I went to a live networking event last night, something I rarely do anymore. Because online networking is so efficient—I can reach so many more people more easily and quickly, I don’t have to wear panty hose, and I don’t have to eat rubber chicken—I rarely do the live networking events. But this was an unusual one because it stemmed from an online networking site, LinkedIn. Someone started a San Diego branch of LinkedIn, so all these folks who had met online, could now come and meet live!
I enjoyed it, because, let’s face it, I have to go out of the house some time! But what was really gratifying about the event is that after everyone introduced themselves and we had general networking, a bunch of people came up to me with the classic line, “I’ve been thinking about writing a book…” I get this a lot when I tell people I’m an author and ghostwriter, and most who take my card never follow up. And even when I follow up, they flake out.
But in my introduction I said, “I believe everyone has a book in them. And if you’re a service provider selling your time for dollars, you must write a book or other information product for passive income.” Well, you wouldn’t believe some of the book ideas that I heard about last night. I won’t share them here because if these people do ever write their book, I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag. But some of the ideas were really out there.
I believe that if you have a passion, if you have a niche, if you have an expertise, if you have specialized knowledge, then you have a book in you. How can I help you get it out?
Happy info-products!
