What makes a book truly great? We often measure success by numbers, but as an aspiring author, Josh Steimle came to realize that popularity doesn't always equate to greatness. So, as we navigate the world of writing, let's remember that greatness transcends popularity and that seeking diverse feedback is key to refining our craft.

There are books out there that I think are great books that aren't nearly that popular. The average self published book sells 250 copies during its lifetime. Most books are not selling 16,000 copies. Among one of the best books I've ever read on entrepreneurship was actually a book that inspired me to write my first book and it's called Entrepreneurs at Work. It was written by Jessica Livingston and it's an amazing book. How many copies has it sold? Maybe a couple thousand. It probably has not sold in the last 15 years the number of copies that Ramosa cells in a single month. But I still think it's a great book because I liked it and it was really helpful to me. And I think any entrepreneur founder who reads it would get a lot of value out of it. But for a lot of other audiences, it wouldn't be that valuable because it's not tapping into something that they want is broad based appeal. Something that makes a book great, no, sells a lot of books, doesn't necessarily mean the books great. So there's a lot of subjectivity there, right? We all have different opinions. It might be easier to talk about what makes a book not so great. Bad writing, bad editing, having no audience that. Connects with the book. Nobody really wants to read it, and it's easy to get tricked into thinking you've got something great because it's interesting to you. But we're so biased and subjective, it behooves all of us as authors to go out and get other people to read our book before we put it out there. Not that we should trust everything completely that other people say about our book, whether it's good or bad. If you show a book to your mom, she's going to say it's awesome and it's incredible. What she means is, I can't believe that this person I gave birth to wrote this thing and put a bunch of words on paper. But. She would say the same thing about the book that you wrote in when you were five years old, about a jet. So it's like your mom's gonna love your book no matter what, and if you give it to haters, they're gonna hate on your book no matter how great it is. And if you give it to an editor or a book person, they're like haters. That's their job, to look at all the holes in your book and tell you what's wrong with it. So it's hard, but if you give it to enough people and you get constantly good feedback from people and they start spreading it around, we're on to something.

There's one question that keeps coming up about my podcast, so I wanted to answer here… (In case you've been wondering too) 'Maggie, will the episodes be short and to the point, or are you going full-on storyteller mode?' Well, that's a great question! Since it's called the Painless Posting Podcast, I'm keeping things concise and actionable. I'll give you all the social media tips and tricks you need without the fluff—quick, practical, and (hopefully) a lot of fun! Got any other questions? I'm an open book! 🎙️ 🤩 👩💻 #MasterItMedia #SocialMedia #PainlessPosting #PainlessPostingPodcast #SocialMediaPodcast #SocialMediaShortcuts #socialmediatips #SocialMediaStrategy #SimplifyingSocialMedia
