Step 8 : Begin the marketing process. This includes promotional activity leading up to your launch day, plus everything that happens on launch day. Be sure you have a landing page prepared for the call-to-action you include in your book. Also, plan your follow-up email sequences. Step 9 : Launch day. Step 10 : Follow-up.

Your book is a lead gen tool. Every time someone signs up to receive your free lead magnet listed in your book , you build your email list. There are several ways to find co-authors. Of course, that could get difficult because you might get far more people interested than you have room for. After all, a book with fifty co-authors is a bit much. But then again, you could do more than one book and call them Volume 1, Volume 2, etc. Again, if you have a big list, you could end up with far too many interested co-authors than what you can handle.

You could write a post on LinkedIn where you talk about the vision of your book and the benefits of co-authoring with you, and then ask interested people to contact you. You could also create a landing page with a sign-up form, and then run ads that send traffic to that page. What makes a good co-author? For example, we did a co-authored book called Overcoming Adversity in Entrepreneurship , and some off the most powerful stories were not the most well written.

You want someone who will be easy to work with and who communicates well. You want barriers to entry. The higher the perceived value for potential co-authors, the more they will be willing to pay.

Increased responsibilities is another barrier to entry you can use. You want your co-authors to share your vision for the book and its potential impact. This means that you first need to know what that vision is and then you need to communicate it in a way that creates the same passion in your co-authors and eventually, your readers.

Creating a style sheet and agreeing on word choice and usage can help reduce those differences. You can add to the stylesheet as you go along, provided that you both agree on those style decisions. For example, Heidi and I will say 'holistic medicine' rather than 'alternative medicine'. That's because our position is that there's nothing 'alternative' about a holistic approach to health.

This does a couple of things. It opens the door to a more strategic discussion that gets us talking about core beliefs. And it will reduce the time and energy spent during the editing phase when we'd otherwise have to align our language after the fact.

You might use the anthology approach, where you keep each chapter as a separate unit. You can add a byline underneath the chapter title to show who wrote that chapter. This approach works well with books that discuss several topics or different aspects of the same topic. However, it opens the door to overlap or completely different approaches to the same topic. To avoid this, plan your outline very carefully.

However, if you each have a story to tell, you can tell them in parallel. One way to make this work is to plan your narrative structure in detail. Let each of your stories move forward at the same pace. At Ingenium Books, this approach is working with two of our authors who are co-authoring a memoir about their shared—but separate—experiences as mothers of adult children who came out as transgender. It took us awhile to sort out how exactly to present this to the reader, but we've got a solid plan now.
