Make Money by
Publishing a Book

The biggest reason most people give up on their dream of being an author is the difficulty of getting signed by publisher. If you try the big New York publisher route, the first step of finding an agent is not easy and it's extremely difficult to get the publisher to take a book and pay an advance.

On the other hand, there is a steep learning curve for dozens of technically difficult tasks in order to self-publish. The total cost for self-publishing has been in the range of $30,000 to $40,000.

Fortunately for the smart person who wants to write a book and use it to make money, there is a new alternative. There are three book publishing strategies that anyone can use to eliminate publishing problems and receive the best benefits of a big New York Publisher and of Self-Publishing.

Strategy 1 – Never give your copyrights away.

Being in control and making money from your book are the two biggest benefits to seek. You need to find a New York Publisher who doesn't buy the copyright to your book, but allows and encourages you to use the information in your book to create other products that fit in with the book.

Strategy 2 – Get the widest distribution possible for your book.

The biggest benefit of a New York Publisher is the wide distribution of your book. Proactively choosing a publisher with wide dissemination will give you the advantage of sustaining higher sales. This will exponentially increase your income, because each book sold in a bookstore will bring the reader back to your website, where you will sell them your other products.

Strategy 3 – Create a book marketing plan that turns your book into a business.

Having good marketing plan is another great benefit of choosing a big publisher, because they will force you to have one. But the smart authors today take it to a whole new level. You should start creating a bestselling book business as soon as your have your book idea, rather than waiting until it is ready to be printed. Months or even years before the book is published, you will already be making money. This can even bring in more money than you'd ever get from a publisher's advance. And your book will sell more copies when it is ready to be printed and shipped, because everything you create will be advertising your book.

ACTION POINT: You can get the advantages of both worlds if you use these 3 strategies to select the best publisher for your book. Through the whole process from book idea to New York Times Bestseller, you'll be making money. You'll be able to create a book that becomes an automatic bestseller and might even earn you a passive 6 or 7-figure income.
