Make Money With Writing Books on Spirituality and Self Help: 10 Great
Reasons To Become An Author
By: Arielle Ford

It was the first time I overheard someone whisper "she's the author",
as I walked into a book signing, that I suddenly realized that I had
achieved something very special. Not only had I managed to get my book
published, I now received respect and admiration from total strangers.
Being an author even it today's digitized world, is still an
awe-inspiring accomplishment.

In 2005 USA TODAY reported eighty-two percent of Americans say they
plan to write a book someday. I think the critical word here is
'plan'. If you want to be someone who really does write a book, you
can begin right now by understanding how being an author will improve
your life.

Here is my top ten list why you should become an author today,
especially if you are a spirituality, self help or personal growth expert:


1. Authors are recognized as experts by virtue of having a book
with their name on the cover

2. The media loves authors (i.e. experts) and uses them often, on
all levels

3. Being an author improves your chances of getting paid speaking
engagements

4. While you may not become a millionaire from writing a book, you
can certainly improve your chances of increasing your income

5. When you go to your high school reunion, you can finally shove
your book under the noses of all who snubbed you in your teenage years

6. If you ever felt that you weren't 'smart enough', writing a book
will certainly go a long way in curing that.

7. Being an author gives you a stronger sense of self-esteem

8. Your book will open doors and create business opportunities you
wouldn't have received without it

9. Having a book gives you a platform for teaching workshops and
seminars

10. Being an author is a great icebreaker at cocktail parties.
(Hint: authors are often considered VIPs or celebrities! It's true!)



When I started writing my first book, it wasn't because I was sure I
wanted Bill O'Reilly's producer to have my name in his Rolodex to call
whenever he needed a 'mystical' New Age expert. (In fact I'm not sure
I've ever wanted that at all!) I didn't devote hundreds of hours to
stories of couples finding one another through magical, mystical ways
just to impress strangers at a cocktail party. And I can definitely
tell you I didn't write six books just to tell my old high school
classmates about it.

I wrote because I had to. I had a story inside of me that wouldn't
rest until I put it onto the page. The benefits of actually finishing
the book and becoming a bona fide author and the other "reasons" were
simply an afterthought.

I can do everything short of putting a cattle prod under you to get
you started on writing your self help book, but, at the end of the
day, writing has to be something you want to do. Sure, it's hard to
sit down day after day and stare at a blank computer screen. I know
how hard it is to tell your mom or your husband that you only typed
two pages in an entire day. I can tell you hundreds of great things
about being an author, but not a single one will really get you to the
finish line.

What will get you down the home stretch is the satisfaction of knowing
that you're being true to yourself. You dreamt of becoming an author
because you had to. You envisioned title ideas and chapter outlines
because they came to you and wouldn't go away. You told your friends
you wanted to write a book because you could and you will.

You are an author, and you always have been. All you need to do now is
make it happen. It might not be scintillating cocktail banter that
puts a finished manuscript in your hands, but keeping your eyes on the
prize can't hurt.
