11. Set up your PayPal account so you can receive royalties from anywhere in the world, and
12. If it's a book on business (in the widest sense possible) have it published through O-Books who have people on the road in USA, UK, Europe and Australia, getting books into bookstores in those countries.

Contact me for prices, ideas and any other questions you may have at the contact page of The Write Site website.
