Should You Self-Publish Your Book?

    Submitted by editor on Mon, 09/24/2012 - 16:47

    The following are five reasons why small businesses should self-publish (open publish) a book:
     
    1.      Marketing. Being able to hand someone a book is more powerful and memorable than giving them a brochure or business card.
     

     

    Self-Publishing gets easier and easier each year for home-based entrepreneurs.

    2.      Expertise. Having a book on a topic or niche is an effective way to establish a company or person as an expert in their field.

    3.      Sales. Offering a book for sale adds another revenue stream for small businesses.

    4.      Taxes. Small businesses have the advantage of being able to claim a tax deduction for any expenses related to preparing the book for publication.

    5.      Extension. A book offers an extension of a person's business. It will give customers the opportunity to learn more.
