What’s actually stopping you from publishing your first book? 🤔 If you don’t have a book out yet… what’s the real reason? Are you too busy? Running another business? Working full-time with kids at home? Yeah… same. That’s exactly why most of my books—I didn’t even write myself. I’ve always been more of an ideas person. I love coming up with concepts, doing the market research, and building out strong outlines. That’s my zone of genius. But the actual writing? Not my strength—and I’m okay with that. That’s where outsourcing changed everything for me. I personally love working with The Urban Writers The experience has been night and day compared to hiring random freelancers. Let me be real with you… The first time I hired someone on Upwork, it started off great… until it didn’t. Excuses started rolling in. Delays kept happening. At one point, the guy told me his laptop broke, and he was trying to complete my book… on his cellphone 😳 I ended up canceling the project 3 chapters in. Total headache. That’s when I switched to The Urban Writers, and I haven’t looked back. Yes, it’s more of an investment upfront, but the quality, structure, and reliability are on a completely different level. My favorite is their premium package: ✔️ Access to top-tier writers ✔️ Up to 20 images included ✔️ Built-in proofreading + editing (huge win) If you’re serious about getting your book DONE—not just thinking about it—this is the move. At some point, you have to decide… 👉 Are you going to keep making excuses? 👉 Or are you ready to start making progress? Let’s go 💪

This is one of the most common questions I get, the answer is… it depends on your topic. For most nonfiction books, a solid range is 20,000–50,000 words. That’s usually enough to clearly teach something, solve a problem, or guide your reader to a specific result. But here’s the key 👇Longer does NOT always mean better. I’ve seen shorter books perform really well because they are: - Focused - Easy to consume - Straight to the point If your book delivers a clear transformation or solves a specific problem, people will buy it...regardless of length. That said, there’s a business side to this too… 💡 More pages = higher printing costs Which means your royalties can get squeezed if you're not paying attention. 👉 If you want to run the numbers yourself, you can use Amazon’s calculator here: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/royalty-calculator PRO TIP: During formatting, you can strategically adjust things like: - Font size - Line spacing - Margins This can help reduce page count (and printing costs) while still keeping your book clean and professional. At the end of the day, don’t focus on hitting a specific word count—focus on delivering value. That’s what actually sells books 💰
