How to Grow Your Income By Writing Books. (THREAD)

(Remember to retweet for others)
If you've not written a book yet, you should start one.

And if you've started one, but abandoned it, you should get back to it.

Why?

- writing a book helps you establish yourself as a subject matter expert.

It positions you as an authority in your niche.
- Writing grants you access to high network and networth circles in the business world and opens you up to opportunities.

- It significantly increases your earning power, especially if your work gets endorsed by a respected person or you organization.
So, stop contemplating already.

Start writing.

How can you squeeze out the money from doing this?

Here's how:

1. Write on a topic that crosses point between what you love and have knowledge of, and what the market needs.

This way, you write with passion and also make money.
2. Carry your followers along, as you write.

You are not writing for yourself. You are writing for them.

Bring them along the journey and share your experience.

When people are expecting your book, they have little resistance to pay and also help you promote it.
3. Promote your book for weeks and use a launch strategy.

First start with a prelaunch with a preorder price.

This could be 50% of the original price you hope to sell the book.

You can promote this for weeks or even months.
I know someone who has already made over 4 million in 2 months promoting a book that is yet to launch.

Using a launch strategy helps you make money even before the book is ready.
4. As people preorder and get a copy, ask them to leave a review.

Use the review to drive more sales.

Remember the power of social proof?

As more people see others talking about your book with excitement, they'll want to buy as well.
This is just the beginning.

If you do this, in 2 months you can hit 6 or even 7 figures.

But you can go even further to make more money from that book.

Here's how:
1. Start a paid community off of the book.

It could be a monthly subscription or quarterly subscription.

Do what's best for you.

But make the community so valuable that when outsiders hear of what is happening inside, they'll want to join.
2. Start a coaching program off of the book.

This could be group coaching or one-on-one coaching.

Of course, this one will come at a higher price point.
If you effectively follow the strategy, in 6 months, you'll hit 7 figures.
The same can work for an online course, except that the process is a bit different.

I'll probably do a thread to explain.

Start now.

How To Monetize Your Public Speaking skill and establish yourself as an authority.

(Thread)
You have probably said to yourself:

"I am passionate about public speaking and I know how to help people overcome the fear of speaking.

How can I make money doing this?"

Let's see how.

(Remember to retweet)
First, you have to understand and appreciate the power and value of this skill you have.

Public speaking has been said to be among the top 3 worst phobia in the world.

Some people fear speaking in public more than they fear death.

Meaning, they'd rather die.

In trying to build wealth, one truth you need to face and completely agree with is this:

Having talent does not guarantee that you will be rich.

It is a difficult truth to accept but if you must truly build business empires that will reward you financially, you must accept it.
There are too many people who are talented, yet, they are still miserable.

There are others who don't even have half the talent but are amassing wealth in exponential proportions.
Haven't you seen some truly wealthy people, and when you engage them in a conversation, you suddenly realise:

"Wait a minute, I sound smarter than this guy"?

"I know better than this guy!"

Of course you have.

Reading "48 Laws Of Power" at midnight yesterday taught me something.

I'll share with you.

On Thursday last week, my cousin got a job from an Agency, to create a video story.

One thing about this cousin of mine is her ability to write thought-provoking scripts.
For some reason, she was scared.

She had never created a video before and she was already overwhelmed.

She reached out to me and first thing I told her was:

"Drop the job, forget it and go chill. Let's talk in the evening.

Remember to FORGET IT!"

She was going to argue and
ask me why.

I threatened her:

"If I must tell you why, you must pay for my time. Forget it and go have some fun."

My cousin has worked with me on several different projects so she obliged.

Evening came and we had our talk.

How is it possible that someone gets paid $1,000 for something that another person is struggling to get $100...

... and for the same quality of work?

How can you grow your income and increase your charges?
The answer is in the reputation you build.

How people perceive you influences how much they are willing to pay you.

If they think you are not worth the price, even if you are good at the job, they'll be unwilling to budge.
While you work to become good at your skill, remember you are not the only person with that skill?

Several other people are also trying to get clients.

It is important to position yourself well in your market.

Listen Up,

Let's start the day with some juice.

What service can you offer in 2-3 hours and earn 20k?

Can you think of one?

Yes?

Then you can go on to make 300k-500k this month.

Here's why:
For many people, it is not the lack of opportunity.

It is the fact that you are relaxed.

You are pretty comfortable reading tweets and doing nothing.

Of course, you have promised yourself that you will rake action, but you end up spending hours scrolling.
Imagine you put yourself out there as a pro, offer value and get potential clients reaching out to you.

Take up 10 clients at 20k and you have 200k.

When you build your income to a point where you are no longer desperate about money, you can then raise your fees.
