Hello there! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! Today we're talking about how to podcast your book.

I talk to many female entrepreneurs who tell me they're considering either starting a podcast OR writing a book. And this is where I say, "Why not do BOTH?"

The big benefit to writing and publishing a book is that you do the work once and all of the upside on the backend is completely passive. BUT I also know from personal experience that writing an entire book manuscript can be pretty intimidating, so I recorded this episode to inspire you to take action via a more approachable avenue: a podcast!

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. The 4-step process to recoding a podcast that transitions easily into your book manuscript

2. Time-saving AI tools that transform your recorded episodes into actual chapters

3. The key elements to have in each podcast episode that translate into key book chapter elements

In other words, how to create calm with your business-building book in the stormy seas that is entrepreneurship. If you want to ditch the chaos and feel the calm, this episode is for you!

I'm speaking from personal experience here BTW ... remember at the beginning of the year when I promised you 12 new episodes but didn't follow through (argh, sorry about that!). Things have been more chaotic than I'd like over here BUT through it all, my own book has been like an anchor for my biz, providing stability in uncertainty. I want this for YOU too!

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. The 3 simple-yet-crucial keys to creating a book that acts as a stable anchor back to your business (hello predictable profits)

2. How to write the right book that creates two touchpoints (and the BIG mistake that some authors make)

3. Why it's not enough to simply offer a downloadable ebook

Oh! And we also talk about the future of this podcast (spoiler: it's not goodbye, it's "see ya later").

Happy New Year! Welcome back to The Author Entrepreneur Podcast! I'm so excited to be back after a few months away to share three reasons why 2024 is the year of the Author Entrepreneur (I know, I know, I'm a little biased, but hear me out).

Also, I want to remind you not to dwell on previous failures when planning out your goals for the new year.

In this episode, I share something I haven't shared previously: that one year ago I was feeling pretty defeated. But a shift in my thinking really switched things up and propelled me forward into writing and publishing Author Entrepreneur, which in turn up-leveled certain aspects of my own biz (including a sold-out program launch 6 months post-book launch).

***WHAT WE’RE COVERING TODAY***

1. The three big reasons why 2024 is a unique pocket of opportunity for business owners who have a book to rise above in their industry

2. Why short-form content is no longer "valuable" and a long-form asset like a BOOK immediately sets you apart from the rest

3. That nothing feels as valuable as a bestselling book to your prospective client or customer (hint, hint, NOW is your time to make it happen!)
