Have you started your book yet? No, why not? Perhaps you hesitate for the same reasons many of us hesitated. You wonder, "Will my book sell in a crowded book market?" Good question. Everyone wants to know before they invest time, effort and most of all money. Here are a few tips to help you know if your book will sell well before you even write it. Give your manuscript the test of significance. Write your book to meet two to three areas to achieve significance in the book marketplace. To make sure your book passes the test of significance, does it offer:
1) Original, different information.
Have you wondered what makes a new diet book sell well even when there are scores of diet books on the market? The author presents their unique set of successful diet rules, their exercise program, their perspective, their testimonials and their credentials. They use original, different information for the same results.
2) Inspire people to do something good.
Weave inspiring stories into your book and sell more. The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership spent 18 straight months on the Business Week Business Best Seller List. Dr. Maxwell started each chapter with a short story of a famous person successfully using the chapter's law of leadership.
3) Entertainment, humor or fun.
Do you have a talent to make people laugh? Use it in your book. Provide a little oasis of escape for your readers. People love it when you entertain them. Intertwine funny stories into your non-fiction manuscript. Entertain them, make them laugh; they'll love you for it. Best of all, they will have fun telling all their friends about your funny book.
4) Greater understanding of life.
Have you been gifted with a deep understanding of life? Put small excerpts of your understanding throughout your book. Sprinkle your quotes along with other famous philosophers or world thinkers within your book.
