In our society, authors enjoy an elevated stature. It's an impressive thing to be able to walk in a room and say "I'm an author." It's an automatic assumption that the author of a non-fiction book is an expert in the field covered in their book. And that book helps the expert gain even more credibility, more sales, and more income.
So, what if you want to experience the increased credibility, sales, and income, but don't feel that you're an expert yet--does that mean you're not ready, or qualified, to write a book? Fortunately, the answer is 'no.' Writing a truly valuable book (one that your potential clients and customers will read and keep) is not something many people can do 'off the tops of their heads.'
Research is crucial to be certain that the material you present in your book is as up-to-date and applicable as possible. During the process of this research, guess what happens? You become the expert you want to be! When you immerse yourself in your area of interest, your past experiences and existing knowledge will meld with the new information you're gathering, making you a greater authority in that field.
Don't wait until you've reached some elusive milestone before calling yourself an expert...start your research right now and you'll find yourself firmly on the road to that impressive title. Then, when you're ready to start pulling all that information together into a book, talk to Matt at Expert Self Publishing--he's my first choice for helping new experts get their book produced professionally...and quickly, too.
