Are you a published author?

Don't laugh -- it used to be very difficult to get published, but now you can simply publish your own work and cut out all the middlemen.  In fact, there has never been a better time to write detailed, information-packed reports and books and sell them all over the world.

Everyone has a story to tell, everyone has something to teach others, everyone has special knowledge about certain subjects that others are willing to pay top dollar for.  Are you an expert at home inspections?  Real estate?  Little League baseball?  Scrapbooking?  Interior design?

People are willing to pay you for what you know, you just have to get it out in front of them where they can buy it.  Often, the easiest way to go about this process is to partner with someone who can take care of the technical details like payment, product delivery, web sites, customer care, etc.  You can even hire a writer to put your ideas and information into crisp, powerful prose.
