Ep067: Happy Homeowners with Jim Rollo

July 21, 2018 Stuart Bell
Book More Show 067

We talk a lot about using your book as part of a funnel, or campaign to engage future customers, and today we have a great example of that.

In today's Book More Show we're talking with Jim Rollo an insurance broker from New York state. This is a great conversation and really Jim's book is the perfect example of starting a conversation with a group of people that you want to engage with, in a way that resonates with them. He's used all of the book blueprint mindsets that we've talked about before, starting the conversation in a way that educates people and gives them useful content, working with complimentary noncompeting businesses to add value to potential customers, leading readers to further steps that amplify the conversation further and ultimately lead people to a point that you can do business together.

The call went fast & there is a lot for you to take from it, including how Jim came to the point of writing the book, the process of writing, and then we spent a lot of time really focusing on how he's planning on using the book through those complimentary noncompeting relationships.

This is really a great show if you've recently finished your book or if you're thinking about starting, and are wondering how you can use it.

Ep066: 5 Book Title Formulas

July 14, 2018 Stuart Bell
Book More Show 066

One of the most frequent questions we get asked is about book titles. So today on the Book More Show, we dive deep and revisit 5 of the most effective book title formulas.

If you're on the More Cheese, Less Whiskers list, you'll have seen an email earlier this week introducing them. The aim, as always, is to have a title that makes your ideal customer, stop and say "I want that".

Whether you're introducing a new idea to your audience or giving them step by step instructions to get a better outcome, your title & the words you choose, are the strongest indicator to people that they are 'in the right place'.

In the show we talk about The 5 Book Title Formulas field report. It's linked here.

Ep065: Keep it simple

July 8, 2018 Stuart Bell
Book More Show 065

One of the biggest challenges you face when writing your book (after the content) is getting bogged down by the tools and 'mechanisms' needed to get it produced and ready to print.

The simplest way is to have us do it for you ;) but if you want to go the DIY route, today's show is for you. We talk about some of the tools and tips needed to get it done.

We cover the options to get your words on the page in the way you want, as well as the choices you have for cover design.

The key theme in all of this... Keep It Simple!

Remember, if you're looking to generate business from your book, then your book is not the product, and ever additional unit of energy spent on this, is not being spent elsewhere.

Focus on the 'Minimum Effective Dose' and get something out there that helps people and starts a conversation.

Ep064: Kindle vs Print

June 23, 2018 Stuart Bell
Book More Show 064

Once your book is complete, you have 3 main ways to get it in the hands of people you want to engage. Print, Kindle and PDF.

In today's show, we're diving into some of the up and downsides to these, and how the different ways you plan to use your book can change what you need to do to get the best out of it.

Starting with the end in mind is essential to creating something effective. Putting out a Kindle version is might be a great idea, but unless you have a way to encourage those people to identify themselves, it could be a lot of wasted effort.

There is no 'one size fits all' answer to creating your book across different channels, but today we talk about some great ideas & points to consider to make sure you get the best bang for your book.

Ep063: Avoiding the edit trap

June 16, 2018 Stuart Bell
Book More Show 063

There are a few traps that can catch you out, even after you've created the content for your book. The biggest one - endless editing.

After years of experience, we know the biggest challenge people face is letting go and getting their book out their, in front of people. The temptation to edit, and tweak, and edit some more can be overwhelming. Months can pass and you still don't have anything to share.

The good news is, you don't need to do that! If your book is being used identify new customers, if you're giving it away as a way to start a conversation, then 90% and out, is much better than waiting to get to 100% (which, by the way is an illusion), and sat on the shelf.

Remember, your book is not the product, and in today's show we talk about some of the common editing traps people fall into, and how to recognize them.

One of the issues is keeping your 'beneficial constraints' in mind, so we wrap up by talking about the right time to create a second book.

This is a great show to keep you moving toward the end of the process.
