Chapters
I recommend Book Launchers because you will end up with a book that is not boring. As somebody who has read hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of personal development and nonfiction business type books, it's tough to find a book that's entertaining. And I think what's nice about Julie and the team at Book Launchers is that there are no boring books allowed. You're going to walk away with something that's fun, that's unique, that's in your own voice, and that's quality. I'm constantly complimented on the quality of this book, so I think they did a wonderful job. My name is Nick Hutchison and my book is titled Rise of the Reader. Before writing my book, I had a hard time articulating a lot of the frameworks that I used to retain and implement more from the other books I was reading. But since I wrote my book, I now have an opportunity to teach people in a clear and concise way. I oftentimes gift a copy of this book to the people that are asking me some of those questions. And so life is definitely better as a result of having this. What I was looking for with Book Launchers was accountability. I needed somebody who held me to the fire, who constantly required me to do the work and then provided me feedback on it. I don't work well in a silo or in a vacuum. I need a little bit of community and Book Launchers was able to provide that for me. Otherwise, I don't think I would have been able to complete my book project. The number one benefit that I experienced working with Book Launchers was the accountability around getting my book done. I mean, now that it's out there in the world and it's impacted thousands and thousands and thousands of people, I'm just so happy on the positive impact that I've been able to make. And so, again, documenting a decade worth of information into this book and then being able to gift it to people or provide it as a business card or gift it when I do public speaking. I mean, all of those things have been really useful for me. I knew Book Launchers was right for me when I met Julie. Julie has so much charisma and knowledge and she's so much fun to work with. I think a lot of people see her online teaching and providing value and she's the same person behind the scenes that she is in front of the camera. So I think working with her, I knew that I was going to get a good quality outcome. And that was really important for me as an author. Having a book has improved my life in so many ways. Yes, I'm doing more podcasts. Yes, I'm doing more speaking gigs, and I'm able to gift the book to each audience as a way to take what I teach them and continue the learning offline. But also, this is a great testament for the business that I run. I run a book marketing company, and so telling the success story that I had to prospective clients about working on this book and selling so many thousands of copies into my audience. It's a great business card, and it's helped me elevate my career in so many different ways. And it doesn't hurt when anybody out there in the universe types my name into Amazon and they see a book with hundreds of positive reviews as a result of the work that I did with book launchers.
