If you had the following choice to either: 1) hand your business card out to a top prospect or 2) hand out a book authored by you on the subject you consult on and you wrote it and published it all at a cost that was incredibly affordable would you choose to write your book now?

The best news about eBook publishing today that if you want to publish your book you can do so on a “print-on-demand” site where it can cost $4 or less per book with a requirement to print only one book at a time! There are also great distribution networks out there to help you look like you have all the resources that any top author receives authoring a book. This means getting into book stores and libraries.
With four best-selling books (#7, Networlding, was #10 on Amazon for a year, in Chicago). I will show you how to get your book working for you as your best marketing tool ever.
Joining me this year are Kerry LaCoste of LaCoste Designs and Sharon Burdette of LaCoste Design.
Kerry LaCoste is the Principal and Creative Director of LaCoste Design, a Chicago based strategic design firm. His work has appeared in many of the most respected national and international visual communication trade publications and books. I call Kerry a visual strategist.

For example, my book, Networlding, is still bringing me strong passive revenue streams ten years after it came out.
