Nothing opens doors for people like publishing books related to their expertise. And I have even bigger news for you; there has never been a better time in history for you to publish a book based on yourself and what you like to do. Yes, yes, I hear you point to the massive unlimited free information available online. Yes, I hear you point to the fact that all sorts of media, which drives folks crazy and should also be driving them away from books, bombard us all.

But let me tell you a short story to get my point across. In the early days of radio, nobody wanted his or her songs aired on radio. Many were sure that radio spelt doom and would inevitably bring down the music industry. Instead radio opened the door for mega-hits and mega stars like Michael Jackson. And these days people are desperately fighting to get their songs on radio. So, what happened? You see it was assumed that if somebody heard your song on the radio, they would not feel the need to buy your records (in those days). But instead the very opposite happened. Tens of thousands of people who would otherwise never have heard your song, hear it and a substantial percentage can't get enough of it and therefore troop to the store to purchase your tracks.

Books are enjoying a similar boom courtesy of the Internet. That is one of the reasons why Amazon.com is so big and prosperous. However many other smaller book selling operations are doing roaring business on the World Wide Web. You see the web opens up a market of tens of millions of potential readers who would never have heard of your book in hundred years. The truth is that apart from getting to do what you enjoy most by publishing a book on your life experience, you can also very easily make quite a bundle, while you are at it.


Why Are The People Publishing Books Getting Such High Sales?
Why should books sell in millions when we have so much free information floating around on the net? The answer is simple. The information available on the World Wide Web often creates more hunger for information, which can only be satisfied by detailed books. Just like radio still creates more hunger for the songs aired.

In fact the problem is that most of those publishing books have not yet learnt how to make full use of the Internet—the most powerful book promotion tool ever invented. You'll agree with me on this by the time you finish reading this article.

What Should You Write About?
Publishing books is an excellent way to promote your business and unique skills. Books quickly make you an expert in the eyes of the public and is a brilliant and effective way to launch a career as a consultant in whatever it is you are so good at doing. This is exactly how so many have ended up being able to do what they enjoy most for a living. Usually even the books themselves end up being a significant profit center in a consultant's career. For example they can be sold at the back of the room every time you are invited to speak somewhere. Alternatively you can refer to it when giving free consultancy services online at forums (as a strategy to promote your services). There are numerous other ways to promote both your consultancy services and your book.

Promoting Your Book With Popular Keywords And (SEO) Search Engine Optimized Articles
Publishing books is one thing but selling them is quite another. The secret lies in exposing it to your target market and hottest prospects. When you do this you will usually make it all look very easy. It is very easy to do this online because all you need to do is use the right keywords and a little seo (search engine optimization) skills. In fact you don't need to do it yourself, you can just look for a ghost writer who understands books and how to promote them online.

Publishing And Selling Books Is Easier With Blogs
Blogs are the most wonderful and effective promotional tool for selling books. You can publish excerpts as the book is in progress, or you can publish teaser posts once your book is out. There are actually numerous ways to use blogs to guarantee that publishing books is a rewarding and lucrative cash cow for you.

Conclusion
It really does not matter how humble your vocation is, as the saying goes everybody has at least one book in them. Therefore you must seriously consider publishing books on what you know or love.
