Författarkarriär
Först omgiven av dessa författare idag och där stärks min inre röst som lockar mig till mitt eget skrivande och nu finner jag en länk med den här hoppfulla texten på Facebook…
”Being you has never been so valuable. Self-expression is in. Personality pays. These are the fundamental truths of today’s wild world online. If ever there was a time to hone your expertise and build your following, it is, most certainly, now.
Everyone’s nobody until they’re Somebody. Tim Ferriss, Deepak Chopra, Suze Orman — they all experienced the ultimate in anonymity until the day they became Somebody. Thankfully, the Internet has placed those reins firmly in your hands. Look at Justin Halpern, who got a major book (and sitcom!) deal, thanks to his outrageously popular Twitter feed.
Your book opens doors. A successful book can be your gateway to bigger, better opportunities. From growing your business to leveraging media attention to launching a new career, a top-selling book gives you far more credibility, and your expertise far more value.
Success is not a magic pill. When you’re not where you want to be in your career or your life, it’s easy to idolize people who have achieved what you aspire to. The truth is, people like you become bestselling authors every week. They didn’t suddenly land on the New York Times bestseller list. They dedicated themselves, usually over a period of years, to achieving their dreams.
It’s no secret that the publishing industry is facing a tidal wave of change. Kindles, iPads, social media, and countless other factors are quickly changing how we consume information, which affects when, why, and how the industry delivers content.
For authors, however, the bottom line is simple: the more available books become–whether on our bedside tables or our iPhones — the more we thirst for them.
Rather than sitting on the sidelines waiting for The Answer, I urge you to jump in and share your wisdom with the world. We honestly can’t wait to hear what you have to say.”
