SHORT IS THE NEW LONG
Ha! You thought I was going to talk about how a 5-minute Ignite talk can be just as effective as a 15-minute TED talk, or a one-hour keynote. Wrong.
This session is for everyone who wants to become a published author and diss the New York publishing industry at the same time. You don't need one of the Big Six publishers to write and publish a short eBook.
Why short? Because a short, professionally-edited book on a provocative topic will reap all the rewards you are looking for as a published author: professional recognition and accolades, high-profile speaking gigs, more clients, more money.
Why an eBook? Because a short eBook is easier to write and quicker to publish. Start with a Kindle version and launch it at the magic price of $0.00. Add in a professionally-designed cover and a killer title. Now you're a respected author! Stop talking about the book you want to write. Start writing and you can ship before the end of 2012.
