Slow and steady wins the race!Becoming a Bestseller Author Takes Years.Building up your readership takes lots of time, so it is surprising that some authors dream of their first book as a potential bestseller. They do not realize that it takes a long time, and hard work, to gain an audience - one reader at a time. It Takes Time… Many authors have totally unrealistic expectations when it comes to the time required for effective book promotion and making meaningful connections with readers. They expect wonders from a single sales campaign, and they do not understand that underpricing or “selling” for free is not a marketing strategy. Never stop LEARNING. Dedicated authors never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose: becoming a successful and maybe even a bestseller author, and learn how to professional self-publishing their books. Those who are not successful usually make the mistake of believing that the knowledge-acquiring period ends when one finishes their book. They do not make an effort to learn about publishing and book marketing as well.“If you can IMAGINE it, you can create it,” said Napoleon Hill. “Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes.” Jack Canfield said: “People who do not have goals work for people who have goals.” Make Writing Part of Your Happiness! It is the only thing that matters. Write about the things that truly matter to you (that entertain or interest you), and it will contribute to your happiness in the long term. Success will follow. Remember the 10,000-hour Rule. That’s roughly how much work and practice it takes to become accomplished in any field, whether it is sports, arts, or business. 10,000 hours is five years of full-time hard work. If you want to become a virtuoso, you’d better triple that.
