Yes, You Can! Self-Publish a Book to Build a Business and Make a Profit with Julie Broad
Episode: 037
In this episode of the Maximum Advisor podcast, host Chip Munn is joined by Julie Broad, owner of Book Launchers, a company that helps authors write, publish, and sell a book to build their business. You’ll learn:
- The self-publishing process from start to finish
- Useful tips from an industry insider
- Growing your financial advisor practice
Julie’s self-published book, More Than Cashflow, became an Amazon bestseller. She realized the value of self-publishing and launched her own company to help others write, self-publish, and sell their books.
Publishing a book is easier than most people believe. Julie reveals the differences between the traditional, hybrid, and self-publishing methods of getting a book released. The benefits of self-publishing include creative control, publishing rights, and better revenue models. These plusses come with a cost, of course—self-publishing a book means that you are the subject matter expert, the marketer, project manager, and editor (unless you farm out these roles).
Chip and Julie discuss the business benefits of self-publishing a book; something Chip has experience with Retirement Remix: A Modern Solution to an Old School Problem. Chip offers his perspective as an author, stating that a self-published book as a promotional tool delivers a commendable return on investment by shortening the sales cycle, establishing subject-matter authority, and even landing him over 30 media placements.
Becoming a published author is a chance to shine by bringing valuable content to a niche group of readers. A self-published author accomplishment even eclipses some conventional financial advisor credentials noting that authors are rare to come by.
You can produce a book from initial concept to marketplace delivery in as little as 90 days. Julie contrasts this time frame with the average traditional book publisher process of two to three years! Self-publishing a book offers timely subjects a much quicker and direct route to the marketplace.
Chip and Julie also cover book topic selection, developing a clear message, target markets, overcoming writing obstacles, and story differentiation.
