March looks like it will be a calm month after the hectic first two months of 2011. No speeches or workshops scheduled, no teaching courses at two universities (FIU and MIT) and just the usual 2-3 foreign trips. This comparatively slow schedule will allow me to return to finishing my second book. The book is tentatively titled "Social Entrepreneurship: Lessons Learned at One Laptop per Child".
I really enjoy the writing process. Nothing sharpens the thinking on a subject like writing a book. The part of writing a book I do not like is dealing with publishers. They are not bad people but I am not usually interested in the details they want to discuss. After the cover design is finalized I do not much care.
For my second book I am thinking of self-publishing an e-book on Amazon and pricing it at $9.99. Then I am going to blog and tweet like crazy and expand my current book website. Interest in social entrepreneruship is growing and except for some books on Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank there is little written on large social enterprise ventures.
So respected readers, what do you think of this strategy for my second book. Tell me in the comments or on FB.
