Writers For Books

Though good writers for books are important, and it’s essential to have a well written book, there is something that is equally vital to your success as an author.

It would be ridiculous to imagine an Olympic athlete not training for years beforehand. Truth is, it takes dedication and persistence to be great in anything. Don’t let the overnight success story fool you. Even they took time and effort to get there.

To be successful as an author – a real success with lots of books sold and people clamoring to know you – you absolutely must DO certain things as an author. The whispers made in the movie, “Field of Dreams”, “Build it and they will come,” is not the way things work in the real world.

YOU MUST MAKE THINGS KNOWN IN ORDER TO GET ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. How else could you possibly sell a single book when others have no idea that it or you even exist?

So the secret to your success lies in making it known that your book is coming or is available and that you are worth listening to or learning from. The trick is, just how do you do that and create strong interest all the while?

There is a series of actions that you can do which have been shown time, and time again, to be involved in creating immense success for authors – even to the point of making bestsellers.

Knowing first that you have to do something to cause your success is the key. And then actually doing those specific things which need to be done with efficiency and correctness is the secret to your success as an author in so many ways.

If you want to get a book deal with a traditional publisher, having a platform established is a shoe-in for you and music to a literary agent’s and publisher’s ears. It’s exactly what they’re looking for: those who are readily creating a following and establishing themselves as the authority in a specific niche.

And just the same, if you want to self-publish, with such a platform you can sell a lot of books and other products/services. It truly is the answer to anyone’s challenges. Here’s why…

If you have a burning desire to have a book but can’t afford the cost of a good book writer, creating your platform will allow you to make money to fund your project in two possible ways:

1. by impressing traditional publishers so much that they will give you an advance to pay for your writer.
OR
2. by making money on informational product sales that then fund your book’s writing aspect.

Bottom line, YOU MUST BUILD A PLATFORM NO MATTER WHAT PATH YOU TAKE AS AN ASPIRING AUTHOR IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED.

So there you have the secret to immense success as an author. If you don’t believe it, just talk to a failed book author and you will find that they did not do what has been revealed in this article.

Any of the writers for books out there might produce a great book for you, but then what? How do you make that great book known far and wide? The answer, my friend, isn’t blowing in the wind…it’s in others getting to know you.

In today’s literary world, one simply cannot rely on writers who write books to make them a successful author. Writers for books are not in the line or expertise of creating bestsellers or selling lots of books. YOU have to cause your own success. And here’s a wonderful secret…

Your success as a book author, aside from having a great written book, has everything to do with the public awareness of you as regards your book’s topic – getting yourself well-known far and wide as the authority for that subject. This is done by creating what’s known as a “platform.”

Your platform, briefly described, is the image you create of yourself and the exposure you accomplish. In other words, it is the RESULT of your promotional actions that create the ideal image of you to an ever-growing specific audience.

So while putting great effort into having a great, well-written book, also start thinking about what you’re going to do to become well-known and well thought of. Then begin immediately – get into action – and start. Waiting until your book is ready is far too late because it takes time to find people and build loyalty, create trust and SHOW BY ACTION that you truly are an expert and their lives will be enhanced by heeding your advice or being connected up in some way.

Some very effective ways to begin building your platform is with a website (this will show others that you are in business), start a blog and offer valuable information or that of interest, and begin thinking of ways and then offering things of value – for sale or for free – that your followers would want or need.

I’ll talk more about these and other successful actions for building a platform as time goes on. But please feel free to comment or make a request and I will write about what you want/need to know right now.

Lord knows we’ve met our fair share of talkers who could never walk the walk when it came right down to getting something accomplished. You know…the braggers who never DID anything worthwhile. And certainly you will get an ear full from many individuals. So how does one determine the BSer from the real McCoy?

Writers for books, truly professional book writers, are very few and far between. In other words, it is a rare individual that you seek. This is important to know because when you run into “lots” of possible writers on-line, there will only be 1 or perhaps 2 that are worth their weight in gold. Why is this? Because a book must have the certain qualities that VERY few people can actually create. Vital book qualities like:

• the real potential to write a bestseller
• very professional in the grammatical and literal sense
• be free of almost all errors (there are no absolutes)
• reads exceptionally well
• easy to understand for the targeted audience
• is a joy and a pleasure to read

…are all aspects that cannot be ignored. The TRUE professional writer has to possess the ability to produce these qualities, and many more. So realize that writers for books are few and far between.

By sheer definition of what a “professional” is, a professional book writer works full-time, not evenings and weekends. Their job is to write all day, and to get paid for it. That’s what they do for a living. They don’t come home from work and write for a few hours in the evening and on weekends. That better defines the dilettante, someone with a pet project.

The truly professional writer for books will have a high quality, professional-looking Web site. As well, their business cards will be professionally produced and readily available.

As in any field, everything about the individual should be professional. Anything that is not should be viewed as a warning sign. When finding writers for books, there will be more about “the TRUE professional” book writer that will help you differentiate the good from the bad, the pro from the charlatan in coming articles. In my next article, I’ll show you how to differentiate between the professional and those you should avoid.
