Chapter 1: Why Would You Want to Write a Book?
“Jenn:
Hello everyone, this is Jenn Foster; I have Melanie Johnson here with me and we are the hot chicks writing hot books on the beach. We are here today to talk to you and to tell you more about our retreat and our writing camp. First, I’ll introduce myself. I’m Jenn Foster, and I’m a three time best-selling author. I’ve written three books; they are on Amazon and other online stores as well as offline stores. My books are about video marketing and online digital marketing. My background in marketing began when I was a web designer. After a couple of years doing websites, I wanted to make sure the websites were found, so I began marketing. I learned all about online and video marketing and became a video marketing expert and that’s what my books are about. I have three kids and I live in Salt Lake City. That’s pretty much all about me so now we’ll go to Melanie, and she can tell us a little bit about herself.
Melanie:
Hi, I’m Melanie Johnson. I live in Houston, Texas, and I’m a best-selling author. I wrote a book to do a value-added for my business which is a vacation rental property that I have. I do luxury vacation rentals, and my background started in the television business. I owned and operated two TV stations here in Texas, one in Houston and one in Dallas. I started as a TV anchor in Detroit. I had a news background which included advertising and promotion, I use all of those tools as well as online marketing to promote my businesses. I have two boys, and we live here in Houston. I’m working with Jenn to do this fabulous project, Hot Chicks Write Hot Books. Getting women together to use our system to write your book and become successful on Amazon.
Jenn:
What we want to do today is let our listeners know the reasons why you should want to write a book. After that, we’ll talk a little bit about how to get started writing a book. Melanie and I are just going to chat about why we wanted to start writing a book and the reasons of having books. I think the first one is pretty obvious, don’t you Melanie?
Jenn:
The first reason is we want to make more money. You want to write a book, so you can make more money. Having a book gives you a lot of credibility. It places you as an expert in your field and helps others understand exactly what to do. What were the reasons why you wanted to write a book, Melanie?
Melanie:
Well I think writing a book gives you credibility in the marketplace. For me at the time, I was starting several different businesses and created a value-added for my clients, so I had to give them more value. I realized as I started the process that it created another revenue stream for me. The books helped create a revenue stream as well as setting me up as a professional and giving me credibility in the marketplace. That credibility in the marketplace has definitely opened other doors for me.
Jenn:
Yes, that’s what my books have done for me as well. Since writing my books, I’ve been asked to speak at a lot of different events and speak at different chamber meetings. I have really put myself out there to let them know; this is what I do, and this is what I can help you with. It’s been really fun to have a book that I can hand to someone that they can learn from. I don’t actually have to sit down with them and teach them all the information that’s in my book; they can simply read it for themselves to learn more information. It’s been a really great tool to help people out and really help them understand marketing.
Melanie:
Yeah, I think a book definitely helps people. It opens doors that they don’t expect. Like you said, all of a sudden people ask you to speak; you get interviews on TV stations, radio stations, and different media outlets are asking you to be a speaker because you have become an expert in your field, and people want to hire you. If it’s between you and somebody else, and you have a book, that sets you apart, and it really helps.
