About The Book
Today, anyone can be a best-selling author. The internet allows anyone to publish and distribute their own non-fiction book that shares their expertise with the world. We no longer have to deal with the “gatekeepers” of the publishing industry. You can reach your readers directly and manage everything yourself for maximum reach and profit. With all of the benefits of creating your expert book, there’s little reason not to:
-
Having a non-fiction book (or books) available online for purchase helps to establish your expert credibility. You’re now an officially published author. This shows people who meet you or come across your website that you have skills and knowledge to share with the world.
-
Books bring clients and customers. Your published book also allows you to charge more for your services. You’re no longer a struggling small business, trying to gain a foothold in your industry. With a book under your belt, you can show potential clients that you offer true value that’s worth paying for.
-
Like your other online efforts, your books help you acquire leads. There are more opportunities for people searching for your products or services to find you. Each place your book is available online leads more people back to you.
-
Your book publishing can lead to other opportunities to share your expertise. You can use your books to score speaking engagements, which helps you to further share expertise, raise your value in your potential clients’ eyes, and acquire leads. Book publishing opens doors.
-
Naturally, your book publishing will also earn you profits and this is one way to build a passive income so that you don’t have to keep working for every penny you make.
What are you waiting on? The time has never been better to write a book that greatly impacts people and transforms lives worldwide.

Chapter 1: Brainstorm Your Book Idea
In this module we’ll look at setting your goals for your expert book, selecting your book topic, and writing your one-sentence defining description of your book.
Choose Your Goal(s) for Your Book
Before you start writing, you need to set a goal for your book, and know where it fits into your overall business. This gives you clarity on the purpose of your book, and helps you stay focused and motivated as you work towards finishing it.
For example, your big professional goal may be to become widely recognized as an expert in your field. Though it’s unlikely that your first book is going to achieve this by itself, it’s going to be one important part of the bigger picture of achieving your goal. State your big long-term goal, and then set your short-term, smaller goals for this book that will help you get there.
