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

It’s not just luck, because some are able to do repeatedly.

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 implement these factors, you could add an additional 6 or 7-figures to your income from each book you write in the future.

Key Factor 1 – Design a business around each book so that each book has great products that go with it.

Your book is more than a lot of paper with words all over it. It transfers your knowledge for people to use and enjoy via a traditional format. You’ll have a far greater level of success when you realize that you can transfer the exact same information in other forms that sell just as effectively. When you’re planning your next book, proactively plan out other products and services so that your book fits into your business in an intentional way. Not only will have a very additional system of marketing, but also extra income streams, because everything sells the book and the book sells everything.

Key Factor 2 – As your write the book, stick in all of the necessary ingredients and some of the desirable ones, and you’ll find your book is easy to advertise, market and sell.

There are a few ingredients that are essential to creating a bestseller, and some must be designed in from the start. There are also some very enticing features which help to increase the marketability and value 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 market and are therefore very desirable. Some features that all New York Times Bestsellers have in common are: captivating stories that make a point, relevant quotes, testimonials, resources listings, and an index.

Key Factor 3 – Be proactive and begin your book pre-sales while writing your book and guide pre-sales to as much 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 count toward becoming a bestseller and it’s extremely important to know which ones don’t. Keep your attention to only those that count and compress the sales during an appropriate time period and if you have studied what you need to and created the right amount of sales you’ll have a guaranteed winner.

ACTION POINT: If you want to knowhow to write a book that makes money and becomes a bestseller, then you must follow the secret formula that top authors 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.
