10 Bold Reasons Why You Should Write a Book (and why I did, already three times).


Want to build your brand, your career, your business, your impact and income?

WITHOUT being stuck on social media all day?
​
Then write a book.
​
That’s the advice of my friend Shaa Wasmund MBE, who’s not just written 5 x #1 bestselling books but also built and exited multiple 7-figure businesses.
​
Here the 10 reasons she shared with me why writing a book makes way more sense than slogging away at social right now:
​
🔥 1. Dominate Your Brand: A book makes you the go-to expert in your field, skyrocketing your reputation and making you impossible to ignore.
​
🔥 2. Elevate Your Profile: Being a published expert is like having a megaphone for your voice. It sets you apart from the noise and gets you noticed.
​
🔥 3. Snag Speaking Gigs: Want to command the stage? A book is your ticket to the mic, opening doors to speaking engagements where you can shine.
​
🔥 4. Get on Podcasts: Podcast hosts love authors. Being a guest gives you the chance to spread your message and reach new audiences.
​
🔥 5. Score Major PR: Books are media magnets. From interviews to features, being an author gets you the attention you deserve.
​
🔥 6. Boost Your Income: Your book is a lead magnet. Convert readers into paying clients, ramp up your clientele, and attract high-value opportunities.
​
🔥 7. Expand Your Circle: A book connects you with top-tier experts, influencers, and potential clients. Your network becomes your net worth.
​
🔥 8. Own the Online Space: Your book will give you all the social media content you need, generating you not just followers but leads… especially if you’ve a killer book funnel to convert readers into clients.
​
🔥 9. Command attention: Books commend focus and people act on them. They’re not 10 second views before the inevitable swipe. People who read your book will want to come back to YOU for more.
​
🔥 10. Lasting Legacy: Leave your mark with a book that inspires and influences for years to come. It’s your lasting contribution to the world. Books build your impact and your income.

You probably assume that the motivations - for each role - are also very different. But when you look a bit closer, they have quite some things in common. Think about it ...
