How to Write a Book Like a Pro to Finish Stronger and Sell Longer

Is your book manuscript as professional and compelling as it could be? Tell the truth; could it use some work to make it crisp and compelling? Yes. Keep reading if you need some tips to make your book writing pull readers in by the collar. Also, you’ll discover how to write a book that keeps them reading to the end.


Use the tips below to help you write your book like a pro and finish stronger to sell longer:


1. Write your book title to capture your reader’s attention.


Professional writers know the power wielded through a hot title. They realize a dud title versus a sizzler title can cause their book to plummet or soar in sales. Knowing this, you owe it to yourself and book’s success to develop your best title. After all, the better your title the more people will reach out and grab your book to read. Develop your book title to have top seller status.


2. Develop your opening paragraph with a hook.


Many unseasoned writers don’t realize the importance of starting with a hook (something to capture your reader’s attention and entice them to read further.) Create a sizzling start. Hook your readers through emotion. Slant your book or introduction with a question or an amazing statistic. Share the top benefits of your book early. Target the ‘You’ in every reader.


3. Write a 1-2 sentence thesis for your book.


Following your short introduction including your hook (opening statement), write your thesis. Make it simple; let your readers know what benefits await them if they keep reading. For example, one author friend uses sizzling bullet points to entice the reader into the chapter.


4. Write each chapter to support your thesis.


Experts know a book centered around one central become top sellers. Write a thesis for your book as a whole and each chapter. Book writing with a thesis will help you create a more compelling, organized and easy to read book.


5. Write your book with the self-editor off.


Don’t try to write your book and self-edit as you go. It slows you down and may even make you lose momentum. Get it out on paper then self-edit for re-writing. Get feedback from your friends and associates. A writer’s group is a good place to get feedback. Then invest in a professional editor.


6. Shorten your book introduction.


Entice your reader with the main benefit (main central thought) early to keep them reading. Write the rest of your piece to support your main central thought. Sprinkle the rest of the benefits throughout your copy in descending priority.


7. Slash passive structures.


Use emotional, power verbs to show instead of tell. Passive sentences slow and dull your writing. Get rid of the passive voice sentences. Give your sentences a clear subject and a verb to avoid the passive voice. “The writer found fame and fortune through marketing her books online.” instead of “The writer’s books were instrumental in leading her to fame and fortune.” Avoid connecting verbs like ‘was’, ‘is’, ‘had’, and ’seemed’.


If you don’t put these how to write a book tips into practice you could end up this time next year still writing dull, boring copy for your book. Instead, you could take my advice and attract a host of ezine publishers, other web sites and book readers searching for more of your material?


The best part is they’ll come prepared to pull out their card and buy because your writing caught their attention and kept it. Now go; write your book like a pro to finish stronger and sell longer.

How to Write a Book to Sell the Minute You Publish It

Will you dream a bigger dream with me? Imagine thousands of people buying your book all over the world in the coming year. Furthermore, they love it and write you about how it has helped them. They even email all their friends about your insightful book. Sound far fetched? Believe it; it could happen to you! Keep reading only if you want to write your message in a way that sells the minute you publish it.


To start, every part of your book should be a compelling part of your message. Every part should be written passionately and designed to be a sales tool. Yes, you read right. It should be designed to sell your message. Touch your readers’ emotion with passion for your topic and you’ll sell more books. In fact, when you write your book to include the passion points below, you’ll sell more books than you dreamed.


Passion Point 1 Write Your Book’s Central Statement.


Write your book’s central thought or main point into a 1-2 sentence thesis. This short thesis proclaims the general mission of your book. If you want your readers to keep reading to the end, write tightly focused copy. Make every sentence and every chapter support your thesis statement. Better yet, if you’re writing your book fast, use the question-answer method where the thesis is the main solution your book offers.


Passion Point 2 Direct Your Book to Help One Niche Audience.


I hate to hurt your feelings but not everyone will want to read your book. Even so, I am convinced there’s a community of people in your field waiting for you to solve their problem. What problems does your message solve for them? Develop an audience profile (picture) and keep it in front of you as you write. That way you can visualize a real person to solve problems for.


Additionally, knowing your market before you write helps you write focused, compelling chapters. Writing to a specific person will keep your readers reading to the end. Write too general and they may fall asleep and never come back to your book after they wake.


Passion Point 3 Sizzle Your Book Title and Cover.


Your title may well be 90% of the pulling power for your book. Researchers say you have around 4-6 seconds to hook your potential buyer. An excellent title is short. and benefit driven. Don’t forget to heat them up with emotion. Use terms your audience can relate to. Use action words and verbs.


Quantify change with ways and time limits. Use one or two word ideas to tell a story. Pledge change. Spark interest. Instead of “How to Write an E-book” an author friend chose the title “Ten Secrets to Write Your E-book Like a Winner.” She quantified change, sparked interest and branded her title.


Passion Point 4 Invest In Your Front Cover.


Have you seen the sign: We Buy Ugly Houses? Based on the company’s popularity, it works for them. But it doesn’t work in the book business. Ugly book covers get overlooked. Well designed book covers sell! Hire a professional book cover designer to help you.


Professionally designed covers costs from $130-1400 or more. The cover of your book helps make the important first impression with readers and even book-sellers. Remember, the attention of your potential customer is captured largely and first by the cover design.


Passion Point 5 Compose Your Book Back Cover Before You Write.


This is ranked the second most important “Passion Point” for your book. Think about it in choosing a book to read for yourself, how many times did the title and front cover hook your interest enough to pick it up? Then usually you turn it over to see if you really want to read it.


On the back cover, you put the most compelling ad copy, benefits, testimonials, and a small blurb (bio) about yourself. If your prospective buyer likes it they will buy instantly. If they need more nformation to make the decision they will preview your introduction and table of contents.


No matter how good your book is, if you don’t use the above simple tips in setting it up you may never sell as many books as your message deserves. Start today. Enthusiasm and passion are contagious. Write your book to sell the minute it’s published. Dream a bigger dream; fill it with enthusiasm and passion for your topic than sell more books than even you dreamed.
