The best way for a speaker to get known worldwide today

Viki has gone through all the different aspects people can use to get promoted. To her, by far the most powerful vehicle is your own book. Very few people get a book written and published. It’s a very elite crowd authors run in, and that’s why media and clients respect it.

Her very first book

Viki first thought, as many others do, that she didn’t have a story to tell. She was approached to do a book anthology, one chapter, but she delayed it for years. At some point she got frustrated with what authors were getting out of their books, and thanks to the experience working with many authors, she wrote the book Beyond Your Book. Discover the Many Ways You Can Use Your Book to Skyrocket Your Success!

Why speakers should write a book

Some of the most powerful reasons why it’s so important that a speaker has her own book are:

  • It develops a respect for people within your circle, your following.
  • It creates media opportunities, even when the book hasn’t been published yet.
  • It helps to close deals.

I’ve published my book, what’s next?

Before you publish your book, you have to have a plan, a marketing plan, a vision, your goals. You must have created strategic alliances that will allow you to promote your book: TV programs, radio shows, podcasts, etc. Book sales are the least of what a book does for you. What a book really does for you is to open doors.
