14: Jeff Goins Shares His Strategy for Publishing a Best-Selling Book

Today I’m very pleased to welcome Jeff Goins on the show. Jeff is the author of four books, including the national best-seller, "The Art of Work". He’s also a full-time blogger, speaker, and entrepreneur. Jeff’s award-winning blog, GoinsWriter.com, has been visited by over four million people from around the world, and his work has been featured in the Washington Post, USA Today, Entrepreneur, Forbes, and Psychology Today.  In this episode, Jeff dives deep into a number of topics, such as how he found his calling as a writer, and how his new book is motivating people around the world to discover — and pursue — their calling in life. Jeff also offers some practical advice for writers trying to hone their craft and build their platform.  He also breaks down the innovative strategy he used to successfully launch his new book, "The Art of Work", which hit several best-seller lists and sold over 20,000 copies in just the first month after publication.  He covers so much more in this conversation, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. And, if you listen all the way to the end of this episode, you’ll get to hear Jeff talk about the time when he became an unexpected rock star in Taiwan. It’s pretty funny, I have to admit. You can find all of the show notes and links to Jeff’s books, and the books he mentioned in this episode, over at writewithimpact.com/episode14.
