Covid is one word the entire world is aware of. Covid has changed the landscape of the universe.
Covid has hugely impacted health, economy, lifestyle, and mindsets.
There was major loss of life, loss of job, loss in business, and the counts are countless.
According to Albert Einstein, “in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity”.
Covid has opened the door of opportunities for many entrepreneurs.
I will go a little deep on “How Covid has created opportunities for Entrepreneurs” by sharing a small anecdote.
It all started in March 2020, one of my school friends used to take home tuition for the Class 11 & 12 students. He was doing pretty well and he was also the most liked teacher in his school.
Because of Covid, his classes came to standstill. Later after a month or two, he started taking online classes. In the beginning, he faced some problems, but with experience and practice, he excelled in online training.
Today after 14 months, he is doing good and has now become an entrepreneur.
This is one simple example, there are many other illustrations of how Covid has opened opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Meaning of Entrepreneur
According to Wikipedia: An entrepreneur is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards.

There is a need for robust solutions in cybersecurity and hence the cybersecurity services are one good opportunity for entrepreneurs.

Everyone is not a book lover but you must have read some of the fiction, non-fiction books, and novels.
I belong to this category.
I have read a few books written by some of the best authors but never thought of becoming an author.
But, there was a paradigm shift in my mind, when I read a very interesting book written by one of my childhood friends.
She was never a very good writer, nor did she aspire to become an author.
I had this curiosity to know how she could achieve this milestone.
And her writing story motivated me to write, and my love for my writing kept increasing as days passed.
Now I have decided to write my own book. The name of my first upcoming book is “ You Can Write” with the subtitle of Connecting Thoughts With Words.
This book will be mainly for those who want to write and excel in this domain. As the world has gone digital, this resource will cover the aspects of content writing, content marketing, etc.
In a way, it will guide you on how to become an Author.
Many of you out there have tonnes of questions, and I will answer all those as you continue reading.
I am writing this article “How to become an author: A simple guide to writing journey” to help you to take a kick start.
Who is an Author?
According to Wikipedia: An author is a person who writes books, stories, poems, or other written work. Sometimes, a person who creates something that is not prose is called an author. Someone who writes music may be called the author of that piece of music, though we would usually call that person a composer.
So now the question is how to become an Author. Before diving deep into how to start your writing journey, publish, launch and become an author.
You don’t need any qualifications to become an author. There are no eligibility criteria to start a book writing. Anyone can start writing a book to become an author. Let me clarify some of the myths which are fully housed in our brain.
The Myth About Becoming Author
Myth 1:
You need to be an expert in writing.
Fact 1:
You don’t have to be an expert in writing. You need the experience. You can become an expert by positioning yourself through your writing.
Myth 2:
Need a lot of time to write a book.
Fact 2:
You do not need lots of time to write one. You just have to give 20-30 minutes per day. A book with 100-150 pages is fine to get published.
Myth 3:
You have to be qualified with great skills to become an author
Fact 3:
You just need your ideas and experience to write. There are ample tools to help you with grammar, spellings, etc.
Myth 4:
I am not famous, why will anyone read my book?
Fact 4:
Your book is your marketing tool. You don’t write books when you are famous. You write a book to become famous.
Myth 5:
Publishing a book is very expensive.
Fact 5:
It will not be so costly. Publishing and marketing your book will be very much in your capacity. Self-publishing is very easy in today’s age, plus there are various other services to support you with this.
Myth 6:
Book writing will make a lot of money
Fact 6:
You will not make money by selling books. Your book will change the perception of how people will see you. Your book will build a brand around you, and then income will start flowing.
Benefits An Author Can Give You.
There are numerous benefits of publishing a book. The list is mentioned below :
Personal Branding
Authority
Become a speaker
Get better job
Influence others
Impact others
Panel discussions
Radio, TV, Podcast interview.
Write newspaper column
Tell your story
Taken seriously
Multiple income sources.
I have started writing my book and I am enjoying every bit of it.
One thing which is very important to keep in mind while writing is, what type of book you are going to write.
Always keep in mind Context is very very important than content.
From the outcome perspective, there are mainly three types of books.
Credibility
This will increase and create your visibility. It will also improve your positioning and build your authority and brand perception.
Connections
This will work like a lead magnet, which will open the doors for many opportunities. It will create relationships and business networking.
Content
This requires some extensive research and deep insights. A content-based book is favorable for someone who is already a brand and this piece will bring more fame
I am writing a book, which falls in the category of connections. The following aspects are very important in book writing.
Your Primary Objective:What is the objective and what will your book do?
Your Expertise:This will mainly highlight the key elements of my skills, talent, experience, knowledge, and quality.
Your Target Market:Who is your audience or reader?
Needs & Problems: What is the kind of need of your readers and what kind of solutions are you providing to their problems?
The Planning process of Your Content
This is the most crucial step in the whole process. It can become very challenging to write the content of the book. Follow the simple steps to accomplish the journey.
I am following the same steps for my book “ You Can Write”. And these steps remain the same for the writer.
Topic Dump: First and foremost do not think a lot about organizing the topic at this stage. Just do a topic dump with as many as possible around the content of your book.
Organize:The second step is to select 15 topics and organize them into broad topics. These will be the 15 chapters of your book.
Sub-topics:Under each topic, come up with 10-15 sub-topics for each chapter. The number can be more or less depending upon the breadth and depth of the topic.
Questions: Come up with 4-5 questions for each sub-topics. You can get the questions from different websites like Quora, Google Q&A, and other related forums. Put all the questions on the sheet.
Now that you are ready with a list of questions, start writing to answer those questions.
For example, one of the chapters in my book would be content writing. The sub-topic could be keyword research. One of the questions in the sub-topic could be: Which is the best tool for keyword research and why?
Make sure you write around 150-200 words for each of these questions with your knowledge and experience. You can do a lot of research while answering the questions.
This is the best way to start to write a book. These simple systems will start giving shape to your book and you can finish the process within the time frame.
Publishing Process:
The publishing process starts with the designing of your book cover. Book cover designing is very important and the following elements can be kept in mind while doing so.
Book Title
Book Subtitle
Book Cover
Book Endorsements
Book Back Cover
The book is mostly judged by its cover, so the ingredients of the cover are very cardinal. This can be done by keeping the following in mind
Eye-catchy graphics and design
Use humor, or ask a question or promise
Author picture (Not mandatory)
Appropriate reader colors
Endorsements from the influencer or famous personality.
Layout, Editing, Formatting & Proofread
You need to finalize the dimension of the book. I have decided and finalized that I will come up with a book with 5 x 8 inches (Width x Height).
This is the most common and widely used dimension offered by different print-on-demand publications.
If you are using lots of images, graphs, charts, tables, etc editing, and formatting will be needed. This can either be done by you or you can get it done by some experts.
Proofread is the last part of this section, which is of paramount importance. There are many freelancers providing their services in this proofreading. You can get this done by them or anyone else.
ISBN Number & Barcode
ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is very important for publishing a book. The International Standard Book Number is a unique numeric commercial book identifier.
An ISBN helps in identifying the title, edition, and format of products used by publishers, bookstores, libraries, etc. This is also important for inventory control, ordering, and sales reporting.
This unique number increases the chances of your book getting found. A Barcode is not the same as ISBN. The barcode is the graphical and visual representation used during the inventory or sales transaction process.
The barcode is found at the back of the book and is derived from an ISBN. You need ISBN and pricing information to get the barcode.
Printing of Book
There are many printing services available that will print your book on-demand. The most common and standard size for printing is 5 x 8 inches.
There are two options, you can print with a paperback edition or a hardbound edition. Hardbound is more costly compared to paperback.
Names of Self-publishing Houses

This article is about my understanding of why Changing Landscape of Marketing is the Secret Ingredient?
This will give an insight into the fundamental laws and the new-age technology of marketing.
This article will be helpful for students, professionals, entrepreneurs, businesses, etc. It can also provide value to someone who is willing to scale their business through digital marketing.
To dive deep into this topic let’s first understand the meaning.
Philips Kotler has defined marketing as “the science and arts of exploring, creating and delivering value to satisfy the needs of a target market at a profit”.
The changing pace from ancient time to the digital age is so rapid that the capacity of the change now becomes a competitive advantage.
There is constant change and evolution in marketing and the same is depicted in the infographic.
Evolution of Marketing
This article will focus on the below-highlighted topics :
The Fundamentals Of Marketing.
Digital Marketing vs. Traditional marketing.
CATT Marketing Funnel.
Integrated Digital Marketing.
Personal Branding – MassTrust Blueprint.
The Fundamentals of Marketing
The basic fundamentals of marketing are about science and not about creativity or innovation.
Understanding the needs and wants of the customer is the first and foremost thing any marketer should do.
The products and services are developed only after knowing the requirements of the customers.
This clearly states that Marketing starts before the creation of the products.
Marketing is all about sending the right message to the right customers at the right time. It is not just about selling but maintaining the relationship with the existing customers and keeping them happy so that they become lifetime customers.
“The aim of marketing is to make selling superfluous.” – Peter Drucker.
Marketing is a game of perceptions where good and valuable products sell themselves. This focuses to make the selling natural by understanding the customer and market very well.
“Communication must be HOT: honest, open, and two-way.”-Dan Oswald.
Communication
Communication
Good marketing is all about good communication and therefore the importance of communication is very significant. Often people confuse the term Communication and consider it to be a very sophisticated and hi-end fancy thing.
In layman’s language, it is the simple act of transferring information from one place, person, or group to another.
Digital Marketing vs. Traditional Marketing.
2020 is an era of technology with a very fast-changing world. Everything around the globe is changing and the same is the case with marketing.
The digital world is mushrooming in almost all sectors. But the basic fundamentals of marketing remain the same.
Tradition Vs Digital
The difference between traditional and digital is the medium through which the audience receives the message.
Traditional marketing includes Print media (like newspaper and magazine), Broadcast media (like TV and radio ads), Direct Mail, and Telemarketing while Digital Marketing uses Websites, Social networking sites, Content Marketing, Video marketing, etc.
Traditional is a closed system with very less transparency while digital is an open system with a lot of transparency. The reach and accessibility of traditional are very limited while digital has a global reach with diverse accessibility.
Traditional is very expensive with less return on investment and is not measurable while Digital is less expensive with a high return on investment and can be measured.
CATT Marketing Funnel and Framework
The marketing funnel is the journey of your customer/clients with you.
This is a journey when someone discovers your business all the way to purchasing your products. This funnel helps in driving greater sales, strong brand awareness, and more loyalty.
CATT
The formula is Wealth = n^CATT
n stands for Niche
C stands for Content
A stands for Attention
T stands for Trust
T stands for Transaction
The success and wealth depend upon the niche you have selected. The formula represents “n” power CATT, bcoz the effectiveness of CATT will determine the amount of wealth you make.
Therefore the niche plays a pivotal role and hence the niche selection should be done properly. Niche selection is done mainly by keeping 3 things in mind that is talent, passion, and market.
CONTENT: Content is the king. Make Content that provides value and helps in drawing attention from your selected niche. Good content can be in any form like blog posts, ebooks, videos, articles, etc.
ATTENTION: Once the content is created, your next step is to draw the attention or drive the traffic to your content using SEO, Search Media, Paid Ads, Referrals, and so forth.
TRUST: After creating good content and driving enough traffic to your content. The next most important step is to develop the trust of the traffic.
Over the period of time, this trust is going to play a very important role. The trust can be built with your audiences with the help of automation, tripwires, and retargeting.
TRANSACTION: The last and ultimate goal is to convert your lead into customers by transacting with them. This CATT funnel and framework is so effective that if it is done properly that it generates natural sales.
The Integrated Digital Marketing
Integrated Digital Marketing is the integration of various marketing strategies and tools for an effective approach for your business. The main reason for implementing integrated functions is to have a huge impact and create a more influential online presence rather than having an individual impact.
Integrated Marketing
Some of the digital components are mentioned below:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)is a process or technique of increasing the quality and quantity of traffic to a website through organic search engine results. SEO mainly targets unpaid traffic instead of paid traffic.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is one of the effective ways to promote and grow your business.
Social Media Optimization (SOM ) is the use of social media to manage and grow a business. It can be used to increase the awareness of the products and services.
Email Marketing is the process of sending a commercial message to a group of people using email.
Content Marketing is the process of planning, creating, distributing, and sharing content to reach your target customers.
Personal Branding -MassTrust Blueprint
Personal Branding is the act of marketing people, products, and their business as a brand. How to brand yourself is personal branding. Personal branding is the blend of the personality, skills, and experience that your followers want to see.
“The best known will always beat the best”.
If you are an expert at something and if the world does not know about you, then it’s of no use. It is not enough to be good at anything, people should know that you are good at something. So portraying yourself is very important and that is where personal branding is very important.
Evolution of Personal Brand: The journey of a Personal brand starts with learning and ends up with Startup.
Mass Trust
Learn– You should learn a new skill or you can hone the existing skills with the help of concepts, facts, and procedures.
Work– After learning you need to work on the new skill and start taking action on it. This can be done by starting working and implementing the concept for getting a better understanding. You can take up a full-time job, a part-time job, freelance, or can start your own work.
Blog-Start writing about whatever you have learned and experienced. It can be in any form like Blogspot, articles, etc. This helps in developing your personal brand.
Consult– Once you are done with the work and blogging start consulting people. You can do one to one or one to many consultations. This is a better approach when compared to freelancing or working for them.
Mentor-You can start mentoring only after you have gone through the above-mentioned four stages. You need to learn first, then work on it by implementing it in the real world, then write about it and then consult, and then only you can mentor somebody. Mentoring helps you to scale your understanding to a new level.
Start up-Finally you can go for a start-up. You can do this by the kind of understanding you have developed while going through this journey of developing your own personal brand.
This is how the evolution of the personal brand works and the framework which is developed for this is named as MASSTRUST blueprint.
In this article, you have learned about the fundamentals of laws in tandem with their communication. Insight of funnel along with the integrated digital strategy was also discussed.
This write-up is a part of the Digital DeepakInternship Program and I consider this program as one of the best. This is the kind of internship which follows a pedagogy which is learning by doing where you are forced to take action.
