 Can You Really Succeed with Books?

          Not too long ago the chances of an average person writing a book was pretty much impossible. After you spent hours writing a book you would submit it to a publisher or 10 or 20 and hope for a response.

          In some cases, you may actually get a response that there may be some interest. 

          Next comes the editing.

          Your idea that you have put your heart in to and transferred to paper gets edited by someone else and modified to “Please the masses” or “make it publishable”.

          Those key points that you felt really got your message across may have been eliminated completely.

          Now that you have a “Publishable” book it’s time for a publisher to make the decision to spend thousands of dollars to print the first edition and get it into the stores.

          If all goes well your book is accepted and the sales begin.

          And somewhere down the road, you may actually make some money.

          But those days are gone.

          Anyone can take the information from their favorite topic, event, passion, hobby, business…. Whatever they want and have it published.

          Writing the book is actually the hard part now.

          Start with a blank page in Word and write.

          Once you are ready, I didn’t say done, create your account on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and follow the simple steps.

          Give it a title, make a cover, upload the book (it will check for spelling errors) and set a price. 

          In about 24 hours or usually less you will receive an email that says your book has been published.

          Share That Link with everyone you know. Let them make the decision to buy your book and post a review.

          Now back to the part about being ready and not done. You don’t need to worry about every little detail in your first draft.

          After some friends and family have supported you and paid a few dollars for your masterpiece ask them if they have any ideas or advice.

          Updating the book is as simple as making the changes in your original documents and uploading it again.

          Now the latest version is there and your family and friends have a limited edition, out of print copy.

          It’s time to ask the question again, Can you really succeed with books?

My answer is Yes!
