You may think that writing a book is well beyond your capability, even though you have dreampt about seeing your name in print in the past

Imagine overseeing large orders being filled as your market races to place new orders for your highly successful book.

Perhaps you are looking to escape your suffocating job by quickly building another source of income?

It could be that you already have a great career, but really want to move up within your organization or business, and for that, you need to do something different to set yourself aside from the crowd.

Maybe you already sell products or operate your own business or operate a profession such as a lawyer, chiropractor, real estate agent or accountant - writing a book will become your tool to generate leads and a buzz around your business.

Get the idea, here are 7 reasons for you to write a book right now.

1. Generate revenue. Regardless of whether you take the traditional publishing route or choose to self-publish your own book - you can earn extra income, sometimes SUBSTANTIAL extra income by marketing your own books.

2. Lead Generation. If you operate your own business or rely on leads converting into sales for your living, then writing your own book can make a fantastic difference to your take home pay.
