Best Selling Author

As authors, this is the ultimate goal: to be able to add the words, 'best selling author' to our resume`'s. Well, while it's not impossible, it does take much effort from you as the author. You have to believe in yourself enough to know that earning the title of best selling author is well within your reach. Here are three things you need to consider doing to help you achieve the status of, 'best selling author'.

1. Study other authors that have become best sellers. What are their habits? What do you see them doing on a consistent basis that you are not?
2. Revamp your marketing plan. What are you doing to get the word out about your book? Perhaps a simple tweak to your plan could help you find an untapped audience.
3. Explore all the sales channels. Your book is your product. You have to look at your book as a product that must be sold and look at all the areas of which you could do so.

You as the author have the power to take your book to a totally different level. The best selling author knows the value of hard work, dedication and determination, which you yourself must embrace. No book can sell millions without some work of the author, and no author can become a best selling author if no effort is made on their part.

So, get out your marketing plan and look for areas that can stand to be redone, then work on a realistic plan to gain more exposure for your book. Then, make a list of all the authors who have made the bestsellers list and study them. Learn what they do differently to enjoy massive book sales. And finally, explore every possible sales channel available for your book. Look for places less traditional to score sales you may have never imagined.
