Why Every Leader Must Blog (Giveaway)

I wrote a book I’d like you to have.

(I’m also giving away a $50 Amazon gift card. Read more about this at the bottom)

What’s it about?

The premise is quite simple: I firmly believe every leader must blog. And not just if you’re a pastor, teacher, or a spiritual leader; every kind of leader.

I believe in that principle so much I wrote a book on the subject. It’s called: “Why Every Leader Must Blog: 7 Reasons to Start Now and 11 Tips to Get Started.”

Honestly, blogging has changed my life in many different ways, and I’d love to share that blessing with you.

What’s in the book?

• How blogging is the perfect medium to help you learn and remember more
• How blogging helps you gain more perspective on anything
• How blogging could help you inspire your team and those who work around you
• The connection between blogging and better health
• How blogging helps and prepares you to teach classes and write books
• How blogging can make you a better speaker and communicator

In part two I address the 3 most common objections people have to blogging. Have you ever thought any of these yourself?

• “I don’t have enough time.”
• “I don’t know what to write about.”
• “I don’t have the technical ability to blog.”

In the last section I share 11 strategies on how you can get started blogging fast. These include the basics of what I’ve learned in over five years of blogging and how you can get launched successfully.

Will it take me forever to read?

I created this little book to be read in one sitting. I want you to be able to implement what you read as soon as possible. Enjoy!
