Internet Marketing – Will a physical book help your career?

Publishing physical books
I am lucky in that I had more than 200
industry reports published before
I left the UK.
The finished copies filled a corner
of my ‘magic room’ and I was proud
of them (though my wife, Lady Lena,
did not fully share my enthusiasm).
About twice a year, various IM gurus,
mostly in the US, publish their thoughts
and experience in physical books, give
away them free, though you have to
pay postage ($15 outside the US). 
My good friend, Robert McGee
(who has 13 doctorates!)
has published some best-selling novels,
though available on Kindle.
If this appeals to you, but you lack
experience, there is at least one
US company that will guide you
through the process, with promises
to successfully promote your book,
for about $2,000.
I have not used them, so you need to
shop around and read the reviews.
Realistically, you will need about
three months to complete writing
and editing, plus more time for
printing, marketing and distribution.
Then, you can give everybody a copy.
This is good for the ego, but not very
profitable.
Depending on the topic for your book,
their is a risk that it will become out of
date.
Publishing my IFRS books (online)
requires me to publish a new edition
every year to ensure
credibility and value to readers.
Most of my academic colleagues publish
just one book, in physical form.
It takes 3-5 years to write and they
give copies to all visitors.
They are glad they completed it, but
will never update it, nor publish
another one.
(Some do have to repeat the process
to meet university requirements.)
Alternative Approaches
I publish my IFRS books online,
earlier with Bankir.ru, now on my
www.profmoscow.site
I can make updates any time I want.
People download them in more than 120
countries.These books are FREE,
but it has taught me how to
market books that I wish to sell.
I do like physical books and continue
to buy them. However, if I want to buy
US guru’s book, I will wait to buy the
Ebook, which will be
cheaper than the international postage.
