You decided to write a book. Congratulations, that's great! Being an author can gain you recognition and help your business attract more clients 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". He says that you will be rewarded with a better book, more money, and a passive 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:
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 tips, strategies, 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 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. 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. 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 enough books pre-sold to make be a bestseller as soon as it's published, as well as passive income to help put your business in the black.
There is no time like the present. 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. |
