The Writer’s Journey from Writing to Publishing with Two Penny Publishing

📔 Greg Dixon talks with Thomas Goodlet, Sr., owner of Two Penney Publishing, about his journey from music to running a book publishing company. And what your publishing journey would look like with Two Penney Publishing. 📚

As a writer, you have a lot of different options for publishing your book, from learning how to publish for free or nearly free with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) and IngramSpark to Traditional Book Publishing.

The road to traditional publishing is long and nearly impossible for most authors. Most major publishers have self-publishing divisions. For example, Hay House Publishing has Balboa Press.

Two Penney Publishing provides an affordable middle option.

No matter which path you choose, the publishing journey includes a number of steps, including:

✅ Writing

✅ Editing

✅ Formating

✅ Illustrations

✅ Cover Design

✅ Marketing

✅ Submitting

✅ Audiobook Production

The team at Two Penny Publishing has specialists in each area to help you every step of the way, starting with writing and book development coaching.

While your online presence may not completely suck, there is likely room for improvement.

Here is an exercise to do a self-assessment.

Review Your Online Presence As Though You Were A Potential Client

Put on your visitor hat and look honestly at your online presence.

Here are some things to look for:

  • Do you appear in Searches when you search for your name?
  • Do you appear in searches for the type of products and services that you offer now?
  • Do the services appearing in searches reflect what you are doing now?
  • Would you click on the link?
  • Do your LinkedIn and other social media profiles present you and what you do magnetically.
  • Are your profiles up to date with what you are doing now?
  • Is your website up to date?
  • Is the messaging across the platforms coherent?
  • Do you clarify what you offer and how to purchase your goods and services?

I create a free online assessment for Total Traffic and Conversion.

Your Customer Journey?

Do all of the steps presented online make it easy for people to make an appointment with you, learn about your offers, sign up for your mailing list, purchase your offers, or otherwise become part of your sales process?

Walk through all of the steps on the customer journey and note all the missing parts and potholes along the way that are costing you credibility and customers.
