Picture it now…You, a published author!
I printed my very first book at home in 2005.
While talking to my class about how my wife and I planned our entire wedding
in just 8 days (out of necessity, not choice*) the class suggested I write a book about that
to help other couples see what was possible and learn my shortcuts.
Over the years I’ve gained a bit of a reputation for getting things done fast and well.
The challenged seemed like fun so I typed the chapters up in Microsoft Word and printed a
few sets of books at my local printer including a glossy cover I designed. I cut the pages myself, glued them together using a binding vise I made off a Youtube video and voila! I had a “book”
What was a lot of work to create a poor representation of a paperback then, became much simpler only a short time later.
My second self-publishing project was much better. Photoshop Tip Cards sold
in 13 countries around the world and made me a profit of $5000. Not bad, I thought
for turning 64 pages of what I know into
But I was still printing and assembling all the books myself!
Now, using Amazon’s KDP publishing platform, your professional quality paperback book can be printed and published quickly and cheaply. In fact, it costs you nothing to get your book listed on the Amazon.com website, the largest seller of books in the world.
How would it feel to turn the knowledge in your head into a fortune in passive income?

My book, “Book Writing Magic” (http://bookwritingmagic.com) is a simple reference
that fills in all the details…and you’ll know my system works because
“Book Writing Magic” was created using the same system described
Passive, residual income. That’s the dream right?
Do the work once and keeping earning money forever.
Plus, there is no better feeling than holding your very first published book
with your name on the cover! It like holding the income-producing child you never had!
Imagine showing your new book to friends, family, colleagues
If you could, and I promise you could, what would you create a book about?
In the past ten
print on demand and Kindle publishing platforms. I’ve helped other
Every month now, money just comes into my bank account. I can spend it any way I like. What would you buy with your book royalties?
For income producing books, my mentor Bob Bly offers a great resource, “WRITE AND GROW RICH”
There are far more reason than money to write your own book though.
Personal pride. Enjoyment. Helping Others.
There are many styles of books you can create too.
Fiction Books – love to create stories? Here’s your chance!
How-to Books – share the knowledge in your head to help others
Journal Books – Journal books are very popular and require little to no writing at all
Note Books – Add your own favorite quotes or doodles
Poetry – I co-created a cat limerick book with others!
Coloring Books – very popular now, do you love to draw or create designs?
Kids Books – simple stories, A-B-Cs, mostly pictures. Very easy. Customize for your grandkids! You can print one book or many…it doesn’t matter. Many other kids named (MARY, JOE, BILL or KATE, or whatever name) might enjoy that book too!
Autobiographies – tell the story of your life, immortality, life lessons for the kids and grandkids.
Lots of book creation options are available. There’s always room for your book too!
This is the first time in history, anyone can write and publish their own book. No publishing houses to say “NO!” to you. You decide.
What is your idea for a book?
If not a book, how will we, future generations remember you?
“Bene Vivere!”
*No, it was not a “shotgun wedding”. Her visa was set to expire! Is that better for you!
