Do you want to write a book? Many people do, but the idea of sitting down to write for months and years before they finish their book puts them off. What if I could show you an easy way to write your book, and sell it, in a week? That might make it easier for you, and encourage you to get started writing.

Firstly, something about me. I wrote my first book in the 1970s, and have written and sold many books. In the past several years, I’ve managed to short-cut the process, thanks to the power of the online world. Nowadays, you can write fast and sell fast.

Why do you want to write at book length? Perhaps your career demands it. Perhaps you’re looking for a way to make money from home. Or perhaps you’re in marketing, and know that you can portray yourself as an expert, when you become an author.

Let’s look at a simple process which will allow you to write — and sell — your book in a week.

1. Get your “must read idea.” Your first step is to get an idea for a book which has many potential readers. (You can skip this step if you already have an idea.) Browse the bookstore shelves. Alternatively, make a list of topics which interest you, and then check to see whether people are searching for this topic online.

I encourage you to select a topic quickly. You’re learning a simple process, which you can repeat many times to write many books. Browse the shelves at your local library to get ideas.

2. Now you need to do two things: write an outline of your book’s chapters — just a list, keep it brief — and start a blog on the topic you’ve chosen. A blog will get you both readers and feedback. Having readers convinces publishers that your book idea is worthwhile.

There’s no need to blog at length. A few posts are fine. Write them while you’re writing a quick outline of the chapters which your book will contain.

3. Choose a couple of hot areas from the chapter ideas you’ve created, and write a short ebook — aim for 20 pages. Your aim in writing this electronic short version of your material is just to get some sales — and then a publisher.

In this article, I’ve shown you a very simple way in which you can write fast, and can sell your book. Although this method is very simple, it’s also powerful — get started today.

As of today I’ve been writing books for 30+ years, and selling them online for nearly 15 years, and previously only in print through selling foreign licenses, or printing them myself, advertising them, and selling them either online or in classes I taught. Now things are changing.

Now there is a better way. If you have something you want to say, you can put it in print, or sell it online and there is no difficult about doing that. If you don’t know where to start, there are writing coaches that can give you a hand by discussing topics, subjects, and what you are passionate about.

Just tell a provider of services what you want to say, and they’ll write it for you. There is a little company we know of that does that for English writers, www.lifeimprovementbooks.com. And another for Spanish writers, www.ipublicidades.com . And they have done work for several authors around the world for several years. They have a team of writers in English, Spanish, and French that can help you tell your story. Many companies exist to help beginning authors, and the ones that help that most are the ones who ‘draw out’ what you want to tell your readers easily.

If you’ve already created a draft of your book, you are more than 50% there. The next step involves editing, proofreading, refining, and creating a proper layout for book printing or putting it online or on Kindle.

With these professional services type of company, the layout of your own book is relatively inexpensive, takes only a few days, and can be delivered ready to print to the printer of your choice. Don’t know which printer to use? Or, only need a very few copies, or just one copy of a special book for a friend – not a problem. Don’t know what size to print. Here’s a general rule of thumb: Workbooks for workshops, A4 or 8.5″ x 11″, Executive paperback of technical value 7″ x 10″, Highest Quality Paperback for Self-Help or Fiction 6″x9″, Mass market paperback 5.5″ x 8.5″ or smaller. And yes, you can get just ONE copy printed if that’s all that you need.

In today’s book publishing industry, if you need a private edition for your family tree and history for 10 members – not a problem. If you are going to teach a private class to 4 students and you need a 500 page manual – not a problem. If you want to sell one book at a time from your website, to a person interested in it in Timbuktu – not a problem.

And if you want your book on Amazon.com for sale – or Amazon Kindle books – also not a problem. The world is changing and the book printing and distribution industry as well. And if you just want one copy for the world to remember you by, just sign it and put it in your time capsule – not a problem.

From writing, to editing, proofing, translating, typesetting, printing books, distributing online, or through Amazon – the world has changed. And the author inside of your that may have been restricted by past technological restrictions has been, at last, set free to share his or her wisdom with the rest of the world, one copy at a time.

Become an author – easily without stress. It’s easy to do, one copy or a million, on the internet or on Amazon. Release the inner author inside you!
