How to Self-Publish a Book in 90-Days to Boost Your Personal Brand With Best-Seller Publisher Joanne Martin

How do you write a book and self-publish on your own? Publishing a book is a way to one of the best ways to build your brand authority in your niche.

In the second episode on books for personal brands, I interview Joanne Martin, a Sydney-Australia-based book publisher who helps personal brands, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs self-publish their first book in 90 days.

Joanne has helped numerous books land on best-seller lists and tells me it's not as hard as you think to get out there. Using your existing content is key to getting out there fast.

Joanne Martin highlights some great tips on writing a book, formatting, authenticity, book titles, and promotional strategies for self-publish books. 

We also discuss how to monetize your book after it's launched, an important reason a book can lead to lucrative opportunities and visibility.
