Ready to write your non-fiction expert book?

Ok, let’s go…

Why write an expert non-fiction book?

This is Author and writer, Alan Forrest Smith here.

First, let me share this story with you.

In 2018 I released a new non-fiction book (not my first) targeted at one of my own personal expertise areas. That area is the hairdressing business. I trained and worked as a hairdresser and salon owner from 1982 right through to 2003 when I sold my last salon.

The book is called The Salon Punk.

It’s available in all good bookstores online including the big ones like Amazon. In fact, this book is distributed in front of around book buying 71,000 wholesalers. Now, look at this (and this is part of the reason you should write your expert book).

Here is what happened after I released my new book.

  • It started to sell overnight.

  • My credibility in the industry went through the roof.

  • My speaking invites went crazy.

  • My consulting fees went up by 2000%.

  • I got inundated with guest appearances.

  • The book had a hugely positive influence on the industry.

And that was only part of what happened.

This wasn’t my first book, it was actually my 19th book. My other books are on subjects such as philosophy, short stories, poetry, and some others.

Yet nothing had sold or brought in the returns and results as this one did.

Now I know this about writing and selling books. 

If I can do that anyone can do it… YOU CAN DO IT!

But I did make a lot of mistakes before I got to that point. I had spent a ton of cash trying to become an author and get the author thing going. 

Eventually, I got my idea out of my head and onto paper. Then to print. Then to publish. And then the really tough bit and that is to sell and distribute the book like crazy.

This book sells and has sold every day for the past two years.

Are you ready to get your non-fiction book out of your head and into a real book?

I am going to show you how to get your book out of your head and into print. And then I will show you how to sell your book online and offline with or without a publisher.

I am talking about a REAL BOOK - not an eBook. From conception to cover to selling online.

Why listen to Alan Forrest Smith - me!

I do want to set this upfront as we are talking about real business here. What I am going to share with you has been worth hundreds of thousands of pounds in sales to me. Do not underestimate the power of having your own book on a shelf.

How it started …

  • I began writing for my punk band in 1979

  • I have been writing for my businesses since 1985

  • I am a very well respected marketing consultant, advisor, and copywriter

  • I have been generating my income from writing for over three decades

  • I wrote my first official book in 1999 as an eBook and that sold in the thousands online

  • I have now written around 20-books

  • I have at least 3-best sellers

  • I have a book that sells for £245 and has never once appeared on Amazon

  • I have been selling my books every day for decades

  • My niche website at www.salonpunk.com is over 20-years old and sells books on expertise.

  • My consulting website at www.OrangeBeetle.com has been advising businesses and writers like yourself since the late 90s.

  • My authors website at www.AlanForrestSmith.com is packed with original thoughts, writings, and philosophical ramblings. This site sells books and reveals my writing skills. Again this is a 20-year-old website.

  • I have my own publishing house.

  • Authors come to me for advice on how to sell their books

  • I am respected, well thought of by authors as a trusted advisor

As you can see I am more than an expert when it comes to writing and creating books.

Ask me anything you like before you take my course.

This is a writer’s course like no other. Why? Because no one can reveal the kind of expertise I am sharing with you from my unique experience and years of publishing and writing books.

Money-Back Guarantee

Let’s keep this simple. If you’re not happy just ask for a refund.

Finally …

There is something magical about having a book with your name on it. I can’t explain exactly what but it’s an amazing feeling. But a non-fiction expert book - that is another level when it comes to recognition, invites sales, and more.

This course will be initially limited to space due to the fact I will be taking questions via email.

The first email will acknowledge the order, the second email will arrive a little later on (we aim to send it out within an hour unless the order is overnight and out of usual working hours, in which case it will arrive the next morning) and it will contain the details how to log-in to your course.
