In the over 20 years, Sarah and I have been working together, we have produced 17 books, including the first commercially published book about how to work from home, "Working From Home." We have converted most of our into eBooks (www.ElmStreetLibrary.com). We believe work at home is a key component of an Elm Street Economy (www.ElmStreeteconomy.com.
Over the years, we have also developed other types of products from our books, such as audio and video products, self-help kits, workshops, and charts. In fact, one factor in deciding whether to write on a topic is our estimate of whether it will have “legs.” That is, books can be the basis for a variety of products that will produce additional income.
Now as the publishing industry morphs into the digital world, authors and owners of other forms of intellectual property need new income streams. We have assembled experts to help strategize and guide people to “productize” their work into new arenas. Our new blog for this service is www.9Lives4YourBook.com. |
