The entrepreneur world has grown massively in the last 5 to 10 years. As someone who’s been in the field a long time, I’ve learned that there are so many ways to grow as an entrepreneur online. Something that I do exclusively is help entrepreneurs write their books in order to market themselves and their services.
A well-written book can dramatically increase the number of people who say yes to your product or service as an entrepreneur. This can be huge for marketing in your field, because you can have the financial joy of standing out as an expert in your field rather than just being another number in the crowd. There are many reasons why entrepreneurs should write books. But I’m going to go over some of the most important reasons you should as a business owner.
Clients Get to Know You
As an avid reader, there have been many times that I’ve discovered someone new in the entrepreneur world simply by picking up their book in the store. By writing a book, clients can get to know you before your pitch. They hear your story and come to see how your expertise can help them achieve what they want in life. Being a published author helps create trust between you and your potential client. In the long run, writing a book will help you have a great return on investment.
Expert in the Field
Social media is where entrepreneurs go to sell their services and market themselves as the experts in their field, but this can be altered and manipulated. However, having a book can help really set you apart in your field because it shows you care enough about the topic to write about it. This again creates trust between you and your potential client, because it shows you know what you’re talking about and you actually have the expertise and knowledge to back it up.
Visibility in the Crowd
There is a whole world out there in the book and publishing community that might not be on social media and this is where you can find a whole new crowd of clients. Writing a book in your field can be very beneficial, because there can be so much good marketing for you. If the media ever needs an expert on a topic like yours, they will come to you because they trust experts who write books. By having a book in your name, getting media marketing can be so easy!
