Moving beyond the "rejection" phase
Few new authors -- and especially those with books for which there is limited or untested market potential, or only a niche audience -- will be able to get a contract from a conventional publishing house. Conventional publishers have little capital to risk on an unproven venture. Some publishers reject thousands of proposals for every manuscript they do accept. Clearly this isn't a solution for most aspiring authors.
Looking for a better way
Until recently, the determined author was faced with only a few unsatisfactory options:
* do-it-yourself (imagine the complications of ISBNs, copyright, legal deposits, barcodes, editing, layout, designing a cover, tendering the printing, paying for a press run, arranging warehousing, setting up accounts with wholesalers and retailers, notifying the book trade, creating a website, securing merchant credit card accounts, receiving a trickle of orders, packaging and postage, invoicing, collecting accounts, etc., etc.) Whew!
* use a "vanity publisher" and pay $10,000 to $20,000 or more, or...
* give up.
"Success comes easy if techniques given in the book are practiced in a proper way. For that, one has to understand the philosophy of life and its co-relation with personality development.

First, write a few reviews just for the benefit of your friends.Evaluate current stock market trends, appraise IPOs etc. Try your hands at various genres of financial writing. You can
write from small investors' point of view or Institutional Investors' point of view. You can also decipher the emerging market trends from the point of view of the Trade Bodies such as FICCI, ASSOCHAM etc. Exercises of this type force you to develop an overview of things and will stand you in good stead. Another potential area for you to try out is the scope for foreign Direct Investment in Indian Industry and Commerce.
After a period of three to four months on this practice writing mission, send a query letter to a few Editors of financial or trade Journals , offering to write for them. Enclose specimens of one or two types of articles.
Try your hand at Financial Jokes and Cartoons also. You never know. There meay be golden Nuggets hidden there!

1. Complete your book
2. Make a neat copy
3. Take it to a publisher's office (Preferably not very big nor very small publisher).
A big publisher would be difficult to approach.
A small publisher may not get you any revenue.
