Congratulations, you've decided to write a book…that's great! A book can give you recognition and help you to attract more customers to your business. And if those are your only goals, then it would be important to write your book fast. 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:
Write at least 10 benefits (20 is best) that you give your clients. Then write out the top 7 ways that you will create those benefits (i.e. the tools, tips, and short-cuts 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 of the fastest products to create is a Teleseminar.
Just ask a friend or JV Partner to interview you and invite their list to listen. This is a real win-win, 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. Do the same thing for each Chapter and you'll have your book 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:
Use the 80-20 rule as a habit and work on the most important thing everyday. One hour a day would be wonderful but even 30 minutes would be great. Even, if you have a conflict and must do something else for that time of day...do something anyway for at least 10 minutes on your busy days. Don't focus on perfection, just take action. Write a first draft, find an editor or revise it yourself.
Change your plan of action and start creating a bestselling business to write your book. 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.
You can't start yesterday, and you shouldn't put it off until tomorrow . Get started right now with building a bestselling business around your book. By doing so, you will be quickly writing your bestselling book and creating a million dollar business at the same time. |
