Julie Broad: Self-Publish and Succeed with #NoBoringBooks as an Author

Julie Broad, nicknamed "Julie-the-book-broad," is the bestselling author of "Self-Publish and Succeed, the No Boring Books way to Writing a Nonfiction Book that Sells." She heads up publishing company, Book Launchers, and is well known for her popular YouTube channel, where she posts self-publishing tips and tools twice a week and extols the importance of writing and publishing and non-boring nonfiction book.

In this interview with Caryl Westmore on the Write The Book Inside You Podcast, she talks about how to:

*Overcome your “inner monsters” by befriending them because they will always pop up during the writing process
*Outline your book as the key to writing faster and not waste time (which she learned the hard way by having 30 000 cut from one of her first books)
*Write “#noboringbooks
*Pay attention to a hooky title, subtitle and chapter headings (which should sparkle and sell a benefit )
*Reveal some of your own vulnerabilities in a nonfiction book—which she does admirably in her own books, showing how she made mistakes and learned from them
*Think all things marketing when you write a book. Too many writers write, publish and then think, “now what?”
*Don’t just deliver content in a nonfiction book—tell stories and have a story arc
*Pick a title that is memorable—and easy to say (on podcasts)
*Make sure the subtitle tells who this is for and why they need to read the book
*Get the url/domain for your book title if you can
*Turn rejection and setbacks into fuel to succeed better
*Finish your book. Some people spend five years rewriting their first chapter. Her attitude is—hand it to the professional copy editors and get on with finishing it.

On a personal level, Julie shares why, as an introvert, making YouTube videos suits her perfectly; and some of her best practices for staying healthy and fit for the long game.
