Write a Book

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.

Write A Book - At My Age

No matter what other people think, there is always room for change and improvement. We all have times when we say, want to do more, be more. It's always in the back of our minds, but never did anything about it because we are afraid or lose heart.

Over the past month, I sat down and started writing ideas on a sheet of paper on women in the sixties who are looking for a change is a change in your daily routine, your life in general, and to encourage them to do I have always wanted to do. It is not easy to make a change, especially when you are in your golden years.

You're a child and the idea of lawmaking a change now scares you or makes you skeptical. What will they say and how they will react? Family and friends will look at your like you have two heads if you decide to take on a particular task. They will try to discourage you, but will give you the support you need to decide what you want to do.

Well, here I am in my last 60 years, looking to do more. Life is full of surprises and this was definitely one for me. Never thought I would take a pen and write the ideas that were in my head, and then write and submit to a publisher. Will wonders never cease? The best surprise is that it has been accepted.

My family and friends were surprised and congratulated me for this achievement. I was a little nervous about telling them at first, but once I did, I felt confident and knew he could refuse nothing. I am sure that you are reading this, you say to yourself, yes, I've always wanted to do something, but I was skeptical, the weather was not good for me, I have no resources, no excuses just made all times.

My little book is not a novel, but I had my message to women everywhere to believe in yourself - it's about time. If you want to do something for yourself go. Do not be discouraged or afraid. We only come this way once, leave a good impression when we leave. You go girl!

So - You Want to Write a Book?

Someone said there is a book that all of us, and maybe they're right. Maybe you also can write a best-seller.

Many want to write his memoirs and family history to give to friends and family. In this case, go ahead. Grandchildren, great - grandchildren will be interested in what you have done, how long they have lived. Historians are still very interested in the daily life of ordinary people in the past.

This is an essential part of their research, and in the future, historians will be equally interested in his life. But if you think it will cost a lot of money, this is not necessarily the case. It may seem a silly question, but if you write a book in the first place, and why do not you write a book?

Whatever the reason, it is very satisfying when you hold a book in hand, you see your name and think you wrote this. This does not happen to everyone.

Most internet bookseller, Amazon already has millions of titles for readers to choose from, so that your book is lost in the crowd, and will endeavor to make it stand out. Also, like most self-published books are poorly written, libraries and bookstores will not stock self-published books. If the book is a local interest, your local library can put one or two on their shelves.

I published my first book, with a total expenditure of less than $ 100.00, which includes the design of an individual with front and back as well as the format.

However, if you want to write a novel and make a lot of money, is another thing altogether. The unfortunate fact, very few people are making money by writing a book. The renowned authors, with sales of millions of pounds, and can save money.

However, there are many well-known authors who can not afford to give their full - time job. And as for new authors, completely unknown, very rarely do.

While some people make a lot of money self-publishing, the fact is that the vast majority are no longer sold 100, most of them much less, usually less than 10. The largest publishers of websites, Amazon, for example, millions of pounds on their website.

And there are many more Internet bookstores. So your book has very little chance of being noticed. Many publishers of websites that promise sales, but few achieve, so it should be very, very careful. There are many fraudulent vendors that promise much, take your money, and then nothing.

Everyone has heard that a beginner can write a book and make a fortune. The Harry Potter books were the first books that JFK Rowling wrote. It was rejected by over 35 publishers before Orion editor took it. Then, his books have become the most successful in the history of literature, reaching sales of over 450 million pounds not to mention the rights of the film.

Recently it has been followed by the phenomenal success of 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, which was self-published by EL James. It sold 65 million copies to date, and is still flying off the shelves. At the time of writing, there are a number of film companies to tender for the right to make a film about it.

The Internet is full of self published authors, having persisted in marketing their books, have finally achieved remarkable success, many of them are indeed a very comfortable life. This is the case of Amanda Hocking. A prolific author, has written more than seventeen books before attempting to publish. His books have been rejected by several publishers scheme, turned to self-publishing in 2011. At first, his books sell slowly then in mid - 2012, his books had begun to sell soon, she accumulated sales of 9000 pounds per day.

 Today, with the high quality of his writing, and marketing efforts, sales shows now run into the millions. So much so that some of the main editorial lines, which became the first place, now they have the contact to ask him to publish his books in the future. Therefore, through hard work, luck, especially good writing, you can do. But do not expect an easy ride, the road will be long, hard and difficult.

Despite all this, it is very satisfying indeed the first time holding a book in your hand, you see your name, and believe I wrote this.
