Attorney John Fisher Gains Multi-Million-Dollar Case From Book
"Just within a matter of months within printing this book, it resulted in a multi-million-dollar case with a very substantial legal fee. When people ask me what is the return on investment of a book, for me, that ROI was hundreds of thousands of dollars within just a few months within printing the book. This book has been invaluable. It is the number one thing that I’ve ever done with my practice and I would not publish another book with anyone other than Advantage because they not only make a fantastic looking book but also they do all of the marketing, promotion, audiobook and everything else that no one knows how to do."

Matt Burk Wrote Book That Is Still Bringing In New Clients Years Later
“Don’t wait. Do it sooner rather than later. There is nothing more powerful than being able to drop off a book and hand that to your prospects. Advantage really makes the process easy, even for people who don’t like to write. In my mind, being able to persuade people with the written word when you are doing marketing that is based on educating the people you are talking with and doing it in a book format, I don’t know of any better way to establish credibility with your marketplace than writing a book.” Read More

Why Cathy Hung Picked Hybrid Publishing Over Traditional Publishing
"I was beginning the plan to write a book about cultural competency for healthcare professionals. As you know, professionals are busy, so traditional publishing was not really an option for me. I did not want to wait one to two years before I had my book. I was introduced to the concept of hybrid publishing. I went to Charleston for the Authority Marketing Blueprint Day, where I talked with the team, not just about my book, but they created a whole business and marketing plan for me. Now that the book is published and available, the American Dental Association publishing department wants to purchase my books and feature under the ADA website/e-catalog for members. This is huge as the exposure will be tremendous. They like my book and feel that it is a very important topic." Read More

Vincent Battaglia Uses His Book To Lobby In Washington, DC
"Having this book, it’s created a confidence in me that I am the expert in this evolving industry. It has garnered me more interviews and more platforms in which to get the renewable message that Renova has at its core and in my purpose to a much, much broader audience. This is my calling card. This has then influenced the business by bringing more attention, meaning more business. There has absolutely been an uptick in our business, meaning its installation in solar batteries since my publication of the book. We are about a $42-million-a-year in revenue company, making us one of the largest of the 11,000 solar companies in the United States. We’re in the top 50. I can honestly say that without the help of Cut The Cord and the great people at Advantage that Renova would not be in the pull position that it is in." Read More

Buddy Teaster Gains New Partners For His Non-Profit By Giving Them His Book
"In fact, recently, a big, multi-national company that we were working with in Asia, really couldn’t find the key to unlock the door. I gave the CEO a copy of my book, he read the book, came back after the weekend and said, ‘We’re going to do this.’ In ways that have gone far beyond our expectations. The process and having the physical book in our hands that we can give to people has changed the way that we tell our story and how people see us. The ROI is really easy for us to identify. It’s something that we value far beyond what shows up on an income statement. We would recommend it to anybody." Read More

"Life after the book gets you into the position of understanding all of the little steps that are required to deliver your content in a very concise and neat package.

For that, I’m a huge advocate for the folks over at ForbesBooks and Advantage. If you are considering it, this will elevate you in your profession, it will make you the expert in your field. If you are considering it, stop and just do it." Read More
