Book Authorship sebagai Authority Anchor
Menulis buku adalah authority signal kuat yang tidak bisa di-fake. Strategi publish untuk B2B founder, termasuk Google Play Books dan traditional publishing.
Buku yang published membawa kredensial yang blog post tidak bisa replicate. Author bio 'buku seller' = instant authority. Untuk B2B founder, buku adalah investasi 6-18 bulan yang payoff 5-10 tahun.
