👋Heyyy Book Bosses! Happy weekend!
I hope you are all having a good one! 🥳 Wow its HOT HOT HOT here in the UK right now! Great weather for working outside in the shade with a cool glass of elderflower and cucumer fizz! 😋
I wanted to write this post now that we already have some Book Bosses who are making regular monthly profits and monthly royalties from their book publishing journey here inside the Academy (🥳WOOHOOOOO TO THAT BY THE WAY!🥳) I wanted to inspire you ALL to take your self-publishing a little bit more seriously and step things up a notch!
So........HOW can you do this!?
Well what I find is the worst thing that can happen when you join the Book Boss Academy is that you go into analysis paralysis and you end up publishing absolutely nothing! And the reason for this is really you are trying to publish a book that is beyond your current ability so the easiest way to deal with that is to not publish anything at all!
If this is you......instead of trying to overthink things and publish something really amazing.............just publish a journal or a weight loss diary or a field log book or something really plain and simple and easy! Because learning the whole publishing process itself and learning HOW to create your two files and learning HOW to create your book cover............all of that is HARD ENOUGH right at the very beginning............so please try to keep things SUPER SUPER SIMPLE whilst you just learn and get familiar with the whole process!
___________
HAVE A BOOK PUBLISHING SCHEDULE TOO!!
Also............set yourself a strict MINIMUM book publishing schedule too and add it physically into your calendar at first when you are first starting to publish books! Because as we all know all too well.....the days can flash past and then the weeks and months can easily fall down the toilet along with all the days. Before you know it............3 months passed and you didnt publish a single book!! And you feel frustrated and annoyed with yourself!
But it doesnt have to be this way if you PHYSICALLY add your tasks into your calendars you will be much more likely to stick to it!
HERE'S AND EXAMPLE OF A WEEKLY SCHEDULE FOR YOU......
MONDAY - NICHE AND KEYWORD RESEARCH
TUESDAY - BOOK COVER CREATION
WEDNESDAY - DETAILED BOOK OUTLINES CREATED
THURSDAY - BOOK INTERIOR CREATION
FRIDAY -PUBLISHING DAY
This is basically what we do here at Book Boss Headquarters.....only we will do 3 books at a time.....as we are used to it now! We will research 3 books and then create 3 covers and then create 3 books outlines and so on and so forth.

But if you haven't got the time to be able to publish a new book every single week - that's totally ok! this isnt a race!.........so hows about setting yourself a MONTHLY SCHEDULE to start with instead.....?
HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A MONTHLY SCHEDULE FOR YOU.......
WEEK ONE - NICHE AND KEYWORD RESEARCH
WEEK TWO - BOOK COVER CREATION
WEEK THREE - BOOK OUTLINE AND INTERIOR CREATION
WEEK FOUR - PUBISHING AND ADMINISTRATION
If you set yourself a clear schedule that you can easily stick to so that you can hit you self-publishing goals over the next 12-24 months then you will feel like a big weight has been lisfter off your shoulders because you will be easily able to see what needs doing and when!
ADD IT INTO YOUR CALENDAR! If you are free on a wednesday morning and a saturday morning then ADD IT IN THERE so that you remember to do your book publishing tasks!
This is exactly what we do here every single week! And this is exactly how we have got to 5K even though we only started in February this year! Imagine where we will be by this time next year if we simply carry on doing what we are doing!
And you can totally do this too! This is a business that can totally change your whole life within just 1-2 years! There are not many other businesses out there that will do the same! 😉
