Your Goal Guide author Debra Eckerling has posted her latest #GoalChat, this time with guest J Bruce Jones- take a look!
Our #FebruaryReset topics continue with Sharing Your Expertise. J. Bruce Jones, author/creator of more than 50 books including his latest, How to Sell Your Book, was the perfect #GoalChatLive guest for this topic.
Bruce, whose expertise is implementation, shared the progression of his career, examples of books he produced, and tons of advice on self and book-promotion. One of these tips – for those who have a physical book and appear on videos – pick up your book and share it on screen. It’s a great way to get people to associate your face with your book!
Some other tips on sharing your expertise:
- Be proud and be loud. If you are an expert, embrace it.
- Perfection freezes progress. Aka done is better than perfect.
- You have to have the guts to put yourself out there. Plenty of people and companies are in your market. Be the one who shares the information.
Bruce shared a super-easy way to formulate ideas regarding your expertise. Here’s the exercise:
- Write down the 10 main questions people ask you about your expertise.
- Write one sentence for each.
- Write a paragraph for each.
- Then write two to three paragraphs for each.
You now have an outline for creating a pdf freebie ebook, traditional book, book proposal, promo content, audios, videos, or really anything. Note: If you are making this into a pdf, add an intro, as well as a bio at the end with links.
This horizontal way of formulating ideas is easy and effective.
