Resume Mini-Book Success
- Chris Stanley's shift to mini-books began when a 15,000-word chapter on resumes, spun off into a mini-book, outsold the main book.
- This showed him the power of niche focus and shorter, more specific content.
Start with a Power Promise
- Start your book writing process by defining a clear power promise – the specific outcome readers will achieve.
- This focus helps shape your outline, content, and ensures your book delivers a transformation.
Choose an Outline Model
- Use one of three outline models: the W's (Who, What, When, Where, Why, How), sequential steps, or 10 promises/mistakes.
- This provides structure and simplifies the writing process.
