There’s a strong argument for crafting a short book as a first point of contact with you and your business (‘top of your marketing funnel’), designed to simply solve one key problem for your ideal clients, and raise their awareness of you and your capabilities.

 

As a business owner, wouldn’t you love to create such a book?
♦  A short read (and short to write)
♦  Makes a lasting impact on the reader
♦  Leads people back to you for a long time

The benefits of writing a short read:

R
Short reads can create a warm, trusting following around your one main message, build your list of people drawn to the help you offer, and help you connect with new people who may eventually become paying clients and customers.
R
Short reads can become powerful, low-cost marketing assets. If you self-publish, you can give print-on-demand, digital, flipbook and/or pdf versions of your books away to individuals and groups, gift them to potential partnerships, sell them, and offer them as bonus items with existing products or services.
R
Short reads are simple, digestible books that can be written and produced relatively quickly and are centered around an idea that’s easy to explain. Maybe it’s a simple model, a process, or a system that you use or teach that will become a lead magnet, eventually attracting people to your business.
R
A short read like this will be practical and reliable, offering some type of valuable and actionable transformational process for your readers.
EXAMPLES: The six impactful non-fiction books below each contain 100 pages or less.
“When I was about to embark on the journey of writing my first book I knew I needed some major help. Bev provided a very clear book planning framework which I used to first shape the contents of my book, and later to ensure that this content was relevant and on point. I then published ‘The Teaching Game‘ after signing with the publishing company Amba Press, who were very impressed with my book blueprint and snapped it up only nine months after initially working with Bev. I have since published my second book, ‘The Leadership Game‘, with Amba Press after using the same blueprint and Bev’s assistance before I began writing.”

I invested time and money in attending Bev’s Book Planning Program because her personality and willingness to assist were something I responded to. It was definitely good value for money. Bev provided all of the information and resources we needed, as well as follow-up support. I am very pleased to have participated and grateful I could make it. Your guidance is amazing! Thank you.

“After I engaged Bev and began working with her Book Blueprint framework, the book plan soon took on a definite structure, and as I wrote, I felt my book becoming real. I also realised how important it was to dive deeper and really write for the reader – not just at them. For the six months we worked together, Bev was like a trusted friend as I wrote each section of my book, and nudged and guided me in the direction I needed to go, without judgement. My book is now ready for editing and as I enter this publishing stage, I know I have written a book I am proud of, and one that I feel truly embodies what I want my readers to not only learn, but also incorporate into their lives.”
