Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’m an entrepreneur and an author; wrote my first book from March till October 2016, which was about marketing, entrepreneurship and psychology: ’50 Cognitive Biases for an unfair advantage is Entrepreneurship’. I plan on writing more books.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
I’m about to start writing my official second book, called the ‘Avalanche Effect: Creating Endless Content For Your Online Business’. Which talks about a few different strategies to create endless content, whether blogs, video, infographics, books, etc, that attracts and delights your customers.
In late 2016 I finished my 1st book and loved the prospect of writing more- the challenge, the recognition and the reputation. And in November I started to learn about Inbound Marketing and realised that this was the perfect way to get traffic to your website using a long-term strategy.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No. I may be too early to the game to have developed any.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Seth Godin has inspired me to write a multitude of books. I appreciate how he has taken his ideas and turned them into a reality. He’s given his thoughts, ideas and philosophy a channel for the world to be exposed to them, and a chance for people to accept or reject them.
Furthermore, I aim to write fiction books in the future and I’m inspired by Terry Pratchett and J.R.R Tolkien, but I’m also making way through a writer’s guide to Harry Potter. I’m not going to write fiction half heartidly.
What are you working on now?
I’ working on a small book at the moment: 101 questions and answers for Entrepreneurs. Where I take 101 different questions about starting a business, mindset, attitude, law of attraction, money, etc, and answer them in attempt to help budding and fledgeling entrepreneurs.
And a few other books after that
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I take the topic of the book and break it down into different blog ideas, in which I write a blog about and create a video about.
This way I can market the book for free, whilst building momentum around my brand and establishing myself online all for free.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Define your overall idea, break it down into 15 chapters, then put those chapters into logical order and reduce to 10. Create 18 points for each chapter and then reduce it down to 15 and put into logical order. This is a very quick and easy way to come up with a template for a book and an easy way to write your book.
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Do your idea justice: write it down and share it. Seth Godin.
What are you reading now?
I’m to be a little sporadic with it came to reading and I’d read different books at the same time.
50 Shades of Grey, Writer’s Guide to Harry Potter and Crossing the Chasm: Marketing and Selling Disruptive Products to Mainstream Customers, which I’ve tried to read for over a year but I’ve learnt what the book wants to teach me from experience, lectures and listening to the author.
I also have a collection of nonfiction pdf books on my computer which I’ve turned into a rule to read them one by one and take notes. A little bit overwhelmed with knowledge and really trying to focus down. But I’m mainly writing my own books at the moment, and there’s loads of ideas…
What’s next for you as a writer?
writing my own books, got around 6 left to do, each of varying size and scale.
Once those are all done I aim to create content for them (blogs, videos etc) to build an online momentum and reputation. Which I’ll then be focusing on my 3rd business for a while to establish momentum and do the same with that. The business is WeWantHemp, which champions the use of Hemp and brings it into the mainstream conscious.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
1. Survival book.
2. Basic ship building.
3. Journal and pen- to document my experience so I can then turn those lessons into more books.
