I believe good books should sell.

You’ve written your book. Now, how do you sell it?

If you’re like me, you’re a bit of an idealist. You have a big vision for your book. You poured your heart and soul into writing it. You’ve done everything you can to make it as good as it can possibly be. Now you’re ready for it to start touching lives.

You can probably think of half a dozen books that have become part of the grain of your life, because they gave you exactly what you needed at the time—whether it was a feeling, an experience, a different perspective, or just the information you needed to unlock your next possibility.

That’s what we all want, isn’t it? That’s why we write: We want to impact readers. And sometimes it’s the simplest books that are the most powerful.

A great book is a gift to the world and a slice of immortality. Whether it’s a vicarious experience in the form of a novel, or exactly the information your readers need to make their lives better, your words have the potential to become part of your readers and live on inside them.

But writing is only the first step. Once you’ve written the book, you still need to get it into readers’ hands. Most writers have no idea how to do this. I’ve certainly been there. I was the quintessential writer and dreamer who fully expected my books to take off, just because they were good. Oh yeah, and Amazon is magical. What more could I need?  :^\

If you’re ready to learn how to make your books sell, you’re in the right place. (If you’d rather hire someone to do it, I can help you with that, too!) Read on for the story of Project Bestseller and why I’m so fired up about this.

About

Helping people finish and publish their books is one of the most fun careers I’ve ever had. Yet for years, with all the clients I had and all the fantastic books we published, I never made a bestseller.

One day, I was watching this cheesy webinar with a loud, phony, arrogant presenter, promising bestseller status—guaranteed! All you have to do is pay $4000 to attend his event, be one of 100 students, and buy everyone else’s books while they all buy yours. That way, everyone becomes a bestseller! (At least for an hour.)

Watching this guy’s pitch, I got mad. If he could take a bunch of randos off the street and make them all bestsellers, why were none of my books bestsellers?

I realized that if he could guarantee bestseller status to every one of his clients, there had to be a system for making it happen—and people with good books could use it, too. I set out to find that system.

Project Bestseller is my quest to make bestsellers—and, more importantly, long-sellers.

When I started Project Bestseller, my personal goal was to increase my income from book royalties and e-product sales to $6,000/month (enough to cover my business and personal expenses). That was in 2018, and at the time, it seemed like an impossible dream. Now I’m living it!

That’s what success looks like for me. I’d love to help you find what it looks like for you. You’re welcome to come along on the adventure!

What, How & Why

What is simple: Project Bestseller is about marketing books so that they become bestsellers. More importantly, it’s about building author platforms and long-term success. We’re building books that sell well over time, generate income for their authors, and create a lasting impact for their readers.

How? The surface answer to this question is:

  • researching best practices for marketing books
  • building an author platform to build loyalty and reach
  • optimizing marketing elements such as keywords, categories, and sales copy
  • leveraging promotion and advertising to generate sales at a profit

A deeper answer is: with strategy, curiosity, and intense passion. If you want to make a quick buck or execute like your hair is on fire, I’m not your girl. I do everything as an art project, and I have the gift of perfect timing (which is rarely the same as the planned timing).

Why? I believe that everyone can have a life of joy, meaning, and freedom. I believe it’s possible for everyone, and we all deserve it. It happens by doing Your Thing and immersing yourself in it. By creating bestsellers, I’m helping people live their dreams and create heaven on earth by doing Their Thing full-time. This is my “big why,” and it guides and unites everything I do.
