📚 3 Questions to Ask Before You Start Writing Your Book

🔥

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is jumping straight into writing before answering a few important questions. Writing the book is the time-consuming part, so you want to make sure you're building on a strong foundation first.

1️⃣ Who exactly am I writing this for?

"Everyone" isn't your audience. Get specific. Who is this person? What are they struggling with? What problem are they trying to solve? The clearer you are, the easier it becomes to create content that actually connects.

2️⃣ Is there demand for this topic?

Just because a topic sounds interesting doesn't automatically mean people are actively searching for it. Spend time validating demand. Are people searching for it on Amazon? Are similar books selling? Is there evidence that readers are looking for help with this problem?

3️⃣ What transformation or outcome am I helping them achieve?

People don't buy books because they want pages... they buy them because they want a result.

They're buying:

✔ Better relationships

✔ Less stress

✔ More confidence

✔ A new skill

✔ A solution to a problem

Ask yourself: What will someone be able to do, feel, or understand after reading my book?

Before you write a single chapter, answer these three questions.
