Writing & publishing a book doesn't have to be com Writing & publishing a book doesn't have to be complicated. 

There are four simple steps:

1. Book Development - Developing your book is about bringing your book to the quality level where it's ready for submission to a publisher. It's worth investing in this process so it's an easy """"yes"""" for the publisher to add you to their list of authors.

2. Strategic Marketing - Understanding your market and how you'll get your book into the hands of readers. The average book only sells 250 copies. Therefore, to get a return on your investment, create a strategic plan to partner with organizations and associations that will promote & distribute your book.

3. Publishing - Choose a publisher that specializes in your genre and one that will support you in marketing efforts. This is key to a successful publishing experience.

4. Promotion - Promote, promote, promote. This means everything from updating your email signature to a planned email to creating strategic alliances and a launch team, as well as an email campaign to your contact list. The possibilities are endless so establish a budget and pursue opportunities that will result in sales. 

These four steps often run concurrently and overlap. It's never too soon to think about how you will get your book into the hands of readers!

This comes as a surprise to many and let me explai This comes as a surprise to many and let me explain why this number is a reality. 

Over the years, the publishing industry has evolved to include a technologically robust self-pubilshing option that allows anyone to write and publish a book. With self-publishing, there are no quality checks, no one to flag a sub-par cover design, and an author is largely left to learn about an industry that has taken most professionals years of dedication. The kicker to all of this is that when you're focused on self-publishing, your "job" becomes that of publisher. You're not focused on your mission or your expertise. And we all know that if you're heavily focused on one area, other areas don't get the attention they need to develop. 

So, self-publishing skews the average number of books sold (in total) for an author to 250. The book becomes the focus, the business takes a backseat and marketing...well, that's a total afterthought. 

This is largely why the Hybrid model has taken the publishing world by storm, especially when it comes to authors who have a mission. We, the publisher, produce your high-quality book while you, the author, stays focused on building your business, including strategy around marketing a.k.a. getting your book into the hands of (more than 250!) readers.

We'll stay in our lane and you stay in yours & together we will create success!

No matter what, you will invest money on the publi No matter what, you will invest money on the publishing of your book. You may save some by self-publishing, but know that you will spin your wheels on trying to reinvent what hybrid publishers will do for you for essentially the same investment.

Also, if you publish with a hybrid publisher, they will take care of all of the details that go into the process allowing you to focus on strategic planning to get your book into the hands of readers. 

As a leader, the best use of your time is in focusing on the partnerships that will result in book sales. You know your colleagues and your business. We know publishing. Stay in your lane and we'll stay in ours - this will result in a successful launch of your book that contains your expertise & knowledge.

The most successful non-fiction authors are those The most successful non-fiction authors are those who have a clear mission. They use their published book as a tool to spread the word about the work they're already doing. 

What's your mission? How are you already spreading the word?

Time and resources are finite and there are endles Time and resources are finite and there are endless marketing options that require a lot of time and money. 

To maximize your time and resources, podcasting may be the answer! 

Podcasting allows you to build a platform around your mission while simultaneously creating an abundance of content that can be multi-purposed. 

For as little as a few hours each month, you can create evergreen content that allows potential clients to get to know you and for others in your industry to get a good sense of who you are and your overall mission. All of which can lead to partnerships and collaborations. 

You invite the guests, we produce the content and then you simply share with your audience. 
Keep it simple by partnering with professionals who produce high-quality podcast episodes that can be multi-purposed in your overall marketing plan.

The average author sells 250 books. Yup, it's a ha The average author sells 250 books. Yup, it's a harsh reality but it's true. 

Publicity alone will also not sell your books. It will give you visibility, but not necessarily have people rushing to buy your book. 

Why? Because in order to sell books, you've got to be strategic and create partnerships with organizations that will support your mission and promote your books to the people who will actually buy & read them. 

Since Clear Vision Publishing is in the business of publishing non-fiction leadership books, we support you on reaching the organizations that will partner with you to get your book into the hands of readers. 

Publicity gets the word out. Strategic Planning gets books into the hands of readers!
