build your business, or diversify and add income streams – these are legitimate reasons that help you map out your path.
2. Choose Your TopicNarrow down your topic to something you know deeply about and truly advocate for. If you have no idea yet, try searching the bestselling books on Amazon or Kindle and check their categories to help you decide on a specific topic for a niche audience.
3. Start WritingStart making drafts. Make it informative and value-adding to your reader through research or interviews. Being authentic, diligent, and genuinely helpful will help you find the right words to tell your story and make an impact.
4. Market Your Book by Building AnticipationYou can start promoting your book early by building interest around it. Build a launch team and offer a unique free book offer to those who will sign up for your call to action.
5. Use a Catchy TitleTitling your book after writing the draft gives you more room to flesh out your topic instead of being constrained to your early title.
6. Hire an Editor and Cover DesignerA sloppy book cover design or awkward sentence structures can make your book appear amateurish and less appealing. You can hire affordable and professional freelancers on Fiverr and Upwork. Be sure to check and verify their portfolios first.
7. Format Your BookEither hire a professional to do this or DIY it through resources available on online platforms and communities like KDP or Atticus.io.
8. Complete the Self-publishing ProcessFill in requirements like ISBN, author bio, book size, paper type, categories, keywords, etc. The process varies based on the platform.
9. Set the PriceCheck similar books online and use that as a guide to pricing your book. You can also set a launch price to sell your book at a discounted price for a limited period to promote it.
10. Reach Out to Readers and InfluencersYou can tap your launch team to help generate sales by giving them free offers. This will help boost your book’s visibility and ranking and drive sales.
11. Plan Your Next StepPublishing your book is just the beginning. Depending on the purpose defined in step 1, you can map out the next phase of your journey. Expand your business network and engage your audience by creating a YouTube channel or an online community- the opportunities are limitless.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Do you recall in your youth when your parents would tell you not to touch something very hot? You stared right into their eyes, your index finger pointing straight out toward the object you were not to make contact with, and as your hand slowly continued its journey…your parents continued to give you disapproving looks. They once again repeated the verbal warning. Yet in spite of knowing this action could result in pain or punishment, or both…you touched it!
Why did we disobey the wisdom of our parents, or the logic that there might be dangerous or negative consequences of our actions? Fast forward to today and as an adult, the same scenario gets repeated over and over when it comes to your financial decision-making. So, why do we do what we do with money?

5 Common Mistakes Made While Publishing a Book
Whether you have spent months or years writing your book, you have likely spent significant time researching every detail, and giving countless hours of editing and rewriting. And now that you have the opportunity to get published, you think all the work is done.
But this is the first mistake that writers and first-time authors make. Once your book is published, you have just reached the first stage in the process of reaching your target audience and making them read your book. Don’t make these five mistakes when it comes to publishing your book.
Here are the five most common mistakes writers make while publishing a book.1. Not Getting an EditorMost first-time writers who want to self-publish their work try to save money by not getting an editor. However, this is a mistake that would affect the quality of your book.
Writers should find a competent editor to review their book before publication. A second pair of eyes will find new ways to improve your book and make it more exciting or interesting.
2. Not Cultivating Your Target AudienceAuthors must discuss their work with their target audience before it is published. Cultivating your target audience makes them anticipate your book, which could increase sales when it is released.
Discussing your works in progress with fans also becomes a marketing tool. The interest could also attract those interested in the genre but not aware of your work.
You can use social media to share details and excerpts and even set up impromptu readings to generate interest as the publication date nears.
3. Not Exploring Publishing OptionsMost first-time writers often think there is only one way to get published. But these days, there are many options for writers. They can explore self-publishing, or use a blog or website to start their writing journey.
Many companies can help your publishing journey, so explore all your options.
4. Not Identifying Your Genre or NicheMost writers should know the genre or niche they want to join. However, many writers do not know enough. It’s best to explore the most popular niches in your chosen genre and study the common tropes and ideas often used here.
This would give you an idea how you could make your book unique but still fit within that niche.
5. Hurrying the Publishing ProcessIf you try to speed up the process of printing your book, you will find more mistakes in the text. You will also see a lot of incorrect data when you market your book, which could affect how your target audience reacts to your work.
If you are ready to publish your book and don’t want to commit these mistakes, contact Elite Online Publishing to get the best guidance and support an author can receive. We’ll have you covered with our #1 Bestselling Author guarantee. Apply today!

It’s a philosophy that she holds close to her in both her personal life and her business successes.
After taking courses with some of the top professors in the world to become proficient in business, innovation, and leadership, Sabrina started her career at American Income Life and quickly rose as a top 10 producer in her first year and continuously broke records.

Sabrina loves working with strong people and is proud to say that everyone at L.L.O.Y.D. Agencies pushes her physically, mentally, relationally, and spiritually to be the leader that she is today. The most important thing to her is to be able to think for yourself—to change, grow, and separate from the pack. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. It’s where creativity and freedom truly exist.
Sabrina’s newest endeavor, writing, has manifested itself in her first book, Stand Alone: How to Be an Extraordinary Leader. She takes her experience as a self-made successful business leader to guide her readers on how to live a life of significance and influence. Sabrina hopes that this book will change her readers’ mindsets on how they see themselves, and to realize that they have unlimited power within themselves that can be tapped into by just learning how to think differently.
When she’s not working, Sabrina enjoys traveling, reading, and cooking. She is a student by nature and loves learning any new skill that she can think of. More than anything, she loves being a mother to her three beautiful children.

New Publishing Trends in 2023
The world of publishing is constantly evolving, and the upcoming years will bring some exciting new trends for authors and entrepreneurs. Publishing in 2023 will look different than it does now, with exciting innovations that could change how we write, promote, and distribute books. As an author or entrepreneur looking to get ahead in this industry, it’s important to stay on top of these trends and be ready to adapt. In this blog post, we’ll highlight some of the top publishing trends to watch for in 2023.
The writing industry is undergoing a revolution with the innovative use of AI technology. As the power of AI continues to grow and develop, authors are turning to AI technology for assistance in their writing process. Since ChatGPT’s widespread usage and popularity, numerous tools are available for writers, which can help improve creative output, conquer writer’s block, and generate unique book promotion concepts. Even bigger tech names like Google and Apple have joined the fray now with software capable of producing audiobooks narrated by AI.
Audio ContentAudiobooks are only going to increase in popularity over the next few years. Well known companies like Amazon, Audible, and Apple are investing more in audiobooks and other audio related technology. Additionally, podcasts such as our Elite Expert Insider Podcast, will be a key outreach method for new authors as more people turn to audio based content.
Social Media MarketingSpeaking of new forms of content, you might consider joining the millions of readers and authors participating in #booktok. This topic has billions of views on TikTok, and publishers are taking notice. Last year, TikTok and Barnes & Noble Kicked off their #BookTokChallenge designed to connect the leading voices of the community with in store sales. Anyone with the right plan can grow their influence and attract readers by making videos and publishing them across social media platforms.
New VoicesOne of the biggest trends of the past few years has been the diversity among the stories that are told and the authors that write them. The Time’s Most Anticipated Book List is a prime example of the range of stories that are being highlighted in the current publishing market. With the addition of social media trends like #booktok it is more possible than ever to get your book off the ground.
Hybrid-PublishingA new trend emerging in the publishing industry is hybrid publishing, where authors are given more control over the publishing process. With hybrid publishing, authors work with a publishing company (Elite Online Publishing is a great example) that offers an array of packages, from editing, marketing to distribution. This new business model allows authors to retain control over their intellectual property and share in the profits, making this an affordable and profitable approach for authors.
NFT PublishingNFT publishing has already made a mark in 2022. Publishing your book as an NFT is a great way to diversify your method of publishing. Blockchain technology has the potential to provide a more transparent and secure way to distribute and sell digital content, ensuring that authors get paid fairly, and their intellectual property is protected. We recognize the significance of this incredible technology and have even started publishing NFT books.
