Everybody has a book in them that Somebody wants to read. Anybody can Write a book, But Nobody can read a book that's never been written!~ Johnny Macknificent Mack
Statistics show that over 90% of the population thinks they have a Book in them that SOMEBODY wants to read. But let's be brutally honest:
- Only 2-3% of the Aspiring Authors actually Produce and Publish a book
- The average Self-Published book only sells between 100-500 copies
- Most Self-Published Authors don't have a system to market their book
- All too many Self-Published books are poorly written, poorly formatted, have too many errors and mistakes, are not edited and look "Homemade"
Most Aspiring Authors have neglected the basics when it comes to publishing
- No or Poor research
- Unclear target market
- No launch strategy
- No marketing plan
- No email list
Once Family, Friends and close Associates purchase the book, it languishes there like a dead albatross. The biggest obstacle to publishing success is the lack of a clear and concise plan. GPS (Get Published Successfully) starts with the End Result in mind. In other words, we ask the important questions first:
Why are you writing this book
Who will be your Target audience
What is your Publishing Budget
Is there a desire or demand for your book
Who will be your Publishing Team
Once these core questions are honestly answered, you then begin the publishing process. You will need several key members on your team
- An editor
- A graphics person
- A formattor
- A proofreader
- A publicist
- Photographer/Videographer
- A Printer
To approach the publication process without these seven positions intact will create a poorly produced product that will expose you as a novice at best. Some things require professional and expert assistance. You can through trial and create a decent self-published book. If you plan on defying the odds and making a sustainable income from your intellectual property...hire a publishing coach and invest in your brand.
