Writing a book: is it worth it?
He kind of touches upon it, but there is a lot of value in being able to go into an interview and literally being able to say about a topic &quot;I wrote the book on it.&quot; It&#x27;s a tremendous signal to have overcome the hurdles of getting a publisher to accept you and print your book with your name on it.<p>I used to have several guys on my team that had published books- and they were great, and were constantly getting contacted about other jobs, and even to write other books.<p>They all said the actual book itself made them no money beyond their initial (small-hardly five figure) advance, and in terms of dollars per hour they probably would have been better off getting a fast food job, but it opened up a lot of doors and made them at least a little bit &quot;internet famous.&quot;
