Why do I need money to write a book?

Actually you don’t. Anyone can sit down in one setting compose a book in word document format. Upload it on Amazon and start selling immediately and sit back and wait on the money to come rolling in.

But …

You’ll be sitting there a long time if you expect to become wealthy because:

Who is going to know about your book? On February 3, 2014, there were 1, 315, 048 books on Amazon Kindle alone. (That doesn’t include the paperback books by the way.)

Who will buy your book besides your friends and relatives? (We call that mercy money which is similar to a mercy dating.)

How will you stack up to your competition who spent an average of $1000.00 to publish their book. (Nice cover, edited manuscript, great content)
