You decided to write a book. Congratulations, that's great! A book can give you recognition and help you to draw more clients to your business. 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.
The quick and easy way to attract more recognition and clients is "slowing down and taking the time to create a bestselling business around your book", says book business expert DrProactive Randy Gilbert. DrProactive says you will end up with a more money, a better book, 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:
Write at least 10 benefits (20 is best) that you give your clients. Next write down 7 methods to make those benefits happen (i.e. the tools, tips, and short-cuts that help solve their problems in your area of expertise). 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 quick and easy info product is a Teleseminar.
Just ask a friend or JV Partner to interview you and invite their list 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 one hour phone interview could become an entire chapter of your 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. Before your book is published, these info products can help generate lots of pre-sales for your book. 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 even 30 minutes would be great. Even on your busiest days, try to do at least 10 minutes at some point. Just take action. Don't worry about getting things perfect. Get a first draft done. Then revise it as you have time, or send it to an editor to do that for you.
Rearrange your priorities and start writing your book today by creating a bestselling business. Follow the guidelines above and in 90 to 180 days (or less) you will not only have the first draft of a great book written, you'll have a nice passive income and enough copies sold to become a bestseller as soon as it's published.
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. |
