Not Sure What Kind of Book to Write?

Most speakers think they must go traditional with a print book through a traditional publishing route. That's what your bookcoach did twenty years ago. With too few results for all the work it took. Instead, think a short print or printable eBook, one that you can finish in a month or so. One you can offer on your own web site.

You can get your book out now, not wait two years. Know that publishers do no promotion, so with you in charge,  you can get sales the minute you finish your book.With internet marketing added, you receive a consistent, ongoing  increased stream of income for as long as you market. With your credibility raised, you can now get more bookings.

Get the Best From Two Worlds

With the internet going strong, many in your audience will want a downloadable, printable eBook. And, you the author, have no printing bills, no distribution problems, and you make all the profits. But, you want some copies for the back of the room sales. So, write your short (50 pages to 100 pages) print and eBook at the same time using the same Microsoft Word files.

Speakers need to know that business people's reading hours are down from 123 hours per year in 1999, to 109 hours in 2001, and in 2006--the figure is even lower. Your audience, like you, want to read short how-to books.

How to Create Endless Products

Speakers have the edge over other businesses because you already have past talks, cassettes, or articles you've already written. Just dust them off with a new angle for each audience. You also give seminars, teleseminars, ecourses  that can become short books. These built in resources  create even more products. Each time you give a teleseminar, record it on an MP3 and offer it for sale. This no money investment makes you even more profits. 

If you Don't Write your Book?

 Not much will happen to make you stand out from the crowd.  Your business will take much longer to build to big success. And, you won't have all the fun by connecting with your audience as much.

Fulfill your Book Dream-Get Started with a Little Help

• Get started--just write down all the topics and questions your book can answer.
• Get organized--Create a book folder and files.
• Practice one High Level Activity each day for your book.
• Write about what you know--you are the expert.-Solve your audience's problem or challenge.
• Use what you already have written-ie speeches, seminars.
• Write down your one preferred audience before you write the book. Then, it will engage your readers all the way.
• Overcome the fear that your writing won't be great. Get help from others, especially a coach.

It's funny, but once you get started with one book, you won't be able to stop yourself from writing others. The point is to just begin. Watch your speaking business thrive!
