Are you an author who put your heart and soul into writing a book, and now you’re wondering if you should submit it to book awards?
If yes, here are the Top 5 Business Book Award Benefits from the Annual Goody Business Book Awards.
With 46 million+ books on Amazon now, you have to get creative with your book promotions and marketing. You want to find unique ways to stand out, including winning book awards. Winning a business book award is even more valuable than becoming a bestselling author on Amazon because there are actual judges who review your book, and select Winners and Finalists.
So in our book, it’s a must for authors to Nominate their book for awards.
To give you more insights, here are the top 5 benefits for authors of winning business book awards:
1. Increase Your Visibility as an Author
Book awards can significantly boost a book’s visibility, and help you reach your niche audience.
For example, you can nominate your book in 1-50 categories for the Goody Business Book Awards in 8 genres: Business, Entrepreneur, Health, Leadership, Money/Wealth, Marketing, Self-Help and Technology.
There is a business book award category for almost every author, and that was done on purpose so your book can be recognized in your area of expertise. For example, if you are a mental health expert who wrote a book about increasing your joy, you might want to nominate it for Health – Psychology category.
2. Enhance Thought Leadership Credibility
There are probably thousands of other experts in your specialty area. If you’re a doctor, lawyer, entrepreneur, or healthcare professional, just think of how many people you’ve met at an industry conference who do things similar to you.
So winning a business book award can elevate your credibility as a thought leader and author. Being recognized as an award-winning author establishes you an authority in your field.
3. Attract More Speaking Engagements
Winning a business book award can also help you attract more speaking engagements. You might get a paid speaking gig or non-paid talk, but in all cases, these opportunities can help you generate multiple streams of income.
If you have an award-winning book, the host of a speaking event is probably more likely to purchase books for the audience and/or let you sell your books and/or services in the back of the room.
4. Secure Major Media Interviews to Maximize Reach
A podcast host asked Goody Business Book Awards and Goody PR Founder Liz H. Kelly whether reporters would be more likely to take a closer look at a bestselling author or award-winner author? Her response immediately was that an award-winning author would stand out more to the media, and it can help them attract top media interviews.
Along with media interviews, award-winning authors may be asked to do partnerships, invited to attend events for free as influencers and attract more social media followers.
5. Increase Book Sales and Revenue with a Business Book Award
By increasing your reach with a business book award, this recognition is also more likely to translate into book sales and revenue for your services. Everyone wants to increase book sales, and nominating your book for awards is a great strategy.
For the Goody Business Book Awards, we’ve seen several of our Winners submit to multiple book awards (which we highly recommend). Several Winners and Finalists have also returned year-after-year to nominate their new books.
And by adding your business book award seal to the book cover, your website, social media, blogs, Amazon page and press releases, it all contributes to your overall book SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The bottom line is that you want to make it easier for your book to stand out and build buzz.
