Establish your expert authority
What if you were considered the expert in your field?
Would that attract your Ideal Prospects?
Am I kidding? Not on your life.
Many of us dream about doing that.
One way to do it is to write and publish a book.
Have your ever dreamed of writing a book?
Research shows 80% of people want to write one.
Less than 8% discipline themselves to do it.
Why consider writing a book?
The first question to ask is: Why should I?
Don’t I have enough to do already?
If you feel that way, quit reading right now.
The rest of this is not for you.
Writing a book is hard. It takes time and energy.
But it has a great payoff.
It will attract prospects to you and your business.
It should be one of your top three marketing tools.
Smart business owners use:
1. Direct response advertising campaigns.
2. Personal newsletters to clients and prospects.

Publishing a book is not without an investment.
You’ll need a ghost writer unless you do it yourself.
There are editors, designers and proof readers to pay.
Look at a book as a business investment.

1. Establish you as your field’s expert authority.
Prospects will seek you out as the trusted authority.
