Are you ready to draw readers to your book like metal to a magnet? No worries; then you must do some things differently. You can't keep doing things the same and expect different results. That's insanity.
All it takes is a different perspective. Change your perspective; your important message and book will draw all the readers it deserves. Here are seven easy strategies that will stamp irresistible on your book.
Know your message is significant. Put away your fears and doubts once and for all. With all the great books written, there's only one voice that's uniquely yours. I am convinced there are people waiting for your perspective, your solution, or your message. They're waiting to be inspired, entertained or helped by YOUR book.
Write for your readers. Don't be self serving. Discover what your readers want. Then write a book filled with what they want to read. They will love you for it and read everything you write. To top it off, your book will make you famous and sell beyond your wildest dreams. All because you put aside what you wanted and gave your audience what they wanted to read.
Make it simple. Use simple language. Avoid technical jargon that may confuse your readers. Aim for seventh and eighth grade level communication. Write your book in an active voice. Cut the passive voice and create compelling copy.
Create readable copy. Don't bog your readers down with schoolbook terms and stuffy language. Choose words like caution instead of admonish or get instead of garner. Become a friendly mentor offering advice and results oriented tips inside your book and more people will be drawn to you and your writing.
Use stories. Tell stories in your book. Stories will help you connect with your readers on an emotional level. Many readers may not remember much of what you are teaching. Tell a story with your material; they will remember you and your stories.
Give application. More than anything, your readers want you to tell them how to do it in simple language. Whether you are explaining how to bath the baby or wash the puppy, people want you to give them step by step guidelines. Fill your book with application and you will win more readers.
Entertain your readers. Seek to entertain your readers. Use analogies, stories, illustrations and case studies. Even if it's a manual or a simple non-fiction book place interesting facts and statistics throughout. You can create teaser paragraphs or relief box stories. Relief from what you may ask? Relieve them from the important but boring details. Sprinkle theme stories related to your book's content in a box in each chapter. Boxing the story will give your reader a brief break from the normal reading.
If you don't decide to take the shorter easier route of writing an irresistible book, you may be this time next year still wondering if you should or shouldn't write a book. Don't hesitate any longer; write an irresistible easy book, attract more readers and profit sooner.
