You can get “Build a Better Business Book” now — or sign up for the free Webinar

If you’re considering writing a nonfiction book, go ahead and get my comprehensive book on the topic now. It’s got everything you need to know, and it’s no longer a pre-order — you can get your copy now. (The full table of contents is at the end of this post.)

There are three ways to get access to the content in this book.

1. Buy the Kindle eBook on Amazon. You can download it now for $8.99. I have no idea why the price is set that low; they’ll probably fix it some time soon, but you may as well buy it while it’s cheap.
2. Buy the book from the publisher. My publisher Amplify is shipping copies now. Amazon isn’t shipping yet.
3. Join my Webinar. It’s at 2pm on Tuesday June 20. I’ll tell you some stories about authors like you who succeeded (and failed!) and share some valuable tips on ideas, planning, writing, and book promotion. And if’s free, of course.

If you prefer an audiobook, I promise, it’s coming; I’ll record the last few bits once my voice no longer sounds like a frog and it should be ready in two weeks.
