It is estimated that only 5% of authors become a bestseller.

They've learned the secret for how to write a book, publish it, make it a bestseller and earn lots of money.

And it isn't just a lucky strike, because some are able to do it consistently.

There are many success factors to writing a good 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 learn and use these factors, you could get an extra 6 to 7 figures of income from each book you write in the future.

Key Factor 1 - Design a business around each book so that you are creating great products that go with the book.

Your book is more than a lot of paper and ink. Your book communicates your knowledge in a familiar format that others can enjoy and use. You'll have a far greater level of success when you realize that you can communicate the same knowledge in other forms that sell just as well. When you're thinking about your next 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 everything sells the book and the book sells everything.

Key Factor 2 – When writing your book, add in all of the necessary components and some of the desirable ones, and you'll find your book is easy to market, advertise, and sell.

There are a few ingredients which cannot be ignored when creating a bestseller, and some of them must be designed in from the start. There are also some very enticing features which increase the marketability and value of your book. For instance, you must have an ISBN number and a bar code, plus certain bindings and features so that bookstores can sell your book for you. There are also about 10 features that make your book much easier to market. Having captivating stories that make a point, relevant quotes, testimonials, resources listings, and an index are some of the top features of every New York Times Bestseller.

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

If you want to make your book a bestseller, then you should learn what it takes to do so. For example, not all book sales help the book towards bestselling status and it's vital to know which ones don't. Keep the focus to only those that matter and compress the sales during an appropriate time period and if you have done your homework and attracted the right sale quantities 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 follow the formula that the top 1% use to successfully achieve that goal. Choose to use the Key Factors outlined above and keep your eye on the ball, and you'll hit a home run every time.
