Step 1: Plan Out The Book

Before you publish anything, you need to write your book. Before writing that book, you must decide what your reader will take away from it. Deciding on the takeaway raises another question: Who is your reader?

Here are the questions and how I answered them for myself:

  1. Who is your reader? Nerdy Content Creators.
  2. What value does your book provide your readers? How to create a podcast that allows them to express themselves and reach out to their favorite creators.

After deciding what the book should be about, I started writing an outline on Scrivener.

An outline for the book makes it easy to write each section separately. It’s like writing an article and dividing it into subheadings.
