It is estimated that only 5% of authors become a bestseller.
What's worse is that only one in a hundred authors actually earn a living by writing . In fact most authors find it very difficult to get back what they've invested.
What does the 1% do differently? Even more important, can you become one of the few?
They've learned the secret for how to write a book, make it a bestseller and earn lots of money.
It isn't purely luck, because some are able to do it repeatedly.
There are many success factors to writing a good book, but I would like to focus on the three key success factors to writing a bestseller and making a lot of money from it.
If you figure out and put these factors into practice, you could add an additional 6 or 7-figures from each book you write from now on.
Key Factor 1 - Turn your book into a business so that you are creating great products to accompany the book.
Your book is more than a lot of paper and ink. It transfers your knowledge for people to use and enjoy via a traditional format. You'll have a far greater level of success when you realize that you can transfer the same knowledge in other ways that sell just as effectively. When you're thinking about your next book, proactively plan your other products and services so that your book fits into your business in an intentional way. Not only will you have a very additional system of marketing, but also extra income streams, because everything sells the book and the book sells everything.
Key Factor 2 – When writing your book, stick in all of the essential components and some of the desirable ones, and you'll find your book is easy to market, promote, and sell.
There are a few components that are essential to creating a bestseller, and some of them must be designed in from the beginning. There are also some very enticing features which help to increase the marketability and value of your book. For instance, you must have an ISBN number and a bar code, plus certain bindings and features so that retail stores can sell your book for you. There are also about 10 features that make your book much easier to promote and are therefore very desirable. Having relevant quotes, testimonials, resources listings, captivating stories that make a point, and an index are some of the top features of every New York Times Bestseller.
Key Factor 3 - Proactively begin selling your book while writing your book and guide pre-sales to as much possible so that you'll know where your books are going to be purchased and when.
If you want to make your book a bestseller, then you should learn what it takes to do so. For example, not all book sales count toward becoming a bestseller and it's extremely important to know which ones do. Keep your attention to only those that count and compress the sales during the best time span. If you have learned what you need to and created the right sales volume you'll have a guaranteed winner.
ACTION POINT: If you want to know how to write a book that makes money and becomes a bestseller, then you must use the secret recipe that others use to successfully reach that goal. Choose to use the Key Factors outlined above and keep your eye on the ball, and you'll hit a home run every time.
