The sooner your write a book, the better (for you and your business). You can certainly write a book within the next 60 days!
Here are 37 reasons why you should write a book.
Make money. You can make money not only by selling your book, but also by selling all the ancillary products and services you can offer.
Money is often the key motivator for many authors, but it certainly isn’t the only reason why you should write a book.
Change lives. Books can enlighten, educate, inspire, inform, and entertain. They can and do change lives.
Everyone has at least one story of a book that changed their lives. What book changed your life? Now, write one to change other people’s lives.
Sell a product. Use your book to help promote another product, whether a real world product or an online information product. Books can help you sell all your other products and services. Seed your book with the stories of your other products and services. Include case studies, success stories, examples of failure and success.
Books can sell your products and services faster and easier than anything else. Books allow you to showcase what you do, how well you do it, and how your customers benefit from what you offer.
Build a career. There’s no better way to build a career than to start by writing a book. Books open doors. Books get respect. Books get you promotions. And books get you job offers, again and again.
Boost your credibility. Nothing establishes your authority better than a book. Your book instantly boosts your credibility as a doer, as an expert, as a celebrity, as an authority. Of course, it has to be a good book, a great book, an extraordinary book. The more extraordinary, the more your credibility will grow!
