9 Reasons to Become a Bestselling Author

As I am working on my next book, I feel inspired to share with you 9 reasons to become a bestselling author.

Most people I know of have a secret desire to write a book. To be published. However, most people don’t get around to it because it takes a huge commitment to get to the last word. But what if you could write a chapter in a multi-author book that satisfies this desire? Plus it could be the springboard for your solo book. In fact, many authors who participate in a multi-author book, feel inspired to summons the commitment to write their solo book.

I have recently started my own publishing company, Soul Purpose Publishing, and published my first multi-Author Book, which hit #1 Bestseller in the US and Australia on launch day. It is called, My Mess is My Message — inspiring stories by incredible women who found purpose and prosperity through adversity. We were 17 authors who had a blast co-creating this amazing book.

LEAVE YOUR LEGACY

Sharing your story about who you are, where you’ve been, and how you got where you are now, is your legacy. All of us have a story and most people have a deep desire to write a book. Yes, you can share your story on social media and to your email list, but that is fleeting. There is such an overload of information, that your story, however amazing it is, is quickly forgotten. A book, on the other hand, is forever. For years to come, your story will be read and appreciated by someone.

RELATE TO YOUR CLIENTS

We all love stories and telling a story is a definite way of capturing someone’s attention. That’s because we paint a picture with a story. Using your senses, you take them on a journey of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling what you want them to. And most importantly, feeling what you want them to feel. When people are moved reading your story, feeling your pain, sensing your vulnerability, and rejoicing with you, they not only identify with you, they feel safe that you are real. Sharing your story with your clients, and potential clients shows them that you have been where they are. That you know their pain and that you can show them the way to the other side.

COMMAND AUTHORITY, CREDIBILITY, SOCIAL PROOF

Adding Bestselling Author to your name immediately elevates your brand to an authority in your niche. You are taken as a credible source because you have demonstrated that you know what you are talking about. People buying your book counts as social proof and receiving ratings and reviews is icing on the cake.

BOOST YOUR SELF-IMAGE AND CONFIDENCE

There is something incredible that happens to how you see yourself having accomplished bestselling author status. Say goodbye to imposter syndrome. Say goodbye to doubting yourself as an authority in your work. You find that you stand taller and show up with more confidence in everything you do. You also find that you take more risks stepping out of your comfort zone because you have a different view of what you are capable of.

RAISE YOUR PRICES

With your deserved authority, credibility, social proof, and elevated self-image, you feel ready to raise your prices. If you had any doubt before about charging more, that totally evaporates. This is because you have expanded your consciousness, your vibration set-point has climbed a notch or more and you energetically hold the success of receiving more money in your body.

PODCAST GUEST AND HOST

Podcast hosts love to talk to bestselling authors. It makes their show more compelling when the podcast notes mention that a bestselling author is a guest. You also can command to be a guest on a higher-level podcast. Hosts with a huge following now have a space for you, where before you wouldn’t have made the cut. It works the other way too if you have your own podcast, so you can feel comfortable getting some big names or bigger names than before as your guests.

SPEAKING GIGS, MEDIA, TV

Having a Speaker One-Sheet that states you are a bestselling author, opens doors like never before. Now with the world opening up and offline conferences, workshops and seminars are reclaiming their popularity, you are eligible to share the stage with big names. This is also true for virtual events. With the status as a bestselling author, you are a publicist’s dream to get you booked everywhere you can shine.

ELEVATING YOUR BRAND AND VISIBILITY

You are no longer who you were. You are someone else. You are a better version of yourself. You are being noticed. You as your brand are getting noticed. The idea of you and your brand are elevated and are now deemed with more respect. Your presence adds value to lots of people and you are in demand. This gives you the opportunity to radically expand your impact, making a difference to people who were not in your audience before.

PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION

Embarking on this journey of sharing your very personal story with the world out there, you will experience a personal transformation. As you are writing and recalling everything that happened, you realize how amazing you are, seeing where you are now. By writing it down, you also go through a process of letting go of the past and forgiveness of yourself and others. Like a butterfly, you emerge from this process, owning your story and free to step into your power.

WHAT IS REQUIRED FROM YOU?

To become a bestselling author requires an investment from you.

You must have something to sell when the book is launched because the book is a business card for your business.

To participate in a multi-author book, your story or chapter must fulfill the promise or theme of the book and you need to have a successful business and following.

WHY USE AN INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER INSTEAD OF A BIG-NAME PUBLISHING HOUSE?

You must be really already hugely successful before you will be discovered and published by a big-name publishing house.

The second very important reason is that when you work with an independent publisher like me, you own your book, and you get all the royalties. You also have a say in every facet of your book.

When you get published by a big name, they own your content, and you don’t have any say in your book.
