Book Writing Tips to Boost Book Marketing Results: 4 Simple Ways to Create a Book Bonus

By Ronda Del Boccio

When you’re writing your book, it’s important to give the reader a compelling reason to come to your website. Saying “visit my website for more information” with a link just won’t cut it. Everyone’s too busy to visit without a goal.

Offering bonuses is a great way to get readers to your site AND gain permission to keep communicating with them. They get valuable resources. You get their name and email address along with permission to let them know about your other products, services, book signings, workshops, etc.

Everything you do should make book marketing and promotion easier and more effective for you. Useful gifts do that easily.

Create Book Bonuses Fast

The idea of offering book bonuses sounds easy enough, but you may be wondering how to make great gifts that readers will CRAVE… without making you drop everything for a month to create.

The bonus needs to have a high perceived value. It can’t just be a chapter of an upcoming book. Ho-hum!

It shouldn’t be something that takes you long to create. You have a busy schedule, after all!

And it needn’t be something that takes the reader a long time to read or act upon.

If that sounds like a tall order, it’s not. You can easily create 1 or more of these useful tools in just a few minutes.

Here are 4 EFFORTLESS ways to create a valuable bonus that your reader will truly crave. Even a novelist can use these strategies to give people a reason to opt in for your bonus.

Easy Bonus #1: Create a Checklist

The checklist could be a list of steps, a calendar, or a list of items.

If your book lays out steps to complete, the bonus could be a simple list of each step. Add a little more value by adding a line where the reader can check when they’ve completed each one.

It might be a checklist of the things to do, buy or remember. If your book guides the reader through craft projects, for example, provide supply lists needed for each so the reader can acquire all the tools and supplies at once.

If your book mentions particular foods, landmarks, collectibles, or the like, provide a listing of all the mentioned items or places.

Since you as the author are obviously well-versed in your subject, putting together a good checklist will only take a few minutes, yet it is extremely valuable to your readers.

Easy Bonus #2: Create a Template, Pattern or Recipe

Having a trail of breadcrumbs to follow makes any task easier, doesn’t it?

Consider what kind of template or pattern you might offer with your book. If your book mentions foods, provide the recipes. If your heroine is a decorator, offer a template she uses for her signature style of window dressing. If your book is about woodworking, provide the plans for a simple cabinet.

Again, this type of bonus is hugely valuable to the reader while taking you very little time to create.

Easy Bonus #3: Write a Resource Guide

Authors often dismiss providing a resource list as being of little value, arguing that those assets are available all over the internet.

Yes, but the reader has to hunt and dig for them if you don’t provide a list. Think of the hours you can save your reader, not to mention saving her from finding all the bad ones first!

One time I was at a conference, and an entire session was simply every participant taking turns offering their best resources. Attendance was high and everyone was furiously scribbling notes.

You as the expert can easily create a resource guide in a matter of minutes.

Easy Bonus #4: Create a Quick Tutorial or Demo

Anything that is better explained in a tutorial video or demo is perfect for this type of bonus. Let the reader watch you make the recipe, use the tool or do the project.

Never assume that your reader knows all the shortcuts and insider tips for doing what is effortless for you.

Here is a perfect example: Many people have a Gmail account, but most don’t know about things like automatically filtering incoming messages into folders, blocking addresses, or setting up an email signature.

You become the hero for showing your reader how to use a new tool or make the most of something she already has but doesn’t use to the fullest.

Using a free screen capture program such as CamStudio from http://www.CamStudio.org, it is easy to make a short tutorial video of any computer-based tool. Or using a cell phone, webcam or digital recorder, it is simple to make a demo video.

.Not Just for Books

These 4 bonus ideas work well for information products as well as physical or digital books. Imagine a coaching program, workshop, or self-paced study program complete with a variety of checklists, templates and resource lists that are simple to create.

Remember – Make the Reader Opt In

Remember to make the reader complete an opt-in form in order to receive the bonuses you create. Don’t just put a link to your tools from your website. This is the best way to turn book bonuses into book marketing powerhouses.

If you’ve thought it’s high time you find out how to write and publish a book on Kindle, you now have a new option. There’s a new kid in town when it comes to Kindle publishing. It’s called Kindle Singles.

Kindle Direct Publishing lets anyone who holds rights to their work publish a Kindle book. Kindle Singles go through an editorial process and have stringent quality guidelines.

First things first. Kindle Singles are probably new to you.

What is a Kindle Single?

According to Amazon, Kindle Singles are shorter works expressed in their “natural length.”  To Amazon, this means 5,000 to 30,000 words. If you’re not sure how long that is, it’s from 20 to 120 8.5 x 11 pages.

Works such as memoirs, novellas, short stories, special reports, and chapbooks (poetry collections) are ideal for Singles.

So the question you might ask yourself is:

Should publish a Kindle Single or self-publish with Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)?

The answer? You may be irritated:

It depends!

What’s the intended outcome?

Really think this through before you answer this question for yourself. I’ll help.

KDP means you’re instantly a published author. The number of Kindle books is growing fast. You gain all the benefits of being an author right away, even if your book is a 15 or 20 page special report.

Imagine You Thin hit #1 bestseller in 7 days and months later, the title is consistently in the top 25 or better in at least 2 categories. This is a very short report.

Cynthia Fertal, the author, started from nothing, wrote her book, followed my system and turned a special report into a #1 bestseller in days. Here’s proof of her #1 bestseller status.

Naturally, there are no submission guidelines because you’re self-publishing with the KDP process.

Now take a look at Singles. As a subset within Kindle, there are only a few Singles, which is great news should you decide to go through the selection process.

How Many Kindle Singles Are There?

In the past month there are only 11 new titles, and 33 within the last 90 days. That means if you pass the editorial guidelines, your chances of making a bigger splash with a Single are bigger

There are just over 400 customer ratings of Kindle singles as of today.

And get this – there are only 123 Kindle Singles as of today.

If you’re thinking of submitting a piece of your work of 5,000 to 30,000 words (which can truly be a book the way I teach people), what’s the process? 

The Kindle Singles Selection Process

Unlike Kindle Direct Publishing through www.KDP.Amazon.com, Kindle Singles authors go through an approval process. This makes Singles publishing more like going through a publisher.

There are quality guidelines for Kindle Singles. Here is what they are seeking:

We’re looking for compelling ideas expressed at their natural length–writing that doesn’t easily fall into the conventional space limitations of magazines or print books. Kindle Singles are typically between 5,000 and 30,000 words.

Source Kindle Singles Submission Policy

How to Submit a Book to Kindle Singles

Here are the guidelines straight from Amazon.com:

How to submit

We will consider ebooks recently published via Kindle Direct Publishing, manuscript submissions, or pitches.

• To nominate your self-published book, simply email us at kindle-singles@amazon.com and include the title, ASIN, and a brief summary.

• If the work is not yet published, you can submit a manuscript or a detailed pitch for your Kindle Single. Send as much material as you have available to kindle-singles@amazon.com and include your name and a writing sample.

• Writers or publishers wishing to propose an idea for a Kindle Single can write to our editors at kindle-singles@amazon.com.

Source Kindle Singles Submission Policy

Publish a Kindle Book

Remember, you can write more than 1 book. So even if you decide to submit to Kindle Singles, you’re free to publish a book on Kindle.

As you have seen, it is free to self-publish a book on Kindle with Kindle Direct Publishing. However, you may find it helpful to have a little more guidance.

Effortless Kindle Publishing gives you:

• a book writing template to make your life easier
• Video tutorials to walk you through the KDP publishing process.
• a Kindle publishing resource guide with all the links you’ll need in 1 place.
• a Kindle FAQ audio with PDF guide where I answer the most common questions about publishing a Kindle book.
• Free publicity from me when you publish your Kindle book (and you own Effortless Kindle Publishing or another program from me).
• And a couple of bonuses, including a 1–on-1 Bestseller Breakthrough Strategy Session with me so we can talk about your plans, your book and your legacy!

All for what you’d spend on a fast food lunch.

Any expert goes through all the ups and downs of growing a reputation, getting articles published, and figuring out how to write a book knows the power of perseverance.

Staying on course through ups and downs –  through trials and tribulation –  takes courage.

Kicking it up a notch -

Any expert – any business owner – who decides to write a book, then takes the steps to write a book. has a double dose of gumption.

Adding more fuel, anyone who follows through on writing that book, getting published, and then undertaking the ongoing challenges of book marketing knows the meaning of “do it!”

And all of that is no guarantee of success.

“w-w-wait….WHAT???”

Yeah, I know. You want to believe it’s just grit, muscle or hard work that makes for success.

Not giving up early – following one course until successful – is definitely important.

But how many people do you know (maybe including YOU?) who work hard and still aren’t getting the results they want?

X Marks the Spot

What’s missing for so many isn’t skill, hard work or follow-through.

If working more, longer, and harder were all it took, then lots of struggling authors, musicians, artists, and business owners would be wildly successful and blissfully rich!

So what’s missing?

What’s missing is sharing your X Factor!

What is “The X Factor”?

The X Factor is not just a TV competition show that just came to the USA, with Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul and L. A. Reid as judges.

The REAL X Factor is a quality, not a show.

The X Factor is that special something that makes you stand out from all the people who do the same thing you do.

It’s not just staying the course, not just skill, not just talent.

It’s some of all that plus a dose of something sparkling and magical.

An example of the X Factor is one of the contestants who auditioned for the new (in America) show, The X Factor.

Melanie Amaro came with a heart full of dreams and a big gift.

“If I could, I would probably sing everything,” Melanie said during her pre-audition spotlight.

She sings constantly in her everyday life, and when she sings, the power that comes from her is palpable.

Here’s the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqjroNlL4pI

Wow – that was powerful!

That extra “something special” is the X Factor.

And it’s not only about hitting all the “right notes” either.

“Do people either HAVE the  X Factor or not?”

The brightest of the bright have the X Factor, and many people believe that either a person has that magical quality or they don’t. Period..

I say the X Factor is inside every person with a dream; it’s simply a matter of bringing out the X inside you!

The X Factor is magic. And I say it is something you can develop!

And now you’re thinking…

“Do I have the X Factor?”

Find out by joining a free call.

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, October 5, 2011  at 1 PM Eastern called “The X Factor Formula”.

You’ll learn:

• Why some people stand out over others, even if they’re less talented.
• How to identify the special X quality in others (so you can identify it in YOU!)
• What the X Factor actually IS that distinguishes it from fame created with pure promotion and propaganda.
• The 4 X Factor qualities and how to call them forth to reach your goals and dreams
• The X Factor Formula for getting out of your own way and living from your light.
• The 10 X Factor Declarations that focus your thoughts, words and intentions.
• and, of course, more.

By the end of this call, you will know how to call forth YOUR inner X Factor and live the purpose for which you were born.

Your tuition for this call, valued at $97, is waived only until Wednesday, October 5 at 1 PM ET, when the call happens. After that, I’m turning this call and all the tools into a paid product.

How to Write a Book and Publish a Book on Kindle

Being an author gives you instant prestige, instant credibility and instant VIP status. It sets you apart as an industry leader and a voice worth heeding.

any expert, business owner or even avid hobbyist is well-advised to write and publish a book.

If you are not yet an author and you want to know how to write a book the easy way and how to self-publish a book on Kindle and even also in print, the Easy Write and Publish System is a valuable resource for you.

I know Amazon.com won’t like what I am about to say, because the biggest reason for letting authors publish a book on Kindle is most authors who publish on Kindle generate sales of 3–5 of the pricey devices.

Why? Because even though every Kindle book shows the available free Kindle apps right there on the page, people don’t look, don’t read and and don’t pay attention.

Here’s how the sales happen.

Let’s take a hypothetical yet typical author named Carol. She finds out how to self-publish a book on Kindle. She follows the simple path to publishing, and in just a couple days, she is a published author with her first Kindle book.

She is so excited that she buys a Kindle so she can read her own book on it. Chalk up one more Kindle sold.

Then she tells everyone she knows (rightfully so) that she is a published Kindle author, and her family and friends get ALL excited too (again, rightfully so!).

Her mom, sister, and two other family members all go and buy a Kindle so they can read their family superstar’s book on Kindle. Chalk another 4  Kindle Reader sales.

Her best friend, 2 ladies from church and 1 mom from carpool all go get one too. Chalk up 4 more sales of the Kindle Reader.

Carol has sold 9 books in this transaction, perhaps bringing her enough revenue to take her family out for ice cream cones.

Amazon.com is the big winner with over $1,000 in revenue generated simply because they allow authors to self-publish.

This hypothetical example resulted in 9 Kindle Reader sales since our Carol is so magnetic, but typically, friends and family of authors who self publish a book on Kindle DO cause sales of the device..

Self Publishing Kindle Authors Mean A Few Dollars for the Author but Huge Revenue to Amazon.com

People tend to ASSUME they need to own a Kindle in order to read a Kindle book, even though every page with a Kindle book shows all the free Kindle apps available right there on the screen.

Every author who will publish a book on Kindle generates an average of 5 Kindle Reader sales. Not to mention all the other Kindle books and accessories that that will result all from authors like Carol.

I’m not saying Amazon.com is evil. I am proud to say that I am a #1 bestselling Kindle author. I steer people to the free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad and more. And if they want a Kindle Reader, they can get it through my affiliate link!

No, I did not buy a Kindle Reader. No, I have nothing against them, other than the fact that they’re not accessible to blind people.

As someone who is mostly blind, I can’t use one. Even the free Kindle apps are inaccessible to me. Though there is an option to have a mechanical voice read the book, the human has to be able to see in order to get there.

Now that I’ve spilled the beans, so to speak, on Amazon.com’s dirty little secret, you can publish a book on Kindle knowing how NOT to fall under their spell.

Wondering “What are the steps to write a book FAST then how do I publish my book on Kindle?”

The Easy Write and Publish System shows you 6 of the fastest and easiest methods for how to write a book. Then you see how (literally, in video_) to publish a book on Kindle and in print for free.

You get audios, videos and text to support you in whichever way you learn best.

This article is for both writers AND readers. As an author, you want to give your reader a great experience, and as a reader, you want to HAVE a great experience.

One of the biggest complaints about the Amazon Kindle Reader is that it is all in shades of grey.

As an author, that means being careful about the images to ensure they look professional when all the color is drained out of them.

As a reader, who wouldn’t prefer color? Even though people are used to seeing books with color covers and black-on-white interiors, color is better.

Free Kindle Apps

Yes –  Even though there are a half dozen FREE Kindle apps so anyone (except blind people) can read Kindle books on their PC, Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

People simply assume you HAVE to own a Kindle reader to read a Kindle book, even with evidence to the contrary easily visible on every Kindle-related page.

Now there can be an advantage to NOT having a Kindle Reader but instead using one of the many free Kindle apps..

COLOR on Kindle Apps

The latest news from Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is COLORFUL!

Kindle Direct Publishing Tip of the Month: Reprinted from the Kindle Direct Publishing Newsletter.

Your Book Can Display in Color on our Free Kindle Reading Apps:

Did you know that if your book has a lot of images, it can be viewed in color by readers using our free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Android?

As you know, Kindle uses an electronic ink display so that the screen reads like real paper, with no glare even in bright sunlight.

Images on Kindle are displayed in 16 shades of gray for great contrast and clarity.  If you have additional books with color images that have not been published through KDP, grow your reach to Kindle readers who use our free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Android.

Kindlegraph

News Flash #2 comes NOT from Amazon but from a developer who knows what readers want: autographs on their books.

With print, such a thing is easily managed, but how can an author autograph an ebook?

PS My site is about to change big-time!
Watch for details…

Far too many authors end up with broken dreams because they didn’t get mentoring BEFORE they finished writing the book.

You’re about to meet a published author whom I’ll call Cheryl (not her real name). Cheryl had wanted to write a book for years because she had a powerful story to tell.

She used a high-priced self-publishing company (really a vanity press in her case) that said her book would have its very own page on their site (for a handsome fee, of course). And they would put the book up on sites like Amazon.com for her to help her sell the book.

Cheryl became very excited. She did not have her own website, so sending people to a webpage or to Amazon made her think she would sell thousands of books easily. After all, the publisher’s efforts to increase web site traffic would mean sales, right?

Cheryl had a powerful personal story about the death of her child. She anticipated that because of her book, the media would call on her for interviews and she would get high profile speaking engagements…all because she was now a published author.

Three months after her book came into print, she had only sold a handful of books. Indeed, this is the sad truth for the vast majority of authors, because only just over 2% of books sell more than 100 copies.

Cheryl thought that simply being an author with her book in print and on a webpage would deliver the world to her doorstep. This was in part because of the publisher’s sales pitch, partly seeing blockbuster books getting media attention, and partly because she simply didn’t know any better.

She, like you, dreams.

When you have a dream, you’re not always thinking of what supports it. For example, when you have a concept of your dream home, you’re not thinking of the foundation and infrastructure…you’re simply imagining living your life in the dream house.

If you’re having a home built, you are well advised either to educate yourself so the contractor doesn’t take advantage of you OR to get a mentor/advisor to guide you through the process.

Cheryl is a smart woman, and if she had invested in mentoring instead of a vanity press that promised the world but delivered a hollow ball, her story would have a much different ending.

How to Avoid Cheryl’s Mistakes

Here are some places where Cheryl went wrong. Understanding this will help ensure you don’t make the same mistakes.

1. Poorly defined goals

If Cheryl’s goal was nothing more than telling her story and making a few sales, she could accomplish this easily (and much more affordably) using any of several free publishing options.

If she truly intended to have a speaking career or develop a business around her book, then getting guidance from a mentor would show her that she needed many more things in place before she decided to publish a book.

2. Lack of a business beyond the book.

She had no website, business or online presence. A book is nothing more than a lead generator. You’re only going to make a few dollars (or less if using a traditional publisher) on each sale, so having nothing more than a book is like chasing after dollar bills.

3. She did not hire a mentor to guide her.

If you were taking a trip through the Amazon jungles, the mountains of Peru or along whitewater rapids, you would have a guide, right?

So then why would you expect yourself to know everything about how to write a book in a way that meets your personal and financial goals without a mentor?

If you’re not already a successful author, why would you expect to know all the insider tips, profit strategies and industry secrets that successful authors know?

After all, you don’t know what you don’t know.

That’s why your best course of action is to get mentoring.

The power of mentoring.

If you get mentoring before you write a book or while you’re writing the book, this gives you a number of advantages.

AND don’t worry if you’re already published and not seeing the success you desire, because if your book is already published, you can still benefit from mentoring.

How to Write a Book with Mentoring BEFORE You Start Writing

Getting mentoring before you write the book gives you the best possible advantage.

A good mentor gives you templates that the guess-work out of writing your book and make it easy

For example, the system I teach, outlined in the Instant VIP: Insider Secrets to Fame, Freedom and Fulfillment as an Expert Author, shows you the 7 essential elements of a profit-producing book and the 7 elements of the (near) perfect chapter. That makes it easy for you to fill in the blanks and come out with a book that will wow your readers.

The unfortunate truth is that a whopping 75 per cent of readers only read 25 per cent of a nonfiction book…and that’s only bad news when you don’t sprinkle your book with compelling reasons why the reader must opt in at your website.

Tip: If your intended mentor doesn’t have a proven system for how to write a book easily, then find a better mentor.

A good mentor will share writing tips and tell you how to seed the book with opportunities to get more help from you.

In the Instant VIP System, you’ll discover things like how to set up your website for success and how to ensure every reader comes straight to you. You’ll also discover how to make sure the end of your book is a beginning, not an ending.

For example, having a last chapter that is called “summary” or “in conclusion” instantly shuts down the reader, because with a chapter title like that, you are already communicating, “We’re done here.”

Tip: If your intended mentor does not teach you how to make your book the best possible lead generator, find another mentor.

How to Write a Book with Mentoring If You are already Writing Your Book.

Everything above applies. You may have to do a little “course correction” (editing), but with today’s technology, this is a simple matter.

Jeremy Boone got mentoring while he was writing his book Parent Your Best, which is now a bestselling book. Because of mentoring, he picked up a bulk buyer that will mean thousands of book sales in one swoop.

Mentoring gives you leverage, because you tap into someone else’s expertise!. and who doesn’t need that!

Here is Jeremy’s bestseller screenshot of his book!

How to Write a Book with Mentoring EVEN AFTER Your Book Is Published

If your heart just hit the floor as you saw yourself in Cheryl’s place, you can stop worrying, because even if your book is “set in stone,” so to speak, there are plenty of ways to build a solid following and a business around your book.

Let’s face it, if you were someone like J. K. Rowling, you wouldn’t be reading this article. “Household name” authors earning millions are rare. And even those authors have other sources of income in addition to their books (speaking, theme parks, licensing, courses, coaching, etc.)

And if all you have is a  book, you can expect very little in terms of income.

Tip: A good mentor will show you how to build a reputation, a following, and a solid business around your book so that you have more sources of income than the meager earnings a book will bring to the vast majority of authors.

Are You a Good Autor Mentoring Candidate?

This will be a whole other article, but here are some qualities of a good candidate for mentoring with me.

• Intention to be of value and service
• Motivated
• Willing to follow your passion
• Positive attitude
• Coachable
• Finisher
• Care about your customers
• Build long-term relationships

Before You Invest in Author Mentoring

Before you invest in author mentoring, here are some things you should do.

1. Sniff out the mentor on your favorite search engine. Do they have a lot of listings and resources pointing back to them? (this can mean a website, books on Amazon, Facebook, Twitter and other places..

2. Can the mentor explain the benefits of her system in simple terms without making you pull up a chair?

My system has produced a number of #1 bestselling authors. I turn wanna-be authors into published author experts using simple systems and templates.

3. Does the mentor have a successful “track record”? You would want to see evidence that the mentor brings results for her clients.

These are some authors who are working with me and already achieving successes with their bestselling books: Jeremy Boone (Bestseller, Parent Your Best), Cynthia Fertal, #1 bestseller (and after several weeks at #4) Imagine You Thin!), and Dr. Julianne Blake, #1 bestseller Kicking Chronic Pain).

4. Is  the mentor accessible? If you see references to this person everywhere, they’re definitely accessible.

I often have people say, “I see you EVERYWHERE online!” That is exactly what you want to see, because it means the mentor is actively involved in their business and in their clients’ success.

5. It can be a good idea to get familiar with the mentor’s system through an introductory product. This allows you to see if you’re a good “fit” for each other. The mentoring relationship, like any other, thrives when there is a good match between mentor and mentee.

Whenever someone buys a product from me relevant to writing a book, such as The Instant VIP System, you get a $500 value Author Master plan Strategy Session. You get valuable assistance understanding how to make your book a success, and if you are the right fit, you will be invited into the by invitation only VIP Author Mentoring program.

6. Find out whether the mentor have more than one option for mentoring, such as 1–on-1, group, or self-study.

Private mentoring  is a bigger investment and lets you laser in on your specific needs. A

A good group mentoring program is extremely valuable for growing a solid foundation for your book-business. It has the added benefit of group synergy and group support that self-study programs don’t.

My program includes 24 teaching calls plus weekly open  Q&A calls.

Self study seems like an obvious choice, but because there is no “hand-holding” and, more importantly, no accountability, there may be no book.

My experience is that people who THINK they’re good at self-paced study really aren’t that motivated and tend to “back-burner” their book for years. A good mentor has a solution.

Because I know you’re no good on your own anyone who comes into a self-study program with me also gets a live “Monthly Momentum Call” during which you get to ask any questions you have regarding your book, website, book marketing or business. Calls are recorded and even if you’re not available, there is a simple way to ask questions.and hear the answers

Your invitation

First of all, I invite you to become a fan of The Profitable Author on Facebook, where you will get useful articles, support and community. You’ll find it at www.ProfitableStorytelling.com/vippage.

Next, if you’re writing your book or getting ready to write it, The Instant VIP Package is a great overview of how to write a book that boosts your business. You’ll find it at www.InstantCredibilityBook.com.

  When you have a strong sense of mission, calling or message that must be shared, becoming an author is without a doubt the most powerful way to increase your credibility.

Why?

Because being an author makes you an Instant VIP. Author is the root of the word authority, and being one makes you one.

So when your aim is to teach, inspire, coach or share a message of love and healing, being an author is mission critical.

This week, two budding authors who are students of mine have taken the first steps to sharing their message, passion, and purpose in life with their books. They have written a Kindle book and have made enough sales to attain an elite rank among authors… They have become–

Bestselling authors!

 #1 Bestselling Author Dr. Julianne Blake

Dr. Julianne Blake, AKA “Dr. Wow!” brings a message of stress relief and ease for people who experience chronic pain. She has developed several simple yet powerful techniques that she herself uses to move beyond chronic pain to live the life of her dreams.

Dr. Wow! has achieved #1 bestselling author status with her new special report, Kicking Chronic Pain.

Dr. Wow! is the Ambassador of Overcoming Chronic pain on HowToLiveOnPurpose.com.

Bestselling Author Chiwah Slater

Carol (Chiwah) Slater has a passion for writing. She loves helping people write their books. She is now bringing her business onto the internet and sharing her expertise on a larger scale.

Chiwah has achieved bestselling author status with her special report Write the Lead Out.

This will be the springboard for her sharing her message on a larger scale as she begins to serve more people.

Being an author, especially a bestselling author, gives you extra credibility as an expert worthy of attention.

Another recent #1 Bestselling Author, Cynthia Fertal 

They join #1 bestselling Cynthia Fertal, author of Imagine You Thin as people who have attained bestselling author status using the Instant VIP system for how to write a book that boosts your business.

Celebrating My Students’ Success!

 As a mentor, there is no greater joy for me than to watch my students live their passion and purpose in life. I jump up and down, screen, cheer and generally go nuts whenever my students do great things.

As I often tell my students, “Now I have a piece of every success you have because.I mentored you!”

Great things happen when you publish a book on Kindle  or publish a book in print. And although now it’s easier than ever to self publish a book, an author still needs to think things through and have a proven strategy for turning that book into leads, customers and clients.

3 Insider Secrets to How to Write a Book that Spreads Your message, Builds Your Following and Boosts Your Business

 Authors tend to kill their chances of making their book a winner simply because they don’t have the Instant VIP elements that make any book a success.

If you happen to pick up any of these Kindle books, you will notice that not all have the success elements I am about to share (unless they read this article and catch a clue and re-upload their book!).

Instant VIP Success Element 1: A Great Title

One of those elements is a sizzling title.”Imagine You Thin” is a phenomenal title. It taps into a deep desire for most women. It has remained a bestseller almost since it hit the virtual bookshelf.

Kick Chronic Pain bypassed medically oriented books, and no doubt the title played an important role.

As you consider a title and subtitle for your book, remember that the title’s only job is to capture the reader’s attention. And in this attention economy, you’d better grab the reader’s attention by the eyeballs and hold on tight. The subtitle is where you reveal the primary benefit of the book.

Notice this in action with my book The Instant VIP! Insider secrets to Fame, Freedom and Fulfillment as an Expert Author

The title grabs you with VIP status. The subtitle shows you what you get from the book.

.

Instant VIP Success Element 2: a way to collect leads

many authors fail to include a way to collect contact information from readers.  When someone buys a book from a place like Amazon.com, you as the author are not there at point of sale. You’re not using your own shopping cart, and so you do not have the buyer’s contact information.

A way around this, and a critical success element in any book, is to include a link to a page where you collect the buyer’s first name and email address.

It’s not enough to send people to your homepage or say, “want more? visit my website at blablabla.com” .You need a specific direction and a specific reason.

Write the Lead Out could, for example, include a statement like this: “Get writing prompts and inspirational quotes for writers at (link).” make sure there is a specific tool, gift or resource that the reader will receive.

And it shouldn’t just be the dot-com or your blog. It should be a specific page with compelling reasons why to opt in and the form.

Instant VIP Success Element 3: Strong Ending

Imagine you’re a reader of a book, which I know you have been many times. But now you are going to look through the eyes of a marketer.

The author has promised you a solution. She has taken you by the hand and walked you through steps, a process or a way to get relief. Then all of a sudden you read, “Some final thoughts.”

Although this may not consciously be going through your mind, you are already pulling back because you feel the author dropping your hand. “We’re done here,” is the message you receive.

Statements like “in conclusion,” “finally” or “the end” say that the matter is closed and there is no reason  for you to continue.

The end of the book is the opening of a new relationship .

You want the reader to come back to you for more. If you close the relationship, this will not happen.

Instead, your closing should convey that there is more to come.

Your Next Step

 Put these 3 success principles into your own book and you are better able to leverage the power of being an author of your own book.

 But perhaps the whole prospect of writing a book thrills and terrifies you at the same time. If you are writing a book to share your message, passion or expertise, you may feel at a loss as to how to proceed. If that’s how you feel, don’t worry. You’re in good company. Anyone on the trail of a dream feels exactly that way.

I would love to take you by the hand and guide you through the process of getting your message out of your head and heart and into the world where it belongs.

A great way to get started is to bring home the Easy Write and Publish program, because you discover 5 of the easiest ways to write a book with zero agony or pain. You also find out how to publish in both print and electronic format effortlessly.

You get audios, videos and text to support whichever learning style is best and easiest for you. Instructions are simple to follow so you know exactly what to do without guesswork.

When you have an important message to share, you want to take every opportunity to ensure your message gets to those who most need to hear it. 

This is true whether you are serving your cherished customers or clients in your business, prospering your charity or raising funds for disaster relief

Being a published author is one of the very best ways to share your most important message, because as an author, you gain the instant VIP status that being published brings.

It used to be that having a print book published by one of the major houses was the only way you were considered to be a “real” author. Not so today.

Digital publishing is levelling the playing field for authors and making it possible for the average person to become a published author, or even a bestselling author.

Published in 7 Days? YES!

With digital publishing, such as Amazon Kindle, it is possible to publish a book and have it online for sale in 2 days. So if you put a book together quickly, you can see it up on the web for sale in 7 days (or less).

Success Stories!

Several budding business owners gathered in a class I taught. They  discovered how easy it is to write a mini book and publish a book on Kindle and get the best possible leverage for success out of the experience. That class took place Monday, March 21, 2011,

Cynthia Fertal was SO incredibly excited from the class that she put her book together that same night. She is a SUPREME inspired action taker!

Just 7 days later, 4 of the students now can say, “Not only do I know how to publish a book on Kindle. but I took inspired action – and now I am a published author!”

One of them has an even bigger success. Cynthia Fertal published “Imagine You Thin!” She can say, “I am a bestselling author!”

She didn’t even know it until I told her, and here is what bestselling author Cynthia Fertal said when she got the news:

“I am a bestselling author? a bestselling author! I’m shaking so hard. How wonderful!”

This is someone who is new in her business and now can leverage the fact that she’s a bestselling author forever. She can also expand on her success by giving a push to #1 bestseller and by continuing to

Can I Have a “Whoop-whoop!” and a happy dance, please?

OH YEAH!

Inspired Action brings  RESULTS!

These inspired action-takers brought a project from “zero” to completion in a week. Some of them already have made sales of their books!

You’ll see their books below and discover how YOU can enjoy the same success.

Each one provides real answers for the reader. each is in a different niche.

This is truly exciting, because having a book available on THE go-to place for books is a good thing for any expert or business owner.

Now, when you think of a “book,” you probably have an image of something that’s 80 or 100 or 200 pages in your head, right?

And if you’re talking about a print book, for the most part, you’re going to have at least 44 pages. As an expert, it’s likely that you have plenty of articles, blog posts or other materials out there.

Things are different when you leave the world of print.

The most important factor is quality.

There’s an entrepreneur who is going around to people with lists and teaching their subscribers and customers how to publish a book in 20 minutes.

Fine. I’m all for speed if there’s quality.

BUT he’s teaching people to throw together private label rights articles that are both insubstantial and poorly written.

I’d rather you use YOUR words, YOUR articles, and YOUR expertise – AND publish a book fast!

Is that OK with you?  (that’s NOT a rhetorical question!)

Focus on SERVING Your reader

If he suggested the would-be author reworked those pre-written articles  and added some real “meat” to them PLUS add some of your own articles, that wouldn’t be the worst way to put a book together fast. It wouldn’t be my best recommendation, but it would work.

Be careful about anything you assemble, because slapping junk together and calling it a book is not a good business move.

You want your focus always to be upon serving the reader a truly good solution. Because in that way, you cause people to want more of what you offer –  bigger and better solutions to their big problems!

Newly Published Authors from last week’s class.

These new authors had no book on Kindle when they began. They now have their special reports on Kindle.

How to Publish a Book on Kindle

Publishing a book on Kindle is incredibly easy. Just go to Kindle Direct publishing and follow instructions.

Amazon is wonderful about giving tutorials for everything from formatting to categories to covers. It’s just a matter of reading the screen and following directions.

Plus, any time you want, you can edit the book, cover, categories or any other information.

How to Publish a Book on Kindle is MORE than just filling out a form

While anyone can visit www.KDP.amazon.com, sign in with your Amazon.com login and get published in 2 days, there are so many things you can do to make sure that your ideal reader does MORE business with you.

These aspects of how to write a book that boosts your business include:

• a great, attention-grabbing title
• An appealing cover
• Good “copy” that describes the book
• The right categories
• elements inside the book that drive the reader to your website – and to YOU!
• and, of course, more.

Having your book on Kindle or in any other format is not just about being able to point customers to a link to make a sale.

Sure, you’ll make some money from the book, but that’s just pocket change, really. This is where I see so many authors get tripped up.

Never focus on the book royalties as a source of income. You’ll be chasing crumbs if you do.

The way any author TRULY becomes a profitable author is by writing a book that leads to more of the benefits you provide. This might be your products, coaching, or consulting

The best thing to do is to write the book such in a way that the reader feels so well served that he or she comes back to YOU and your business for more.

Your book has important jobs. You want that book to

• point people back to you
• build your business
• build your credibility and more,
