Creating content is the new "it" in business success. You have lots of ideas and experience. Why not write a book and upload it as a free e-book this weekend. Or publish it at Blurb or Lulu. This weekend? Yup. Here's how:
Get a dozen or so sheets of paper.
Write the title of your book on one sheet. (Google the title to make sure it's not already in use later.)
Get ten sheets of paper and number them 1-10. These are your chapters. At the top of the page, write the chapter title and below that, the numbers 1-10. Under that, next to the numbers 1-10, write the questions this chapter will answer. (Yes, you can use your word processor and get this done in 20 minutes.)
Now, have someone you feel comfortable with ask you those questions. Answer them and record the session.
Now send the audio file to Verbal Ink or any other reputable transcription service and for about $1.50 a minute they'll transcribe it for you.
On another sheet of paper write your favorite sources affiliated with that content.
Now send it off to an editor.
When you get it back, take a breeze through and fix the rough spots. (A more expensive and skilled editor will do this for you.)
Voila. The book you've been waiting 20 years to write is done.
Send me a copy.
What are you going to write about? Tell me.
