The title, is my result 1 year after I hit publish of the book I have started working on exactly 10 hours from when I hit create thread, on this thread. This will act as my daily/weekly/monthly guide and I hope/know I can contribute some great information along the way for people to learn.
I have always loved to write, have even been told I should be a writer, something about my descriptions plunges the reader right in the middle of it all.
My goal- Make 500,000 sales in hard-copies within a year of self-publishing. Make 500,000-1,000,000 in sales for online versions.
This thread is to..from start to finish, outline what I am doing to make those 500,000 sales for a book I have yet to start writing. This 500,000 sales is to be for physical copies of the book, not online kindle books. Though, I feel I will keep track of those as well in the coming months and will set the 2nd goal of 500,000-1,000,000.
Rules To Meet Goals: I am to spend at least 1 hour per day for this single purpose and larger goal. This 1 hour is to have my complete and undivided attention, no distractions whatsoever. It is quality that I strive for, and as such, it is science which has proved- to do things in a single setting, the results of such setting are greater in quality as compared to it being done in pieces or sections with unnecessary breaks in between.
I will also share my new book title with 1 person on this forum- and who better than to share it with MJ DeMarco, with the bearing that it is not to be discussed with anyone furthermore. But, that is if he so chooses, and that will be exactly 24 hours before I hit put it up on Amazon or other forms/locations to be sold, to be discussed later.
I would like to say, thank you MJ DeMarco, for writing the Millionaire Fastlane. Never have I finished a book in a single day, it was just that darn good and informative.
Goals, to meet so as to meet Goal 1...
A. Choose a Purpose (projected 15 mins) I cannot do anything, or get anywhere if I have no single purpose to accomplish.
B. Choose a Theme (proj. 15 mins) How can I write without knowing what special angle will bring about my purpose?
C. Choose a Book Title (proj. 30 mins) A title, is a books gold. Changing the title and republishing the book, does in fact result in more sales, and does show that some title-types "sell" more than others.
D. Create an outline or a mind map of everything I can think of that would fit the books purpose. (proj.3 hours)
E. Organize the above and group them to create chapters. (proj. 2 hours)
I know 500,000 hard copies to be sold in a year may be "hard." I know 500,000-1,000,000 sales in electronic versions would likely be...double as hard- since its double the books? I need to remember those are just numbers.
One Plus Two, Does Not Equal 3. It Equals 10.
1 + 2 NOT EQUAL to 3.
Why? How? I need to remember the combination of unlike things creates or can create synergy and synergy is what can propel things and magnify things to catastrophic proportions.
There is always a process to forms of success. I leave nothing to chance, therefore luck does not exist! My deliberate action is... success.
--------------------------------
I added a poll...Do you believe I will accomplish my goal of 500,000 physical copies sold and 500k-1,000,000 sold electronically within the 365 days to come from the moment I hit publish/post it on amazon/anywhere else I deem it necessary? Please answer truthfully/honestly.
-----------
Goal 2...Get all those "no's" to a "yes" on a poll by the time I hit publish.
Updates soon.
Hope you all bookmark this. I'm going to walk mankind down the right path?
Edit: Note: I voted "Yes You Will Accomplish Your Goal."
ChickenHawk, thanks for the inspiration.
