Content Writing and Marketing Services
I have the word count for all of my blog posts. Instead of blogging for free, I could have turned all of this content into a 200 page paperback book. People wouldn’t listen as much.
The secret to writing a book is that it doesn’t have a price tag. It doesn’t have to be a paperback or a digital copy being sold as an eBook. The truth is your blog is your own book. What’s even better is that your blog is a book that never ends, and it’s free for everyone.
You’re the author, and you’re in charge!
More people are hosting their own contests. More people are talking about creative ways to host contests and how to host them on various social networks. However, no matter which social network you use, your contest should be able to benefit you in some way. If you’re giving something away, you should get something in return.
These are the 3 things you need to focus on when it comes to hosting your own contest:
I haven’t been getting too many sales on Kindle lately. Christmas isn’t here just yet which means we’ll all have to wait a little longer before those Christmas shoppers come around. I wasn’t seeing sales for the books on Kindle.
I completely forgot that I put my books on iTunes. I decided to check for the number of sales my books made. Sure enough, there were multiple sales. I was overjoyed.
If you are selling a book, don’t limit yourself to one place. Sell your book, or any product for that matter, at as many places as you can. Don’t rely on one method that will allow you to make revenue. Instead, use a combination of tactics that will allow you to thrive in the process.
It doesn’t work that way. If you go for the fame, you won’t be able to do something that you’ll truly love to do. You’ll only do what you’re doing for the fame.
If you’re doing something for the fame, you won’t have enough dedication to reach that fame. The sports athletes aren’t where they are primarily for the fame. Those athletes are playing professional sports because they enjoy playing that sport. Most of the professional athletes played that sport for many years before they played professionally.
Fame isn’t something to strive for. Fame is something that gets acquired during your journey.
If you don’t do what you were expected to do, would people miss you? If you decided that you didn’t want to do a blog post today, would people miss reading one of your blog posts? If you want to do something that is incredible, you have to make sure there are people who would actually miss you if you didn’t deliver. By doing what you do consistently, people will expect you to keep up with that consistency. If you’re really good at what you do, people will miss you if you break the consistency for a day. If people don’t miss you, they won’t care.
It’s better to have people who miss you because they know what to expect from you, and they know who you are.
One rule is to hold a little back. Why not bring forth everything you’ve got?
Another rule is to be safe. Why not take a leap or two?
Another rule is to always promote your product. Why not promote other people’s products and their blog posts?
Another rule is that you need to learn as much as you can. Why not implement some of the things you have learned before learning more?
Another rule is to raise your hand. Don’t wait to get picked in the business world. Shout out and see who listens. If no one listens, you need to change your message.
Instead of obeying all of the rules, you have to start asking yourself which rules are worth obeying and which rules are worth disobeying.
