Let’s get into the idea of formal publishing and how to make use of it without losing your shirt.

Your goal is to help as many people as possible with your material and to make as much money in the process as possible as long as making that money does not stop you from helping as many people as possible with your material.  What a great concept!

“But what about traditional publishing?”

Remember – most authors get their credibility from their bookstores sales, but make most of their money with their online sales.  Personally I like to have books which are sold both online and off, but not at the cost of forfeiting the massive amount of money that online sales generate.

Let me explain…

It’s been my experience that most publishers will tell you one thing when you speak to them – then try to get you to sign a contract which is completely different than what they promised you verbally.

REMEMBER ONE THING

It doesn’t matter what you agree to over the phone.  The only thing that matters is what you commit to in writing.

Most publishers are ethical people, but like anyone else, they want to get everything they can from each deal.  They will all initially try to get you to sign a contract which grants them the exclusive rights to your work (in all it’s forms), and many will also make you guarantee them either the rights to your next pieces of work, or at least the ‘right of first refusal’. 

Before sealing the deal with ANY publisher – no matter how highly recommended they come - make a list of every profit center you can think of.  Then put a check mark next to the profit centers in which you want to keep all the profits to yourself.

Fill out the list above and decide which of these profit centers you want to keep and which you are willing to negotiate with a publisher. 

Do this BEFORE you go to a publisher.

Writing a book gives you total control over your financial destiny.

That’s a bold statement so let me back it up with a simple analogy about becoming an author, and then show you how you can become a best selling author in 28 days or less…

To get the most of writing a book, you simply need to understand the difference between these 2 people:

Person A: is told that they must work HARD, get a good job, work for years at that job… and then they might be able to live their dream.
How many of you work hard? I’ll bet everyone reading this works hard! How many of you are truly wealthy? That number is probably far less than the number of you who work hard…
What happened? Let me tell you what happened – “THEY” lied…

Now Person B: works SMART. Maybe they write a book and become an author, maybe they do a little research and learn how to market a book, maybe they take that a little further and get a publisher for their book.

I know you’ve heard other say that you need to work SMART, but in today’s concept working smart means … that you work only at things that will give you long term extra income whether you decide to continue working or not – like writing a book, or writing multiple books that sell and that have
longevity on the bookshelves so those books sell for many many years to come.

…and this is something that you can get started with little money, little experience, and right away!

At the end of your life are you going to be like person A or B.

Will you write your book or will you die with your book still inside your head?

What safety methods are you setting up now so you don’t have to worry about laying on your death bed thinking about all you’ve done in life and asking why that whole “Working Hard Thing’ didn’t pay off?

Who’s going to remember you in 10 years? What about 20 years after you’re gone, or 50 years? Are your great grandkids going to admire what you achieved while you lived? Are they going
to be able to use you as a role model…

Think about that for a moment because that was one of the most profound thoughts that was put into my head right before I wrote a book – in fact I wrote my first book with the goals of helping the greatest number of people possible - to outlive me and make my teachings live on way past the point of my lifespan – and to be an instruction guide for my children and their children and all my future generations.
