Write A Book - 8/101 Entrepreneur Mistakes & Lessons

I believe that you cannot really go wrong by writing a book. If you decide not to write a book then it is business as usual, where as if you do decide to write a book then the worst thing that can happen is that your English grammar will improve. But is that really a bad thing? No. You may also get a sale or two online, and that's not bad either.Millions of books are published a year, but how many authors do you know? By writing a book you are a select few people that have actually sat down, researched and written what you know.Also, writing a book is a way to ensure people recognise you as an authority. When you know your stuff you can write a book about it, and that way people know that you know your stuff.The way I also see it is: do your idea justice and share it with the world.It does not need to be a book per say, it could be a blog, video, commentary or interviews.The principle is to package your knowledge so you can share it and sell it in the world.This is how you become an authority: by sharing your expertise so people can consume your knowledge and attribute what they know to you.After all, the word "authority" has the word "author".Define your knowledge: what you know and do not know, and begin to write a book on the topic.Use the Createspace publisher as I mentioned earlier to get your book into physical form and use Kindle (KDP) to get your book on ebook readers.Find some templates and get writing. One very quick template I know: define 10 chapters and ask and write about 15 questions per chapter that the read will want answered. These questions make up the body of the book.I find that once you begin writing, more ideas come to you and your book quickly fills up, and soon you have an idea for another book.Check out one of my bookshere.
