"From Entrepeneur to Infopreneur"

By now you've heard most business experts stress the importance of writing a book or e-book. If you own your business, you know something that most people don't know. Even if you don't own a business, if you think about it, you can do something better than the average person can. As the saying goes, people always want to "pick your brain." Having some form of informational product is a great way to start.

Whether you're starting a business whose purpose is to disseminate information, or you're an entrepreneur expanding into informational products, the book From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur by Stephanie Chandler is meant for you.

I've read a couple of books from this author and one thing I can assure you is that you will get tons of information, references, and website links from any of her books.

The book From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur helps walk you through the process of:
  • Self publishing your book
  • Publishing an e-book or a "special report"
  • Efficient delivery of your books or e-books to consumers
  • Having industry leaders like Amazon sell your products
  • Publishing newsletters and tip booklets (i.e. 50 Things for the Pre-Law Student
  • Establishing course materials and/or teaching classes via email
  • Public Speaking and becoming a paid presenter
  • Up-selling and cross-selling your products
What makes this book different: it's written by someone who has run a business and successfully entered the informational industry. Every chapter has numerous links and references to reliable sources; unlike any other business book out there. The information is concise and simple, broken down in easy-to-read bullet points by topic; while also including some narrative that makes it intriguing.

It also has interviews from other infopreneurs who list their experiences on entering the information industry. One thing they all agreed on is that they should have started sooner because the business turned out to be easier than they had envisioned.

I'll be putting the information that I learned from this book to use. So what are you waiting for? To learn more about becoming an infopreneur, visit http://www.businessinfoguide.com/
