Self-publish Like a Business Owner + Giveaway
In an earlier post, I mentioned merging my pseudonym with my real name. What that means for you is a heads up for a giveaway I’m hosting through Backbone America. What is this giveaway all about? A few free coaching sessions.
Why hire a coach for self-publishing?
Self-publishing is like any other business, in that it has a product to be sold. As such, you’ll face many of the same challenges as other business owners.
Developing a product
Your books are your product and writing is the development stage. There will be times when you struggle to write your next book, finish your book, refine your book (editing), and even come up with an idea. A business coach can help you work through the early stages of development and moving forward toward publication.
Marketing
If you uploaded your book to a distribution channel and not received the results you expected, lack of or poor marketing is likely the culprit. A business coach can help you strategize, so you’ll have a marketing plan that not only fits your style and personality, but also attracts the right type of readers.
Build confidence
Being a business owner is an uncertain road. It can be full of failures. If you’ve ever received a bad review, been rejected by an agent or publisher, or had your work shredded by a critique, you know exactly what I mean. When those around you have torn you down, a business coach builds you up. Your business coach is your cheerleader, that person who believes in your ability to accomplish greatness. The focus isn’t on what you can’t do. Rather, the focus is on how you can achieve the goals you’ve set out for yourself.
Those are just a few of the reasons. If you’re looking for additional reasons, I encourage you to visit the International Coach Federation, where I’m a member.
