Publishing books to make money…

is a little like hanging out in a singles bar if you want to get married.

It might work, but there are way better ways to accomplish your goal.

If you love writing or making music or blogging or any sort of performing art, then do it. Do it with everything you’ve got. Just don’t plan on using it as a shortcut to making a living.

The only people who should plan on making money from writing a book are people who made money on their last book. Everyone else should either be in it for passion, trust, referrals, speaking, consulting, change-making, tenure, connections or joy.

[Speaking of free, we made a small change to the interview dates on the upcoming nano-mba 11-person session for employees at corporations and orgs that make the world a little better.]

RoosterMoon.com runs on the
Genesis Framework

(and so do the sites we build for our clients) Genesis Framework

Genesis is flexible, powerful, and has amazing support; it provides the secure and search-engine-optimized foundation that takes WordPress to places you never thought it could go. It's that simple - start using Genesis now!

I highly recommend using the Genesis Framework, and also occasionally recommend other products I believe would be helpful to you in your business. If you make a purchase through my link, it's likely that I will receive a commission. This doesn't increase your price; in fact, sometimes I'm able to negotiate a lower-than-retail price for my readers.
