Ideas, tips, and tools for planning your book publishing success
Resources for planning your way to book publishing success Successful books are not "written" as much as they are planned. The ability to write, by itself, is no guarantee of success. Well-intentioned authors who write the wrong books, i.e., books that readers aren't interested in buying or that duplicate existing books, are setting themselves up for disappointment. "Big 4" planning questions The resources in Step 1 provide you with the information you need to create a strong foundation for your book publishing program. When you're finished with this step, you'll have answered the 4 critical questions needed to move forward in the right direction. Here are the 4 biggest planning questions that we help you answer:
- What are your writing goals? Start by analyzing why you want to write a book and how you expect to benefit from your book. For most business and career-oriented individuals, a published book is a tool to achieve specific goals. To succeed, you have to identify those goals so you can make decisions based on achieving your goals.
- Who are your intended readers? Next, identify your intended readers, their characteristics, and their goals. You need to know whom you're writing for so you can write a book that they want to read! This involves identifying the characteristics of your most desired readers, and the problems they want to solve and the goals they want to achieve.
- What is your book about? It's important that you begin to identify the topic, or focus, of your book as soon as possible. We'll show you how to analyze existing books on the topic and search for "the book that hasn't been written yet," a uniquely-positioned book that satisfies both your goals and your reader's goals.
- Which publishing option is best for you? In order to avoid later frustration, it's important to choose the publishing option that works best for you, taking into account both your goals and your resources.
Once you have answered the 4 above questions, you'll be ready to move on to the writing stage which involves choosing the right title for your book and organizing your book's contents. Preview Here are a couple of planning resources you can preview in Published & Profitable's Sample Contents Area.
