In the early ’90’s, I dreamed about writing a book. During the 10 years I taught an ongoing seminar on “How to Write a Book” at an adult school in La Mesa, California, I struggled with my first book called “Passion at Any Age.” I edited it so much, it took almost 10 years. I got sick of it and quit.

Instead, I turned to write my now signature book, “Write your eBook or Other Short Book Fast.” A book that I was more passionate about at the time and still am. From that seminar, I built a book coaching business around this book’s information.

Birth of My First Book

After reading Dan Poynter and John Kremer, I knew the book I needed to read, so I wrote my first short book(99 pp) to help non-fiction writers put their chapters together to hook their readers, and know the 9 Essential Hot Selling Points BEFORE they wrote their book. Take a look at Write your eBook or Other Short Book Fast! Read more…

What other questions do you have about your blog? Please comment below and share what is and is not working for you.

One question came to me in my book group at Linkedin this week.

Q. How can my new or revise my old blog to sell more books and attract new qualified clients (not lookie loos)?

Your site must work in tandem with your online promotion. It must build your book platform. What good does it do to tweet if your best audience doesn’t get a link to your opt-in free things to be part of your gold–your database. You must coordinate all of this.

Judy reminds you of these important steps to make your site sell more books and attract more clients:

Step 1. Know your targeted audience before you write your site or your blog. This is what I coach all clients on as the first step to book writing and promotion success for anything, including their books. Write a letter to your #1 best audience; name it specifically, not generally. For example,

Dear Small Businesses, Many of you want to write a book to brand and promote your business. When you educate your audience, you are really educating and promoting in a positive way to attract them to your site and your book. Read more…

Many coaches come to me for their book projects, but I also coach on websites that sell you. So many unnecessary mistakes. I know, I’m on my 5th revision, optimizing and updating and would love to share with this audience some powerful tasks we did to boost clients and sales. To set up a site that offers books and services, you need to agree it’s for attracting and keeping clients–in other words, a site that sells. No shame in that.

More things that guarantee lifelong income for you at your site:

1. Make one site for one audience. Don’t hodgepodge with your business and your personal growth book at the same site, unless you are a personal/life coach. Create your site around a theme.

2. Change your keywords. We have changed our key words to long tail, low competition. These are the ones people Google to get information. We know that’s part of the success. Because many of my site’s pages are on page one of Google. For example, the key words “book coaching” “publish your book online,” are updates of ones that didn’t do us much good because they were too popular. These key words and your content show you as the”go to” person they should come to when ready for your service. Read more…
