How to write a book survey results

After carrying out a really quick but powerful survey about writing a book, I wanted to share the results.

I asked ‘What is your biggest challenge when it comes to writing a book?‘ and where this fitted into the six step process that I teach my clients and through my book, Your Book is the Hook.

As of lunchtime on Tuesday 9 June, 204 people had completed the survey and you can click here to visually see the results.

The three things that stop people from writing their book are…

1. Time… 20% of people explicitly mentioned that time is their biggest barrier to writing their book.

2. Getting started… Most people have a reason that stops them from getting off the starting block.

3. Defining their content… These are some of the things you’ve been telling me that you’re struggling with:

• Getting everything down on paper in a workable way
• Getting the right message over in a way that is attractive and easy to understand
• Knowing what to write about that is unique in the market place and will sell
• Being crystal clear on the greatest challenges facing my ideal reader and how to grab their attention with the solution
• Getting my ideas organised into logical chapters and finding the time to do it
• Making it stand out from all the others of the same genre
• Getting all the ideas, stories and insights down on paper and building a structure from there
• Creating outstanding and valuable content that will engage and thrill the readers
• Trying to find my inner voice that is able to express all my insights, knowledge, wisdom and experience to help others
• And planning, creating an outline, structure and more!

How can you break through these challenges and write your book?

That’s why I decided to put together a free masterclass on this very topic and you can register for the recording.

There’s not much point in putting aside time to write or getting started, unless you’ve nailed the right topic and idea first. And that’s what I’ll be helping you with on this online webinar.
