One of the greatest benefits of writing a book is that you position yourself as the expert. Most people I talk to have no idea about how to become the expert because most have never really thought about it.

When I ask people how they could become an expert in their field of work most are left without an answer. When I press them a little more for a response most think that it might be through training and a certifying board that regulates experts in any given field,

When I tell them that they can be an expert by first declaring themselves as one and second reinforcing their expert hood by writing a book some will just not believe that it is that easy.

You see in most industries you can position yourself quite quickly as the expert if you do a few very simple things. There is in most cases no certifying board of experts or a God that sanction you as the one for expert hood.

Why is this so important to you? Because once you position yourself as the expert your world will explode with new opportunities. You see most people will seek out and pay more money to people who they perceive as being the expert.

So rather than you having to chase down customers the table will be turned and the customers will seek you out for your expertise. The nice thing about the customers who seek you out for your expertise is that they will pay you more money and be a better customer in general because they know the value of good advice.

I remember years ago in my industry of fire and flood restoration a new fellow came out of the woodwork and declared himself the expert. Well about 50 % of the people in my industry took the stand of who is this guy to declare himself the expert? The other 50% took him at face value and believed he was the expert.

Well to make a long story short here it is 12 years later and he is making about 4 million dollars a year as the expert in my industry. He declared himself the expert and was positioned to attract the high paying clients that wanted his expertise. The miracle of stories like this is that it is easier than almost anyone thinks.

I will be writing about all the different tips and strategies you can use to position yourself as the expert over the next few emails. I will also be talking about eliminating any excuses you may have that rear there ugly head in your own mind. I am sincere when I say if I can do it you can to and I‘m going to show you how.

Committed To Your Expert Success

Interested in self-publishing?  Take a moment to answer the following questions:

• Are you an expert in your field and want to use your published book as a marketing tool to enhance your career?

• Are you an author that is passionate about the content in your book and need 100% creative control?

• Do you want to make more money per book sold than you would working with a major publisher?

• Do you own the rights to republish public domain content?

• Do you, or your company, need to develop publications specifically for your current customers?  For example, manuals, training guides, etc…

If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, then you need to consider self-publishing.

Self-publishing is a viable, profitable, and respected means of getting your book into the hands of your customers. 

Here are three powerful reasons to becoming a self-published author, and why you should consider it for your book:

1. Self publishing enables you to publish any type of content. 

Whether you want to write an autobiography, a training manual, or your favorite vegetarian recipes the sky is the limit.  Traditional publishers will only accept books that have a very wide and mass market appeal, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t thousands of people looking for material just like yours.  Self-publishing can make it happen. 

2. Self-publishing gives you 100% creative control over your book. 

Often, traditional publishers don’t give authors final say on the cover, title, or even final edits of the copy.  For many authors, this simply isn’t acceptable and traditional publishing becomes an endless process of frustration.  Conversely, it is this complete control over the content that makes some authors nervous.  Not to worry, there are many experts that can guide a new author to how to create a bestselling cover, book layout, and even editing.  The important thing to remember is that as a self-published author, you have the final say.

3. Self-publishing is also a highly lucrative means of publishing. 

Not only do you make significantly more money per book than you will with a traditional publisher, you don’t have to pay your literary agent 15% of your earnings.  AND because you can get your book out to market much faster than traditional publishing, it can take up to two years to see your book on bookstore shelves, self-publishing means you can start making your millions much sooner.

Publishing and profiting from your own book is only limited by your imagination. Create a dream life from writing, self publishing and promoting your own book. It is easier than most people think.

Writing a book, regardless of the topic, genre, or content, will change your life. Following are three very important reasons you must write and publish you own book 

1. Writing a book will open up doors of opportunity that you never imagined.
 
I have a friend, who is a well-known brain and quantum physics expert with a PhD.  Only after she self-published her first book, did she say that her career really started to take off.   Not to mention that she made significantly more money simply due to the opportunities that opened up for her as an author.  She was amazed at what a difference publishing made in her life and that:  her title as an author trumped her PhD status.
It’s crazy, I know. She went to school for a total of 21 years at a cost of thousands of dollars and ended up achieving her financial goals only after she wrote and self-published her first book.

2. Your Self-Published book makes you the expert and gives you a substantial edge over your competition. 

Imagine that you just bought a new, and very rowdy, puppy and you need help training him.  Searching the local dog trainers, you find one who has written a book on how to train difficult dogs and you find another trainer with a similar resume but no book under his belt. 

Who do you turn to? 

Most people will hire the dog trainer that has written the book. 

This is the way that the world works.  Those professionals with the title of “Author” are perceived as the experts.  Your book will sell your knowledge, services or products, for you.  You’ll never have to make a cold call again.  Imagine saying to a client that is inquiring about your product or services, “Let me send you my book.” 

3. Your Self-Published book enables you, as an expert, to share your knowledge to the world. 

When you write and self publish your book, you have full control over the contents.  You are the creator and you can express your points in any way you like. This allows you the freedom to convey your thoughts through words and/or illustrations. 

As a writer, you have the ability to create words that paint a picture or spark the imagination of your readers in a way that no other tool can.  Words are powerful, as is knowledge, and you can use your book to express both.

Additionally, if your book is written with the purpose of offering a benefit or helping people solve a problem, then your self-published book and your knowledge are helping others.  It doesn’t get better than being able to make a great living helping others live better lives.

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.
