Four Biggest Mistakes Emerging Authors Make - Even If They Are Professional
You want to be a best selling author. Let’s say you have an idea for a problem solving book
Think about these four mistakes emerging authors make before you act on your book project or ebook project.
Mistake1. They don’t know their book’s many benefits and features. Knowing these first before you write a chapter assists you in writing a focused, well-organized, compelling book that speaks directly to your potential buyer. If readers realize the book’s benefits they are more likely to buy now and tell their friends to buy too.
Mistake 2. They don’t have a book plan beyond a good idea for a book, a rough chapter outline, and notes on a book they have written. If you want your book to get read you need to answer all of your customer’s questions. When a book coach guides you in this process, you write consistent chapters that practically write themselves with half the edits you usually have.
Mistake 3. They have the idea but don’t know their target audience first. It’s always better to know what an audience wants, then write the book for them. When you write too general of a book with a variety of audiences, it’s much harder to speak to each audience in each chapter. If you leave one audience out, even in a single chapter, this audience will not think the book is for them.
Mistake 4. They don’t realize today’s audience wants shorter books, and will print eBooks (edocuments) under 100 pages. A book coach can show you how to write your print and eBook at the same time. You don’t have to publish with a traditional publisher either. The shorter route is self-publishing. Find out about how it works before you chase a route that won’t suit you. Even if you are not a techie, learn from a mentor on how you can get your book out directly from your home or office.
If authors want their book project or chapter project to succeed, they need to include all the essential book elements that make it sell well. Follow a mentor’s ezine to get their message. Take action after your intention to write a book. The world is waiting for your book. So ready to get started?
