  • Are you a course creator and are looking for ways to further monetize what you have created? Are you interested in learning what goes into turning your course into your signature print product...a book? ⠀ ⠀ If that sounds like you, you will love this interview with Lyn Lindbergh, @couchtoactive @lynlindbergh the self-proclaimed “Bad Couch Guru” and owner/creator of Couch to Active. ⠀ ⠀ Lyn touches on the following in her interview: * ☑️I thought I could do it on my own, but quickly realized that I couldn’t⠀ * ☑️ Find your dream team to help you⠀ * ☑️ When working with your team, you need to trust them as experts⠀ * ☑️ You could copy edit and nit-pick your book to death...there comes a time to press “publish” * ☑️ Some cool opportunities... almost immediately after publishing her book⠀ ⠀ Something Lyn also did AFTER this interview that I find to be SUPER SMART, is that she put together materials for book clubs. Such a perfect added-value, and it is so much more fun to go through a program like this with friends. And yes - even though it is now in book format - it is still a program, and the book is set up in a way that supports readers by becoming a personal workbook as well.⠀ ⠀ To listen to Lyn’s complete interview, see full blog post link in bio.

  • I love coming across old signage in lower NYC buildings!😍
  • Are you ready to achieve Expert Status? I talk with Nour Zibdeh, a Registered Dietitian and Functional Nutritionist @nourzibdehnutrition on the process she went through to create her first self-published cookbook and she confirms that her books have helped to push her into Expert status, and so could yours! We talk about the challenges she faced with editing, design, and promotion. She also provides great insight into how she made her way through the process to finish and self-publish her first cookbook. That cookbook ended up being the stepping stone to opportunities that she did not even imagine could be within reach! Her reflections include: ☑️ If you have the resources, fInd a team to help you (there are always options at different price points, so never count yourself out on this) ☑️ Pick a specific topic to talk about and make it unique to you (think: picking a specific item or style of cooking for a cookbook, etc) ☑️ Set time aside to plan (find ways to batch your process, this includes cooking, photos, content, etc.) ☑️ Enlist family and friends to taste test, review and, of course, share!

  • Why hire a book designer?⠀ Tip #4 To finding the right Designer for you and your book:⠀ ⠀ Once you start to interview designers, ask LOTS of questions!⠀ ⠀ Ask them about their process, and what is required of you to get started. ⠀ ⠀ Based on your specific project, how long will the process take? Most book projects can take up to 2 months to complete (for the design process), so you want to find someone you can see yourself working with over a decent period of time.⠀ ⠀ Do you need illustrations, photos, charts, graphs, or infographics? Will the designer be able to help you with that by either doing the work themselves, or by helping you to find the right artist or photographer to work with?⠀ ⠀ Other things to ask when you are interviewing designers: ⠀ • How will they communicate with you? ⠀ • Will there be a schedule and timeline put into place to keep everyone on track? ⠀ • Do they have a team that will be helping, or will you only work with them? ⠀ • Will you have pre-scheduled check-ins so you know where everything is at?⠀ • What/if any extra fees may apply during this project?⠀ • How many design rounds will you receive? ⠀ • How about revisions? ⠀ • Who will own the final files?⠀ • Will they help you to find the right fit printer for your specific book goals? ⠀ ⠀ These are just the basics, but I do hope they help you when searching for your dream designer!⠀ ⠀ If you have any questions about book design, let me know below in the comments!⠀ ⠀ Curious about our FREE upcoming Facebook Webinar Series, STAR AUTHOR STATUS? Click the link in bio to get on the waitlist! We will walk you through writing, designing, and promoting your next best-seller!⠀ ⠀ http://eepurl.com/dAd-Xj⠀
