  Speaker 1: Well, good afternoon, good afternoon, good afternoon, and welcome back
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: again for our Lunch and Learn series. I know you're
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: wondering where is this lady. So y'all, today it's been
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: one of those days. Of course, it's just raining here.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: I'm just a woman of my word. If I say
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something, I try to make sure that
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: that I do it. I feel really bad because I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: was sick on last night. I overslept for my sive
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Am prayer call, and my day has just been just
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: been crazy. It's just like when I miss save a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: m prayer. My day is just off the rocker. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I did not want to put you guys aside because
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I was having one of those days. I still wanted
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to do what I said I was gonna do, and
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: that is to provide you guys with some resources that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: can help you take your book journey to the next level.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: So yesterday we actually talked about draft to Digital, the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: various platforms that are a part of after Digital, and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: how you can utilize those platforms to really expand your distribution,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to really get your book out there, to have your
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: book in different places. If you're someone that really have
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a message that you really want to get that message
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: out overseas. It does not matter you know who the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: individual is. The message will resonate to different races, different genders,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: different ethnic groups, things of that nature. This is definitely
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a platform that you want to attach to, whether it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a children's book, whether it's the only thing is journals.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: They are not kindly to journals because at first these
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: books go up as ebooks and they're distributed out. Having
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: your book available as a e book. I tell everybody
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: make sure you have your book available as a e
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: book because everybody don't want books, and those that still
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: want books, if they can get the e book and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: then they read the e book or they see the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: e book or whatever, then they will purchase the book.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: That's normally how it goes. When people or read an
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: e book, they love it, they gotta have the paperback.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: They want to get that paper back in their hand.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So this is definitely a great platform to utilize. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: if you do not have your books in a e
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: book format, please utilize this platform and get it in
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: that ebook platform. And like we discussed on yesterday, it
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: gives you an option to have your book and all
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of these various platforms that you may be able to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: be seen and heard. So I definitely want you guys
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to make sure that you go back and check out
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the video from yesterday and get a chance to look
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: at some of the different platforms or whatever. But today

  Speaker 1: some of the pros. I'm gonna share the pros and
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: then we'll go we'll go to the cons. So some
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of the pros for using the Drafted Digital platform. It
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: is usually it has a usually a user friendly interface.

• 7:21
  Speaker 1: designed to simplify the writing process and allows the user
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to focus more on content creation than the navigation. It
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: has collaborating tools. One of the standout features of Drafted
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Digital is the the just the ability to be able
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to collaborate. Writers can easily share documents with editors and

  Speaker 1: any Internet connection is The flexibility is ideal for writers

• 8:35
  Speaker 1: previous version if necessary. This feature protects against accidental deletion
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: or unwanted alterations provided, providing you with a piece of
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a peace of mind on editing, because I know that
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: can be one of the most aggravating processes and sometimes
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: we get on here on these different platforms and we
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: may lead all our stuff and then we got to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: start all over. But they have things in tech that
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: will help you from deleting your projects. In case you
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: may accidentally delete it, they're able to recover it. And
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: they also have some more various tools. They have a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: lot of digital tools software enhancement features. Writers can effortsly
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: import and export documents in different formats, ensuring compallibility with
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: industry standards and applications. Now Here are some of the cuns.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Some of the CNS is there is limited offline access
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: while cloud based is natural for the digital to draft
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: to digital platform and its advantages, but it also has
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: limited assets For those that want to use it offline,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: there is there is subscription costs involved. Drafted Digital operates
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: on a subscription based model, which might not be feasible
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: for everyone. While it offers a range of features, potential
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: users must weigh in on the costs against their budget
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and pacific needs. So just understanding what your needs are
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in what you have to budget and if this is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a platform that is suitable for you. There are learning curves.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Despite it is a user friendly design, some users they
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: find the array of features and options overwhelming at first.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Investing time and learning how to fully utilize the platform,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: it's necessary, which may be a hurdle for those seeking
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: immediate results. So with everything, y'all, time and patience taking
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: time to learn how to truly utilize the platform, because
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: if you really truly utilize the platform, it is a
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: great platform. There's a lot of options. I have truly
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: been pleased, even though I don't know how to do
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: everything over here, y'all. My most important thing was being
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: able to allow my books and my projects to be
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: able to be out in distribution, and to be available
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: in these various outlets. So that's why I chose draft
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: to digital. I'm going to say this to that person
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that's looking for immediately royalties, and if you're looking for
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: bookoo royalties, then this is definitely not the platform for
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: you because a lot of this you, of course y'all know,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: whenever you're dealing with digital, digital is is you definitely
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: don't get paid a lot on digital. And then with
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: this particular platform, you're dealing with a lot of libraries.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: You're dealing with a lot of institutions like secondary libraries,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: which will be college libraries, academic, different platforms. So understanding
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that people will be borrying through digital, it's not like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: they're going to be purchasing the book. So it's gonna
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: be a lot of barring. So you're gonna be making
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: pennies like thirty two cent hand, forty two cent hand,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: fifty cent here, sixty cent here. So it's gonna add
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: up over time, and then the more and more people
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: utilize it, the more and more you'll get. But if
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you just put it out there and just let your
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: stuff get out there, then when you start googling yourself,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you're gonna see that your books is available in these
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: various platforms and various overseas companies and different things. Because
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: now you set yourself up to where people can buy
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: your books at wholesale price if you go if you
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: deal with instance, Spark and Blurt. I deal with Blurt.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: So whenever we put our book up on a global
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: distribution with Blurt, so it tells you how much individuals
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: would be able to buy your book at wholesale price,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: what your cut would be, and then of course you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: know the company Blurt get theirs. So when you're figuring
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: up your price, you figure all that in there and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: they tell you what you have to sell it for,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the amount you have to sell it for, and sometimes
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: when you put it on the global platform, sometimes it's
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a little higher than you would it would be on
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Amazon and some of these other Lulah and some of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: these other platforms, so you have to think about that too.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So you really have to think about if you really
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: trying to get the book out there or if you
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: really trying to make money, And then that's when you're
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: gonna decide which platforms you're gonna use and how you're
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: going to use these platforms, how are you gonna utilize
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: these platforms. Tomorrow, you're going to actually have Doctor Josiah.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He's going to be coming on and talking about how
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: to funnel and how how you can you know, make
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: money while you sleep off of your digital products and
• 14:31

• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not on social media. I'm not on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: social media. Well, babe, social media is one of those platforms.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: If you go to any marketing class, now, you take
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: any marketing class, you take any branding class, you take
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: any any type of business class, now that it's going
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to be one of the things that they are going
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to be talking to you about. So if you're one
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: of those people that do not do social media, then
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: don't expect to sell a whole whole lot. But you
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: may selling your But you can really really if you're
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: utilizing your online presence. Investing a website, optimize the search engines,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: make your website use a friendly and provide the necessary
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: information about your products and your services. Leverage social media
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: height don't run away from it. Utilize platforms like Instagram.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: A lot of people say they don't want to use Facebook.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Use Facebook. I'm not particularly about Twitter. But engage with
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: potential customers. Share your value, but share your content. Run
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: promotions for your book, build a community around your brand.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: If people don't know who you are, then they can't
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: support you. Offer discounts and run commercial so people can
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: get an idea of what you do in the type
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: of brand that you have. Another thing is improve customer service.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Some of y'all are so rude. Some of y'all are
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: so mean. Some of y'all don't even know what the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: word gratitude is because a lot of us may say
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: we are introverts, but that does not cause for us
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to be rude mean in any of that. Deliver exceptional
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: customer service to build trust and maintain loyal customers, positive
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: positive energy, positive experiences because they lead to repeat purchases
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and referrals. So improve your customer service. Be present, be visible,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: not only that. Gather and showcase your reviews like somebody
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: asks me, or reviews or reviews important. Yes, reviews are imported.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: People need to know how other people look at your stuff,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: how other people have viewed your stuff. People that have
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: seen your stuff, they can draw off of that. If
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: you got a thousand reviews over there and they're all
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: good reviews, then guess what If they're reading that. The
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: people are getting intrigued by what other people are saying.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Now they want to go know for themselves, really what
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: these people talking about. So it encourages you to satisfy
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: your customers. When they leave you good positive reviews, it
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: does something to you. It makes you want to continue
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: to produce good stuff. So make sure that you encourage
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: your supporters to leave reviews, and then when they leave
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the reviews, show the reviews other reviews. You know, highlight
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the people that leave you reviews because when you recognize
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: your supporters, they'll continue to support. Optimize your product listings.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: That means ensure that your product listings have clear, detailed descriptions,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: high quality images, and are accurately priced. This helped convey
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a value and persuade potential buyers. So make sure your
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: stuff is in line, make sure it is it is,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: it is in place, that it is in order. And
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: then y'all, we have to analyze. We have to analyze
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: and track our sales performances, our customer behavior, and then
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you got to adapt with the insight that you that
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: you've taken in. If if you're getting bad then figure
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: out why you're getting bad reviews. Don't get mad because
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: you're getting the bad reviews. Figure out why you're getting
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the bad reviews. Because most of the time, when people
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: leave a bad review, they usually tell you, I'm just
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna speak for our book review because we
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: have a book reviewer here at Aspiring Office Magazine, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: sometimes she have to give you a two or three
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: or one. And if she give you those those one stars,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: those two stars, and those three stars, most of the time,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: not all of the time, she's gonna tell you what
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: you did wrong, what she felt like could have been different,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: what you can do to improve, whether you go back
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: and do it, it's totally up to you. But it
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: is to help you with your next book. Because if
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: you get feedback and you get responses from those that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: support you and those that have bought your stuff, and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: then you go back and you you correct those things
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and you you perfect and you make the next project better,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: then they are truly gonna appreciate that. They gonna feel like, hey,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: my thought, my perspective, it mattered, that they really care.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: It's not just about money to them, Like people really
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: want to know that they're not just the number to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you and they're not just money to you, but they
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: really have an opinion that you really value their thought,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: that you really value them as a person, even though
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: they are your supporter and they can pull encouragement and
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: things off of you. You know, sometimes they just want
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that little the little backpack on the back too, just
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, I thank you. I appreciate you for
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: even supporting me, for taking time to leave a review
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: because they don't don't have to, you know, So y'all,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I just want to drop some of those nuggets for y'all.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Y'all know we're not gonna stay on loan because I
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: know that this is most of you guys. Lunch hour
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: for those that are tuning in. I hope that I
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: am dropping some nuggets that will help you on this
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: journey as a writer and taking your brand to the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: next level and seeing how you can do something that
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: maybe you've never done before. Like every every month, every day,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: every year, we should be doing something different with our brand,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: something different with our books, something different with our thinking,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: something outside of the norm. Because we as people, we
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: sometimes get complacent and we get sometimes so caught up
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and being comfortable with where we are. So I want
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to challenge you guys to keep looking outside of the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: box and keep figuring out what else, What is the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: next level I can go to. What is the next
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: thing I can do with my books, What is the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: next thing I can do with my brand? Because y'all,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: there's always something that we can do to grow from
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: where we are. Because we're we're always supposed to be elevating.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: So just as we're elevating spiritually, we got to elevate.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: We got to elevate those things in the physical too.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So you can't keep putting out the same quality of work.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: You gotta elevate your work. If you've been writing books
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: for ten, fifteen, twenty years, you got to elevate, you
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: got to evolve. You got to move past what you
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: was doing twenty years ago. Because technology has evolved. Things
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: have evolved. So just as these things evolved, you got
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to be willing to evolve too, so that you can
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: keep up with with the new generation, so that you
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: can be able to leave something for the generation coming behind.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: You have to stay in tune. Got to stay in tune,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and then touch y'all. But I'm out of here, y'all.
• 28:05
