12.2 Strengthening Your Book's Self-Publishing Foundation from the Roots

The emPowered Author: A Marketing Podcast for Nonfiction Authors

For a book to thrive, groundwork must be laid beforehand. Just like a plant needs a solid foundation to stand strong, self-publishing an amazing book requires more than just its content. It becomes an extension of you, reflecting your thoughts, ideas, and experiences. Moreover, your book can serve as a powerful tool to build and grow your business. It establishes your authority, attracts potential customers, and expands your reach.
As you embark on self-publishing, it's crucial to assess the skills you possess to help you achieve your goals. By considering these three "roots," you can lay a solid foundation for a successful self-published book and a thriving business.
During this episode, I walk you through these questions to consider when self-publishing your book.

• How is your book an extension of you?
• How will you use your book to build or grow your business?
• What skills do you have to help you get where you want to go?

My fourth book, Emergence: Living Lessons from the Soil, is the inspiration for this season. Learn more about our self-publishing support solution as well if you could use some support.
