I was hanging out on Twitter this evening tweeting with some people who stated they wanted to write a book, most had felt that for years…yet they had not yet (and perhaps would never) realize the dream they had to have their own book, ebook or non-fiction information product.
Too bad, a good many of them were pretty fed up with their current lives – some were bored, others were completely stressed out and still others simply felt unfulfilled in their current jobs and life outside of work.
Why hadn’t they taken up the challenge and get started writing their own book?
There were different reasons, but in every case the very thought of spending months and months trying to craft 200 pages into something that was both readable and that would appeal to an audience was enough to keep the most productive person from ever realizing their dreams of authorship.
Easing The Pressure And Getting Your Book Written
Runners, you didn’t go out and run a marathon the very first try did you?Â
Cooks and chefs don’t immediately master the art of French cooking – it takes a step-by-step approach to master anything worth having in life.
Same thing goes when you set out to write a book.
With non-fiction books where you are trying to help someone be, do, have, feel or become something they desire or overcome a challenge in their life…you are in fact answering several questions that your market has about your topic so why not separate those questions into separate 15-page chapters and further, into 2-3 page articles that you can sit down and write in 15-minutes or less?
Imagine getting up at 6:30AM for the next two weeks and actually writing 14 2-3 page articles (for the math wizards out there you’ll realize this will give you 28-42 pages of fresh content for your new book) – you are only a few hours away from having a completed 50-75 page ebook, book or information product to sell online.Â
Yes, top selling books and ebooks can be written in 2-3 weeks – even on a part-time basis. We’ve done it 12 times now and have interviewed many others who have developed their own information products within weeks — many of the techniques we use and interviews are contained within this Information Marketing Resource Site.Â
Not only is the task of writing one specific article with a very focused objective much simpler than trying to write 2-3 pages of a 100-page book, easing up on your objective for the day will free your mind, remove the stress and open your mind and body up to actually making progress in your quest to write a book.
