    The Authority Show

    If you are a coach, consultant or course creator then chances are you are driven by the desire to help as many people as you can, and leave a lasting impact. You have experience that needs to be shared. Knowledge that needs to be taught. A message that needs to be heard. Plus, a business that needs to be scaled. But in the age when anyone with an opinion can shout about it on the internet, why is it that some coaches are able to cut through the noise and position themselves as true influencers with something meaningful to share? What is it that they are doing that you haven’t figured out yet? The answer, of course, is writing their book. Because writing a book is the most powerful way to position yourself as a thought leader and the go-to expert in your niche. Because when you do that, you are going to be able to 10x your influence, your impact and your income. I’m Jessica Killingley and I’m a book mentor, coach and literary agent. I work with ambitious entrepreneurs who help other people to do extraordinary things. I’m going to be sharing my experience from over two decades in publishing and everything I know about selling books, creating bestsellers, personal development, coaching and business, so that you can get a brilliant book out into the world that’s going to turn delighted readers into devoted clients. Welcome to The AUTHORity Show.

    Ep 038: How your book drives high-ticket offers [mini series]

    Ep 038: How your book drives high-ticket offers [mini series]

    Well, here we are at the final episode of our book funnel mini-series and I’ve saved the best for last. Today we’re talking high-ticket, baby! (It’s always my favorite subject.)

     

    So far, we’ve looked at WTF a book funnel actually is, how it can grow your membership, and how you can use it to sell digital products. While all of these are fantastic, I have one unspoken goal for all of my clients, and that’s to make back their investment (at the very least). 

    As much as I’d love for them to do that with book sales or $200 workshops, they’ll get the most bang for their buck when they are able to get clients to invest in high-ticket offers.

    That's why in this episode of The AUTHORity Show, I’ll cover what a high-ticket item looks like, why clients might choose it over other offers, and why these types of experiences can go for a larger investment. 

    Then you will have heard every episode and will have everything you need to set up your book funnel the way you want to set it up. You can include one thing, a few of them, or if it strikes your fancy, you can use them all.

     

    Just be sure to hang around until the end because there’s an added bonus that will round out our book funnel series — you won’t want to miss it.

     

    Tune in and when you’re done, come find me on Instagram @jessicakillingley and let me know how you plan to use your book funnel.

    Here are the highlights:
    {2:11} Why would someone take up a high ticket offer?
    {4:10} The importance of maximising PR on launch
    {5:47} A high ticket solves a higher percentage of the problem
    {7:51} Make the biggest impact you can
    {10:42} Think a little differently
    {12:46} The journey doesn't stop on publication day

    Ep 037: How your book can sell more courses [mini series]

    So here we are at our third installment of totally nerding out on how book funnels can be used to grow your business. If you’ve listened with any sort of care to the previous two episodes, you know by now that growing your business is the entire point of writing a book. 

    But before we proceed, let’s recap, shall we? In week one we talked about WTF a book funnel actually is. Week two was about how your book is a powerful way to grow your membership. 

    If you haven’t listened to them yet, stop what you’re doing, then go back and start with episode 35.

    But if you’re all caught up, then it’s time to discuss how your book can be a funnel into your digital products to further grow your reach. When I say ‘digital products,’ I’m talking about workshops, an online self-study course, or even a larger group coaching program.

    And when you place your book at the top of the funnel leading into them, you’ve got a beautifully stacked suite of offers to move your people from one step to the next.

    In this episode of The AUTHORity Show, we’ll reverse engineer what it looks like so you can start your people at the beginning, then through each offer you meet their current need, then they move to the next level.

    This method helps you carry them through the journey so they can reach that evolved state they’re seeking. The best part is they’re happy and you’re putting good stuff into the universe — and it’s coming right back to you through your growing business. Win-win, my friend.

    Are you ready to nerd out with me on the third installment of our book funnel mini-series? Give it a listen, then when you’re done hit me up on Instagram @jessicakillingley and let me know what you enjoyed most from this episode.

    Ep 036: How your book can grow your membership [ Mini Series]

    Ep 036: How your book can grow your membership [ Mini Series]

    Last week I started talking to you about why a book funnel is key for growing your business. So if you haven’t yet listened to that episode, you’re going to want to start there.

    This week I’m continuing on that rant from the next angle, which is how your book can be extremely effective in growing your membership program. And if you don’t have a membership program yet, then that’s all the more reason you should give this episode a listen.

    A membership can become that next part of the journey for your readers, because it helps them integrate and implement what they’ve learned in your book. It gives them a space to come together with others who understand, so they can get the support they need to make your solution a part of their daily lives.

    In this episode, I’ll be going over the pros and cons of having a membership, and how you can connect your membership with your book. We’ll also cover a few reasons a membership program may not be ideal for you depending on how you help others. 

    But be sure to hear me out, because for most people it’s one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways that you can scale and grow your business.

    Tune in to this episode of The AUTHORity Show for all the details. And if you want to hear an inspiring story about someone who’s crushing it in the membership world, check out this previous episode with Faye Cornhill’s story. You can even follow her @fayecornhill if you like.

    And if you’re ready to take things a step further and start planning out your book, there are several ways I can help you do that. Check out the options then pick your poison and let’s get you started.

     

    Here are the highlights: 

    {2:17} Create a space for your readers to come together 

    {3:16} Memberships add the how to the why & what 

    {6:10} Memberships are not always a good idea 

    {9:05} Make sure your messaging works 

    {11:49} The allure of exclusivity 

    {12:45} Using your book as a perk of membership

    Ep 033: Turning your course into a book

    Ep 033: Turning your course into a book

    A lot of coaches and course creators really wonder if they should consider turning their signature coaching program into a book. So I turned to my Instagram stories to ask my people if they wanted to know more about it.

    The response was a huge, resounding YES.

    Now I could just hit you up with a huge spoiler and say if you want to know if you should do it, the answer is a big, fat yes.

     

    While that would be short and sweet, it certainly wouldn’t make a good podcast.

     

    Instead, I’m handing you five brilliant reasons why it’s not only a good idea, but they also help support why you should absolutely consider it.

    Ep 031: How to get your first 50 reviews

    Ep 031: How to get your first 50 reviews

    So you may think you’ve arrived when you’re given that little orange bestseller banner on Amazon, but the reality is you can achieve that just by hacking their algorithm. If you really want to measure how well your marketing is working, stop focusing on your chart position, because it just doesn’t matter all that much.

    So what does matter? 

    Reviews.

    Your book’s reviews are really the only thing that matters, in my opinion. Because when you have good reviews, it tells you two things: you wrote a good book and you’ve been intentional about your marketing.

    It means you’ve done the work to write a book that is powerful in helping change others’ lives, but also that you are also keeping the momentum going to get an even farther reach to bring new people into your world. 

    I mean, that’s why you wrote the book after all, right?!

    On today’s episode of The AUTHORity Show, we’ll talk about why reviews matter so much, and I’ll share step-by-step strategies that will help you get your first 50 5-star reviews. 

    Give it a listen, then go out and get yourself some reviews, then come back to tell me about it. 

    If you’ve already had some beautiful 5-star reviews, share them with me. I love seeing them and celebrating with you, but they’re also a good way to remind yourself that the hard work you put in was all worth it.

    Here are the highlights from this episode:

    {3:35} Continually growing your audience while writing your book

    {4:04} Why book reviews are so important

    {7:19} Getting early readers from clients, super fans, and those who appear as case studies in your book

    {10:30} Reminding your early readers to review your book

    {11:54} Thanking your early reviewers

    {13:17} Running a competition to encourage sales and reviews

    {16:55} Feeling validation for your book

    {19:07} Mediocre reviews and how to deal with them

    {21:49} Coming up next week

    Ep 030: What's the best way to get your book published?

    Ep 030: What's the best way to get your book published?

    So you have your mind set on getting your book traditionally published, do you? You envision some big publishing company reading your book, beaming with pride as they tell you how amazing your book is, then having it show up as a bestseller instantly.

    The thing is, that’s not how it usually goes. Traditional publishing is a very slow, long, drawn-out process, and the end result might not look exactly like you think it will.

    Don’t get me wrong — traditional publishing has its place and that’s where a lot of my experience lies. But you’ve got to make sure you are approaching that route to market for the right reasons, because if you don’t, it will be massively underwhelming and the outcome might not look the way you think it should.

    On this episode of The AUTHORity Show, I’m giving you an inside look at traditional publishing by way of a snippet from my course, The AUTHORity Blueprint. That way you can weigh the options and decide whether it’s the best way for you to get your book into the hands of your readers.


    And if you’re interested in participating in The AUTHORity Blueprint, while the live session is closed, the self-study option is ready and waiting for you right here.

     

    Here are the highlights from this episode:

     

    {2:12} Getting a literary agent

    {4:46} What publishing houses care about

    {5:23} A publisher doesn’t do everything for you

    {9:53} The sliding scales of publishing

    Ep 029: How to outline your book in one day

    Ep 029: How to outline your book in one day

    If you’ve ever uttered the words, ‘I don’t know where to start with my book’ or ‘I don’t have time to write it,’ you’re going to want to listen up. The reality is, you don’t have to spend days upon days or weeks on end getting yourself prepared and ready to write your book.

     

    How do you get started? Well, your most brilliant option is to schedule a VIP Day with me and we’ll get it all done. 

    But if you’re not quite ready for that, you can listen in to this episode of The AUTHORity Show and we’ll do an imaginary one together to get you going.

    So what does that look like? Other than enjoying some coffee and scenery, we’ll take it step by step and go through...

     

    • Mapping
    • Brainstorming
    • Outlining
    • Chapter breakdown

     

    And just like that you’ll go from not knowing where the hell to start to being ready to write your first draft — all in a single day.

     

    So when you’re telling yourself you don’t have the time to write a book, this exercise proves that’s a complete load of bollocks (but we already knew that, didn’t we?). 

     

    And maybe you actually didn’t know where to start, but now you do.

     

    Ready to get all the details during our imaginary VIP Day together? Then grab a cup of tea and tune in to this episode to hear in more detail how we’ll work together to get a plan in place for your book.

     

     



    Here are the highlights from this episode:

    {2:11} The two things I'll tease out from you first

    {4:01} Time to map out what your book is really about

    {4:32} Brainstorming for your book

    {5:11} What are the steps that you would take someone through in a coaching situation

    Ep 28: What makes a good book title?

    Ep 28: What makes a good book title?

    So you’ve got this great book title in your head and you’re really excited about it. It wakes you from your dreams and you can’t help but smile while appreciating just how amazing it is.

    Here’s the thing, though: That title that’s got you so enamoured won’t be the one you end up using with your book. 

    Why? Because if you don’t even know what the book content will become, how can you possibly accurately name the thing?

    In this episode of The AUTHORity Show I’ll give you a quick pep talk on how having your book title in place before writing can be both good and bad for you. 

    I’ll also give you a tidbit of advice on what will determine the final title of your book — after it’s written.

    Ep 027: How writing a book makes you better at what you do

    Ep 027: How writing a book makes you better at what you do

    If we’re being honest, by now I’ve given you enough reasons to drop the excuses and write your bloody book already — it brings you new leads, helps you get clear on your process, and the list goes on, really.

     

    But if you still need convincing, I’ve got yet another reason for you. 

     

    (This one’s a doozy.)

     

    It makes you a better YOU.

     

    I could tell you how that works, but the truth is that no one can explain it to you better than my friend, Ruth Kudzi, can.

     

    Ruth decided to write her book for all the right reasons — she wanted to share her experience and expertise with the world around her, but she also wanted to get really clear on her own process and how she uses it to help others.

     

    But what Ruth didn’t expect was that while writing a personal development book for others, she’d find herself diving deeper into her own personal development journey, too.

     

    Writing her book, Is This It?: The Smart Woman’s Guide To Finding Work You Love’, has helped others, but it’s made her a better Master Coach as well. Definitely a lovely bonus tacked on to all the other benefits.

     

    In this episode of The AUTHORity Show, Ruth gives us a behind-the-scenes view of how much writing a book to help change others can change you, too.

     

    When you’re finished, hit me up @jessicakillingley and let me know which part made you sit up and say, ‘Well, shit, Jessica...I think it’s time I finally write the damn book’. 

     

    And if you want to work 1:1 with me to get it started, let’s get you scheduled for a VIP Day with me soon.

     

    Here are the highlights from the episode:

    {8:28} Why Ruth wrote her first book, 'Is Ths It?' and how it helped her get clarity on her coaching methodology

    {12:05} How writing her first book helped Ruth to see her work as valuable

    {15:47} How her first book made Ruth realise she hadn't been playing big enough in her business

    {17:53} How coach training is amazing personal development

    {19:55} How the second book took longer than the first book to write

    {26:26} How the book and personal development helped get Ruth out of 'react mode' in her business

    Ep 026: The secrets to successful book marketing

    Ep 026:  The secrets to successful book marketing

    So many people put a ridiculous amount of blood, sweat, and tears into the writing part of writing a book, but forget to even think about how they plan to sell it. Then the day it hits the shelves, they panic.

     

    They plead with me, ‘Jessica, my book's just come out —  how do I get people to buy it?'

     

    Then they scramble and it’s just a whole lot harder than it really needs to be.

     

    I mean, you don’t write a book just to write a book. You write a book so people will READ it.

     

    But if you want that to happen, you’ve got to start thinking about marketing from the get-go. You need to be aware of...

     

    • 3 key phases of marketing your book
    • 4 questions to build your marketing around
    • 3 groups of people you’re marketing to

     

    Because here’s the thing: selling books is hard.

     

    I wish I had a magic bullet or perfect formula that can guarantee you’ll sell thousands of books each month. It just doesn’t exist. 

     

    What I can give you is a series of strategies that will set you up for the best possible shot at selling as many copies as possible.

     

    Tune in to this episode of The AUTHORity Show, where I’m sharing the key points you need to be thinking about when you start planning out your book, so you can be ready to get it into the hands of your readers the very moment it launches.



     

    Here are the highlights from this episode:

    {2:29} How you're missing out if you leave your marketing to the eleventh hour

    {3:08} Why you need to think about selling your book before you write it

    {5:22} Creating your North Star

    {7:42} The 4 phases of marketing your book

    {9:09} Why you should work on the phases in the order I recommend

    {12:32} Being really clear on the objectives for your book

    Ep 025: How to make money from your book before it's published

    Ep 025: How to make money from your book before it's published

    In my line of work,  I hear a lot of “reasons” as to why coaches and course creators aren’t ready to write a book and I could go on for days about it. But there are two that I hear quite often: 

     

    1. They don’t want to take time away from their business to write
    2. They don’t have the money it takes to make it happen.

     

    The good news is, I have a solution to nix both of them.

    I’m giving you the lowdown on an experiment that gives you a foundation for your coaching program or course, but also for your book. It can generate revenue to help fund the publishing process, but also gives you the opportunity to road test your content and get great feedback from your people, too.

    All before your book ever goes on sale.

    On this episode of The AUTHORity Show, I’ll tell you how writing your book alongside your business can actually help you write the right book, but also provide valuable feedback, testimonies, and revenue along the way.

     

    Give it a listen, then if you want help with your book (finally), send me a DM and let’s chat...

     

    Let 2021 be the year you finally write your book.

     

    Here are the highlights:

    {3:23} How it's never just about the book

    {4:56} Starting with the end in mind

    {6:16} How outlining is such a valuable step in your book journey

    {7:49} Starting to map out your coaching programme

    {9:06} Putting your beta programme together

    {10:19} Pricing your beta programme

    {13:29} Road testing your material and getting live feedback

    Ep 024: How to own your authority and be the expert

    Ep 024: How to own your authority and be the expert

    So let me ask you a question: What type of coach are you

     

    Through the course of working with many brilliant authors, I’ve identified two types of coaches playing the game: the Invisible Coach and the Authority Coach.  

     

    Both are vastly different in how they show up and serve, but the effect of which one you choose to be goes much deeper than that — in fact, it can change the entire outcome of your business. 

     

    On this episode of The AUTHORity Show I’m giving you the low-down on what each type looks like (and how it affects your business) so you can figure out which you are and decide if that’s the kind you want to be — then you can shift gears where needed.

     

    So how do you figure out if you’re invisible or an authority?

     

    A few telltale questions can help, like...

    • Do I shrink back and hide or do my best to stand out?
    • Am I holding back out of fear of judgment or do I show up as undeniably me?
    • Is my vision short-term or am I focused on playing the long game?

     

    Each of your answers plays into whether you’ll be busting your ass on that damn never-ending hamster wheel or if you’ll be smart and let your book do the heavy lifting for you.

     

    Bottom line: do you want to be just a face in the crowd, or do you want to be the one people look for in the crowd? 

     

    You’ve got two options to choose from that will each lead you on a different path, so my recommendation is to choose wisely.

     

    Give this episode a listen, then hit me up on IG @jessicakillingley and let me know which type you’re choosing to be. And if you pick the right one and are ready to get your book off the ground, let me know you’re ready for my help.




     

    Here are the highlights from this episode:

    {2:59} How we have a choice about how we show up in our businesses

    {4:43} Understanding the power of the word 'yet'

    {7:12} What happens when you don't have a USP and you're an 'invisible coach'

    {11:32} What you need to have in place to have a successful business.

    {12:31} The importance of self-belief

    {15:28 Figuring out your methodology and your USP for the person you want to be in the future.

    Ep 023: Real coaches share their book writing journey

    Ep 023: Real coaches share their book writing journey

    So you’re finally ready to write your book, but don’t really know what to expect from the journey? It’s not just you, my friend. No one really knows what it looks like until they’re on the other side.

     

    So what better way to get an insider look on what to expect than to hear it straight from someone who’s actually done it? 

     

    Well, you could hear it from four of them.

     

    On this episode of The AUTHORity Show, we’ll chat with four of my clients who are well on their way to getting their book published and into the hands of their eager readers. 

     

    They’ll talk about what they expected (and what they didn’t) and give you a close-up view of what this journey actually looked like for them.

     

    I need to mention I didn’t tell them to do what I say because I’m always right (even though I am), but they all did because they knew that the best way to set themselves up for success is to get help from someone who’s been there.

     

    And after 20+ years in the publishing industry, let’s face it...I have.

     

    Tune in and listen to their stories, in their words, about how they moved through this process and survived to get to the other side.  

     

    If you're ready to take action and get your book written (well, I say ready ... you're never going to feel ready!) then you have a very small amount of time to get yourself inside The AUTHORity Blueprint programme before enrolment closes. Come and check out how it's going to help you get a bestselling, business-building book out into the world!

    Ep 022: A sneak peek from inside The Authority Blueprint

    So I know you’ve got that burning question...what makes The AUTHORity Blueprint so special? 

    Well, that’s easy...I’m the one who wrote it. (lol. Sorry)

    That and you’re getting over 20 years of publishing experience wrapped up in a fantastic course, but that’s not all that makes it different.

    You see, book writing courses are everywhere. They teach you how to write a book in 30 days (or some other bollocks), then skimp out on all the other things that help make your book a success.

    That’s how The AUTHORity Blueprint is different. In it we look at the whole journey from all angles to be certain you write the right book from day one.

    But it doesn’t end there, my friend. I’ll walk you through every stage of writing your book and beyond. Because if you don’t know what to do the day after your book launches, well, let’s just say you’re going to be a bit fucked.

    Tune into this episode where I’ll give you the lowdown on what to expect in The AUTHORity Blueprint, but I’ll also give you a sneak peak at Chapter One of the Course — Planning.  Just a taste of what’s to come!

    Next you’re going to want to hop on over and get your ass on The AUTHORity Blueprint waitlist so you can be the first one to grab your spot when the doors open. Lucky you, because you’ll score some brilliant bonuses, too.

    Ep 021: What does a bestselling book look like?

    Ep 021: What does a bestselling book look like?

    So you want to write a bestselling book, do you? Well, what exactly does that mean

    The truth is we all get so hung up on bestsellers, but they’re only deemed so because they’re the tiny percentage of books that sell thousands of copies in a week. 

    The thing is, that’s just a benchmark of popularity. So if winning that contest is your goal, then by all means, just go write a “bestselling” book. 

    But if you want to write a quality book — one that is useful and actually helps change lives  — then it’s high time we reframe what bestselling actually means.

    In this episode of The AUTHORity Show, I’m breaking down how you can get your mind in the right place to write a book that’s actually good and positively affects the lives of those who read it. 

    We’ll reframe what bestselling means so you can write your book so when it’s done you’ll have the outcome you truly want, because I want that for you.

    So give this episode a listen, then if you’re ready to get all the bits in place to get you started with your book, come on over and grab your seat for my upcoming LIVE training series — Uncover Your Bestselling, Business-Building Book that starts February 25th, 2021.

    And don’t worry...if you’ve missed the live training, you can always catch it on replay. (You’re welcome.)

     

    Here are the highlights:

    {3:31} You don't make money from selling books

    {3:46} You don't want to be a bestseller in the way you might think

    {4:52} Writing a book that's useful

    {7:23} Writing a book that has an impact on people

    {9:03} How to get the answers to the most burning questions about writing a book

    Ep 019: What a book can do for a 7-figure business [Interview]

    We all get these opportunities in life where we have to decide if we’ll stay on the path that makes sense or throw caution to the wind and just follow our gut.

     

    And of course there are a million and one reasons to stay on easy street, but I say if what you’re doing doesn’t light you up, then why fucking bother?

     

    Life’s short, so if you’re smart I say follow the light.

     

    That’s precisely what Noor Hibbert did when she decided to step away from just teaching business and step into her biggest dream of helping everyday people change their lives.

     

    We joined forces a few years ago when Noor  became MY business coach. So when she asked if I could help with her book,  I figured why not?  The result was not only her amazing book, Just F*cking Do It, but it also lit a fire under my ass to get my literary agency on its way.

     

    I was especially thrilled to have Noor as a guest on this episode of The AUTHORity Show because she’s not only helped change the lives of those in the world around her through her book, but I can thank her for her part in where I am today. 

     

    Tune in to this episode and I promise you’ll be inspired by her story.  Hit me up on Instagram and let me know what your favorite bit was (mine were too many to count) (but maybe the fact that she swears even more than I do).

    Here are the highlights from this episode: 

     

    {11:47} How writing her book helped Noor to transition in her business 

    {17:59} How Noor developed her academy alongside writing her book 

    {21:15} Why Noor decided to write her book when she did 

    {24:45} How Noor reverse engineered her goal of being a successful author 

    {29:35} How Noor got interested in personal development  

    {31:37} How everyone with a business should write a book 

    {32:00} What do you want your legacy to be? 

    {33:19} What it feels like to create radical impact 

    {37:03} The impact of the book on Noor’s business 

    {40:27} What’s next for Noor? 

    If you want to connect with Noor then you will find her over on Instagram
