Author spotlights (like this one with Bill Higgs, author of Culture Code Champions: 7 Steps to Scale & Succeed in Your Business) are a great way to learn how other authors find success.
Bill Higgs
Bill Higgs, an authority on corporate culture, is the author of Culture Code Champions: 7 Steps to Scale & Succeed in Your Business. He recently launched the Culture Code Champions podcast (learn more at www.culturecodechampionspodcast.com).
Higgs is also Co-Founder and retired CEO of Mustang Engineering Inc., which he and two partners started in Houston, Texas in 1987 to design and build offshore oil platforms. Over the next 20 years, they grew the company from their initial $15,000 investment and three people to a billion-dollar company with 6,500 people worldwide. Since then, it has grown to a $2 billion company with more than 12,000 people.
Higgs is a distinguished 1974 graduate (top 5 percent academically) of the United States Military Academy at West Point and runner up for a Rhodes scholarship.
In this post, Higgs shares his experience writing and publishing Culture Code Champions: 7 Steps to Scale & Succeed in Your Business.
Dive into the world of writing and learn all 12 steps needed to complete a first draft. In this writing workshop you will tackle the steps to writing a book, learn effective writing techniques along the way, and of course, begin writing your first draft. In the workshop, you will be able to finish either a decently developed half draft (of half of your novel) or a rough “in-progress” full draft. However, you’ll learn all the tools needed to complete the full first draft. At the end of this workshop, you will have accomplished every writer’s goal—an “in-progress” working first draft.
Name: Bill Higgs Book title: Culture Code Champions: 7 Steps to Scale & Succeed in Your Business Publisher: Forbes Books Release Date: January 7, 2020 Genre: Business/Leadership
Elevator pitch for the book: Teaches leaders how to intentionally create a people-first culture. This will reduce turnover, increase efficiency, and increase the bottom line. Pushes to include suppliers and clients in your culture to dominate your industry in good times and bad.
What prompted you to write this book?
We went from zero to one billion dollars in annual revenues based on a people-first culture that included our clients and suppliers. The culture positively changed lives in the company, the families and the communities where we worked worldwide. Ten years after the founders left, the culture is still strong and they are now doing eight billion per year. We want to teach other companies how to craft a culture that differentiates them in the industry. They will attract better people, better clients, and better suppliers as they spiral attitudes upward. And…they will have more fun doing it!
How long did it take to go from idea to publication?
I taught Vistage classes for two years in order to perfect my message on how to change a culture to improve lives and improve the bottom line. I submitted my book outline to turn the Vistage classes into a book, and Forbes Books selected me as an author. Outline to publication took 18 months. One change was improving the marketability by asking what people’s culture is costing them.
Were there any surprises or learning moments in the publishing process for this title?
The end process after the manuscript was approved took 12 weeks when I thought it would take four.
Were there any surprises in the writing process for this book?
We did not get much editing help and had to rely on friends to get a good final product.
What do you hope readers will get out of your book?
I want them to believe they can change and improve the culture wherever they are by using the “how-to” steps provided.
If you could share one piece of advice with other authors, what would it be?
Write something you are passionate about. Your passion will carry you through the ups and downs of the process.

Would you like to receive more story requests from bloggers and journalists? Don’t you want to see more and more news stories mentioning your brand? Your first step to building more online coverage is to create an effective press page.
Why Create a Press Page?
I lost count of how many times I wanted to reach out to a brand (usually that’s a marketing tool I was curious to explore further) and struggled to find any clear instructions on how. I’ve also lost track of how many times I gave up when trying to mention a brand on Twitter and couldn’t find their Twitter handle anywhere.
Those brands missed a nice opportunity of being mentioned (which could even be a missed opportunity of onboarding a new brand advocate).
A well-built press page would have made that opportunity a reality.
Fundamentally, the major goals behind building a press page are:
Attracting “linking leads” (i.e. bloggers and journalists) by making your brand look interesting to them.
Delivering clear instructions on how they can get in touch (without leaving them wondering).
Providing you with a little bit more control over the online sentiment surrounding your brand (by surfacing favorable mentions).
Should You Create a Press Page or a Press Site?
There are certain pros and cons to setting up a dedicated site to curate news and encourage press contacts.
The biggest benefit of having a separate site is an ability to take more than one position in Google for your branded queries. Google is trying to show diverse results per SERPs, aiming to show no more than two results from the same domain for a particular query in the top results. So having additional sites will help you control more of your branded search SERPs.
Bigger companies usually have several domains building additional online context around the brand (and controlling more branded SERPs):
Amazon hosts all brand-specific information on a separate domain aboutamazon.com
Radix offers a perfect domain name for your brand’s press room: .press:
Radix press domain ideas
On the other hand, building a separate site comes at a price: You need additional resources to build, design and maintain a separate entity.
I leave it up to you to decide, but I am personally leaning towards a separate entity option.
1. Past Mentions
There are a few important reasons why you want to curate your current press coverage:
Linking to pages that mention you will boost rankings of those pages. This helps you surface your positive mentions and, hence, better control your company’s online sentiment.
Featuring various stories around your brand gives journalists more ideas of possible angles for their own articles.
Publicizing your mentions encourages more bloggers to feature you (in hopes you will link to them from that section as well).
“As featured in” section offers you the power of social proof. Both your customers and journalists will trust your brand more once they see you are being covered in the news.
This section may contain all kinds of links that mention your brand in one way or another, including:
Your mentions in the news outlets.
Your management’s interviews.
Articles quoting you or your management.
Your CEO’s keynote coverage, etc.
It is also a good idea to curate your own press releases in this section.
Great press page example from Nextiva. You can sort the list by year to find older / newer stories featuring the brand.

2. Contact Information
The best idea is to put a real person here, instead of a generic contact form. EPAM is a great example of doing that well:
Great example of highlighting your press contact on your press page.
Knowing who to contact and being able to choose from a variety of options is likely to encourage many of your company’s linking leads to start the conversation.
3. “Behind-the-Scenes” Company Information
Again, one of the major goals behind a good press page is to make your company more interesting to bloggers and journalists, encouraging them to think of it as part of a story.
What’s a better way to make your company more interesting to people than by humanizing it. Show your team, your pictures, your conference trips, your charity events. You have a lot of uniqueness in your brand. Just show it.
4. Style Guide/Assets
Offering bloggers and journalists additional assets to include in their articles may incentivize them to create a more eye-catching context.
Instagram is a good example of providing exhaustive instructions as to how bloggers may be using their logos and where to download a high-resolution file. They also offer high-resolution screenshots for download and use within articles:
Instagram’s asset collection is a great example of a style guide and assets for press to use
5. Your Social Media Channels
Finally, offering additional ways to get in touch is always a good idea. Plus, linking to your social media channels will allow bloggers and journalists to tag you in social media updates when your feature goes live.
Besides, encouraging your linking leads to follow you around would tie them closer to your brand and potentially keep them engaged.
Optimize Your Page for Organic Visibility
Finally, getting your press page (or site) rank for a variety of branded (and possibly even generic / non-branded) queries is key to generating more press coverage.
Text Optimizer will help you create an effective copy for your Press Coverage, which will help it rank higher in Google. Text Optimizer will check your current brand-name ranking and use semantic analysis to extract related concepts for you to include them in your copy:
It is also a good idea to come up with a user-engaging strategy making sure people who have found themselves on our press page will continue browsing the site.
Alter offers a few great user engaging options, including exit-intent popup that shows up exactly when your site users are ready to leave. You can control the pages that will show up and the content they will include:
Conclusion
So many companies are getting proactive with link acquisition and press coverage tactics, yet they forget the inbound aspect of them. Before investing in your journalistic email outreach, make sure you have a convincing landing page set up. That way, linking leads will know why and how to mention you when providing the coverage.
Setting up a press page (or a press site) is a one-time task, but it must be done in order to see your brand generating more and more organic mentions around the web.
Since 2011, we’ve been helping writers publish their books and accomplish their writing goals. We’ve worked with thousands of writers through our community and courses.
But this year, we wanted to take a step back and ask, is what we’re doing actually making a difference? Are we actually helping writers achieve their dreams?
Are people writing books at The Write Practice? Can this actually help you get published?
Does The Write Practice really work?
And so we went back to our students and asked, what did you accomplish in 2019? What books did you publish, and what role did The Write Practice play in helping you?
Want to write your book this year? We’d love to help you, too. In 100 Day Book, you’ll start and finish writing your book. Join us here »
Books Our Authors Have Published in 2019
The answers have blown us away. We’ve heard from tons of authors about the books they’ve published. Best of all, we’ve heard about the ways we’ve been able to support, teach, encourage, guide, and cheer them on as they’ve finally accomplished their goals.
One of the most exciting experiences for a writer is the moment when you publish your book. And celebrating your success is the best part of my work at The Write Practice, too.
As the leader of The Write Practice, I’ve gotten an inside look at what’s happening in our community throughout the year. I get to hear about and celebrate every time someone publishes a book!
It’s sort of exciting to celebrate alone. But what’s way more fun is to celebrate with a group.
And as we head into 2020, I want to celebrate with you all the books published in the past year in the Write Practice community.
Take a look below at the amazing work our authors are doing. You might just find your new favorite book!

PRACTICE
Normally in these practice sections, I ask you to write something. Today, though, I’m asking you to read something.
One of the best ways to celebrate published authors is to read their books. For today’s practice, choose one of the authors listed above, get a copy of their book, and start reading it.
If you’re worried about the cost, I have good news: many of these books are just a few dollars on Amazon. (Plus, some of these authors even give away free stories on their websites!)
Let me know which book you’ve picked and why you’re excited about it in the comments!
BONUS: Another wonderful way to support authors is to write a review of their books. After you finish reading the book you pick, why not head back to Amazon and let the author know what you think?
Editor’s Note: This is a guest post on landing a book deal by first time fiction author, Verity Bright who had three publishers offering to publish her first novel, A Very English Murder. Even if you’ve yet to write a word, Verity shows you how to turn this to your advantage and go get that […]
Would you like to receive more story requests from bloggers and journalists? Don’t you want to see more and more news stories mentioning your brand? Your first step to building more online coverage is to create an effective press page.
Why Create a Press Page?
I lost count of how many times I wanted to reach out to a brand (usually that’s a marketing tool I was curious to explore further) and struggled to find any clear instructions on how. I’ve also lost track of how many times I gave up when trying to mention a brand on Twitter and couldn’t find their Twitter handle anywhere.
Those brands missed a nice opportunity of being mentioned (which could even be a missed opportunity of onboarding a new brand advocate).
A well-built press page would have made that opportunity a reality.
Fundamentally, the major goals behind building a press page are:
Attracting “linking leads” (i.e. bloggers and journalists) by making your brand look interesting to them.
Delivering clear instructions on how they can get in touch (without leaving them wondering).
Providing you with a little bit more control over the online sentiment surrounding your brand (by surfacing favorable mentions).
Should You Create a Press Page or a Press Site?
There are certain pros and cons to setting up a dedicated site to curate news and encourage press contacts.
The biggest benefit of having a separate site is an ability to take more than one position in Google for your branded queries. Google is trying to show diverse results per SERPs, aiming to show no more than two results from the same domain for a particular query in the top results. So having additional sites will help you control more of your branded search SERPs.

On the other hand, building a separate site comes at a price: You need additional resources to build, design and maintain a separate entity.
I leave it up to you to decide, but I am personally leaning towards a separate entity option.
1. Past Mentions
There are a few important reasons why you want to curate your current press coverage:
Linking to pages that mention you will boost rankings of those pages. This helps you surface your positive mentions and, hence, better control your company’s online sentiment.
Featuring various stories around your brand gives journalists more ideas of possible angles for their own articles.
Publicizing your mentions encourages more bloggers to feature you (in hopes you will link to them from that section as well).
“As featured in” section offers you the power of social proof. Both your customers and journalists will trust your brand more once they see you are being covered in the news.
This section may contain all kinds of links that mention your brand in one way or another, including:
Your mentions in the news outlets.
Your management’s interviews.
Articles quoting you or your management.
Your CEO’s keynote coverage, etc.
It is also a good idea to curate your own press releases in this section.
Great press page example from Nextiva. You can sort the list by year to find older / newer stories featuring the brand.

2. Contact Information
The best idea is to put a real person here, instead of a generic contact form. EPAM is a great example of doing that well:
Great example of highlighting your press contact on your press page.
Knowing who to contact and being able to choose from a variety of options is likely to encourage many of your company’s linking leads to start the conversation.
3. “Behind-the-Scenes” Company Information
Again, one of the major goals behind a good press page is to make your company more interesting to bloggers and journalists, encouraging them to think of it as part of a story.
What’s a better way to make your company more interesting to people than by humanizing it. Show your team, your pictures, your conference trips, your charity events. You have a lot of uniqueness in your brand. Just show it.
4. Style Guide/Assets
Offering bloggers and journalists additional assets to include in their articles may incentivize them to create a more eye-catching context.
Instagram is a good example of providing exhaustive instructions as to how bloggers may be using their logos and where to download a high-resolution file. They also offer high-resolution screenshots for download and use within articles:

5. Your Social Media Channels
Finally, offering additional ways to get in touch is always a good idea. Plus, linking to your social media channels will allow bloggers and journalists to tag you in social media updates when your feature goes live.
Besides, encouraging your linking leads to follow you around would tie them closer to your brand and potentially keep them engaged.
Optimize Your Page for Organic Visibility
Finally, getting your press page (or site) rank for a variety of branded (and possibly even generic / non-branded) queries is key to generating more press coverage.
Text Optimizer will help you create an effective copy for your Press Coverage, which will help it rank higher in Google. Text Optimizer will check your current brand-name ranking and use semantic analysis to extract related concepts for you to include them in your copy:
It is also a good idea to come up with a user-engaging strategy making sure people who have found themselves on our press page will continue browsing the site.
Alter offers a few great user engaging options, including exit-intent popup that shows up exactly when your site users are ready to leave. You can control the pages that will show up and the content they will include:
Conclusion
So many companies are getting proactive with link acquisition and press coverage tactics, yet they forget the inbound aspect of them. Before investing in your journalistic email outreach, make sure you have a convincing landing page set up. That way, linking leads will know why and how to mention you when providing the coverage.
Setting up a press page (or a press site) is a one-time task, but it must be done in order to see your brand generating more and more organic mentions around the web.
