Black Card Books is the fastest growing book publishing company in the world right now , by title acquisition . Just in the last couple of years , we ’ ve acquired over 800 titles , so when most other publishing companies are going out of business , we ’ re growing by leaps and bounds .
In the Publish a Book and Grow Rich boot camps , we teach you everything you need to know about publishing your own book and you leave with all the tools to accomplish it on your own . That ’ s where we find our authors , naturally , but you don ’ t have to publish through Black Card Books . No matter what direction you go in — with your business , your life , your by writing a book is and its efficacy is shown in the results .
Being an artist is a business — it ’ s being a self-employed business professional . To the marketplace , you appear like everybody else ; however , if you ’ re an author , you instantly differentiate yourself . That ’ s the power of a book .
I don ’ t see the honour in being a ‘ starving artist ’. If you ’ re an artist , you have a fiduciary duty to put your message out in front of as many people as possible , and to be as successful as possible , for your own sake and for your art ’ s sake . There ’ s no better way to do it that I know of than writing a book and using it as a marketing tool . career or your book , what you ’ re going to learn in the boot camp is going to be a life-changing start to your book and career .
You can use that book to establish your credibility , differentiate yourself from everybody else who does what you do , and grow your business or your fan base as an artist . Using books as a marketing tool can attract elites , bring prospects to you so you ’ re not pushing all the time , and can be used to position you at the top of your industry .
Can every artistic task be put into words in a book ?
I would definitely say that it could always be done . Your art may not always be able to be put in words , depending on what you ’ re doing and what your message is — and I understand that — but to put words around it in order to get people to listen to you , that ’ s important and very doable .
At Black Card Books , and this is key , we ’ re not recommending that you write a book
What are some of the specific benefits of book writing for artists ?
Artists , specifically , tend to suffer because they ’ re very unique and they feel that that uniqueness — on its own — should be enough to differentiate them from everybody else , but frankly , it ’ s not . That uniqueness isn ’ t enough to show the world how different you are , but like Gone With the Wind that ’ s 600 pages of revolutionary , never-before-seen content . We ’ re recommending that you write a book that ’ s 112- 150 pages on your chosen subject that really makes you an expert .
Being an artist isn ’ t enough to make you an expert , but being an author does make you an instant expert .
