Why a Book?
In today's digital world, standing out is no longer just an option; it's a necessity for survival.
It’s no secret expert recognition provides a strong advantage for getting the upper hand on the competition.
Let’s face it, most people know how to use Google to find real estate agents, chiropractor, accountant, or attorney…. But the fact is, most have no idea how to pick the right person to work with.
One thing they do know…they want to work with an “Expert.”
When prospects see you as the “Expert,” it makes it easy for them to choose you over the competition.
To truly differentiate yourself, you need to establish yourself as an expert. And what better way to do so than by becoming a published author? A book is not just a marketing tool; it's a statement of your expertise and authority.
The Main Street Author Difference
It's NOT About Creating A Book To Sell…
It’s About Creating A Book That SELLS YOU!
A Main Street Author Short Book isn't just pages with words; it's your stamp of authority, your badge of expertise. The moment you have a book to your name, you're not just another face in the crowd; you're THE FACE of the solution that your prospects desperately want and need.
We've revolutionized the book creation process. Our unique system turns your expertise into a tangible asset that not only showcases your knowledge but also significantly boosts your authority and client acquisition efforts. Our approach simplifies the process, making it accessible to everyone...
Even if you're not a writer!
Elevate Your Expert Authority, Increase Your Impact,
and Build Your Legacy with a Short, Helpful Book
Our short helpful books are very intentional—in the way they look, in their singular focus, how the helpful content is choreographed, and in their ultimate goal—to get readers to take action and become your customer, client, patient, member, or student.
Main Street Author books are faster to create, easier to read, and designed according to a proven direct response marketing formula. This is a powerful differentiator from all the other types of books out there because direct response books are focused on getting readers to respond (not just read and put on their bookshelf).
A Main Street Author Book Is...
The Ultimate Business Card
Having your own book has proven to be one of the most powerful tools for creating Instant Credibility and Trust ... it positions you as the Expert in the minds of your prospects!
A Main Street Author book is indeed the Ultimate Business Card... but unlike regular business cards that generally get thrown away...
... a book has a high perceived value... prospects actually appreciate the gift... so they don't end up in the trash…
...and even better.. they get passed on to others.
A Main Street Author Book Is...
The Ultimate Referral Tool
When prospects and customers… sell you to other prospects and customers… it’s simply the most powerful promotion of all...
Providing valuable and easy-to-understand information in a book… makes it easy for people to share my message with others.
It’s just human nature… when people know the person who wrote the book… they will tell everyone they know who is dealing with the problem that your book solves…
Word-of-mouth advertising just can’t be replaced… and a book enables word of mouth better than just about any other marketing.

THE MAIN STREET AUTHOR PROGRAM
Main Street Author books elevates business owners, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders by publishing impactful, short, helpful books their targeted readers appreciate in as little as eight weeks with a proven, step-by-step system...
Here's How It Works
Step 1: Plan
We kick off with a 60-minute strategy session, designed to pinpoint the perfect topic for your book. Here, we'll dive into a conversation about you, your business, the customers you serve, and the solutions you provide. Our Main Street Author team then takes this wealth of information to develop a solid framework and comprehensive outline, complete with targeted questions to generate the rich content your book deserves.
Step 2: Capture
With the outline set, we’ll capture the essence of your expertise through a recorded Q&A session. As you comfortably address each question and topic from the outline, we ensure the process feels like a natural conversation, empowering you to educate and advocate for your customers' success—no stress, just your insights flowing freely.
Step 3: Create
This is where the transformative power of Main Street Author comes into play. We take the rich content from our recorded conversation and let our team weave it into a draft that's not just words on a page but a narrative infused with your voice and style—a true reflection of your expertise.
Step 4: Revise
The revision phase invites you into a collaborative review process, offering you the opportunity to refine and polish your manuscript. This critical step ensures every aspect of your book, from the flow of ideas to the precision of language, meets your standards and authentically represents your voice.
Step 5: Design
Our design phase is where your book comes to life visually. Professional designers tailor the book’s cover and formats the content into our specifically designed layout to encapsulate your brand’s essence and message, ensuring that the book’s exterior is as impactful as its content. This visual identity plays a leading role in attracting prospects and reinforcing your authority.
Step 6: Review & Approve
You'll receive a digital proof of your book—both the content and cover. This is the moment where you see all the components come together. Your approval is paramount; we move forward only when you are completely satisfied with every element.

WHO RELIES ON US AS THEIR BOOK PUBLISHING PARTNER?
Savvy professional service providers, including lawyers, insurance agents, tax professionals, and financial advisors
WHY?
Because these types of business owners offer complicated, in-depth solutions to a variety of issues, and they need to streamline their message into a concise, easy-to-understand format, like a short, helpful book.
Instead of getting bogged down in heavy details, these business owners need to convey authority and trust in meaningful ways. The Main Street Author publishing system does exactly this by offering just the right balance of information, guidance, and next-step directions.
Forward-thinking healthcare professionals, including dentists, physicians, chiropractors, and therapists
WHY?
Because there is nothing like combining impressive academic credentials, established experience, and the power of being a book author to create exciting new opportunities for you and your patients.
Navigating their own author journey, these types of business owners can often get bogged down in the scientific minutiae that confuse readers. Main Street Authors rely on our educational marketing formula of presenting the “bigger picture” to keep their books focused on their prospects.
Innovative high-ticket or luxury product/service providers, including retailers, and real estate professionals
WHY?
Because high-end/luxury-oriented consumers expect their product and service providers to be different, unique, and known as expert authorities.
The more affluent your clientele, the more critical it is for you to correctly position yourself and your offerings and be the author of the type of book that immediately raises your status and celebrity and creates a powerful, magnetic effect that draws these affluent clients towards you.
Coaches and consultants determined to stand out, be different, and be recognized as a valued subject matter expert
WHY?
Because the business world is full of coaches and consultants who have little to show why anybody should do business with them and why their vision, methodologies and systems matter.
When we work with coaches and consultants, we spend time helping them uncover what truly makes them special and their unique gifts to be able to help others. Crafting this as the foundation of a Main Street Author Book is one of the most powerful things any coach/consultant can do.
Time-strapped corporate executives and leaders who have an important message to share with their team or the world
WHY?
Because corporate executives and leaders do not have the luxury of blindly wasting their time and energy on writing the wrong book.
These leaders and executives rely on our skills to make sure we have the ideal book plan so they can rely on our team to take their vision, thoughts, and ideas come to life with the perfect Main Street Author book.
Online business owners committed to skyrocketing the visibility of their software, services, and brands
WHY?
Because online business owners and entrepreneurs must be able to act and react at the speed of the Internet.
Rather than laboring for months, or even years, to publish a book, these smart men and women appreciate what a short, helpful book can do for their brand-boosting awareness, helpful content, and promotional opportunities they can build around their books.
IS MAIN STREET AUTHOR THE PUBLISHER FOR YOU?
Maybe...
The Main Street Author program is not right for everyone. We typically work with marketing-oriented business owners, entrepreneurs, and corporate leaders who see the value of publishing a short, helpful book grounded in solid, direct-response marketing principles.
We are NOT for the person who is looking to make money from book sales and royalties. Instead, we work with men and women who want to connect book readers to their "back-end" products and services.
They all have one thing in common—a belief in the power and positioning of being the author of a real, printed book, and the ability to increase the sophistication of their marketing with a book-centric marketing strategy.
If this sounds like you, then we invite you to schedule a no-obligation, fact-finding meeting with Mike Capuzzi, Co-Founder of Main Street Author.
There is no obligation on your part until you have decided to become a client. I look forward to hearing from you, and more importantly, working together to design one of the most powerful and effective marketing assets you can create for your business.
