Write a Bestselling Book that Will Sell for a Decade, Part 4

Write a Bestselling Book that Will Sell for a Decade, Part 4

One of the reasons I love being an author is the personal connection I make with my readers. Whether they reach out via email, on social media, or I get to meet them in person, I feel so happy when someone tells me they've read one of my books and it has made a difference.

This has happened because of a concept I call "optimization."

Your book is optimized when you do some or all of the following:

  • Have solid front matter. Front matter is what goes before the content of the book that kick-starts the author-reader relationship. While traditional publishers are great at creating publisher-reader relationships (for more books by ABC Publishing, visit ABCPublishing dot com), you want to include a way for readers to connect with you even before they start reading.
  • Incorporate links within the manuscript that benefit the reader. Provide tools, resources, or a benefit (or several) to your readership.
  • Educate your readers about what you do within the manuscript. Share anecdotes and stories, personal examples, and be sure to include results.

The goal of optimization is to create an author-reader connection that is comfortable for the reader and provides a way for them to understand you're the expert, your intention is to be helpful, and if they want more from you, how and when they can get it.

Optimization is an often-missed opportunity by most authors. By enhancing these pieces of your book, you improve your chances of maximizing the book as well. More on that tomorrow!
