Become a Best Selling Author in 6 Months

Become a best selling author in 6 months book cover

81% of Americans want to write a book. 15% start writing, and only 8% ever publish their book. Most people fail to write books, even if they want to. But why?

  • Limiting beliefs

  • Bias towards inaction

  • Lack of discipline

You feel like you can’t write a book, kick the can down the road and never start, or you don’t make the time to put in the consistent effort required. And it’s easy to understand why.

Turning the impossible into your reality

The average non-fiction book is between 50,000 and 75,000 words. It seems like a lot at a surface level. Breaking it down turns the impossible task into something that is achievable.

You can write 500 words a day for 100 days and reach 50,000 words.

Simple, but it’s an effective mindset shift.

You will never feel ready

You will never feel ready. It is a harsh reality that you need to face. Whether it is writing your book, taking an action on another goal, or starting a business you will never be ready. Uncertainty is something that you need to get used to, and fast.

Perfectionism is the issue. Being perfect or having the complete finished package is just an idea. It does not actually exist. Maybe you don’t want to fail or to get things wrong. But you don’t need the whole roadmap to be able to start. You just need to have clarity on what the next step is. Completing step 1 will lead you to clarity on step 2.

The step you need to take at the beginning is write. Embed writing into your routine, and don’t negotiate with yourself. When you say you will show up and write, you must show up and write. That is how you write a book in 6 months.

Become a Best Selling Author

90% of self-published books never make 100 sales. Don’t make your book a part of this statistic.

If you want to become a best selling author, you must:

  • Write a book people want to buy

  • Mobilize your network to purchase your book

  • Build relationships with your audience on social media

  • Play the Amazon game

  • Build your own media machine

  • Leverage the power of reviews

To do this you must:

  • Conduct market research with your target market

  • Create a content plan for social media

  • Build a social media audience

  • Select the right categories on Amazon

  • Ask people to review your book on Amazon

Actionable takeaways

  • Break down your goal into small chunks — write 500 words a day for 100 days to write a first draft in 3 months.

  • Create a bias towards action by showing up when you say you will.

  • Build and mobilize your audience to stack the odds in your favor of becoming a best selling author.
