Writing a book can be a great way to increase your wealth in the long run. Not because your book itself will necessarily make a lot of money, but because a book can be a perfect calling card no matter what industry you are in. Writing a book about your story, expertise, or strategy can help you position yourself as an authority in your field and open up a lot of other doors.

So what do you need to know to write, publish, and promote your book successfully?

Lindsey Smith is an author, literary agent, and founder of One Idea Press. Lindsey has worked with large corporations to develop courses, hundreds of writers to help them launch their books, developed TEDx talks, and produced large scale conferences with incredible missions. 

In today’s episode Lindsey tells us all about the process of publishing, whether you want to do it yourself or get a traditional publisher. We talk about how to figure out what your “beyond the book” goal is, how to decide between self vs. traditional publishing, and why you have to be ready to promote your book once it comes out.
