Writing a book increases your credibility. No matter what your passion is, whether it is cleaning and organizing or helping people with ADHD, writing a book on your subject will dramatically increase your credibility. Imagine this, you are getting a pet parrot and you know as a future parrot owner that they require special care and training. Intelligently, you begin to look for parrot experts to help you with the process.

You find several avian veterinarians and even a few bird training experts online and in your community. One of them has a book. Who do you go to for information? Odds are you probably buy the book and then if you need further assistance, you contact the author. Why? Because the book is easily accessible and because they must be an expert - they published a book. When YOU publish a book it will have the same effect on those looking for information on your topic. Your credibility increases, and so too does your income.

Writing a book enables you to become a household name. We are talking about branding, publicity, and notability. These happen when you change people's lives and when you're an expert. You do not have to be an expert on world peace to get the kind of notoriety I am talking about. For example, let's say you' are an expert on training dogs. Now maybe you have been working as a dog trainer and doing quite well for many years. Now you write a book and all of a sudden you're working in celebrity homes helping them with their dogs, you are on Oprah, and you have your own dog training show. Just as the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan.

Writing a book enables you to build an empire. What do I mean by this? Taking the parrot expert example used earlier, the beginning of the empire is a book on parrot care or parrot training. The tip of the iceberg, the most expensive product you might offer would be one on one parrot training and coaching. In the middle lie an abundance of products all related to parrot training. You could offer DVDs, parrot training products, healthy food options, cages and care products, you could offer parrot training and care workshops the list goes on and one. The foundation of your product line...your book.

Writing and publishing a book can mean so much more than sitting and waiting for those measly royalty checks in the mail. Writing and publishing a book can literally mean thousands of dollars in your bank account each month. Credibility, opportunity, notoriety, and lots and lots of products are all the result of one simple step - writing and publishing a book.

  • Publish America - Publishing Parasites - By: Jaswal Bhisham
    I have to admit to being readily impressed by company names. Maybe it's an age thing. You see, I was around when we had nationalized industries here in Britain, you know, British Railways, British Gas, British Steel, British Road Services, etc., etc. Those companies may have been over-staffed and under-efficient but you always knew you could trust them, and a product marked "Made in Britain" had class - in those days. Even after they became privatized the word "British" in a company name still, in my subconscious at least, gave that firm a stamp of approval. Those were the heady days when we had some traditional industries and workers could rely upon union protection to prevent their jobs being shipped out to third world countries.
