I went into the Library of Congress. I was visiting Washington DC with my kids and we went there.
Now if you've ever been there, you know what I mean when I say it was great. Really impressive big! The fact is, it is the largest library in the world.
It houses over 35 million books and periodicals. I was wondering what the first word of the oldest book had?
But I do not write here about 35 million pounds, no, I'm here to write one.
You see, I had a dream and an ambition for many years, has been held. It's a dream, even if he did not act, he never died. The truth is that it has increased to an undeniable need now full.
The need I speak of is the need to be a published author. Not only to write a book that bothers you. After all, how many people have written or stories written almost exclusively to put them in the drawer and forget?
This is not what I want, and not what I do.
If what you just said seems negative or difficult, consider what I say, and I think it will take a fresh look at the subject. Now I know I'm not alone in his desire to write a book, and even make a living from writing. I bet there are people in this room who share my desire. For them and for some of you who are contemplating the idea of unbecoming a writer, I have very good news.
While there are many things about modern life that make us regret the time, there are new ways of doing terrible things could not have imagined only a few years ago. Becoming a published author is a search that was once considered a long shot at best, but now it is possible to obtain by anyone willing to learn the technology of today.
Bookstores are closing around us and yet people are reading more than ever. How is this possible? The digital revolution has changed everything and the old paradigms are gone forever. But on a small shelf, a person can have hundreds of books.
Comfort is huge and the availability of new and classic books no longer limited to book stores. If you can not access the Internet, you can get what you want to book for a matter of minutes and for less money than in the past.
How I can publish my book and make money with it?
The first step is the most difficult to write a book! But before you start writing, if you do a little research to find out what topics people are searching online, you will have a great advantage before you even start it.
You can search for topics and keywords that are popular and write a book that you know, based on verifiable data. This would never have happened ten years ago! Also, people today do not want a volume of 300 pages, 60 pages they want at a price of $ 4.99, easy!
The Internet is full of resources you can use to transform your raw manuscript into a polished volume. For example, you can go to a site like Elance.com FIVERR.com or hire an editor or proofreader literally 10 to $ 40. But you still have to put some meat flavor, right?
On these sites you can hire a graphic designer to create a beautiful cover for your book the same bargain prices. Think about it, a professional graphic designer to create your book cover in color and in various types of files 10 or $ 20. It sounds crazy, but it's true!
Your still not done in all aspects. You wrote the book on your computer, it is very important to write on the computer, as it is known as e-book. You take your finished book and the cover and turn three formats most popular electronic readers.
These formats are pub, Mobil and PDF. The client downloads the correct file type based on whether they intend to read on the iPad, Nook, Kindle or PC.
Did I mention that the software used to convert files for free? ERs
So let's pause for a moment and see exactly where we are. We have a finished book. It has an elegant, attractive. It was become the most popular file types. But no one can buy it back, right? No, they can not. They can not buy it because we have not sent to an online store where you can find paid and discharged.
Where do you think we should go from here? We are so close we are?
Two sites come to mind immediately. This is a little site called Amazon.com and the other is something you may have heard, is called iTunes. Now, I have to give very careful here, because it gets complicated. In one of these sites, register as an author (free) and download the book.
Wait a few hours and now you're a published author with a potential audience of billions! How great is that!
Now, Amazon and iTunes are not the only places where you list your books. There Good reads, blogs, online magazines and countless other places that can be sold.
Next, apply a bit of a social media marketing to spread the word and see our sales figures from Amazon, iTunes or dashboard. If sales are slow, we can adjust the price, keywords and real-time messages.
So I know that if we all have the dream of writing books, I hope that for those of you who do not, I have been inspired to start. think about what you know, write a plan and grow. Set a date to start and a goal for when finished.
And remember, it all starts with the first word.
