Congratulations, you've decided to write a book…that's great! A book can give you recognition and help you to draw more customers to your business. If those are your only reasons, then the faster you write your book, the better. However, if you are just focusing on having a book fast, you might miss one of the best reasons for having a book...and that is to make money.
Getting recognition and attracting more clients can actually be achieved quicker and easier says book business expert DrProactive Randy Gilbert, if you "slow down and take some time to create a bestselling business around your book". DrProactive says you will end up with a more money, a better book, and a passive income that far exceeds what the book alone would have earned.
It can make you a bestselling author, and a millionaire at the same time, which is why DrProactive named "bestselling business". You can use these three steps to create an information business centered on your book.
Step 1:
Make a list of the top 10 benefits (20 is better) you can provide for your clients. Next write down 7 methods to make those benefits happen (i.e. the strategies, guides, and tactics from your own expertise that can help solve their problems). These will become your Table of Contents and are now your guide to writing your book's content.
Step 2:
Use the same expert knowledge that will be going into your book to create other information products. One quick and easy info product is a Teleseminar.
Just ask a friend or JV Partner to interview you and invite their list to listen. This is good for you and them, because they will be exposing their followers to some great content, and you will have a recording that can be transcribed and turned into a part of your book. A one hour phone interview could become an entire chapter of your book. Repeat the process for each chapter in your Table of Contents, and your book will be done in no time.
Besides helping your create your book, there are at least six more possible information products that will help you make money during the writing process. Before your book is published, these info products can help generate lots of pre-sales for your book. You can become an automatic bestselling author if you use these strategies to get enough pre-sales. Being a bestselling author is far better recognition and it usually helps to get more clients too.
Step 3:
Do one proactive thing a day using the 80-20 rule as a guide to what will have the most impact. Sixty minutes would be awesome but even 30 minutes would be great. Even on your busiest days, try to do at least 10 minutes at some point. Don't focus on perfection, just take action. Get a first draft done. Then revise it as you have time, or send it to an editor to do that for you.
Rearrange your priorities and start writing your book today by creating a bestselling business. Follow the guidelines above and in 90 to 180 days (or less) you will not only have the first draft of a great book written, you'll have a nice passive income and enough copies sold to become a bestseller as soon as it's published.
There is no time like the present. Take your book idea and start building a bestselling business around it today. You'll get a bestselling book and a million dollar business the quick and easy way. |
