  • Writing A Book Enabled Systems Engineer To Quit His Job - According to the Association of American Publishers, 83 per cent of Americans want to write a book. Robert Kiyosaki, creator of the Cashflow Game and the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, said that his book is his best business card.
  • Guaranteed Access to a New York Publisher Means Dog Guardians Can Feed Their Dogs Without Fear - Books published by New York publishing houses tend to garner a higher degree of respect than those published outside of the Big Apple. Authors with New York books often find it easier to get media attention than those using other methods, such as small presses or print-on-demand publishers. But first-time authors may find it nearly impossible to get the attention of the big houses, even when their message saves lives. Unfortunately, The road from completed book manuscript to publication through traditional channels is a long one with numerous challenges. A first-time author must first create a formal book proposal which will take weeks of work. Next, the writer goes through the process of submitting it to publishers and/or agents. According to a New York Publisher CEO, it takes the average person 100 formal book proposal submissions only to get a publisher to say ‘no’.
  • Complete Authoring And Business Development System Launched Scott Armstrong Into His Thriving Coaching Practice - Robert Kiyosaki, creator of the Cashflow Game and the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, said that his book is his best business card. Mark Victor Hansen, co-creator of the popular Chicken Soup for the Soul series, stated that the best lead generator is a book. These two examples demonstrate a profound principle. The most successful authors do much more than sell books. The money earned in royalties is incidental income as compared with what they generate from income streams such as speaker fees, workshops, home study programs, coaching programs, consulting fees, and other high end products and services. Scott Armstrong is an example of this principle in action. Armstrong is a successful life coach with a full practice and maintains his life-long passion for running.
  • Blind Author Coaches Aspiring Authors - New authors may believe that if their book is published in New York, they will not need to do much more than have a website in order to market their book. The truth is that anyone who writes a book will need to do the majority of the marketing, whether the book is self produced or published by a small press or a large New York publisher. Ronda Del Boccio studied the publishing industry and understood its pitfalls. She knew she could write a book and knew she would have to learn about sales and marketing. But she had no idea how to break out of the “poor writer” mode until she found the step-by-step approach that showed her how to grow her reputation and develop a business around her book.
  • It Takes Time for a Book to Get into Print - According to David Hancock, CEO of Morgan James Publishing, it takes the average person 100 formal book proposal submissions only to get a publisher to say ‘no’. Many submissions go unanswered, and many publishers disallow simultaneous submissions. This typically increases the time it takes for a book to get into print.
  • From Information Age to Recommendation Age - Not too long ago, when someone wanted information, she would have to drive to the library, use the card catalog, and search the stacks of books and magazine to find it. Then the Information Age arrived. Computers and the internet have brought information home to the average person. There is now too much of a good thing because of this fact. Many people believe we are still in the Information Age.
  • Principle of the Most Successful Authors - According to the Association of American Publishers, 83 per cent of Americans want to write a book, but for those who follow through, the publishing industry has grim news. Publisher’s Weekly reported that in 2004 Nielsen Bookscan tracked sales of 1.2 million books. Unfortunately, the vast majority did not even sell a hundred copies. The number of books that sell over one hundred copies is minimal, with 950 thousand selling fewer than 99 books. What this indicates is that just over two per cent of the total number of books published break into triple digit sales. Taking a look at the cream of the crop, 200 thousand titles sold fewer than a thousand copies. Only 25 thousand books sold more than 5 thousand copies. Fewer than 500 sold more than 100 thousand copies.

But every single person has innate talents and gifts that enrich people's lives AND provide a source of income for you. How can you discover what your true talents are? Let me give you a hint. Where your passion is, you will find many of your natural abilities that you probably take for granted. But it's more than passion. It's profit.
  • How To Leverage Your Mindset For Success - Business is about influence, or "leverage." Your book that you will author is a tool to leverage your credibility.
  • Successful Publishing - Idea to Reality - Publishing a book can be very stimulating! Just the idea of it gets the creative juices flowing. But before you even start going through the process of publishing a book, you should acknowledge these most crucial measures before publishing your new book. Be sure that you look at every step carefully so that you gain success as easily as possible: Know what your reasoning is for writing a new book.

  • Books Talk - Have you ever walked through the aisles of a library late at night, hearing whispers, only to turn around and see that you are alone? If you have, then you're scaring me. If you haven't, then you really need to get a clue. Here's what I mean: Books not only speak to us but they speak to each other. Of course there are no audible voices, but on paper they speak volumes. It is something known as the on-going conversation on the shelf. And if you are planning to be a writer, the quicker you learn the conversation the better.
  • My Advice on Your Report Writing - So you got an assignment - to write a book report. And here you are sitting in front of your computer and staring at the monitor. Don't panic, because report writing can be a lot of fun. Where to start from? First of all let's get one thing straight: there is a certain difference between writing a report and writing a critical book review. A book report is completely factual. It includes information on the author, title, place, and year of publication as well as a summary of the content of the book. A book review, on the other hand, is much more personal. It is an expression of the reader's opinion of the work or of specific aspects of the work. Successful report writing depends firstly on the book.
  • Writing a Book and Its Benefits to Your Business - Most people perceive the act of writing a book as an academic thing. It seems something that only intellectuals and doctorate degree holders will do. Why would non-academic people bother in writing a book? This book-for-academics-only is purely a misconception. Even those people engaged in the business or service industry must consider the book as their reliable aid.

Or perhaps you're still in school and you have loads of homework. How can you possibly find the time to write amidst all this craziness? First, if you're having trouble fitting writing into your life, you need to budget your time. I suggest you do a "time audit." This means that, over the course of a day or a few days, or even a week, you track the amount of time you spend doing everything you do throughout the day (or days or week).

Despite a few exceptions, such as novels or memoirs, most authors write a proposal to sell a book and get an advance payment for it before drafting a manuscript. Here are five good reasons why you, an aspiring author, need to draft a book proposal: 1.
  • Book Publishing: Vanity Publishers Will Take You To The Cleaners - Many more people than you might think believe that they have a book or two inside of them, and they are yearning to get it out. In fact, almost every day I get e-mails from folks asking for help or information on how to write and publish a book or ebook. These folks aren't planning to be the next Hemingway or anything like that - they're just regular people who have a story to tell or some information to share.
  • Book Publishing: Problems With The Traditional Model - As many small-time authors and self-publishers have discovered the hard way, the traditional book publishing model is fraught with problems that conspire against an individual author/publisher making a decent living from their work. The traditional model normally involves two basic choices: 1) use a commercial publisher, or 2) self-publish.
