Do you believe that everything there is to say has already been written about in a book or e-book? Well that’s just not true! You are unique and you have something to say in your unique way. Now is the perfect time to write a book or e-book since they are quick to write (when you have a system) and they’re easy to promote online.

Whether you choose to write a tangible book or an electronic e-book (you can do both!), each is a powerful tool for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to share their knowledge and expertise. It’s a way for you to transition from being only a service provider to being a product seller as well. When you provide a service, you trade your time for money and are limited by the clock and your energy. However, when you write a book or e-book, you leverage your time because you can sell 24/7 and there are no limits.

A book, e-book, or other info-products are also excellent for creating passive profits. You can start with a short report, then expand it to an e-book, add a CD or MP3, then develop a home study course. The sky’s the limit when it comes to creating passive profits with info-products! Just sit back and watch the money roll in, even while you sleep or vacation! (What’s a vacation?)

What are some primary reasons you might want to write a book or e-book?

Additionally, a book can enhance your service business in so many ways.

? To share your expertise and experience with a larger audience
? To impact as many people as possible to help them overcome a problem
? To work less time at your service and have a source of passive income
? To express ideas you’ve had for years and want to pass on to others
? To build a platform or brand, in either your current niche or a new one
? To expand your profit center with additional information products
? To establish your reputation as an expert and attract clients

If any of these reasons resonate with you or if you have another motivation, then it’s time for you to get moving and write that book or e-book. You may have already gotten to the place where you know you want to write one, but you’re stuck. Some of your obstacles may involve finding the time, your limited writing ability and experience, choosing a topic, concerns about publishing and promotion, or costs. What’s your greatest obstacle? Future articles will address these issues.

Today, publishing a book or e-book has gotten simpler and cheaper. You can now print one book, 100 books, or 1,000 books, as you need them. You can begin selling an e-book within minutes after you finish writing it. If you have a website, it’s the perfect location to sell your books and e-books. If you don’t have one yet, you can sell your book or e-book on Amazon, off your blog (which you can set up in less than an hour), and on various other websites across the Internet.

You no longer have any excuse not to write a book or e-book, now do you?
