Did you ever think about writing a book and earn royalty from the book? Its very nice to see some people can earn thousands even million of dollars from books that they have written. If you want to write a book, what will be the tittle/topic? If you have written a book or books, promote them here, and share with me how many $ have you earn form the books?

Yes, you must "turn" the attention of the people to your book. Just good luck to the writers of books!

what tittle, is it about money? people love money, if you write something good about money then you can be a millionaire. see what happen to robert kiyosaki, millions of his books are sold. millions of money into his pocket. unfortunately, i did not make money from writing too..

Maybe you should write about the love, which is directly linked with the money. :)

I was working Macmillan - a leading publishing house located in UK. They used to get the books typeset in Bangalore, printed in Hong Kong to achieve economies of scale and cheap labour cost. I love books, but I hve not decided to write one. ACtually, one should write books for international agenices to get loyalty in a big way.

Through the years I have thought about writing many books. I have not written one of them. Does anyone else think about it but just don't do it?

Yeah, I have thought about that when I was at high school. But I know it would be hard. If I have a chance to write a book I will write about life. There are a lot things to learn from there. Thanks..

hi salam, i have alwys thought of writing a book and what could be more alluring than writing about self, about my life, about my hurts, pains, cries, smiles..my life has been full of stories and i have always wanted to share it with friends and ppl. so, dear, an autobigraphy would be a great idea, i thought. however, day's drudgery and complexities has other things in store. i got lost in my world of perpetual struggle and aches. . nevertheless, my inclination and eagerness never subside, i will make it someday. let's keep our fingers crossed. smiles... PS: what about you?

I have been told that I should write a book. However, my daughter has written and book and is currently published. However not released yet. Cannot tell you of any details yet, however, it will be cool once we can. Pending finalizing which I hope you send positive energies for we can then tell the world. Funny how these things work. She self published on Lulu.com Good luck to all of you that are writing. Tell me and I can always blog all about your books when they come out.

Good luck to your doughter. I have many ideas about books but cant do it now because I am very busy with my study. I wish sometime I can compile personal finance and investment tips (I share some of them in my blog) and make a small book.

Hello friend! I have just read j.k.rowling's biography on her website and it really inspired me to write my own book. I am fond of reading regency romance and detective/mystery novels, and so maybe if ever I get to write something it would be about a combination of the two. Then, if I am so much better, I wish I could write something they can compare to harry potter. Haha, that's just a wish.
