Hey, revenue writers.
Welcome back to the Revenue Writers Podcast by Mini Book Publishing. I'm your host, Chris Stanley. And so today we're gonna talk about what is a, a revenue writer, right? You're hanging out on this podcast, you're like, I don't really know what this guy's all about. So I'm gonna tell you exactly what I'm about by reading you the Revenue Writer's Manifesto.
We are revenue writers. We turn ideas into income stories, into strategies and passion into products. We don't wait for permission. We don't play by the rules. We create our own categories and claim them as ours. Our mini books are more than just pages bound together.
They're credibility builders. Lead generators and revenue machines. There are tools that open doors and build businesses. We don't dabble in writing. We don't tinker with half-hearted attempts. We design, we build and we scale. We help others not by shouting into the void, but by solving real problems and delivering real value.
We refuse to be invisible. We refuse to be overlooked. We take control and we plant our flag and we make ourselves undeniable. Okay. We are not just writers, we are creators of impact, builders of businesses and drivers of our own destinies. We are revenue writers, and this is our time. So that's what we're talking about.
If that gets you excited, if any of that resonates with you, then you might be in the right place. Um, now. Maybe you're listening to this and you're like, I don't know if I want to build a business, but somebody told me to listen to this podcast because I wanted to write a book. Yeah. You could totally take pieces of what we're gonna talk about here and say, I don't wanna build a business with it.
I just wanna write a book quick and easy. I wanna use your mini book format. No problem. You can totally use the things here. But I'd encourage you as an revenue writer, uh, that you would think. Yep. About your writing differently because you're listening to this podcast that you would think about it in terms of what am I building with it?
What problem am I solving? And you might say, Chris, I'm not even in nonfiction. I wanna write a fiction book and I want to do a mini book. Okay, not exactly the right podcast, but let me challenge you with something. Mr. Or Mrs. Fiction, writer, if you were writing something, anything, whether it's fiction or nonfiction.
You should be solving a problem if you're writing a fiction story. It could be you're, you're solving a problem of loneliness. Maybe it, it's a story for, you know, a grandma who is lonely and you are telling an interesting, cozy mystery story and you're solving the problem of her loneliness, keeping her entertained while she's lonely.
But if you hold in your mind the problem that you solve. You will write more revenue. I guarantee it. If you are writing a nonfiction book and you are like, Hey, no, I don't wanna start a business, I just want to teach people how to, you know, intermittently fast. Okay, great. Think about the problem they're having.
Focus on that. And even if you decide not to build a business, your book will be more successful. It'll be tighter, it'll be more helpful and more impactful to those you're writing for. So even if you're not here to build a ginormous business, I get it. You might just be here to write a book, but if you're gonna write a book and you want it to be good and you want it to empower people and impact people, then you need to focus on the problem the way that a business person would you.
You hold the problem first in mind and then you write to that problem. If you start the other way around like, Hey, I got a cool story to build, um, and a cool story to tell in this world to build, but you don't know what problem that world. Solves or that story solves, then it's a whole lot harder to make something resonate with people.
So that's one of the biggest things I've learned. So whether you're here to be a revenue writer and build a business, or whether you're here just to learn about writing and publishing short books, focus on the problem and your writing is gonna get better. Alright, until next episode, keep writing your way to your life.
