An Excellent Way to Make Extra Money During the Recession

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 16, 2008 --

With more and more jobs are being lost every day, savings are being lost in the stock market and in investments, and with a gloomy forecast for a quick change, many people are looking for a way to make extra money. One of the best ways, surprisingly, is to write a book. Books are low-ticket items and not effected by the recession as much as more expensive things. With traditional publishers, publishing can be a long, drawn-out process, and it can take over a year to see a book in print. A way around this is to self-publish. With self-publishing you can be making money in months, and self-publishing is now much cheaper with the advent of POD (Publish on Demand), and it is much easier to sell the book on Amazon.com. In his book "You Should Write a Book: Writing it With Style and Clarity, Publishing Beautiful Pages, Selling Thousands of Copies" author Barry Parker show you how to write a book people will love, how to self-publish it, and how to sell it. He also shows you that there are many advantages to self-publishing. Some of them are:

You won't have to spend months or years trying to find a publisher.

You get a much larger fraction of the retail price of your book.

A self-published book can be on the market in a couple of months.

You have complete control over your book.

Selling the book is also much easier now than it was a few years ago, particularly with the use of the internet and Amazon.com
