Frequently Asked Questions:

"What are the costs involved?

"Why do I have to pay or buy books to be published?"
Because this is a joint venture opportunity where we are sharing the cost of printing. Pro Publishing Company does all of the rest of the hard work for you... for free!

"Do I get any royalties?"
No. Royalties are not offered because it is a rip-off and a bad deal for you! Getting royalties is like stepping over dollars to pick up dimes. You get to keep 100% of the profits from all the books that you sell. Instead of earning mere cents on the dollar with a tiny royalty you get to make $17.45 or more for each book you sell. This is virtually unheard of in the publishing industry!

"Why should I pay you when I can just self publish of find a traditional publisher?"
When you self publish you have to learn it all, do it all and pay for it all. With us you are only paying for the printing, nothing else. If you want to go with traditional publishing then you get an agent, they shop your script. You might get an advance, probably won't. If you are not already famous then they don't want you. If they do, then your agent gets most of the money, not you.

"So how is Pro Publishing Company different?"
We are the transition between self publishing and traditional publishing. We have developed an amazing program bringing an effective alternative to individuals that want to publish a book that teaches publishing, publicity and marketing to authors, speakers, consultants, writers, and industry experts. We take you through the publishing process, teach book marketing and how to use the book as a lead generator. As the publisher we pay for all the costs of editing, book formatting and layout, book cover design professional marketing materials and tele-classes teaching you how to be successful with your books. The book retails for $24.95 and you can share in the profits getting $17.00 or more for every one of your copies sold.

"How do I make money with this book?"
There are 3 really good ways:

1) Retail your books and pocket $17 or more for each book you sell. This works super good for public speakers at live events where they can sell 25-100 at a time. Not big money, but a nice additional income stream.
2) Use your books as marketing tools for media leverage. Get massive exposure for free in magazines, newspaper and on TV. Exposure = Customers = Increased Sales
3) Use your books to impressive the right people for opening doors of opportunity that might not have been available to you before. Better Business Opportunities = Higher Ticket Sales.

"Tell me more about how how the team works."
Being in this book is like being on a softball team. Every team member must pull his/her own weight contributing their own unique skills and efforts to the benefit and victory of the entire team. What if one person wanted to join the team, wear the jersey, take advantage of what the team produces and be taking full credit for the team's victory but refused to participate or play in any of the games? What if only 5 out of 30 team members played? Do you think that would be a winning team? Of course not. There are no bench warmers allowed on Team POL! That is why the suggested minimum purchase for your first order is only 200 books. If you are unable or unwilling to purchase and distribute a mere 200 books for building your business then maybe this opportunity is not a good fit for you at this time.

"How do you teach authors to market and grow their business with a book?"
We teach you how to use your book as a door opener to get recognized in the media and get contacts with companies that you want to do business with. You can sell your book for $25 or you can use the book as an introduction tool and get a consulting contract with a company for $25,000. Which would you rather do? There are several ways that a book can benefit you all through your life. You keep the title of author all of your life. Think about giving someone a business card and how that card gets put away in a drawer or in the trash but where do you put a book? It goes on the book shelf. We have been told stories about people wanting a speaker and that had their book at their desk with the contact information handy and their hired the person in the book. Everyone is looking for a competitive edge or a way to set themselves apart in their industry. A Power of Leadership book sets you apart from your peers.

"What is the Power of Leadership series all about?"
The Power of Leadership is a planned 12 part series of books designed to take a reader from zero to proficient leader in twelve books. The creator of this series believes there is a severe lack of leadership skills prevalent in society and in the world today. It starts with government and trickles down to the family unit. This lack of quality leadership is the cause of most strife and unrest in the world today. As leaders are growing ever weaker in there leadership skills, the youth of today grow up to be weak in leadership skills themselves. This has an ever downward spiraling impact on the way government and business operates and how adults raise their children. Instead of complaining about the way things are, the creator of this series, Daniel Sweet, decided to do something about it. Thus the Power of Leadership series was born to educate and motivate people for rising up from where they are today and becoming stronger leaders in their role as parents, in their jobs and in their businesses for greater health, wealth and prosperity.

"How do I use my book to get free publicity?"
Your book can be used as a marketing tool for media leverage. It operates a concept called VCP™ - Visibility, Credibility and Profitability. This means when you have increased visibility in your market place then increased credibility soon follows. As you gain more credibility, that leads to more opportunity for profit to come your way. By being a published author you have reason to become more visible in the media and you gain instant credibility by your presence in newspapers, magazines, online, on the radio and on TV.

"How does writing a book apply to me and my business?"
Just about any business or service would benefit when its owner is a published author. Once people find out that you're a published author, it really changes their perception of you. The book gives you tremendous credibility which is a powerful secret to success and greater profitability. Being an author can be used to your advantage in so many different ways other than the obvious one of book sales. When you designate yourself in print as an expert, others will begin to regard you as such. You can use this prominent title to optimize your marketing efforts, position yourself to network with other experts in your field and parlay all that into more sales income.

"I don't own a business, I have a job. I don't need free publicity I need to make more money. How can this work for me?"
Here's an example: Joe Smith is a low level sales manager for a large national corporation. He wants advancement, and the pay raise that accompanies it but doesn't have the college education required or the work history experience. So, Joe decides to write a chapter in a book about leadership and his role as a sales manager. After it's published he gives a copy to his managers. They take notice, are impressed and up the corporate ladder he climbs. If you are looking for a new job, imagine how impressed the hiring agent will be when you are including your book along with your resume.

"Will the books be available in the bookstores?"
Yes, the books will be for sale in bookstores and other distribution avenues such as our own web site, the web sites of other authors, schools, libraries and even online bookstores like Amazon.com, and the bookstore power house, Barnes & Noble.

"Should I consult my mentor or business coach about joining the Author Team?"
Yes, a trusted advisor can be very helpful as long as they have had the kind of success with book marketing; publicity and publishing that you desire to have with your publishing experience. Beware of people who give you their opinions and feelings without real marketing success because what you need is solid wisdom from a successful author who knows the value of using the book as a lead generating tool for building a business and understands that the author is the asset and not the book.
