It seems to me that the money to be made on an O'Reilly book would be in speaking/consulting/job hunting as someone who "wrote the book on X".

- rll 14y agoNot much money to be made on speaking. You are lucky to get your expenses covered. But sure, better consulting/job gigs could be an outcome from writing an O'Reilly book. Of course, if you took the year or more it took you to write that book and and put that time into paid consulting I am not sure you would ever catch up. As an O'Reilly author myself if you are looking at writing a book for the money you are doing it wrong.
