It isn't purely luck, because some are able to do it repeatedly.
There are many factors to writing a successful book, but I would like to focus on the three most important factors to successfully writing a bestseller and making a good profit.
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 - Create a business from each book so that you are creating great products that accompany each book.
A book is more than just paper and ink. Your book communicates your knowledge in a familiar format that others can enjoy and use. You will achieve more success when you realize that you can communicate that same knowledge in other ways that sell just as effectively. When you're thinking about your book, proactively plan out other products so that your book is an intentional part of your business. Not only will you have an additional income stream, but also a very effective marketing system, because the book sells everything and everything sells the book.
Key Factor 2 – As your write the book, stick in all of the necessary ingredients and some of the enticing ones, and you'll find your book is much easier to market, advertise, and sell.
There are several components that are necessary to creating a bestseller, and some of them must be designed in from the beginning. There are also some very desirable features which help to increase the value and marketability of your book. For example, 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 market. Having resources listings, captivating stories that make a point, relevant quotes, testimonials and an index are some of the top features of every New York Times Bestseller.
Key Factor 3 - Be proactive and begin your book pre-sales while you are still writing and control pre-sales to the fullest extent possible so that your books will be purchased in the way and time that will do you the most good.
If you want to make your book a bestseller, then you should learn what it takes to do so. For instance, not all book sales help the book towards becoming a bestseller and it's vital to know which ones do and don't. Keep the focus to only those that matter and concentrate the sales during the best time period and if you have studied 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 the top 1% use to successfully achieve that goal. Make a decision to use the Key Factors outlined above and keep your eye on the ball, and you'll hit a home run every time.
