Before asking how to write a book, be sure to check your vision
If you're wondering how to write a book, there are other issues I want to ask before, and here's why.
Because …
Several studies in recent years have shown that 80-83% of Americans I want to write a book. Among those who do, it's a tough market. Author's sleep is often broken due to several factors, I will share with you shortly.
It is not necessary to deter, because you always see the best-sellers and other books that do their job. What makes a successful book? I have studied thousands of books, both successfully and success is not, and I trained for many years authors. Because of this, I have a lot of views I will share with you shortly.
But first I have give you a reality check. Want to go to any company, with eyes wide open. So here we go.
The bad news
If you want writing fiction or documentary (or both), there are many "bad news." I do not share the gloom and doom, but actually need to know about these factors. And do not worry, I will show you how to overcome before this article was completed.
– The tremendous progress the charges are a thing of the past. Back to "Thirty glorious years", the author could be "wined and dined" in a flash tour after receiving a 6 – figure advance – or 7. Those days are gone. Oh, of course, from time to time you hear someone great progress, but it is rare and is usually reserved for politics, celebrity and scandal.
– More than 1.2 million pounds released every year. So to draw attention is no small thing. Many writers to imagine the world to discover and famous. We live in a attention economy. "
"Getting people's attention is perhaps the hardest thing a writer can do … unless that there are certain factors in place.
– An author must have a "platform" – meaning a continuation. I met many authors who have no presence on or off line, except the list of his book with the self-editor and perhaps the Amazon. And they wonder why nobody buys the book.
– Being an author of books is not warranty sales. Too many people assume that easily sell many of his books just because his own publishing company gives you a page on a website. Not at all. 98% of the books can not sell 100 copies.
– If you are going to write a book, or you need to know about marketing or lease. The books do not sell. The findings occur, but hope is not a marketing strategy.
Let me share a story with you to help you understand how it works ..
You are about to meet almost a woman I'll call Charlie. What I will share is a story of pain that does not have to be an unfortunate end. If this woman comes to me from the beginning, I could have saved his dream and its message.
I vividly remember Charlie. It felt called to share a personal story, not only with his family, but also with strangers, in a book. I gave a lot of credit to be willing to share the story of her dead baby in a car accident the day who discovered she was pregnant. She had found the power in their pain.
In the event, Charlie has always had a small group of people around only by the power of his presence. When she spoke, people listened. He had charisma and magnetism. I imagined that appear on national television and speak to a wider audience.
When I met her she was starting to write, and she had not thought of anything beyond his book.
Unfortunately she did not think on how this book was developed in a company or a message that could become a course of home study, workshops, training, lectures, etc. Everyone has many options with your book, but it is necessary for strategic planning. Before writing, you need clarity about what the next step will be the player with you after closing the book.
A few months later I met Charlie again. She said her book was published, but did not seem very enthusiastic. I looked your name Google, and you know Why? There was an announcement of the book to his publisher's page and the other in a place where e-book published for sale. That's right.
I asked what had another addition to the book and she looked at me blankly. Then asked how the sale of books. I could feel the energy of the fly as when a balloon is inflated and let go.
Oh, if she had been trained! Someone with a powerful message should not be left with a pile of boxes of books in his basement and a dream broken. His story might have had a happy ending … an end which is really the beginning of a new life as a messenger writer.
Where did Charlie go wrong?
A huge element missing was how the book fit into your vision for your life and business. She said she wanted to speak and do workshops, but I think you should do the book to lift heavy for her, as if the impression of a magic book to create opportunities for herself.
You might think that the desire to talk to your vision. It's like seeing the world through cataracts. You can see some light, but everything is clear. This is not sufficiently clear. She had not set any type of business structure or measures of how discourses that an unknown author without content. She also had no public free online presence, no media plan and do not know how to get attention. It's like a drop of water trying to draw attention to someone in a tsunami.
Yes, an author who is to lift the VIP instant, but you still need work. I do not speak even today's marketing. Before you even ask how to write a book, let alone how to market one, make sure you have something else instead of the entire book and a wish.
Want to know who should read your book and why. You need to know where find the perfect customers, and certainly make sure that has something for them, and a book and I hope you hire someone to speak.
Remember, Most books are under $ 20, so if all you have is a book, hunting $ 20.
Connecting to your vision
This is not a "Woo-woo" or "empty words" the issue. What I will share it is not surprising. Want to know what you offer your reader more of the book.
– Are you sure anyone wants to read what you write?
– How do you know that people want what you write?
– What do you want and need?
– How and where to find your readers?
– What are your plans for after the book? (Products, services, courses, etc)
– You want a company that will create the inheritance to their heirs?
Make your vision of how this book will write part of their life and you can be sure that everything else that goes with the book takes place, like pieces of a puzzle.
Action Plan
1.First answer to the above questions for yourself. Think beyond the book.
2.use a system of how to write a book that makes sense for you. Make sure you shows how to develop a solid company with the book as a door through which his readers from his ideal world.
3.Adjust you a deadline to finish his book.
4.Follow system à la carte. Do not decide you know better. Do not omit parts. Do things in order. Take your time.
You are on the way, not only to take his book printed, but also ensure that no hunting Tickets $ 20.
