You've done it! You've written your book!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​But... how do you launch it?

One of the biggest problems we face when it comes to a book launch is that there is an overwhelming amount of information out there when it comes to book launches.

This series is designed to help you grasp the basics of a book launch. Keep an eye out, because we'll be sharing Book Launch Basics at various points in your book launch journey (3-6 months before your launch, 1-3 months before your launch, your launch week, and post-launch).

💡Want an easy way to come up with ideas?

Try an an exercise called “Idea Mating!”

Let’s say you’re writing an article on how to be a better parent. First, make a column with ten qualities or traits of your ideal reader. In this case, it’s a parent. You might list ten types of parents, including men, women, single, young, traveling, working, stay-at-home, and so forth.

In the second column, make a different list based on random words. The list might be of verbs, song titles, emotions, holidays, or a million other possibilities.

The two columns should not be related.

Let’s say you choose to list holidays in your second column. You would list days such as New Year’s, Easter, the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and so on.

Then, randomly “mate” a word from each column.

For example, put “single mother” with “Christmas.” What are the possibilities for an article on that topic? Or what about an article for traveling parents on the 4th of July?

Are you going to try Idea Mating? Let us know what combinations you come up with in the comments below! 💡

We all want success… but sometimes, we forget that it comes at a price. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Take Harper Lee, for example. She published the classic American novel To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960 when she was just 34 years old. Considering that many successful authors don’t get started until their 40s, she was practically a baby by most standards of literary success.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But the success of To Kill a Mockingbird overwhelmed her and Harper Lee never wrote another novel again. Fame had come too quickly, and it was too much for her to handle. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
That doesn’t mean you or I would respond that way to fame, fortune, and success. However, her life is a stark warning to all of us that success can be both a blessing AND a curse. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

25/03/2023

A lot of entrepreneurs and business leaders look at a day job as the enemy of a writing career. You have a boss, you have office hours, and you have job responsibilities that feel a million miles away from the writing you want to do.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Building your own business is a great goal if you want to create a full-time writing career or gain more financial freedom. But while you have a day job, you shouldn’t view it as the enemy. ​​​​​​​​
There are two reasons for this.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
First, if you despise the place where you’re spending eight hours per day, you’re bringing a lot of negativity into your life. Be grateful for employment that feeds your family and provides some stability in your life.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But there is another, more important reason. Your day job has many hidden opportunities to develop your skills as a writer, business owner, and leader. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here are ten ways you can use your day job to better yourself:​​​​​​​​
1. Develop a company podcast.​​​​​​​​
2. Volunteer to make sales calls.​​​​​​​​
3. Write marketing content such as blog posts or newsletters.​​​​​​​​
4. Teach a writing course to your colleagues.​​​​​​​​
5. Volunteer to edit content for others.​​​​​​​​
6. Write social media posts for the company.​​​​​​​​
7. Ghostwrite articles or letters for the CEO, president, or your boss.​​​​​​​​
8. Film and edit videos.​​​​​​​​
9. Practice your public speaking skills in the next department meeting.​​​​​​​​
10. Compile a list of books that have helped your colleagues the most. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Isn’t it funny that so many writers don’t make time to read?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We love books. We love creating them. But we struggle to fit reading into our schedules.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Reading is a critical part of the creative process. You also need other inputs, such as listening to great talks, watching videos and movies, seeing plays, and other ways to experience great art. But above all, you must read.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here is a simple method for reading more: take a book--yes, a real book--everywhere you go. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You don’t necessarily need to block off huge chunks of time to read. There are plenty of little moments throughout the day that add up to thirty or sixty minutes a day. When you always have a book with you, it's easy to take advantage of these little moments. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

23/03/2023

How many times have you heard writers talk about the need to feel “inspired” or how they are waiting for the Muse to show up and give them the magic words?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The best writers know that the creative process is more than a feeling. They don’t wait for inspiration to strike.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Don't wait. Take action and start writing. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

It's easy to look to others for validation after you've completed a big project. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But, here's the thing, to most other people, your project represents a blip on the radar screen of life. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Don’t look to them for approval and validation. First look inward, and then you will be able to face outward to the world without needing something from them, but instead, coming with something to offer. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

21/03/2023

Picture yourself as a third grader. It’s May and you have two weeks of school left. The weather is warm and all you can think about is a fun-filled summer full of sprinklers, fireworks, and ice cream.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Yet, you sit there at an uncomfortable desk, listening to the teacher droning on. You’d rather be anywhere but here.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
We never quite escape this impulse of wanting to be done with our education. We move on to middle school, high school, and maybe college and grad school. With every level, we just want to be done so we can move on with life. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
That is the kind of attitude most people expect from formal education, where we follow a prescribed path to success. There are lots of benefits to formal education, but nothing compares to the curriculum you create for yourself.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you want to grow as a writer, you have to change your mindset about learning. Learning is a privilege, not an obligation. Learning can happen anywhere, not just in a prescribed institution. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Learning is the match that lights the fire of passion and purpose, not the bucket of water that drowns it out.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
What are you going to learn this week? Let us know in the comments below! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

18/03/2023

Failure has a way, as J.K. Rowling pointed out, of stripping away the inessential. But what does that mean? What things are inessential? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There are many answers we could give, but the most important thing that failure strips away are expectations. When no one expects anything from you, it’s a great gift because there is no opportunity to disappoint anyone. There are no critics, no crowd to please, and no internet trolls ready to pounce on your every word.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you’re at a low point, be grateful. Use this opportunity to be daring, to do something bold and unexpected. Write that story that’s been swimming around in your head for a while—the one nobody would expect from you. Or use this time to start that blog, podcast, or video channel.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The best gifts come in unexpected wrapping. Don’t be too quick to run away from the failure you might be feeling. It might be the best gift you’ve ever received. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

16/03/2023

We writers like to speak in generalities, half-truths, and maybes. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“I will try to get that blog post done.”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“Maybe I’ll write a book this year.”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“If I have time, I will squeeze it in.”​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The big difference between successful and unsuccessful writers is not talent. It’s the willingness to act.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Is there an important task you’ve been avoiding because you don’t think you are worthy or talented enough? Maybe you don’t believe you have the skills or knowledge you need.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But never mind all that. The only moment you have is right now. Are you going to take action? Are you going to get it done?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Do or do not. There is no try. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Value > Success​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
How do you add value to others' lives? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Well, here are three simple ways to add more value to the people around you.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1. Buy your friends’ books and give them away. Obviously, this adds value to your friends because you are supporting their writing. But it also adds value to those receiving the books. A double win!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
2. Leave reviews for the books you read. Every author, no matter how famous or not, wants book reviews. This is a simple way to give people exactly what they want and feel good in the process.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
3. Make introductions between people who should know each other. Many introverted writers don’t do this because they focus on the work and forget that their work is all about people. Make connections between friends and you will multiply your value.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Remember: success as a writer isn’t just about books. It’s also about relationships and the people you serve. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

One of the most fascinating aspects of being a writer is that lots of people are eager to give you advice. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But be careful. There is a whole group of people who love to give advice about being an author… but they have not accomplished much as authors themselves.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So, before you take anyone’s advice about how you should approach your writing or your business, look at the results they have gotten for themselves or others. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's your challenge for today: Think about the people in the writing world who are giving you training or advice. Have they been successful in doing what they are teaching others? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

06/03/2023

The simplicity of this statement is stunning. Those seven words contain the secret of getting noticed, building an audience, and all the other things you want as a writer.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So, a few questions:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are you committed enough to your writing craft to keep going until people notice you? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are you willing to put in the early mornings or late nights? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are you willing to keep rewriting and editing until it’s as good as you can possibly make it? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Are you willing to try different things even though there is no guarantee they will work?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The answer to those questions will determine whether people will ignore you… or eventually, sit up and take notice. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

What does it mean to listen to your life? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It means paying attention to the signposts telling you where you should go.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It is amazing how often we don’t see the signs right in front of us. These signposts can take different shapes, such as what your gut is telling you, what you’re passionate about, and where you are experiencing success. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One of the most important signs comes from other people. Are there people in your life who have encouraged you in your writing? Perhaps teachers, parents, or friends? If so, this is a sure sign that you need to lean into writing.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you haven’t had people encourage you as a writer, no worries. It may be that you simply have not written and shared it with enough other people for them to affirm your gift.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Maybe you’ve had people be critical or dismissive of your writing. If so, remember that anybody who criticizes you without a loving spirit has the wrong attitude. Most of the time, other people’s criticism is driven by jealousy and a lack of affirmation in their own life. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Pay attention to the signposts, especially from the people around you. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's a challenge for all of us:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Think about a person who has encouraged you as a writer. Take a moment today to write them a note or send a text thanking them for how they have added value to your life. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

24/02/2023

If you had to pin down one universal emotion that all humans experience, it’s pain.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Sometimes we hesitate to share our pain because we’re afraid to look weak. So, we lock up our feelings in a box, set it on a shelf in the back of a dark closet, and try to forget about it.​​​​​​​​
This is not a healthy way to deal with grief. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Instead, one of the best ways to work through your pain is to write about it. How?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Well, here are three ideas to turn your tears into words:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
First, you can journal about them. Journaling is a time-tested method for working out your feelings and getting perspective on life’s disappointments.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Second, you can write non-fiction articles, books, or other types of material where you talk about your experiences directly. This is a helpful way to work through your feelings, with the added benefit of helping others, as well.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And third, you can channel your experiences into fiction. This is an indirect way of processing your pain, but it can also be the most powerful way. Why? Because you can say things through fiction you would never say in non-fiction. The way you’re saying them is through events, characters, and dialogue in your stories.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Whatever medium you choose, don’t be afraid of your feelings. Don’t stuff them in a box or lock them away. Writing about your pain can bring healing not only for you, but for your readers too.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

23/02/2023

If you've been writing for a while, you might have noticed that there is a theme or idea you keep returning to in your writing. You can't ignore it, and you can't stop writing about it.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
That's what we call a life theme. It's the golden thread that ties all of your writing together. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Maya Angelou knew what hers was. Do you?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here is a strategy you can use to discover your golden thread.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Ask yourself the following questions: ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Is there a theme or idea that you consistently write about? Is there something you’re trying to say, but you never quite feel you get it right? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This question causes many writers to become anxious because they get nervous about not getting things quite right. But don't be afraid of this feeling--lean into it. It may be the key to finding your golden thread.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Now, write down your answers to those questions and list a few ideas of what your golden thread might be. Share it with a couple of friends to see if they agree. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you're feeling really brave, share your life theme with us in the comments below, so we can cheer you on!​​​​​​​​

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ruthie Gray on the Authentic Online Marketing podcast to talk about 10 ways writers can make money.

In our fantastic conversation, you'll learn why I feel so strongly that writers are entrepreneurs, discover a different mindset about generating funds, and determine how to develop your writing passion as a way to pay the bills!⁠

Thank you, Ruthie Gray (), for having me on the Authentic Marketing Podcast!

As artists and creatives, we often beat ourselves up for our mistakes. We are disappointed when we mess up or don’t perform perfectly.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But remember, you’re human. You’re imperfect. You won’t get it right every time. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
There are times when you will flat-out bomb. That book, that blog post, that article, that lesson or speech won’t go as planned. In those moments, the last thing you want to do is celebrate your mistakes.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's today’s challenge: What is the last mistake you made? What if, instead of trying to cover it up, you accepted it as part of your picture and used it as a learning experience? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

10/02/2023

Social media can be a powerful tool to connect with others.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
However, it's easy to fall into the comparison game on social media--especially as writers. We see the wins other writers are having, and we get jealous. The thing is, we don't see all that happened for them to get to that moment. We don't see the struggles, the hardships, the long days and the sleepless nights that were necessary to create those wins. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This is why it's important to celebrate every bit of progress you make in your writing and business. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Did you write today? That’s a win.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Did you learn something new about publishing? That’s a win.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Did you connect with others in your writing group? That’s a win.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Did you talk to an editor or graphic designer about your next book project? That’s a win.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Did you spend some time on marketing? That’s a win.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Whatever you did today to further your writing and author business, you won. Remember, the only person you need to keep score against is the person you were yesterday. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

07/02/2023

Have you ever noticed that we tend to downplay our natural skills and elevate other people’s skills?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
It's not clear why we do this. Maybe we over-compensate in our desire to stay humble. In the process, we undermine the value of the gift we bring to the world naturally. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Today, we're going to share some of the natural skills of a few friends in the Daily Writer Club.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Lucas Marino is a course creator who has a natural skill for taking your book content and turning it into a course.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Karen Hunsanger is an editor who has a natural skill for rooting out errors in your manuscript and making you look better.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
M.J. James is a coach for burned-out business moms. She has a natural skill at listening and helping you see the roadblocks that prevent you from having a more peaceful life.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Andrew Wood is a former college professor who is an incredible researcher. He has a natural gift for knowing how to organize complex material and write it in a way you and I can understand.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Perry Gabbard is a former aerospace engineer who is one of the most natural and gifted storytellers I’ve ever met.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Lori Melton is a coach who has a naturally calming presence and a gift for helping others discover their spiritual mentors.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Brigitte Cutshall is a runner and book production specialist who has a natural skill for creating books that look amazing.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
These natural skills are not unique to them. You also have a natural gift and special skill that is powerful! That’s what makes you a genius in everybody else’s eyes.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's today’s challenge: Grab a piece of paper and write down your natural gift. You know what it is. Are you using it to its fullest potential? How can you keep developing it and combine it with writing books to serve others or even build a business?

If you subscribe to the Daily Writer Podcast, follow us on social media, or are part of our Daily Writer Club Membership, it's likely that you're an introvert. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As introverts, we can be strongly affected by what's happening around us. And this can sometimes cause writer's block. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
On today's episode, talks about how he institutes a "mental safe zone," so he can function at his best! ​​​​​​​​

Today, we are concluding our series on upgrading or moving your office. We hope this series has helped you decide whether to stay in your current office space or look for a new one. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Whatever you decide, remember that the most important thing is to do what’s right for YOUR situation. Everybody’s family life, living situation, budget, and way of working are different. ​​​​​​​​
Now, there's one final thing to consider when deciding whether to rent an outside office space, and it's likely one you may not have considered. Are there networking opportunities with real, live people in your current office location?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you work from home, the answer is no. You have to go to other places to interact with real people (with the exception of your family or the occasional solicitor who comes by).​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
But if you want to grow your network in your community, and you’re looking at a potential office, think about what kinds of people hang out there. Can they help you grow your business? Do they know your potential clients, customers, or readers? Do you know people whom they need to know?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
As introverted writers, we are most concerned with having a quiet space where we can do our work. But being a writer isn’t just about retreating from the world. We would argue that as a writer, you have the RESPONSIBILITY to interact with and impact people in your area. How can you do that if you just want to stay home all the time?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If you’re considering getting an office outside the home, think about how many people you will be able to interact with in that location. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
And, if you plan on working from home or going to coffee shops sometimes, make an effort to spend some time around other people. Get to know them and invest in relationships.

Your thinking and concentration are pretty important parts of what you do as a writer.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Think about your current work area or the office you might be considering renting. How quiet is it? Can you concentrate? Or are there factors such as barking dogs or other noises that make it harder?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You might have a higher tolerance for disruptive noises. If so, that’s fantastic! That's a gift. But if you are easily distracted by noise and disruptions, is there another space where you can work? Maybe there’s a solution to help prevent the noise?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Here's today's challenge: Be honest about the level of disruption and noise in your current work area. Is it enough for you to consider switching locations? ​​​​​​​​
