7 Steps to Developing Your Own Publishing Empire! PDF Print E-mail
by KarenMoehr


It's easier than ever the make yourself a mini-empire with writing and publishing!

1. Publish your book. The grandfather of publishing. You can be a published author or self-publish. If you really want to publish, you can write it, self-publish and start selling it within just a month (you must be committed to the work, but it can happen!)

2. Start a blog. This is a well-known idea, but to use it best, you must 1.) post often, 2.) have a theme. Like writing a book, you should have a central concept, but with a blog you can be more creative and even more conversational.

Update it often. When publishing a book, you finish the publishing process and it's done and you can sell it. With a blog you have the opportunity to publish daily. Use you blog to sell and promote all of the your publishing items.

3. Get a website. While websites used to be just for using as an electronic business card or to sell an item, they are part of the overall publishing process. Update your site often, blend it with your blog and other items to your site and keep your site interesting.

4. Ebooks. You've surely run into them all over the web. Why? Because ebooks work! They are terrific ventures to use to test the interest before you decide to publish a print book. You can see if it sells on your website before you delve into publishing a book.

5. Start an ezine. An ezine is essentially an online newsletter that is emailed out to people. They are super easy to start and publish. Using one of the programs out there (such as constantcontact.com) you can develop an attractive newsletter, manage your lists (subscribers), etc. Ezines should revolve around your central them, but you can include other fun tidbits and info.

6. Mini Books. Mini books are booklets. They are cheaper and easier to put together than a book or ebook. Ebooks may sell for $40.00, while a booklet may sell for just $5 or $6. It can be prepared on your word processor and saved as a .pdf for immediate download. Sell it in your blog and ezine. Booklets can be mini samples of books and ebooks to give readers an idea of your full-length products.

7. Develop your social networking. Get a Facebook page. Get on Twitter and tweet. Get on LinkedIn. There are numerous social networking sites out there and the key isn't to be involved in everything. That (in my opinion) just takes away from your key focus and scatters your energy. Pick two or three that you feel work for you and stay current on each. Promote all your offerings (website, books, ebooks, booklets, blogs, ezines, etc.) on your social networking sites.

Do a little of each to have a well-rounded publishing empire to call your own!
