Whether you are a self-employed professional, business owner or employee writing a book especially in your industry will do you some good. Why you should you undergo the stress of writing a good book in your field? Here are three reasons;

1. Becoming an Author Enhances Your Credibility: You may be a marketing expert, hardworking management consultant, ICT professional or social media consultant. Writing a book (a good one) in that area of specialty will elevates your status. you gain added respect as references to you will always include the fact that you are an author. Check out the intro below;

“Mr Chris Hills, banker and author of ‘Why Banks Grow Rich’.”

Your peers read your book and when the quality is there your reputation rises a notch or two. this applies to almost anybody no matter the niche or industry you belong to; business, sports, academics (it’s almost like a rule here), medicine etc.

2. Authorship Opens New Income Channels: Making money from selling thousands of copies of your book may not come easy but one good thing about well written book is that it will open up more possibilities for more income for the author. Opportunities to deliver lectures,speeches will come. If you are in marketing or strategic management consulting, human resources etc where you can leverage on public speaking gigs then becoming an author will open doors to make more income as speaker, resource person and facilitator in conferences and workshops.

What if I have nothing to say?

@naijacutee lol. You have to learn about something valuable in your field. Anyways you don't need to write unless you wish to become an authority
