Writing Your Best-Selling Non-Fiction Book Title
Your struggling to sell just a few copies of your book, ebook, report or other information-based product each month? Are you stumped by the lack of response you are getting? You are positive people want your information, yet no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to tap into the flood of demand with your infoproduct. Happily, there is one simple, quick change you can make to your product that can make a massive difference to your results -- improve your book title. Your book title is often the ONLY advertisement that stands between your bank account and your prospects wallet. Why is that? Your book title finds it's way to directories, onto bookshelves (in the case of a printed book), website titles, website links, email and forum signatures, business cards, topics of seminars, press releases, joint venture partner proposals and campaigns, interviews, and much, much more.... Here are 3 highly successful techniques for turning your mediocre book titles into sizzling, red-hot, money-making titles... Book Title Writing SECRET #1: Grab Their Attention It often happens that book writers have great content, even great sales letters and press releases, but their title is a dismal, limp descriptive bore. This is not the place to "save your best" marketing for the press release. You want your book title to reach out and grab the browser's attention instantly by being personal, controversial and knowing exactly what is "front-of-mind" for your market. Use strong words, action words, and controversy (within reason) to capture your prospect's attention. Book Title Writing SECRET #2: Tap Into Their Interest Apart from what you may think, you will not create interest in your readers, what you can do is anticipate and tap into interests that already exist in the mind's of your readers. How do you do this? Simple, by identifying what that interest is and clearly communicating this in your title. For example, you've selected dieting as your subject area - and you discover that what your market is REALLY interested in right now is diets that are not dangerous to your health. Your title could be something like: WARNING: What You Don't Know About Low-Carb Diets That May Hurt You. It's a matter of knowing what the REAL concerns are in your market. Book Title Writing SECRET #3: Create Anticipation Your book title must turn casual interest into enough curiosity that they will take a next step - read your sales letter, lookup your book, open the cover, purchase your book, etc... Once you have grabbed their attention, tapped into their interest, the final step is to convince them that YOU, the author, offers a believable, unique and better fulfillment of their desire than others do. You can create curiosity by: - giving your approach it's own "technology" name - listing the number of steps or formula stages - promising results - Book Title Writing SECRET #4: Overcoming Objections Finally, there is one final step that can really make your book title effective - that's to eliminate the biggest objection your prospects will have to not buy your product. For example, in Steve Manning's book "How You Can Write Your Book On Anything in 14 Days Or Less...Guaranteed!" (see http://www.infoproductcreator.com/part/14days ) Steve overcomes the number one objection in the mind's of aspiring writers with the words "About Anything"). Why? Most writers are not confident about their ability to write about a given topic - promising them an approach that will work no matter what the subject matter, overcomes the biggest buying obstacle right in the title. With these tips, turn your work into it's own marketing machine by Attacking your market with your book title. Watch your sales soar, your credibility increase and best of all, watch your bank account grow.
