Every author dreams of becoming a bestseller. It is actually a very simple concept. Get enough people to buy your book through tracked retailers within a short period of time. However, the careful planning and logistics of making this happen can be overwhelming. So why do authors care so much about this recognition?
There are five reasons why every author should shoot for bestseller status:
1. You Become a Celebrity
The celebrity status gained by becoming a best seller is immeasurable. A title you keep for the rest of your life. There are experts that know exactly what it takes to accomplish this goal. The more significant the bestseller title, the more strategic and expansive the scope of requirements becomes. The order of challenge and significance from least to greatest would be BarnesandNoble.com, Amazon.com, then NYT Bestseller. Being a bestseller, even on BarnesandNoble.com, adds instant credibility.
2. Exposure
As a bestseller, your book will be featured in special ways. Retailers who are not currently carrying a book will want to when they see that it is a bestseller elsewhere. Exposure is what sells books. When we are able to put bestseller on marketing materials and press releases, the response is significantly greater.
3. Special Pricing for Buyers
Retail outlets will often sell bestsellers at a special price without effecting the author or publisher. This will make the book more attractive to buyers in comparison with other books.
4. Exponential Increase in Sales
Becoming a bestseller builds momentum. Every retailer wants to carry the best sellers because they are what everyone must want. Becoming a bestseller breeds curiosity. People immediately want to know why your book became a bestseller. This generates buyers.
5. Increased Income Potential
If you are a speaker, meeting planners will be more likely to choose the author who is a bestseller. As a consultant, trainer, or coach, you will be able to garner higher rates of pay. Instead of struggling for media attention, the media will come to you.
From my friend Steven E, The Bestseller Guru:
The best thing you can do is become a best-selling author and get momentum with your book. Part of the best seller process is to learn how to be in the top 80% of authors who can sell books. Shortly after we took our first book to the best seller list, we earned over a quarter of a million dollars in 7 days because of our momentum.
We promise you this will be the best thing you can do. Become a best-selling author. We have helped over a 1,000 authors be best sellers in our Wake Up Live the Life You Love book series with our proven book marketing and publicity system. Now we can do it with your book. For a limited time, you can take advantage of a special group program to help you become a best-selling author for only $2,997.
Our first best-selling book in the series hit number 1 on the top 100 list to become an instant best seller through BarnesandNoble.com the day it was released. It actually out-sold The Automatic Millionaire, The Da Vinci Code, The South Beach Diet, George Bush’s book, and Dr. Phil’s newest book at that time! Now, we want to do that for you so you can benefit from being a best-selling author.
