Test your book's significance -fun, humor You only need 2 significances to have a book that will sell. 2. Find your market before you write. Who out there needs or wants your information?

In my eBook "Write eBook or Other Book Fast" in ch. 3 --"The Essential Hot Selling-Points," I discuss how to gage which audience is best for your book. 3. Know your best audience. Remember the 100,000's Online too. Write your audience a letter on why you are writing the book and how it will benefit them. 4. Keep your book short. Most audiences want to learn something fast and easily. 5. Unleash your passion for at least 2 years for one book. Love your topic and don't quit. 6. Get some help with a book coach. Try an introductory 1/2 hour book coaching session for only $35. 7. Intend to have your book vision manifest. Know your book will be published, name your outcomes-- what you will hear, see, and feel now that it's done and people are reading it. When you write your book aimed at your best audience, and spend enough time on it, you can produce a successful E or print book.
