Steven E is a book publisher with over 20 books in print. Fourteen of his books are bestsellers including "Wake Up...Live the Life You Love" As one of the leading experts in the movie "Pass It On", Steven lives to help people. He wants everyone to live to their full potential on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
Steven E wants everyone to find their purpose as early in life as possible. At only 21 years of age, he was startled awake. It was his inner voice telling him he needed to write a book, so he did. He was confident it would be a bestseller. Today you can find Steven publishing books and CDs and arranging speaking engagements.
People will magically show up in your life when you need them most after you've found your true purpose, but by far the best way to help yourself is to help others first. Steven tried this by asking 55 people to co-write a book with him. Everyone did a little bit of the work, and in turn, everyone was published in a bigger book. Steven calls this "team publishing."
Compare team publishing to opening a new business with investors. Imagine you're opening a coffee shop. All of your investors will surely invite their friends and family to the grand opening, and you'll reap the profits and word of mouth advertising to follow. Book publishing is the same way. Everyone who contributes to your book will tell everyone they know about it. Sales are almost guaranteed.
Help other people first. Steven believes this is the key to helping yourself. Introduce yourself to others by saying, "How can I help you?" You'll break the ice with your offer of help, and by listening to the needs of the other person, you can formulate a way to help yourself at the same time.
By finding out what others need and helping them with that need, you can form a bond with them. They will see what an asset you are, and in turn, they'll refer you to all of their friends. This type of marketing isn't only for book publishing. It can help any type of business. A chiropractor can give free appointments to his friends, and in turn, his friends will refer paying customers to him.
If you plan to publish a book, be aware that major publishers only pick up major authors. It's rare to see an unknown rise to the top of a major publishing company. Steven E says you'll almost always have to self-publish. You're going to need to figure out your own marketing strategy, and his advice is to start small with a business card approach. If you hand out a business card, you're just another face in the crowd. If you hand out a book, you're an "expert."
Handing out books helps you establish a residual income. People would much rather talk about books than business cards. One of the best ways to get your name noticed by the masses is to get published along side a big name author. You'll have instant credibility and instant sales. You're adding to someone else's book to help them get published, and in turn, you're getting free advertising and credibility.
