Like Pushing a Rock Uphill
Like most things we’ve never done before, writing a book can seem like a difficult task. And some would say finishing the work is like pushing a rock uphill.
But the effort is well worth it. Because once you do the work of getting the rock to the top once, the ride that follows is SO much easier. It’s all downhill. You build so much momentum that it seems there is nothing that can stop you.
Today is all about motivation. I want to show you the opportunities that open for you once your book is complete. They say we can accomplish anything if we have a big enough REASON WHY. And I think this is true. so here we go.
Hopefully, in this article you’ll find inspiration, your reason why you should finally start and finish your first or next book.
1. You can use parts of your book (pages or chapters) later as articles for blog posts, emails, audio snippets, or special reports to promote your book or services or even you can sell as stand-alone products.
2. You can create an audio book just by reading your book and then sell at places like iTunes.
3. You can create a full high-priced classroom course, or webinar, or email training using your book as the reference material or curriculum.
4. You can use your book in direct mail campaigns to draw people to your higher priced trainings.
5. You can offer your book as a bonus, or allow joint-venture partners to offer your book as a bonus to their customers to help build your list.
6. Your book gives you credibility as an expert or celebrity in your field. It sets you apart and opens doors to greater opportunity and income.
7. Your printed book can be adapted to so many other media such as an Audio CD, you could create a DVD by adding visual to your text and audio, you can create PDF files to be digitally delivered, you can quickly create a digital book for Kindle or Nook, you can create an audio MP3 file of all or parts of your book.
Once your book is complete, which really isn’t so hard if your follow the guidelines I’ve laid out in “Book Writing Magic” you’ll find all these avenues and more open up to you to sell and distribute your book for ever increasing profits. You will have created not one thing, but multiple streams of income.
That’s what gives people freedom and makes them rich.
