What’s Your ROI?
Our negotiations got us to within $5,000 of each other. Then my author said this…
“I can’t see the ROI in writing a book.”
Hmm… If he couldn’t see it, I couldn’t see it.
I can tell authors who might be interested in reading their book. I can tell them the sort of information people like to read.
But ultimately, if they don't know why they're writing their book, I can’t tell them.
All I can do is tell them about authors I’ve worked with who did achieve their ROI.
