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

It’s not just luck, because some are able to do it over and over again.

There are many factors to writing a successful book, but I would like to focus on the three key success factors to writing a bestseller and making a good profit.

If you figure out and put these factors into practice, you could receive an extra6 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 accompany it.

A book is more than just 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 that same information in other forms that sell just as well. When you’re thinking about your book, proactively plan your other products and services so that your book is an intentional part of your business. Not only will have a very additional system of marketing, but also additional income streams, because the book sells everything and everything sells the book.

Key Factor 2 – When writing your book, add in all of the essential components and some of the enticing ones, and you’ll find your book is easy to promote, market, and sell.

There are a few components which cannot be ignored when creating a bestseller, and some of them must be included from the start. There are also some highly desirable 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 sell and are therefore very desirable. Some features that all New York Times Bestsellers have in common are: testimonials, resources listings, captivating stories that make a point, relevant quotes and an index.

Key Factor 3 – Proactively begin your book pre-sales while you are still writing and guide pre-sales to as much 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 sales of books help the book towards a bestseller status and it’s vital to know which ones do. Keep your attention to only those that matter and compress the sales during an appropriate time period. If you have learned what you need to and created the right sale quantities you’ll have a guaranteed winner.

ACTION POINT: If you want to find out how to write and publish a good book that makes money and makes you a bestselling author, then you must use the secret recipe that top authors use to successfully hit that goal. Make a decision to use the Key Factors outlined above and keep your eye on the ball, and you’ll knock it out of the park
