These are reasons, but they aren't real. They are myths. You can write a profitable book-even a lot of books--fast! Here's solutions:

Getting Your Book Written--Six Myths and Options

4. Takes writing ability.

If you can talk you can write. Readers want books written by a wise and savvy friend who will guide them gracefully to success. They want passion and natural writing more than perfect syntax.

After you write your book, you can get it edited by a professional, or if you want to save time and money, edit it as you go by using proper headings that state your audience's problem he wants solved, and following that with a concise answer. It's important to hook your reader all through your chapters, so they will finish them and recommend the book to their associates. They can become your 24/7 sales team if you write your chapter aimed at what they want and need. A book coach can help you with this.

5. Needs an agent or a publisher.

You know what a book could mean to your career, or your life. If you didn't write a book, you'd miss a lot of fun, you'd miss being a star or on radio/TV talk show with your popular or trade nonfiction book, or you'd miss sharing your unique and important message with others.

All well and good, but how will you get people to look at your book? Maybe an agent or publisher? The sad truth is they will only accept on 1-2% of submitted manuscripts and it takes up to two years to publish the traditional way. Agents and publishers bet on big name authors they know can sell books.

Some authors think that the publishers will market and promote the book. Maybe for a few months, but the author must pay from book sales to take those painful book tours. Publishers let you go after a few months and you are on your own to promote. Instead, read a short book on how to create a launch and lifelong marketing plan. Then, start a computer marketing folder, including all the actions you will take and useful contacts. It's best to start thinking marketing as you write that first chapter.

6. The book may not sell well.

Know that if you have a book that shares new, unique and useful information, it has enough significance to sell well. A book is far more saleable when you know your particular audience —their habits, fears, habits, complaints, desires and dreams.

Write an audience profile before you write your book, so your book has an angle, and will stand out from the crowd.

Ray Bradbury said, "I wrote the first draft of "Fahrenheit 451" in just nine and a half days." He also advises us to write short articles or stories. They can become a longer book. A page a day will yield two to ten books a year. If Ray Bradbury can write a book fast, so can YOU.

Think of your benefits in writing a book! Your book expresses who you are. Your clients, associates, and companies who need speakers or coaches need your book. Your fiction audience wants entertainment. A book ensures a constant stream of contacts who consider you a leader in your field. People online are looking for information on your topic every day.

Whether you market your book offline or Online, people want your solutions, inspirational words, and stories. What follows? A lifelong, constant stream of income.
