In today’s solo episode (56) of The EAT, CAPTURE, SHARE podcast, I’m sharing more lessons I have learned on my book writing journey, focusing specifically on the final stages of creating, launching and marketing a self published book. As always I leave no stone unturned, sharing as much value with you as I possible can. Here’s exactly what you can expect from today’s episode…
I read a short excerpt from Creative Food Photography: How to capture exceptional images of food
I talk about why it’s crucial to get an objective, outside perspective on the book/product/service you are creating
I share why it’s important to be able to pivot during your creative process
I explain why it’s essential to inject personality into the products, books, services, courses etc. you create
I talk in depth about how the pandemic and also the murder of George Floyd impacted the creation of the book
I reveal why it’s important to plan and schedule out your book shoot (or product creation process)
I highlight why it can be incredibly impactful to share your process with your audience
I share what unique value a traditional publisher brings to the book creation process that I’d completely underestimated
I explain why marketing you book is EVERYTHING
I note why honest reviews are incredible important, especially on Amazon and especially for self published authors
