How to be a Best-Selling Self-Published Author

Take that book you've wanted to write out of the desk drawer, now. Get the title of your book in mind that excites you and one that will excite the reader. Try out many titles first and get responses from friends, relatives or loved ones. Get copyright form from Library of Congress online for media category and pay about $35 to register it. Write on the topic to which you are familiar with, passionate about and desire to share your truth about with others that you know will benefit them.

Ask guidance from within for the chapter titles and subheadings that are appropriate. Fill in the blanks from your knowledge and experiences relating to your best-selling book for each chapter. Proofread, proofread and proofread and use expertise of an editor. Use a software geared to book writing and formatting. Use a software that will format you book for paperback or hardcover and decide if you want a 5 ½” x 8 ½” size book, 6 “x 9”, etc.

You will have to decide on which kind of paper weight #50 or #55 lb weight and if you want to have illustrations, photographs or figures in your book.

Decide on the way that you wish to reap the benefits of the profits by self-publishing it yourself and decide whether or not to use print on-demand companies who would reap the benefits instead of you. They will take up to an 80% royalty for themselves and you'd have no guarantee that they will have any interest in marketing and promoting your book for or with you.

Proclaim all along at each step that your work is a best-selling book, be it non-fiction, fiction, romance, educational, etc. It is from the beginning of that thought you had that develops its matching vibration and the Law of Being or Law of Attraction propels you into that frequency of knowing and being. Keep that feeling strong.

Find a reputable company to print your book, one that’s been in the business for years and years like Cushing Malloy, or Morris Publishing. They only have your interest at heart and at doing a great job for you.

The latter company will send away for copyright forms for you, get an ISBN number for your book and other related minor but important things for you like a bar code. They will also offer cover designs for you that are customized just for you but that is not original. Other authors use the same template but it’s arranged for your cover material. They give you step by step directions on how to have them publish any photos you wish in the book and the payment they ask is reasonable, I feel for all the work they put into it for your best-seller.

With the former company for example, you give them your cover work and they cut to trim size to your desire, you give them a pdf file, they return it to you to check for any typos or formatting problems before they get set to print your best-seller. You order any number of books, minimum 250 you wish printed with them and the same with the latter company. You are given a publishing guide booklet which is excellent and it makes your book processing far less scarier in order to tackle the job you want done.

Even though I didn’t use the one company, they answered all my questions whenever I called them. I never felt that they felt, “We have to keep our information a secret.” I didn’t use them because I had my own cover design in mind for my book, and I knew how to take care of my own ISBN number and did my own copyright registration. I founded my own publications company, and it enabled me to apply for a Library of Congress Card Catalogue number so libraries could purchase and catalog it in their library easily.

These are only a few steps but if you start out confidently and steadily, you will have what you want and it won't be in the desk drawer any longer but on bookshelves, in bookstores selling and in homes benefitting people.

Things you will need to apply the techniques here:
Patience with yourself.
Patience with the process.
Desire to see the finished product in your mind’s eye and visualize.
Desire to serve others.
Copyright form.
An openness to the Universe when gifts are ready to be bestowed upon you because of your receptivity.

Tips:
Be ready for the beautiful journey and to where it will take you.
Realize you are the Best-seller expert on your topic.
Realize your future is now not in the distance and it’s because of what you do today that makes it so tomorrow.

DON’T allow yourself to be scammed by any company or anyone, meaning proported literary agents, self-publishing companies, marketing and publicity people etc.

Keep your Holy Spirit eyes opened at all times. You’ll know what feels right when you do.
