You decided to write a book. Congratulations, that's great! A book can give you recognition and help you to draw more customers to your business. And if those are your only goals, then the faster you write your book, the better. 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 continuing stream of 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". 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.
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. Repeat the process for each chapter in your Table of Contents, and your book will be done in no time.
There are at least six other optional products that will help you write your book and make money at the same time. 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 at least half an hour would be great. Even on your busiest days, try to do at least 10 minutes at some point. Don't focus on perfection, just take action. Get a first draft done. Then revise it as you have time, or send it to an editor to do that for you.
Change your plan of action and start creating a bestselling business to write your book. 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.
You can't start yesterday, and you shouldn't put it off until tomorrow
