Do you have important information you want to share with your clients?
Do you want to be recognized as an expert in your field?
Do you want to attract new clients?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions then you may be ready to write a
book or a booklet.
There is much preparation involved before you write your book. Writers rarely finish
writing their book unless they are fully prepared. Check out the information below
so that you can decide if you are ready to write your great book.
1. Your client must be hungry/starving/yearning for the information you
provide.
People will come to you to get a solution to their problem. What do people always
ask you? That is your area of expertise that you want to provide for your reader.
2. Provide 10 solutions to your clients' problems.
Name 10 problems that you can help your client solve. Now take a few minutes to
write them down in one sentence each so you will remember them. Did you get 10
listed? Congratulations! You now have 10 topics, an outline, or a Table of
Contents (TOC) for your book. It's a start. Your TOC will change as you write and
organize things, but you should be able to complete your book with 10 extremely
helpful topics for your client/reader.
3. Know your reader.
Do you know your audience? Your book must be addressed to the reader who will
benefit most from your information. Write to the people who need your expert
advice.
4. Gather your fact-finding information.
Do you have a collection of notes, information, clip articles, brochures, etc., that will
help you write your great book? Some writers gather information as they go along
and throw it in a box until they are ready to use it. When your fact-finding research
is at least 85% completed you will be ready to write your book. If you need help
with your research there are many students who would love to earn some extra
money helping you with your research. Check with your local library or community
college. You can also do a Google search for "work for hire agreement."
5. Develop an outline of the points you want to cover.
An outline is a map of your book. It is your guide to help you stay on track. If you
did #2 above then you have your outline.
6. Let someone else write your book if you are too busy.
Hire someone else write your book for you. Record your book idea over the
telephone. Get a friend to listen to you on the phone. You can have a great
conversation about the 10 topics for your book. Your friend will ask questions that
will help you. Get the information transcribed by a virtual assistant, college student,
or local secretarial service.
7. Writing your great book takes time and commitment.
No Time! That is the #1 reason why writers tell me they can't finish their book. Yet,
they barely started it. Things get in the way. There will always be other demands in
your life. Many times I find that writers do not have a plan of action and are not
prepared. Writing your great book must be one of the first 5 priorities in your daily
life. Ask anyone who has written and published a book. It takes time and
commitment. Can you commit a minimum of 10 hours per week? If you are an
average typist using a computer you should be able to write at least 20 pages a
week. At the end of a month you will have finished 80 pages!
You can get started writing your great book today with ease and confidence once
you have accomplished the activities mentioned above.
8. Your enthusiasm and passion is important.
It takes a lot of enthusiasm, motivation, and a belief in yourself that you can do it.
Ask a trusted friend to be your buddy while you are writing. Get started today.
