Have you ever thought about compiling all of those thoughts and conversations into a book that could be used to position you or your company as an authority in the field? If you have, then that's great news, because this episode may well help you along that journey. Book publishing is within reach of us all. And what about how to get it published? This is where we're looking at the Kindle Self Publishing. Now it's called KDP, so Kindle Direct Publishing. It's kdp.Amazon.com and here you can self publish ebooks and paperbacks for free, and you can go to millions of readers on Amazon, and it says that you can actually get your book online within 24 to 48 hours. The overall budget for the book will have been no more than $500 by the time I've paid for all the editing and the layout and the publication and the distribution.
