Today I'm joined by Chad Aleo...a Publishing Consultant at selfpublishing and the author of "The Book On High Ticket Sales".
Over the past 5 years, Chad has had 5,000+ conversations with aspiring authors and brought in $10M+ in sales. In this interview, we talk about:
-The 3 buckets that keep people from getting started with their book
-“We live in a procrasti-nation” - how to overcome procrastination with your book
-The common traits of the most successful authors Chad’s talked with
-What our LEAST successful authors have in common…the things you need to avoid
We also talk about:
-The difference between women & men deciding to write a book (controversial, but true in our experience)
-The biggest takeaway from 5,000+ Publishing Consultation calls with aspiring authors (and how it applies to you)
-How Chad wrote the rough draft of his book in 2 months
-How to deal with rejection & negative feedback around your book
-The common misconceptions around sales (and what to do instead)
So much in the trenches experience shared in this interview! Listen & learn. :)
