Welcome to Publish To Impact! Have you ever wondered how you can publish your book? The perception has been you can only get your book published if you have a book deal. But the times have changed. I'm your host, Blake de Vos, and in today's episode, we're going to explore the various options available to you when it comes to publishing your book. It's now more accessible than ever to use your expertise in your niche and make an impact on those you serve. We're going to look at the three common types of publishing:Those three options are:

Traditional Publishing

• What is traditional publishing and how does it work?
• Pros and cons of traditional publishing.
• How it works when working with an agent

Hybrid Publishing

• Defining hybrid publishing and how it differs from traditional and self-publishing.
• Benefits and challenges of choosing a hybrid publishing model.
• The pros and cons of hybrid publishing

Self-Publishing

• Understanding the self-publishing landscape.
• Advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing.
• Key steps in self-publishing, from writing to marketing.

I'll also explain why I believe self-publishing to be the right pathway for 99% of us, but I want to give you all options available so YOU can decide. We'll finish the episode with:

How To Decide The Right Publishing Pathway For You

• Identifying your publishing goals and expectations.
• Evaluating your manuscript and determining its marketability.
• Understanding your investment
• How to align your goals with the most suitable publishing pathway.

Why I Self Publish

• The major reasons as to why I self publish
• The result of me self publishing 
• Why it's more than a book
• The impact self publishing has on my business

Choosing a publishing pathway is a decision that depends on your book goals, resources, and preferences. Whether you go the traditional route, make an impact with self-publishing, or find a middle ground with hybrid publishing, each path has its own unique set of challenges and rewards. I hope this episode provides you with actionable insights to help you make an informed decision on your journey to becoming a published author.
