✍️ Should I create a book out of my blog post? Yes…. No…. Read Post & Listen to the podcast

✍️ Are you Blogging?

✍️ Learn the 5 Steps To Turn Your Blog Into A Book. 

Yes, you can! 

But I don’t recommend it. There is a myth thrown around you can throw some blog post together and call them a book. However, I don’t agree with this idea. You write a blog in a short direct format for a particular audience about a specific subject. I have learned some great things from blogs, but I would not want to read a series of disjointed thoughts in a book. Blogging is a great way to learn the craft of writing, develop your voice, and find your audience.

Top Tips From The Write Coach

✍️ Where do you start organizing your ideas to write a book?

✍️ What kind of research do I need?

✍️ What do your readers need to think, feel, or do? 

✍️ Do you create a solid outline before you write? 

✍️ Create your system to write your book!

I talk with prospective clients each week. Most of my clients share the same struggle. They want to know how to start their book. I felt the same way when I decided to write my first book too. It can be overwhelming. You have great ideas bouncing around your brain, and you know they would make a great book. Then you go to write them down, and it turns into crazy mush.

Give yourself some grace. You are most likely learning a new skill.   

Today’s podcast is about the five essential steps to take to start the process of writing your book. This podcast gives you a path to follow. Feel free to create your own system from mine. Do what works for you! The steps are not always taken in order. They are meant as a guideline to help you begin the journey into writing.  Your path may not look like mine. I don’t want it to! I want you to find a system and a path to work for you.

Top Tips From The Write Coach

✍️ What are the best ways to consolidate your information for easy access?

✍️ Use Evernote for Research.

✍️ Use Dropbox to secure your manuscript and important documents. 

✍️ Use Scrivener to create your amazing book. 

Has your computer ever died, been lost or stolen? Then you know the panicking fear it can bring when you have important documents and photos on your computer. What if it held the only copy of your book?

Where and how do you organize your notes and research for your book? Maybe you have a notebook you have been writing ideas, folders on your browser with some support information, you have emails about research or your book cover, and maybe you have interviewed people for your book. There are slips of paper or legal pads here and there. 

What is the best way to bring all these ideas into one place and distill them down into your incredible book?

I use three programs to keep my life and my book organized. On today’s show, I share how each one can help you with your writing projects. The great thing is you can create a system to keep all your information easily accessible.

Top Tips From The Write Coach

✍️  The struggle to learn how to write well is a vital part of your writing career.  

✍️  Master your emotions to master anything. 

✍️ Confidence is not a magic pill.

Have you struggled with fear and being creative during this time of uncertainty? It is okay if you have. I have, and I know most people struggle right now. This is something none of us had ever had to deal with before. With all the unknowns, it can be anxiety inducing. 

But you can use this time to continue to learn the craft of writing. Writing a crappy draft is easier to edit than a blank page. Write even if you don't feel like it. Set a timer and write for 15 to 30 minutes and see what you can get on the page. 

Keep the practice of writing going. The more you write, the better your writing will become. 

Mastering your mindset as a writer grows confidence you can help your reader. Omar shares three ways to grow your confidence. It was refreshing at this time to listen to this podcast again. 

Don't let fear of not being good enough, smart enough, or whatever is holding you back stop you from sharing your message. 

Omar Raafat gives you ways to grow your confidence, and overcome your fears and doubt about writing.

Do you know what holds you back from writing your book? Often you look at confidence the wrong way ...You must make mistakes.

Learn how to create a life of gratitude.

Top Tips From The Write Coach

✍️ Your marketing must support your Facebook & Instagram Ads.

✍️ Show up and serve your social media audience.

✍️ Every author needs to do Facebook ads to build their email list.

Social media is a great place to make connections with influencers and your potential readers. But you need a way to connect with your readers BEFORE you publish your book. You can't control social media algorithms. You can control your email list. 

Growing an email list is imperative to grow your business and/or connect with your readers on a deeper level than on social media alone. 

One way to grow your list is by creating engagement ads and taking your audience on a journey to get to know you and fall in love with your work! If you help people while you write your book, you create raving fans before you publish and will have people waiting for your book to arrive online to buy!
