Michelle Vandepas on Why You Should Consider Becoming an Author

The Authority that Comes with Being A Published Author

 

Michelle Vandepas Notable Quotes

“If you self-publish and you don’t have the funds, you should still spend some money on some really good layout and design, a book cover, and good editing—those are the three places you really ought to put some cash to make sure that even if you self-publish, when your book’s out there, it represents you in such a way that it looks high-quality and you’re proud of it.”
Michelle Vandepas

“The number one way to market is to figure out where your audience hangs out and market there.”
Michelle Vandepas

 

Episode Summary

There’s a sort of magic and some bit of authority that comes with being able to say, “I wrote a book.” As health coaches, many of us have a lot to say and have meaningful messages to share with our audience, and one way we could do that is by publishing a book. But what exactly goes behind writing and then publishing your own book?

In this episode of Health Coach Academy­, we’re talking to author, publishing house co-owner, and book coach Michelle Vandepas to give us a little run-through on why we should consider writing our own books and the process that goes behind publishing our books.
