Most people never write a book because they see the problems associated with both ways of getting a book published and they stop trying. If you try the big New York publisher route, the first step of finding an agent is not easy and it's extremely difficult to get the publisher to take a book and pay an advance.
If you attempt the self-publishing route you are faced with a very steep learning curve to begin with as you must fast dozens of technical difficult duties. And the cost for this route is between $30,000 and $40,000 by the time you are finished.
Thankfully for the intelligent person who wants to not only write a book but use it to make money, there is a new alternative. There are three book publishing methods that everyone can use to get rid of the problems and reap the benefits.
Strategy 1 - Retain your copyrights if at all possible
Being in control and making money from your book are the two biggest benefits to seek. You will enjoy these two self-publishing benefits if you find a New York Publisher that doesn't buy the copyright to your book, but instead encourages you to use as much of the content of your book as you want to create other products that will make you money.
2nd Strategy - Secure the largest breadth of distribution possible for your book.
The New York Publisher's biggest benefit is the extensive distribution of your book. Sustaining high sales is possible if you proactively choose a publisher with wide dissemination. This will exponentially increase your income because you will sell other products on your website, and each book that is sold in a bookstore will bring the reader back to the site.
Strategy 3 - Create a book marketing plan that turns your book into a business.
Another great benefit of choosing a New York Publisher is a good marketing plan, but you?re going to take it to a new level. From the beginning of your book idea, turn it into a bestselling business. You will being making money long before your book is actually published. This could bring in more profit than you?d ever get from the advance of a publisher. And you?ll reap the benefits of high sales because off of your products will sell the book when it is printed and ready to be shipped.
ACTION POINT: Proactively looking for the right publisher by using the 3 strategies above will give you the best of both worlds when it comes to writing a book. You will be making money throughout the entire process of creating a book idea into a New York Times Bestseller. You will have the ability to not only create an automatic bestseller, but to earn a passive 6 or 7-figure income as well.
