You decided to write a book. Congratulations, 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.
The quick and easy way to attract more recognition and clients is "slowing down and taking the time to create a bestselling business around your book", says book business expert DrProactive Randy Gilbert. He says that you will be rewarded with a better book, more money, and a continuing stream of income far in excessive of what you would have otherwise made with just a book.
It can make you a bestselling author, and a millionaire at the same time, which is why DrProactive named "bestselling business". He recommends using the following 3 steps to create an information business around 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 that help solve their problems in your area of expertise). Congratulations, you have the Table of Contents for your book.
Step 2:
Create information products from your expert knowledge that will be going into your book. One quick and easy info product is a Teleseminar.
Ask someone with an e-mail list (friend or JV partner) to interview you over the phone and invite their followers to listen. This is good for you and them, because they get good free content to give to their list, and you get a sound file that can be transcribed as part of your book. A 60 minute interview could become 30 to 40 pages of a 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. Each of these options will help you to Pre-Sell your books before they are published. By pre-selling your book you can often sell enough copies so that you become a bestselling author when your book is published. You'll get more clients and recognition by achieving bestseller status than you would by just being an author.
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. Just take action. Don't worry about getting things perfect. Write a first draft, find an editor or revise it yourself.
Rearrange your priorities and start writing your book today by creating a bestselling business. In 90 to 180 days, you will have the first draft of a great if you follow these steps, and 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. By doing so, you will be quickly writing your bestselling book and creating a million dollar business at the same time. |
