consistently running ads and promoting your book or selling it as part of a funnel (again, running ads).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">If you stick the book up on Amazon and let it go, it will not make sales. There are a few things that need to be in place, like book reviews and the right keywords, for you to make sales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Consistently promoting a book has earned some people $500, $1000, $1500 a month, or even more. This is as a result of constantly promoting the book.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">However, that is not where the money comes from. It comes from all the things around the book, such as selling your workshops and programs, selling your coaching packages or other opportunities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">For instance, if you want to build a platform and speak on stage, you may get paid from the speaking fees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2b8313 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2b8313\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">You may get paid to speak once you have got a book because it certainly helps. \u00a0If you are already getting paid to speak, you will get paid more when you have a book because it promotes you as an expert and positions you as that \u2018go-to\u2019 person in your industry, and you\u2019ll get more money for speaking that way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Even non-paid speaking opportunities (or when you pay to speak) are easier to land when you have a book, and you can be very successful through speaking on stage and then meeting clients in the audience afterwards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, you need to be strategic with writing your book and positioning yourself such that you are making money.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5a7e7b4f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5a7e7b4f\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"have-a-business\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60487356\" data-id=\"60487356\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-53fbe854 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"53fbe854\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6d777276\" data-id=\"6d777276\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91c8a53 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91c8a53\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What if you don\u2019t have a business?\n<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-689633e3 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"689633e3\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b5bdaec\" data-id=\"6b5bdaec\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c71ada6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c71ada6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When people who don\u2019t have a business or who have a new business where they\u2019re not even settled and making consistent income come to me, I tell them \u201cLook, now is probably not the time for you to be writing your book,\u201d because the book builds upon what you\u2019ve already got and allows you to create more opportunities and more visibility.<\/p>\n<p>And because you are positioned as an expert, you can charge more for your speaking and coaching.<\/p>\n<p>You should keep it in mind that without any of these things in place, it can be very difficult to make back the money you need to produce a quality book.
