People tend to see the problems associated with both ways of getting a book published and they stop trying; this is actually why most people never write a book. The first step of finding an agent, if you're trying the big New York publisher route, is challenging and it's not easy to get the publisher to take a book and pay in advance.



If you attempt the self-publishing route you are faced with a very steep learning curve to begin with as you must fast dozens of technical difficult duties. And the cost for this route is between $30,000 and $40,000 by the time you are finished.

Fortunately for the smart person who wants to write a book and use it to make money, there is a new alternative. There are three book publishing strategies that anyone can use to eliminate the problems and receive only the benefits.

Strategy 1 - Retain your copyrights if at all possible

The two biggest benefits to seek are to maintain control and make money. Both of these two self-publishing benefits can be enjoyed if you find a New York Publisher that doesn't buy the copyright to your book and encourages you to use as much of the content of your book as you want to create other money making products.

Strategy 2 - Get the widest distribution possible for your book.

The wide distribution of your book is the biggest benefit of a New York Publisher. Being proactive and choosing a publisher with a wide distribution gives you the advantage of sustaining more sales. This will increase your income exponentially because each book sold in a bookstore will bring the reader back to your website, where you will sell your other products.

Strategy 3 - Create a book marketing plan that turns your book into a business.

Having good marketing plan is another great benefit of choosing a New York Publisher, but you're going to take it to a new level. From the get-go, as soon as you have a book idea, start turning your book into a bestselling business. You will begin making money from your book right away, long before it is actually published. This could bring in more money than you'd ever get from a publisher's advance. And you'll enjoy the advantage of high sales because all of your products will sell the book when it's printed and ready to be shipped.

ACTION POINT: When you write a book, proactively look for the right publisher using the 3 strategies above and you'll have the best of both worlds. You'll make money all the way through the entire process from book idea to New York Times Bestseller. You'll be able to create a book that becomes an automatic bestseller and might even earn you a passive 6 or 7-figure income.
