3 Value Bombs

1) Writing a book doesn’t have to be a tedious task anymore — all you need is a voice, a message, and an idea to get started.

2) Books don’t only drive a ton of high-quality leads, they also increase a person’s credibility and conversions.

3) The real value of a book doesn’t come from the revenue it generates, it’s the leads that it drives to you.
