They've learned the formula for how to write a book, get it on the bestseller lists and for it to make a lot of money from them.

And it's not just 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 money from it.

If you figure out and put these factors into practice, you could receive an extra 6 to 7 figures from each book you write from now on.

Key Factor 1 - Turn your book into a business so that each book has desirable products to go with it.

A book is more than just paper and ink. It transfers your knowledge for people to use and enjoy via a traditional format. You will achieve more success when you realize that you can communicate the same information in other acceptable forms that sell just as well. When you're planning your book, proactively plan other products so that your book fits into your business in an intentional way. 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, add in all of the necessary ingredients and some of the desirable ones, and you'll find your book is easy to market, advertise, and sell.

There are a few ingredients that are absolutely necessary to creating a bestseller, and some of them must be designed in from the beginning. There are also some highly desirable features which help to expand the value and marketability of your book. For example, you must have a bar code and an ISBN number, 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 sell. Some features that all New York Times Bestsellers have in common are: relevant quotes, testimonials, resources listings, captivating stories that make a point, and an index.

Key Factor 3 - Be proactive and begin pre-selling your book while you are still writing and control pre-sales to the fullest extent possible so that you'll know where your books are going to be purchased and when.

You need to learn what it takes to make your book a bestseller. For example, not all sales of books help the book towards becoming a bestseller and it's crucial to know which ones do and don't. Keep the focus to only those that count and concentrate the sales during the best span of time. If you have done your homework and attracted the right sale quantities you'll have a guaranteed winner.

ACTION POINT: If you want to learn how to write a book that makes money and becomes a bestseller, then follow the formula that top authors use to successfully reach 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.
