6. Becoming a Bestselling Author

Showing Up with Tolu Michaels

Becoming a self-published author does not have to be a struggle. Your story doesn't have to be "I finally did it, even though it took me 10 years of sweating, climbing 7 mountains and crossing 7 seas, but I finally completed my book."

No, it doesn't have to be that way for you. So in this episode, we bring you the help you needed.

Join our conversation and learn:

• Why you're not weird if you ended up with a different career than you imagined for yourself.
• How to decide what book to write first, especially if you're multi-talented.
• How to know a book whose time has come.
• The zero-cost way to validate your book idea.
• The smart way to build an audience for your book even if you're starting with only 2 followers
• Why your free content is not working 👀

What to remember: “You don't have to know everything to write a book, but don't write a book you cannot sell"
