As a business owner, you promote and advertise your business to do what? Get attention to increase sales, right?

Having a published book will undoubtedly increase your visibility, draw interest, and build your credibility.

Having a published printed copy of your book in hand to share about your business and expertise is like an attractive business card. It elaborates on who, what, when, where, and how of your business, the benefits, and why they should purchase your products or services.

Having a published book positions you as an authority. You become an expert or go-to person on that topic. For example, XYZ Media is looking to publish a story based on the subject of your book; you may likely come up in their search and book a media opportunity.

If you’re an entrepreneur looking to expand your business, writing a book should be high on your “To Do” list. 

In a nutshell. Here are my top five reasons if you are an Entrepreneur, you should write a book.

1. Builds credibility – You’ve done what others are talking about they wish they could do.  You’ll get respect!

2. Increases visibility – They will see you! The media reaches out to experts. Authoring a book can make you a go-to expert on specific topics in your book!

3. Helps people find you – Your business ranks higher when it’s easier to find online. Amazon is the number one search engine! 

4. People will talk about you – Books get people talking about the content and the author! Yes, word-of-mouth is the number one way to grow a business (or damage it). 

5. It makes you money!! Your book can add multiple revenue streams, and it expands your business by helping you reach more people! 

Now that you understand the value and benefits of writing a book, are you ready to write your book? If you want more details on how to write, publish, and market the book that can grow your business, submit here for details.
