Writing a Lot and Researching Ahead of Time

Posted on by • 0 Comments

I’m going to break this to you right now—the first thing you write and self-publish probably won’t be the best thing you ever write. It might sell few or no copies. It depends on how you work it and the opportunities you create for yourself.

It just doesn’t tend to happen that you write a book and become set for life as a high-earning writer– even for most of the most popular writers. You have to release consistently. You have to stay on top of trends and what customers need and want to learn.

One of the books I’m proudest of was one of my first—5 Bucks a Day. It’s a book that has helped thousands upon thousands of people over the years. At its heart, it’s a book about developing an entrepreneurial mindset of success while building up a real income at the same time. This book really touched people on an emotional level as well as giving them the information they needed to know.

Kindle publishing is extremely hot. If you choose the right niches and topics and consistently publish, you can earn a lot of money. It’s honestly the perfect business for writers.

But, what if you’re not a writer? Do you have to just skip this publishing opportunity?

Of course my answer is no.

If you want to self-publish and earn money on Kindle, you can. You don’t have to be the best writer in the world. You don’t have to be a writer at all. You don’t have to know how to make covers, and format, and market your work—you can get others to do that for you.

Writing a book offers many benefits to professional coaches. You may be surprised to discover how the process of writing a book can help you jumpstart other projects, such as signature product offerings that gain you more business, a wider presence in your industry, and another avenue for helping others.

Writing Stimulates Creativity

Writing is an utterly creative process. Regardless of the endless hours you spend researching and outlining your book, the time you spend in front of the keyboard pounding out chapters is an entirely creative time that actually serves to feed your creative tendencies. These are the times when ideas, plans, and processes for other projects will come to you.

Take a little time to jot a note so you don’t forget about these new ideas, then get back to work on your book. You want to make sure you don’t lose track of these signature ideas but also that you do not get lost in planning that project rather than completing your book.

5 Ways Writing a Book Will Teach You about Your Fears and Your Habits

Which of these scenarios best describes you?

Scene A: You wake up refreshed to start your day and can’t wait to sit down to write another chapter (or four!) of your latest book. You adore the writing process and can easily enter your “zone” where time just stands still and your fingers move like the wind across the keyboard.

Scene B: You wake up refreshed to start your day but you do everything else on your to-do list first instead of writing a chapter of the book that you know will boost your business. Procrastination is your friend and the “reasons” you give yourself for not writing are simply excuses.
