Ten Ways to Give Writing Feedback to Boost Your Success

Writing a book? Website? Promotional Materials?

Want to up level your already quality writing?

Whatever we write, we need to share it with our peers or professionals for feedback before we present it to our paying audience.

Getting writing feedback offers many benefits. Even though you know your topic well, you may have some old writing sins lurking in your copy. While a bit scary, if you can put your ego aside, you’ll get valuable ideas from others to make your writing more clear and inspiring. You will learn how to identify your writing strengths and weaknesses, and you will develop your own writing style and voice.

Don’t Write That Next Book Yet – 10 Questions to Ask Yourself

Many authors start writing their second and third book when the ink is barely dry on their first one. As a veteran bookcoach, understand that this is not in your best interest.

Why? Because you need to learn the best, proven online book promotion techniques, and apply them to one book at a time. Just because your first book isn’t selling well doesn’t mean you should write another one–because if it doesn’t get promotion attention, will not sell well either. You need to market your first book before you write another one.

Before you Write Another Book, Ask Yourself These Questions

1. Why would I do that?

Think of the time spent writing and editing. These activities make you no money. You will only make money when you market/promote your book. To me that means that just because I spend a lot of months getting a book done and feel worn out and whipped, I shouldn’t stop there. I need to promote it to get known before I write another book. I need to know my first book’s audience and write for them when I know they want my information.

Write That eBook Inside You – Avoid These Mistakes

Did you know that you already have an ebook inside you?

And you can earn thousands of dollars each month?

Even if you are a low-techie like me, you can write your ebook to solve your readers’ problems or give them information they really want. You can get information to go into your eBook from many sources. Think of other articles, blog posts, and reports already in your files. Think of excerpts from a longer book.

If you want to double and triple your present ebook income, check out these mistakes and correct them now.

Mistake 1. You don’t write a short ebook first to test the waters.

Short is in the eyes of the beholder, but let’s say from 15-90 pages. Your future customers will be glad to download these pages and print only the ones they need to.
