Waiting Can Be a Good Thing

The traditional publishing route takes too long. I want to publish my book now.

If this sounds like you, read this post carefully because I’m going to share two case studies from two people who said that to me.

The first story is from someone who chose not to work with me. I’m going to call her Shanice.

The second story is about someone who became a client. I’m going to call her Jasmine.

After having a chat about what it would take for her to get a publishing deal, Shanice decided to self-publish. She didn’t want to “waste time” building an audience, and felt like she could use the book as a lead magnet for her coaching business.

Jasmine was in a similar situation, but decided that it would be a good idea to expand upon the audience she already had before writing a book. She joined Author Platform Builders and used my advice to hone in on how she wanted to spend her time.

A year later —

Shanice had written the first draft of her book.

Jasmine had grown her audience and was flying around the country doing keynote presentations for more money than she had ever charged. She also started working with my team on her book proposal.
