Recently, I held a free teleseminar to teach authors how to become an Amazon.com bestseller. Not only have I achieved bestseller status on Amazon.com, I have helped several clients do the same. I was amazed at how many people registered for my free call. Between this one and another I hosted a few weeks ago, I had over 1,750 people who registered.

I held the calls to educate authors and soon to be authors on what it takes to rise on the charts of Amazon. The information comes from my own success as an author and having coordinated numerous campaigns for clients. Every time I coordinated a campaign I received multiple inquiries from authors who wanted a similar outcome as the client I had just worked with.

Although every campaign I have coordinated has been successful and my clients have reached #1 in various categories on Amazon, the reality is that for many authors my fees are prohibitive. Also, I feel for most authors I offering a better service for their particular needs by teaching them how to coordinate their own campaign. You see, many authors have no idea where to begin when it comes to marketing their book.

I believe that almost anyone can become a best-selling author regardless of genre. It's simply a matter of how much you want this and if you are willing to do what it takes. It takes vision, planning, time and effort. Rising on the Amazon charts is not a get rich quick deal, nor is it an end all be all. It's a means to an end and a very strategic marketing process that creates amazing opportunities for you as an author, consultant, public speaker or entrepreneur.

It's not the bestseller status that's going to bring you more business and more money; it's what you do with the status that will make all of the difference. Here are a few outcomes you can achieve by becoming a visible author; something an Amazon campaign can do for you.

Speakers

As a speaker you can not only get paid for a speaking engagement, you can also sell your book(s) back of the room. I know many authors who have sold hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands of dollars worth of books at just one engagement. One colleague of mine sold $23,000 worth of books after a 35 minute presentation.

If a company does not have a budget to pay a speaker you may be able to negotiate with a meeting planner that the company or organization purchase a book for every person in attendance. The money might come out of the educational budget rather than a training budget. After all, books are educational.

With the economy forcing many companies to forego any type of training, you can host your own speaking engagement and require each person who attends to purchase a book. If pre-selling is not what you want to do you can make your books available for purchase at your event.

Coaches and/or Coach

As a bestselling author you are perceived as more of an expert. This is a great way to gain visibility and credibility during a time when there are countless other coaches and consultants vying for the same business you are. Imagine how much easier it would be to secure top notch business when you are viewed as a credible expert. A book (and a bestseller) can do this for you. That is, if you know how to position this status.

Long-term vision

To optimize rising on the charts of Amazon.com you need to look at this with a long term view. If you have a plan in place you can open up a world of opportunity like never before. It's simply a matter of knowing what you want and taking action on this.

Over the last few years a countless number of authors have utilized the power of the Internet to market and sell their books. The question that begs to be answered is this, "Are online book launches a viable way to market your book?"

Absolutely! However, you will find criticism from some who believe this is not a valid way of selling books while others feel this is an incredibly effective way to promote, sell and profit from your book.

With my book launch of The Law of Achievement we sold over $22,000 in a 24 hour period. To say that this is not a viable way to market and sell books is beyond my scope of comprehension.

Every author needs to determine for themselves if this is a good fit.

The fact is, most books never make any money and countless authors do not take responsibility for marketing their books. They write the book and hope it will somehow sell itself. Or they assume the publisher will do all the marketing. Although some publishers will help with marketing, others do not.

Regardless of who publishes your book, the more you know about marketing, online strategies, becoming visible and profitable, the better off you will be.

Setting a success timeline

Giving yourself enough time to handle all the details of the campaign is essential to your success. It is better to take as much time as you need to do things right rather than rushing through and experiencing less than stellar results.

As an author you have some amazing opportunities if you know how to optimize your position, beyond being an author it is to become a bestselling author.

There are many lists that one can make it on to become a bestseller. One of the ways I really enjoy and recommend to my clients is to utilize what the Internet has to offer to get you to the top of the two top online bookstores.

There are occasions where an online bestselling campaign can be the impetus for a book to become visible in such a way as to be picked up by a foreign publisher, major U.S. publisher, agents and publicists. However, don't expect this to happen with each and every book that is launched through an online campaign.

Although virtually any book could become an online bestseller, if the book is not a stellar book you may actually be setting yourself up for a huge failure. What I mean by this is after the fact of the campaign; people will view a poorly written, edited and published book as representative of you and your quality of work; which it is.

Avoid the urge to do an online book launch thinking you can throw together a poor quality book, become an online bestseller and suddenly you are discovered, end up on Oprah and live happily ever after. It doesn't work this way.

I recall one author who was convinced that her "journal" book could do well in a campaign. She wanted me to be a Joint Venture partner by contributing a bonus gift and helping her to promote her book on a specific day.

I asked her to send me a copy of her journal book in order to determine if this was a viable book to promote. Upon receiving the "book" I immediately saw that this was not going to do well. It was a spiral bound book consisting of about 80 blank pages with the same small design on each page and a cover that looked like a child had used clip art to design it. Not much more was in the book other than a poorly written bio of the author.

Sure, she may have sold lots of books in a campaign, but the fact was she would have lost a lot of credibility from those who purchased the $20 item. It was not worth more than a few dollars at best and had no real sustaining value.

So make sure you have a great book, topic of interest, visionary marketing plan and a well executed campaign. With these elements you can create incredible opportunities for yourself, your book and your business.
