Carve Out Your Niche: Follow Bob Dylan's Advice and Write Your Book Now

In talking with Mark Wayne of WICH 1310 AM Radio (Norwich, CT) today about my book Carve Out Your Niche, he mentioned that he once was a member of a band. At gigs they would sell copies of a record they had produced. The problem with the record was that they had to buy thousands of copies of it in order to reduce the price low enough for their fans to be bale to afford it.

In the past, the same was true for aspiring authors.

The Times are A Changin'

In the old days, there were two big constraints to publishing your book:

1. You had to hire someone to layout the book in the proper format; and,

2. You had to print thousands of copies of your book (and store them in your garage) to reduce your cost per book.

In other words, to be an author, you had to pay a huge up-front cost of thousands of dollars.

Today, the process been greatly streamlined and less expensive. It's easy to be a self-publisher. Now:

1. You can format your book using Microsoft Word;

2.) You can inexpensively print small numbers of books with book printers like Lightning Source; and,

3.) Your printer can automatically ship copies of your book to Amazon.com, and all the other internet book companies.

Follow Bob Dylan's Advice & Get Started Now

Don't get discouraged because you don't understand the whole process of writing, self-publishing and promotion. Just keep plowing ahead. You can learn everything you need to know as you go along.

Yes the times are a changin'. As Bob Dylan said, "You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone." Write that book. Share your passion and your knowledge. Your book could light the fire in someone's life, and inspire them to pursue their passion.

Don't wait, or the moment may pass.
