When we finally decide to act on our desire to write a book, it can be a painstakingly slow process – but here’s the crazy part – on average more than 90% of the ineffectivenss in book writing comes from…(non-fiction that is)
- Planning and re-planning the topic, changing your mind, topic and angle
- Starting and stopping, throwing away and re-starting
- Thinking about what to write
- Researching (which is fine), but over-researching because you don’t really know what you are going to write yet
- Asking people what they think before you’re done the first draft
- Writing way too many pages because you’re really not sure when to stop
No wonder we’re unable to write a book fast – we stack the deck against ourselves by constantly being confused about the intent and content of our next book, ebook or information product.Â
A MUCH BETTER WAY TO WRITE A BOOK FAST
Over at The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur’s Success Package the point is made that we first must follow some basic commercial principles on how to fine-tune our book topic and THEN we can make things so much easier on ourselves if we simply take the top 20 or 25 questions our market has about a topic and use that to outline our book.
Ok, so it takes an hour or two of organizing the questions into a coherent learning pattern, but basically you can take any topic that has demand for information (along with a proven buying pattern), dig into the market and uncover the top 20 questions, dedicate 2-3 pages to each answer and have a top-selling 50-60 page ebook, book, or even course inside of 45-days.
We’ve done it many times and so can you – it’s all explained in more detail inside this Information Product Publishing Resource Site.
