The way that Expert Author Publishing has come to be a thriving company is nothing short of amazing. There were so many downloads and synchronicities that occurred to make this happen. I woke up at 2:00 in the morning with the title 101 Reasons Why You Must Write a Book: How to Make a Six Figure Income by Writing and Publishing Your Own Book in my brain. (I get my downloads from 2:00 to 4:00 in the morning.)

Once I started writing that book, I was on the road to a whole new career. Then I got a $997.00 CD set from Paul Hartunian about speaking and selling from the platform and one of the things that was really helpful was that he recommended Mike Round’s “Talk, Talk, Talk: Your Guide to Making Money Through the Rubber Band Circuit, The Rubber Chicken Circuit and Radio Talk Shows” a DVD set for $50 about getting yourself set up in business by teaching adult education classes. Teaching adult ed classes, of course, has been a backbone of my business, not to mention how many opportunities and books I have helped birth because I’m willing to speak in front of audiences and teach workshops and classes.

Back when I was thinking of the book Change One Belief I had the idea for a book written by one of my mentors, and sure enough, 8 months later she calls me about having me publish her book.

When you put your thoughts out there with a goal in mind, the synchronicities that happen are amazing. The important part, of course is that you take action on your guidance.  

I couldn’t have planned the things that are happening to me now better than they’re actually happening. When you look back on your life, you become aware of all these different synchronicities that all happen in order (and sometimes they might not be exactly as you planned). But if you’re patient and you have faith, you’ll see it was a blessing how it happened—it all happened perfectly. 

The title for the anthology I’m doing called Change One Belief was downloaded to me in the same way. I admit sometimes I don’t even write these cosmic messages down, but if it’s still there in the morning, that tells me it has to be done.  I admit it–I ignored Change One Belief, but it kept coming back to me 5 times! After the 5th time, I knew this was a book that had to be published.   

I couldn’t have written a better script than what the universe has written for me, but you must be aware of when you get downloads or your intuition is speaking to you — and this is so crucial that I’m repeating it – honor it by taking action, and you’ll witness miracles in your life.

We’re looking at a publication date of January 2012 for the Change One Belief anthology. There’s still time to get your story published in the book or if you know someone with a great story, go to www.changeonebelief.com for guidelines and submission instructions. This could be your piece of synchronicity right now, so go ahead and take action!  

There has been a lot of excitement at Expert Author Publishing lately. I held a successful All-day Workshop on March 6, which I am excited to tell you all about in this blog post. I also received terrific news from one of our authors, which I will also fill you in on.

The photo above was taken at my March 6 “Write and Publish Your Own Book in 40 Days” All-day Workshop. A great group of soon-to-be published authors attended and they were excited and ready to learn the tools they need to get their books published and into the hands of readers. A huge draw of this particular workshop was our special guest speaker, Nina Telpoukhovskaia.

You might recall from an earlier blog post that Nina is one of our Amazon Best-selling Authors. She is a true inspiration and role model for our aspiring authors, and it was a pleasure to have her speak to us about her accomplishments. Nina started her talk by explaining how she went about setting up an Amazon Best Seller Campaign. This information was very valuable for the workshop attendees, coming from a woman whose book hit #1 in the “Sales and Selling” category on Amazon’s Canada site!

Nina has also experienced success beyond selling copies of her book. One thing I always stress at my workshops is that becoming a published author can open doors in your life and career that you never imagined. Nina is a perfect example of this! She spoke to the workshop attendees about using her published (and best-selling) author status to receive spectacular job offers. Since publishing her book, Nina has positioned herself as a true expert in her field. Thanks to being set apart from others who do the same work she does, she was offered a very coveted marketing job with the 2010 Winter Olympics! Talk about prestige building upon prestige. What makes her story even more amazing is that Nina came from Russia only a few years ago. She couldn’t even speak English. To go from that point to having a best-selling book in Canada is truly amazing and inspirational.

Before I wrap up my discussion of how the workshop went, I did want to tell you another success story from one of our authors. Marco Longley, the author of The Ultimate Hot Tub and Pool $ales Book: Discover How To Double Your Sales in 7 Days, has achieved quite a bit of recognition after he became a published author. His book has already shipped to over ten different countries! What’s more, he just let us know that he has booked an event as a keynote speaker that will pay $4,000. With other speaking enquiries already in from Dubai and the United Kingdom, Marco is well on his way to achieving a tremendous future with his book and his status as a published author.

Our authors are certainly inspiring, and it was terrific to hear from them about their progress at the workshop on March 6. Keep an eye out for two books that we will be publishing soon: a book on Spiritual Chemistry and another about how to make an extra $150 in tips per night than the average waitress. We are ecstatic that so many of our authors are choosing to take that next step to get their books published, and we wish them all the best!

This past month, I had the terrific opportunity of visiting a former student of mine at Coles Bookstore for her book signing. Alice Maryniuk published her long-awaited book Thinking For a Change: Transforming your life by transforming your thoughts early in 2010 and has already started a successful marketing campaign for it.

Alice is among a growing number of my students who have gone on to publish their books through my publishing branch, Profits Publishing. She had us format her manuscript while she outsourced her cover design. The end result was a beautiful book that is now in the hands of readers and is now working for her.

Alice was incredibly gracious to grant us a video interview during her book signing. Watch it and discover what she has learned about improving her own life by becoming a published author!

Publishing her own book has already done wonderful things for Alice—after only a month! As she explains in the video, our guidance and encouragement at Expert Author Publishing as both teachers and publishers helped her to believe that she really could finish her book and reap the rewards of doing so. Her business has improved along with her sense of accomplishment. Great things are happening for Alice, and we couldn’t be happier for her!

Now it’s time for you to finally experience all of the miraculous changes that becoming a published author can bring about in your own life! Imagine yourself in the video, signing your book at a local bookstore. We can’t wait for you to fill Alice’s shoes and become the next published author from our Profits Publishing branch! If Alice’s interview wasn’t motivation enough, I know that our workbook, “How to Write, Publish & Make Money With Your Book,” will point you in the right direction. Get the workbook now at http://www.expertauthorpublishing.com/write_publish_make_money.html and start changing your life for the better!

We all appreciate having role models in our lives. It is inspiring to see someone else achieve a goal that we have been aspiring to or have been struggling with.

Do you aspire to become a published author? Do you want to start enjoying the prestige and credibility that writing your own book will give you? Would you appreciate the prestige and boom in business that being a Best Selling Author will provide?

Meet your newest two role models in the Expert Author Publishing family! Both Nina Telpoukhovskaia and Karen Joy Hall have recently achieved the illustrious rank of Amazon Best Selling Author! These are both former students of mine who took what they learned in my class and made it work for them. Below are screenshots of their rise to the top!

Imagine what being an Amazon Best Selling Author can do for you … I personally have found it to be a useful distinction with my own business. When you reach the end of this post, you will see that my signature line includes information about my own #1 Best Selling Book. Nina and Karen can both claim the same thing now! That little line of text provides your customers with trust in you and your business. If plenty others have considered your book (and ultimately your knowledge) to be worth purchasing, then you must have something good to say!

If you don’t write and publish your book, you will never have that extra marketing tool of claiming that you are a #1 Amazon Best Selling Author. Now that you are aware of the prestige it can bring to you and your business, why not go ahead and write that book? Nina and Karen are finally experiencing the life-changing benefits that writing a book can bring about. Find out for yourself!

Nina led a very successful Amazon Best Seller campaign. Find out how she did it! I am having Nina speak at my next All-day Workshop on March 6, 2010. Anyone that would like to join us is absolutely welcome and I would love to see you there. There are only 22 spots left as of this blog post so don’t wait – Get Your Seat Now! http://www.expertauthorpublishing.com/classes-seminars/

101 Reasons Why You Must Write A Book: How To Make A Six Figure Income By Writing & Publishing Your Own Book

In business terms the internet is still a baby but in internet terms it is a lifetime old. Much has changed on the internet over its short life but I must say that without a doubt it is still one on the greatest opportunities for anyone to stake out a claim on the internet.

The internet is still the Wild, Wild West and you must get your virtual real estate plot now. The internet is still growing and evolving by leaps and bounds each day and will continue for decades to come.

Where else can you reach so many targeted customers, still extremely cost effective and get all this with the click of a mouse? The sooner you get on board with a website the better.

You must have a website for your book and you must have both your book and website pages titled with words that will make it easy for your targeted customers to find you. If you make it easy for your customers to find you; you also make it easier for yourself to sell books and make money.

One of my students a few weeks ago told me in class that he was looking for some information on how to write a screen play. He went to the search engines and quickly found a book entitled ‘How to Write a Screen Play’ He said it was exactly what he was looking for and bought the book.

It doesn’t get much easier than that and I’m sure that author will make money for years to come.

You will be taking a very big gamble as an author by not taking your spot on the net. Don’t risk not being able to be found. Set up your website today!

Want to know a simple little technique to help you get more readers to your articles?

Go to http://www.ezinearticles.com/  and you will notice down the right hand side of the page there are pictures of authors under the Author Spotlight column.

There is a wealth of knowledge in that column that is easily accessible by having a closer look at those authors and their articles.

Click on one of the faces in that row that has at least 20 articles so you can start to get better numbers to quantify what I am about to show you.

What you will see when you click on those faces is those author’s statistics. It will list the titles of all the articles for that author. You will also see the category the article was submitted to and then the date it was submitted and lastly the important number of how many views that article has had.

This is your key to success in authoring article titles that will get lots of people reading your articles.

Once you begin to study the article statistic pages of several authors you will notice that certain titles and subjects get considerably more views than other articles.

You may notice that many of the articles by a particular author will have a few hundred views but a few will have some times 10 even 50 times the normal amount of views.

Start looking at authors’ statistics in your niche and you will soon see a correlation between subjects, title types and number of views.

So how can this help you? Start to notice the articles that have the most views and write articles on that topic as well as use the same type of hooks those authors have used in their titles.  You will soon start to have the same readership views as they get.

If you start to research this and take away the winning techniques that these popular articles use in the subjects and titles you can dramatically improve your article reader ship which will translate into more traffic going to your website. Once you have more traffic you will be in a very good position to turn those readers into more sales.

You might even notice on your own articles that some are being read considerably more than others. Have a close look at the title and subject that you used and do more of it.

The internet and technology is giving us all statistical numbers that only a few years ago weren’t available to us. Take these numbers and use them to your advantage and also to help your customers.

I love to read and have always been impressed with authors. They were the experts I turned to in my life and my business and are the very reason for a successful business and wonderful and happy family life. I have learned so much from so many different authors and will always be grateful to them for the rest of my life.

I have been in the brick and mortar business, first in carpet cleaning and then in fire and flood restoration for over 3 decades. It is hard to believe where the time has gone but it does steadily march on. Although I have been successful over the decades my passion has not been in my chosen business. My passion has been reading, learning and helping others live more successfully through their businesses.

I have come to know that we are all born rich and successful but that most of us resist this truth. I know to that I resisted living my life’s passion because I was to busy making money in my business. It was through reading that I learned I can be, do and have anything I want in life by just becoming aware of it.

I know most of us have been brought up with the ‘you can’t have your cake and eat it to’ mentality but that is a lie. You can have your cake and eat it to and I have become aware of this truth and will live it daily. Although I still hear great debates from very intelligent people that you can’t have it all, I am for one not going to listen to that mantra anymore.

My and Jeff’s mission through this website is to help and encourage as many people as possible to create the lifestyle of their dreams by writing and publishing their own book. There is unlimited opportunity for anyone to leapfrog their life and success through the writing and publishing of their own book. This website will give you the tips and strategies to make you aware of just how easy it is for you to do.

It has been almost 600 years since a 39 year old German man by the name of Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press and still very few people are taking advantage of the unlimited opportunities he made available to us all. It was through reading that was made available to the masses by the printing press that we all became just a bit more aware and conscious of all the opportunities we have to our avail.

If you truly want to have your cake and eat it to, you can and one of the quickest and easiest ways to do it is to write and publish your own book. Although your book may only be your calling card at first it will soon grow into an automated system that with proper nurturing and care will provide extraordinary opportunities for you and your family for decades to come.

I learned a long time ago from Zig Ziglar that if you help enough people get what they want you will get what you want. It is the mission of Expert Author Publishing to help people live their ultimate dreams through the writing and publishing of their own book.

The only way that writing and publishing your own book can remain a secret to creating your perfect life is for you not to take action. Don’t let that happen to you. Take action because it will be the most important action you will ever take. Get started today.
