743: Apply the Book Formula Process to Write an Easy Book in Record Time and Get Clients

• August 3, 2020

 

Robert Plank shares amazing insights of his Book Formula Workshop on how creating a book can help local marketing agencies connect with local businesses in their community, leveraging this as a social proof to get out there, be recognized, connect with people, and in result exponentially grow their own businesses.

You don’t need to be an expert to write a book. For local marketing agencies who have a Local Marketing Asset you can have your book talk about what the LMA can do for your local agency. Or talk about how to set up a Local Media Asset. First is to create a Facebook page, add a website. And then later on, add some contact information or a handful of ideas for some of these local businesses to maybe think about some things outside the box. For the content maybe talk about the type of posts you put out there on your page to get engagement including the MEMES, interesting stories, local news & events, and basically case studies.

Take a step-by-step process on creating a book. Do it incrementally so you’ll never get stuck. Set up a good enough book at first then just add some cool ideas and fun things as you get better at doing it. With that you’ll never get a half-finished book.

Having a book can be leveraged to connect to people and eventually increase your business. It is an amazing marketing tool and makes you stand out especially when you are out there prospecting and networking.

The thing business owners should keep in mind especially when they speak in a local summit or big events is to ensure that they can reuse the content and not let it die in a span of 12 months. You can create a book by recording the talk, get it transcribed, edit, and put it into a book and sell out to those people who participated in the summit.

There are many ideas when creating a book. You can make the mock up book, you can make the quick book that is your actual business card and kind of goes more into detail about the things that you do have a menu of your services have links to your own products or your own other books or you know, any an easy thing that anyone can do is make a list of your favorite tools in whatever in whatever capacity you run your business. 

Book on its own is not enough or not a magic button. It should be coupled with the followup and have a local media asset page. It gives you one more step ahead of some of these other people that don’t even have a book.

Utilizing your podcast show where you have the opportunity to sit down and interview somebody in depth. You’re extracting the information from those interviews, having them transcribed and then put them into a book in different chapters is an amazing excuse to be able to walk back into that business and hand that business owner a book with their image on it. It is a cool way to connect to this local business owner.

A blank book can work as a business card because you have your contact details in there. You have bio, you have your web address at the bottom, maybe you put your phone number on it.

You could have a book with no pages and say place to take notes and line my mind. You could have a thing to say take notes, but the footer of every page had your, your name, your website, your phone number.

You could get the mock up made and then while you're still scrambling to finish the inside of the book, start putting out videos or send those reaching out videos to local businesses and just be like “My name's Drew Griffin and I have an upcoming book called local media assets”.They don't have to know that there's nothing written yet and it's still in process.

Simpler can be better. You should not put your entire life knowledge into a book because no one will care about it. Except for you. It'll be too weird. Think in terms of where people are stuck, how can you help them? What are some easy tools or what are some easy tasks that you could do for them, but if they don't want you, they're free to go ahead and try it on their own.

Robert Plank shares his expertise in Computer Programming, Podcasting, and Internet Marketing among a wide variety of skills and leverages these skills coupled with passion to solve problems of people and at the same earn a living. He also imparts his secret recipe and shortcuts on how to brainstorm and write a book in 12 hrs, even if you hate writing.

It is vital that we are very much connected to our core and we know what we really are good at and what we can bring to the table. If you want to break the chains of your corporate job, figure out the things that you are good at and at the same time what you enjoy doing, establish the value and significance it can bring to people, solve the problems of people, and leverage these things to earn a living. 

Stay on top of your game by being aware of your competitors. Looking at your competitors is not necessarily copying their ideas, products, or services, but it helps you to think of ways to be better than them and alienate yourself and differentiate yourself to stand out among a pool of competitors.

When you start to think of starting a business or service you can provide to people, choose something that you are really good at and have an actual background of doing it. This will help establish your credibility and earn people’s trust. Plus, it makes the whole conceptualization much easier because you know the nitty gritty and the step-by-step process of doing it and the actual value and significance it can provide to people. You can more likely assess the feedback and response you will receive from your audience.

Nothing is perfect. "Waiting" for the timing to be just right is only an excuse not to take action, never get things done, remain stuck, and procrastinate. This irrelevant and nonexistent fear keeps you from "just doing it."

How to Create Your Book

First, name the chapters of your book as questions which can always be renamed later on. This kind of strategy is important because it allows you to create a list of questions that possibly helps your readers. Create a list of questions, name the chapters as questions, in between the questions you answer them, then later on remove the questions and finally rename your chapters.

List 10 questions, the first 4 questions may be the simplest that you can think of -- the basics. "Middle" questions that you think of in sequence 5-7 are probably pointless, futile questions. The 8th through 10th questions are (magically) well thought and smart questions.

    • From 10 questions, reduce them down to seven. Cross out the three weakest ones.
    • Rearrange and figure out what’s a logical order to rearrange the questions 
    • You are left with 7 questions- 4 questions are usually the simple and basic ones, the remaining 3 questions are more advanced and present case studies or scenarios.
    • To narrow down your chapters, use the formula WWHW, Why, What, How-To, What-If to create sub-question on each chapter. Answer each sub-question in two minutes and you end up 8 mins in one chapter. This will ensure a nice transition and flow in your chapter/s

Run spell-check, throw in some graphics, create a book cover on Canva which is for free or get one from freelance sites for $5 to $10, name the title of the book, the author, and a quick blurb on what the book is all about. And that’s how you create a book in 12 hours.
