Dear (Future) Author:
Nothing has done more to accelerate my career, give me personal satisfaction, raise my income, and increase my wealth than writing and publishing nonfiction books.
Why?
Even in today's post-literate electronic age, few things impress colleagues, clients, and the masses more than being a published book author.
CIO magazine once ran a profile of the top 10 gurus in Information Technology. I checked on Amazon, and every one of these gurus had written at least one book.
It's the same with gurus in any other field. Alan Dershowitz in law ... Dr. Phil in relationships ... Dr. Ruth in sex ... Tom Peters in management - all are famous in part because they are published book authors.
Edward Uhlan of Exposition press once said, "When a person has written something on a topic, and gets into print, people assume that he or she knows something about it."
You know that - whether you're a copywriter, marketer, consultant, coach, speaker, entrepreneur, or executive - writing and publishing a book can help establish you as a thought leader in your field and accelerate your career and business.
Or maybe writing a book has nothing to do with prestige or status. I don't really know you or your personal motivation. You may have a story to tell ... ideas to communicate ... or you just may love books and writing.
But whatever your reason, you want to write a book and get it published and hold a printed book with your name on the cover in your hands.
Well, there's no faster route to getting into print than self-publishing. And no one better equipped to guide you in the process than my friend Fred Gleeck.
Fred is the author of more than 15 self-published business books. Titles include: Marketing and Promoting Your Own Seminars and Workshops ... Selling Information ... Speaking for Millions ... and Selling Products from the Platform, to name just a few.
More important, Fred is a successful and wealthy Internet marketer - and his self-published books are the foundation on which his information empire is built.
Have you ever thought that you'd like to write and publish a book some day ... but you're not sure how to go about it?
Now, in our audio home study program Self-Publishing Profits, Fred reveals step by step his proven, profitable process for writing, publishing, and selling self-published nonfiction books....

Act now and save $30
I can't say what it is worth to YOU to get your book published. Only you can put a price on that.
I do know what it has been worth to me - literally, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in extra income through -
Advances ... royalties ... book club sales ... serialization ... speaking engagements ... and consulting contracts - all because I was the guy who "wrote the book" on my topic.
Years ago, I would occasionally ghostwrite book proposals for people - at $2,500 a pop.
And that's just for the book proposal. They were on their own when it came to finding an agent, selling the proposal to a publisher, and getting the book written.
Once or twice, the client talked me into helping them write the book, for which I took either a flat fee or half the advance. That usually worked out to another $20,000 to $25,000 per book.
These days, I get asked to write book proposals or help someone find a publisher for their book or give advice on self-publishing at least once a week.
Unfortunately, I am simply too busy with my own writing. So - regretfully, because I like to help authors get published - I turn them all away.
But today it won't cost you $25,000 or even $2,500 to have me help you get your book published.
The list price of my 3-CD audio learning program, Self-Publishing Profits, is $127 - and that's what it will sell for later in the year.
But order now and you pay only $97 ... a $30 savings off the regular rate ... less than I charge for just 15 minutes of my time.
