BTM 24: How a Brand Boosting Book Can Build Your Business with Julie Broad
Today on the show, we welcome Julie Broad. Julie is a bestselling Amazon author, the President of Book Launchers and has had a fascinating entrepreneurial journey in the real estate niche.
Julie bought her first duplex at age 23 and self-published her first book in 2013. Julie was told by publishers that her book wouldn’t sell, but her book crushed the publishers’ predictions by soaring to Number One, overall, in Canada. Four years later and her book is still making big sales!
Although Julie is currently writing her third book, her main focus today is to help self-publishers sell their work, as well as non-writers boost their brands and gain credibility through their books. This is done through her Book Launchers program; where her and her team help entrepreneurs and professionals go from concept to copies in half the time.
In this episode, Julie shares why she believes writing a book is equivalent to getting a degree. She is going to teach us how to establish ourselves as an authority in our field, how to energize our brands, how to publish our book and make sure that it rises to the top of the pack. If you’ve ever thought about writing a book but you’re scared, this is the episode for you!
