You can do magic
Someone once said that “Recycling turns things into other things. Which is like MAGIC.”
Well, if you’ve been creating content based on your expertise for any length of time, you are a Manuscript Magician in the making.
You don’t need to start your short book from scratch. You can mine this existing content you've created and repurpose it for your book!
Let me share an example. Let’s say that I wanted to write a short book about why short books are a great way to build your business. Do you remember what last week’s series of posts were about?
Yep, you got it: Why you should write a short book!
I could easily recycle some, possibly even all, of what I wrote to help me flesh out the outline I created for the book!
Once you’ve got your roadmap, you can look at all the content you’ve created so far:
• Blog posts
• Webinars
• Interviews
• Social media posts
• Emails you’ve sent
• Lead magnets you’ve created
And look for stuff you’ve already written that fits into that framework.
It is quite possible that you’ve already written your book and didn’t even know it!
Abracadabra! You’re a Manuscript Magician!
Now, if you find that you can’t use this past content, or it doesn’t cover all the points in your framework, or you’ve never been a content creator, I’ve still got your back. Tomorrow I’ll share some techniques you can use to write your book without recycling past content.
