Do you know something that someone else doesn’t know?
If you don’t yet – could you with a few hours of research, talking with an expert or giving something a try?
What if you tried your own diet and exercise program for 10-days, documented what you tried, wrote down how you felt and the impact on your day followed by the end result – did it work or not?
Or — you could try a new method of improving your relationship (wife, husband or significant other) listing exactly what you tried, when and how your partner responded. After a week, document what worked along with a detailed description of why you believe your unique approach worked, what didn’t work and why. Organize all of this into a system and you have just written your own book.
Congratulations…you are now an expert having self-published your own book. Doesn’t it feel incredible?
SERIOUSLY – SELF-PUBLISHING IS HUGE!
It may not be obvious to you, but self-publishing and alternative publishing models are growing like wildfire…at a rate that is almost too tough to comprehend.
Lulu (an alternative book publisher mainly serving first-time authors) is adding about 4,000 titles each week – and they are relatively new.
There are tens of thousands of smaller publishers operating completely under the radar – without anyone tracking what they are doing.
Some estimate the self-publishing industry to be in the multiple billions of dollars…one study group suggests over $10 Billion.
What is true is that the self-publishing marketplace is much larger and growing much faster than the traditional publishing market – in most cases these authors are people just like you or I who have chosen to document our passion, research or knowledge about a certain topic to help us advance in our careers or personal lives.
It’s one of the best-kept secrets in today’s business climate – that your neighbor may be working away on his or her own book right now as you read this.
Certainly – I see a major portion having sold thousands of copies of The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur’s Success Package over the last few years helping to bring new writer’s, entrepreneurs and average working people’s dreams come true with a simple-to-follow system for writing your own book.
In this blog posting, a rather mainstream coverage of the topic of self-publishing ads some extra statistics to the argument talking about how non-writers are entering the fray now that technology has leveled the playing field making publishing within reach of anyone.
Almost overnight, you have the very real opportunity to make information a viable business option for you. Publishing information on a given topic is a highly profitable business in its own right and also offers a terrific platform for marketing one’s services or other products.
Whatever your reason for writing, the time has come to write your own book, see your name in print and begin an alternative income stream — Hey You…are you ready to get started?
