In this episode of LinkedIn for Entrepreneurs, I’m joined by author, ghostwriter, and self-publishing expert Lynn "Elikqitie" Smargis to talk about why writing a book can completely change how people see your authority online. We cover the biggest differences between self-publishing, hybrid publishing, and traditional publishing, plus the mistakes most first-time authors make before they even start writing. Lynn also shares why niching down matters, how to structure your book with a clear outline, and the publishing horror stories every entrepreneur should know before signing a contract. If you’ve ever thought about writing a book to support your personal brand, credibility, or business growth, this episode will save you a lot of time, stress, and confusion.
