Write A Book That Sells!

I have written 7 books so far,  two children books and five business books, 4 have become International Amazon Bestsellers!

They not only made it into the Bestseller Lists across Europe and the US, but also into the Top 10 in Japan and Top 20 in Brazil!

It’s one thing to write a book, it’s an entirely different thing to write one that’s a saleable, viable, marketable product. Ensuring the success of a book is something even the biggest publishers have never been able to guarantee.

Mitigating circumstances, flash trends, and world events will all affect buyer preferences. That said, there are still ways to leverage the sales-factor in your favour and here’s how you do it.

Here are vital aspects you may want to consider;

1. Know your readers;

• Are your readers male or female?
• How old are your readers? What is their age range?
• Are readers married, single, or divorced?
• Where do your readers live?
• What do your readers do for a living?
• What other books/publications do they read?

Develop a profile that includes where they shop, what clubs they belong to, etc.
These elements will help you incorporate these aspects into your book and help you to create targeted marketing campaigns.

2. Know your market;

• What’s the market like for your book?
• Is there a trend out there you’re positioning yourself toward?
• Have you undertaken research into the publications related to this topic/trend?
• Are there any gaps in the literature, your book could fill?
• What’s the future for this market/topic?
• What do you know about trends related to your book/topic/audience?

3. Similar books;

• What else has been published on your topic?
• Have you read the leading books in your category?
• Is your book portraying the topic in a different angle?

4. Getting and staying current;

• What’s going on in your industry today?
• What are some hot buttons?
• What are people looking for?
• What’s next on the horizon for this topic/audience?
• Have you surveyed your target audience?

5. Follow the media;

• What topics are currently covered in the media?
• Do you see a trend being repeatedly covered?
• Is there something that seems to be getting more buzz even if it’s on page six?

6. Talk & listen;

• Talk about your book and listen to potential readers think of it.
• Listen to what book reviewers appreciate and also what they view to be annoying.

7. Timing;

• When do you plan to release your book?
• Are you releasing around a holiday or anniversary?
• Could you take advantage of any upcoming event and/or holiday for your book launch?
