Bestseller. How-To Guide.
I asked a good buddy who’s got a New York Times bestseller what I needed to do to get on the bestseller list. He grabbed me by both shoulders and looked soulfully into my eyes.
“Most of all,” he said dramatically, “write a better book.”
“Sure pal,” I thought (but did not say). “If I had hired Shakespeare, Hemingway or YOU I guess it could have been better. But I wrote the best book I could.”
As a result of that tip I still needed an answer I could work with. And so I asked another successful author what he would recommend I do to get on the bestseller list.
He stared at me too. “Just remember,” he said finally, “it’s called the bestseller list, not the best writer list.”
Now THAT’S advice I can work with.
Please don’t get me wrong. I believe I’ve written a damn good book. All About Them shows you how to succeed at the new realities of building your business and your brand. Furthermore, the folks who’ve already read it think so too. One well-known writer told me he picked up the pre-publication copy merely to flip through it. But he was so enthralled that he wound up reading the first 140 pages in one sitting.
Now that’s a nice compliment. But we’re shooting for bestSELLER, not best WRITER, aren’t we?
Therefore I’d like you to think this through with me. It seems that if I want to be a bestseller, I should incentivize you to order a lot of books. So I’ll make it worth your while to buy All About Them to read yourself, for your family, your employees, your customers, and everyone on your Christmas list.
