Write a Bestselling Book that Will Sell for a Decade, Part 3

Write a Bestselling Book that Will Sell for a Decade, Part 3

Books that earn the most (from royalties as well as additional income streams) provide a formula to the reader. When crafting your contents, just going along with anecdotes and stories can be great, but it won't necessarily engender itself to the long-term and large income you want.

Some of the bestselling books of all time (that are also best earning) provide a formula.

Here are a few of my favorites:

I'm going to share something, and I mean it in the best possible way: People love to be told what to do, and when, and (in some cases) why. With a clear direction and excellent directions, your readers will avoid confusion (a confused mind shuts down) and be able to duplicate or even exceed your results.

To write a best earning book, consider the structure you're already using, personally or with clients. Make sure they can remember it (it should be simple, like the Life SAVERS), do it (it needs to be easy enough they can be successful right from the beginning), and share it (the number one way readers discover a book is by personal recommendation). Bonus points if your formula can be shared with a word or acronym.

Having a formula in your book is your best earning book's formula for success!

Agree! This genre is very popular and profitable. I took this idea for my golf books and gave it a spin by turning it into educational fiction. Think Emily Post meets Caddyshack! 📖🏌️♂️
