If there is one thing a lot of women of faith in business are missing out on, it’s knowing how being an author boosts your business. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t start my business with being an author at the forefront of my mind. But, it didn’t take long to realize it would be a major part of helping grow my business. Over the past couple of years, I’ve helped other women become published authors and grow the reach of their businesses simply by sharing their stories.

3 Ways Being an Author Boosts Your Business

If you’ve never considered becoming an author, allow me to share ways becoming one will boost your business. 

Becoming an author establishes credibility.

In most people’s eyes, it takes a lot to become an author. And becoming must mean the author knows what they’re talking about. Although there is a process to getting your book published, the fact that you’d put forward the effort to do so says a lot. This also gives you the opportunity to go into depth about a subject you know a lot about. 

Being a mindset and visibility coach, I was able to put together an anthology that included other women in similar niches. The sole purpose of the books was to share my tools for having a mindset to manifest by means of a 10-day challenge and expertise of the co-authors. Every woman that participated established a new level of credibility in her field.

Being an author boosts your visibility.

Not only will becoming an author put you in front of more eyes, but it will also extend your reach. You may even notice a new demographic within your audience that was not there before. With the majority of most people’s reach being through social media, statistics show that reaching beyond your ideal client can sometimes be difficult. However, once you become a published author, you can begin reaching people who you may have never considered before.

You will add to your streams of income.

You’re probably familiar with the saying that most millionaires have multiple streams of income. Adding being an author to your list will provide you with another stream. Not to mention, this is one that could be considered residual because once you’ve written the book, it doesn’t have to be written again. From the written book, you can then start to form additional streams of income such as courses, a podcast, companion books, and so on. Simply put, from one book, you can add several streams of income.

Final Thoughts

I’ve had the privilege of putting together three anthologies with over 30 women of faith in business. Each one has been unique and very profitable for everyone involved. If you’re a little intimidated by becoming a published author, consider starting with participating in an anthology. I’ll be putting together my next one soon and you’re invited to be a part of it. There are many benefits to working with me, including handling all of the publishing steps all while providing you with PR opportunities. Fill out this form if you’re interested!
