Dan Poynter, CSP, The Book Guy - “Turning Speeches into Books”

Would you like meeting planners to call you, rather than the other way around?
Would you like MORE exposure, MORE credibility and MORE speaking opportunities?
Would you like to know how to turn your book into a profit center?

Meeting planners want to hire the expert—the most knowledgeable person on the subject. The expert is the author of the book. Your book will bring you more exposure, more credibility and more speaking opportunities. And, a book provides you with an additional profit center (some speakers actually make more money on their back-of-the-room sales than on speaking.)

You will discover how to:

Ensure there is a market for your project
Find time to write
Find material to fill your manuscript — without leaving home
Break your project down into easy-to-attack chunk
Get illustrations – practically free
Find relevant quotations & stories
Get the project ready for the printer
Make the choice between looking for an agent or publisher and publishing yourself
