Start by carefully studying the impact of these books on the businesses of those entrepreneurs who have had their books ghostwritten for them. Try and get as specific information as possible. For example if sales increased by 40 per cent within a few weeks of the book being released, then that is the sort of specific information that is very believable and will have an impact.

You may be wondering where you can get this kind of information, but you should remember that the Internet is an amazing tool for research.
