Cheat Sheet
- Don’t build things people don’t want to buy. How do you do that? Pre-selling! “Wallet votes” are worth 1000x more than an encouraging word.
- Talk to as many people as you can, but only take advice from your target audience. Your 95-year-old grandmother may not be the best person to speak to about your new tech product.
- Take massive action on the ONE thing directly in front of you. Don’t worry about the next step.
- If you decide to write a book, what is the ONE action you should be focused on? Listen to find out!
About this Episode
I am going to write a book.
It is December 2016 and I am preparing to write out my goals for 2017.
So there.
I said it.
I am going to write a book.
I have big plans for 2017 but I am going to find the time and here is why…
It doesn’t have to be hard.
In fact, today’s guest, Chandler Bolt, wrote 3 books in 6 months that all became best sellers on Amazon without any previous experience.
“I’m a BIG believer in looking at what is front of you and giving it your all”
He then went on to found self-publishingschool.com to teach others how to publish a book in 90 days.
When he got started, Chandler pre-sold 44 spots for over $80,000 without having a single piece of content written.
He then let his audience dictate what he would produce next and built the course.
This conversation reminded me that marketing fundamentals are marketing fundamentals and business startups are all very similar, with founders and creators experiencing similar psychological hang-ups regardless of industry
These fundamentals apply to Crowdfunding and Book Launches and physical and info product launches.
This episode is PACKED FULL of strategies and tactics you can use for Crowdfunding.
Like Chandler says, tactics change with time but principles and strategy are timeless.
I think I am going to write a book on that…
