Top Ten Ways to Write a Book That Sells Judy Cullins c. 2004 All Rights Reserved.Is there a book inside of you? Yes? Then why don't you write it? Or, if you've already written a book, wouldn't you like to sell more? So many of you have a great idea for a book, even a dynamite title, but much more is needed to write a book that sells. Here's
top ten ways to write a book that sells:
1.Write what's interesting to you and what will still interest you in two plus years. You can maintain all of parts to writing a book much better if you know a little and want to know more about your subject.
2.Have passion about your topic. If your book is an extension of you, you'll be more willing to do work involved. You'll need sustained passion to develop talks, seminars, articles or consulting services. Passion helps you be a titillating radio or teleclass guest.
3.Prepare for each chapter before you write. Have a format plan that includes headlines throughout to organize your chapter so well; your reader can't put it down. To avoid a thin chapter list questions and facts that relate only to one chapter and thesis you work on at a time. You will then answer these questions, thus fulfilling your need to benefit your audience. These techniques make it easy for your reader to understand.
4.Commit to a regular writing schedule. Lackadaisical or non-focused efforts fail. A book doesn't finish itself. A page a day equals a book a year. Think about your circumstances. Just how much time can you put into this effort with all of your other priorities? Take a minute and decide to let go of something not as compelling for moment. Dong it all at once dilutes your efforts.
