Why Becoming an Author Boosts Credibility #Entrepreneurialism

When you take the time - sometimes years - to create a book that will resonate with your audience, it will automatically build your confidence. Books get press, which means you get press and get a snowball effect.

Before you know it, it seems to happen overnight, although it can take years.

You get more press

When you publish your book, send out a press release. You'll also be holding a celebration in honor of the book's release, which will also receive press releases. You go to sign a book (or several) and you go on a tour, all of which are designed to increase sales and get your message across.

You can claim author status

Now that you've written a book, even if it's not a NYT bestseller, you can be featured as an author anywhere and in any biography you write. Even if you only wrote one book, you could say "author of book XYZ".

You can speak at the event

You can speak at various types of events based on the topic of the book. You can even be invited as a keynote speaker. As soon as your book is published, register with the faculty's office and any organization that needs professors on your topic.

You get book reviews

At some point, positive book reviews will come and this will further build your confidence as you publish every positive review you get.

People will support your work

There will be people from near and far who will be fans of your work and support you. If your work resonates with people, they will say so. You might even get the approval of someone famous that will take you to a whole new level. Tip: If there's a famous person you think the book would resonate with, send it to them.

You received an interview request

After completing a book tour, you'll receive more interview requests for podcasts, radio shows, TV shows, and YouTube shows. Once people see how busy and fun you are, they'll want you to come to their event.

You prove your knowledge

Books are not the only thing that proves your knowledge. Even if you hire a writer for someone else, prove your knowledge in interviews, because it shows that you know the way and strengthens your confidence as an expert.

You have a platform

Once you become a writer, you have a real platform to really grow your following and reach more people. Use it for something of value before you write your next book.

To build trust in your book, you need something more than just writing and publishing it. You will need to do some work, promote the book, talk about the book and demonstrate your knowledge of the subject, contribute as a keynote speaker, blog writer, article writer and much more. But it all starts with a book that serves as your visiting card.
