It’s not procrastination. You are more than ready to start your book. How does one start, you may ask? You may just need a simple plan to get started writing your book. Here’s ten tips to JUMPSTART writing your first book to completion:

1. Find your target audience.

When you give your book a target, it will hit the mark of good sales. To be honest, not everyone will be interested in your book. When you target one audience at a time, each tip, each story or how-to will be more effective. Aim your message and you will have a competitive edge on many book writers. Create an audience profile.

Are your potential readers male or female? How old are they? Are they interested in self-help, mystery, romance, how-to books? What problems do they face? Are they business people or professionals? Are they techies or non-techies? Are they willing to spend $15-30 on your book?

2. Examine your book’s significance.

Many writers tremble in their tracks with fear that their book won’t sell. Don’t be afraid. Your book is significant if its presents useful information, answers important readers questions, and impacts people for the good. If it’s entertaining or humorous it could go further than you imagined.

It creates a deeper understanding of humanity, animals or this world. With one to three of these elements your book is worth writing. More than three, it has potential of making great sales even to best seller status. Go ahead, write your book and make the world a better place.

3. Develop your book’s working title.

In the literary world it’s called a working title for everyone knows it may change. You may decide to change it or your publisher. Even so, working titles help direct and focus your writing. Some non-fiction writing does better with subtitles. If needed, it clarifies the title. Obscure titles will miss the mark and sales.

Which titles grab you and stir a desire to read what the author has to say: Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money – That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not! or How to Teach Others About Money; How to Win Friends and Influence People! or How to Make Friends.

4. Write your book’s thesis.

A thesis reflects the main central thought and greatest benefit of your book. It should answer your audiences’ question, “How will this book solve my problem of? Writing the thesis before you write the book will keep you on the path of focused, powerful yet easy to read content.

All chapters support your book’s main concept. For “Win with the Writer Inside,” the thesis is “How to write, complete, and publish your best book fast.” The best titles often include the thesis statement in some form.

5. Design your book’s 60 second “Poster” before writing chapter 1.

Make your 2-3 sentence blurb into a sound byte. Like a hallway poster that you only have a few seconds to read, you condense your sound byte message into a 60 second blurb to tell and sell.

Use your poster board at networking meeting, in the elevator, in the grocery line, anywhere you only have a few seconds to tell about your book. Composing your poster board should include your title, 3 top benefits and compare your book with a successful book in your field.

Writing a book is a journey. Most journeys go so much smoother with a map or travel plan. Taking the simple steps above will get you started and keep you going to completion. Start today then complete and release your significant message to the world. Write your first book and prosper!

Want to write more and write faster too? Let’s discover the secrets of great writing habits, which completely eliminate procrastination and writer’s block.

Great writing habits start when you realize that writing is a process. Although others’ writing (including articles and books) may seem effortless – as though a piece of writing has been written in a single seamless session – that’s always far from the case.

If you understand the writing process, and that it’s messy and chaotic, then your own scrambled writing process will seem natural to you, because not only is it completely normal, but you’ll realize it’s essential.

You can’t create without chaos. If you try, you’ll choke your writing. Writing will be difficult, if not impossible.

Let’s look at three tips which will help you to get comfortable with chaos and to write more and faster too.

1. Set writing goals – what do you want to write?

All writing starts with setting goals for yourself: process goals, which only you can accomplish, and which you control.

For example, you may set a goal to have your writing appear in a particular magazine, or on a specific Web site by a certain date. This is a worthwhile goal, however it’s not a process goal that’s solely under your control.

A process goal would be: “By ________ (date) my essay for _______ (magazine name) is complete.”

Always set process goals – goals which you control. Yes, you can set financial goals, however the basis of all your financial goals MUST be process goals. There’s no point in setting a goal of making $250,000 a year from your writing if that goal isn’t supported by many process goals – if you don’t write enough, you won’t sell enough. It really is that simple.

So set process goals, and enter the daily tasks you must complete to meet those goals into your planner.

Break the tasks down – chunk them.

2. Separate planning, drafting and writing

Writing is a process which involves planning, drafting and writing.

Always chunk your writing process right down.

For example, I plan the articles I’ll write the following week each Sunday. I write the topics, the titles, and the outlines for all the articles.

During the week, I draft the articles further, and then I write them. Drafting for me involves a combination of free writing and mind maps. I separate the draft for a project from the writing by at least one day, often by a week.

3. Down-size your expectations while you write

I hope you have great expectations for your writing. Confidence is vital.

However, when it comes to the actual writing process, take the pressure off. All I expect from myself during a writing session is that I write – that I complete a certain number of words, and that those words are formed into sentences. That’s all.

Writing is a whole-brain exercise. It’s creative and mysterious. If you read the first draft material of any professional writer you’ll get a shock. It’s a mess, and that’s fine. The writing muse sends you hints, which you write down.

Over several sessions, a project takes shape. If you demand that your writing is like typing, that the finished project gushes from your fingertips like water from a tap, you’ll be disappointed.

If you take the above tips to heart, you’ll find writing easy. And once that happens, you’ll write more, and write faster too.

The stakes have been raised in the job search. Employers and recruiters receive a deluge of resumes every day and in response to every job opening. The online resume databases are packed full with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of resumes! How will you ensure that your resume will make the cut and that you will capture attention and get the call for an interview? Here are a few crucial tips that are absolutely essential to the creation of a compelling resume in such competitive times.

Tip #1: It isn’t about you, it’s about the employer.

Yes, I know it is a resume and I know that the traditional foundation of a resume is a listing of your employment and educational history. But guess what? Your resume ISN’T about you. Very few of the actual recipients of your resume actually care where you went to school, where you worked ten years ago, and what training classes you completed last year. The simple truth is that the ONLY reason these facts are useful at all are because they give important clues as to the value you have to offer to your next employer. Keep this truth in mind as your write your resume. Yes, you should still include the traditional elements of a resume, but that should be secondary. Your focus and emphasis should be on creating content that is employer-centered and focused on how you have the unique and superior ability to meet their needs and solve their problems. Present your facts within this context.

Tip #2: Employers don’t care about what you know how to do. They care about what you DO with what you know how to do.

Qualifications are the baseline for a position, but they don’t distinguish you from your competitors in the job market, and they certainly don’t sell. On the other hand, achievements do sell, but results sell even better. Just telling the reader that you have achievements and accomplishments isn’t very effective unless you present them in terms of the results and benefits they have produced for past employers. Continually ask yourself “so what?” in terms of your achievement. What did you improve, save, increase, enhance, etc? What impact did the work you do have on the companies? While numbers are always best, even if you are unable to quantify achievements, the emphasis should still be on the results and benefits of your work. For the maximum impact, accomplishments should be presented as concise “success studies” complete with challenge faced, action taken, immediate result, and strategic importance. The reason is simple: what you know how to do (your qualifications, knowledge, and skills) are of absolutely no value unless you know how to put them into practice for the benefit of the organization. Show that you do. Prove impact!

Tip #3: Illustrate passion. Don’t be afraid to show yourself!

Infuse your resume with your personality and your authentic passion. Forget the self-promotion, the cliches, and the jargon. You want to let the facts speak for themselves, but you want to do so in a way that tells the reader about your personality. Yes, the return on investment (ROI) that an employer reaps from hiring you is paramount, but of almost equal importance in the hiring decision will be the chemistry and the fit. Forget the bland, self-effacing, autobiographical style of resume writing that you may have been taught in college. Let your personality and your authentic personal brand shine through, and illustrate your passion for your job target with succinct success stories that demonstrate to the reader your unique value. By doing so, you will attract the right opportunities – the ones for which you are the perfect fit and for which the corporate culture is a perfect fit for you.

Tip #4: Rip your resume in half.

Go ahead. Do it. Print a copy of your resume and then take the first page and rip it in half. Now throw away the bottom half and concentrate on the top half. This is the most important section of your resume. This top half of your resume must be absolutely compelling. It must seize the reader’s attention and draw them in with content that leaves absolutely no doubt that you are the perfect candidate to fulfill their needs and solve their problems. With just a five-second glance at this section, the reader should come away with a crystal clear understanding of your focus and exactly how you would fit in their organization; they must come away with an accurate perception of your brand and the unique promise of value that differentiates you from your peers and competitors. And remember, you must not only tell the reader about your value proposition. You must show them with examples of past accomplishments. I said it before and I’ll say it again. Prove value! Prove impact! In short, within moments of picking up your resume and without looking any further than the beginning of the first page, the recipient of your resume must come away with the perception of a dynamic, result-proven individual. And, of equal importance, of a professional who has clear career direction, and more importantly, who understands the parameters and challenges of the position and exactly how she will add unique value and a superior return on investment in relation to those challenges. It is a tall order, but with clear, succinct, brand-driven and results-focused writing it is absolutely possible to achieve all of these goals.

Article tips on how to write article content will be very useful in a year when article writing ability is going to be a definite advantage. Pay per click advertising is less of an attractive proposition in an economy where people are nervous of the potential cost of such paid advertising techniques when visitors are more liable to be window shopping than purchasing.

There are no doubts in the minds of most people that with spare cash becoming scarcer, then internet users will be more discerning when it comes to parting with it, and conversion rates will drop. Advertising will therefore become more expensive.

Article tips on how to write article content in such a manner as to make it more difficult for the reader to resist clicking through to their website will enable you to profit at the expense of those with limited article writing abilities. Article marketing is free advertising, and a 0.5% conversion from 1000 free clicks is better that 5% from 100 paid ones. So why is it so important to know how to write articles properly and what are the benefits of a good article marketing campaign?

1. Article marketing offers free advertising, whereas paying for every click is very risky in an economic climate where people are less likely to be buying, and if they do intend to buy they will be clicking on several ads before making up their minds to part with their cash.

2. By writing articles with authoritative content, and a compelling reason why the reader should click through to the website from the resource, you can get a good response from those that want more information before buying. Offer them that information and you could secure the sale.

3. Write articles focused on the keyword and title of the article, and you will keep the reader interested. It is essential that you do that if your article writing is to achieve its objective: make you money. Article tips that enable you to do that are priceless.

4. Learning how to write properly and grammatically is only part of what you have to know. You must also choose the right keywords, write a compelling title and a good resource – good enough to get that click. But that’s not all! You also need a good landing page or all your article writing ability will go to waste.

5. Your article will not only gain back-links to your website from directories, and clicks from those that read them, but will also be listed on Google and other search engines in the same way as any other web page and so provide you with free advertising of a good search engine listing. It is not unusual for a well written and optimized article to appear on Page #1 of Google on more than one directory page.

These five article tips just touch upon the benefits of knowing how to write articles properly, and also how to craft an entire article consisting of the perfect keyword, an irresistible title, authoritative content and a resource that compels the reader to make that click. It doesn’t matter how good your product or website is – it is worthless without advertising and promotion. You must promote what you have to offer before you can achieve success.

If you can learn how to achieve that, and how to write article content that turns your article marketing campaign into a free advertising bonanza, then you will have mastered a technique that will enable you to make money without spending a single penny on advertising – ever!

Where are you in writing your book? Whether you are almost finished after 2 years or just beginning, these book writing tips may help you. You owe it to yourself and your important message to finish fast and sell sooner.

For years, my book manuscript would end up in the drawer with the rest of my unfinished projects. No more; now I finish my book writing projects strong and fast.

I learned from my mentors who showed me the way. I even learned from my competitors who finished their books fast to sell sooner.

Here’s some book writing tips to help you speed write your book for maximum sales sooner:

1. Place book writing goals in your top 3 priorities. Setup a regular writing schedule. Think about your priorities right now. Can you fit 7-10 hours a week in? If you have to let something go that is not high on your priority list, do it. Now is your time. Later is not better.

2. Put your reader first. When writing your book, you should be writing to your reader. Use the word “you” and avoid as much as possible using the words “I” and “We”. An author friend chooses a friend interested in her topic and writes all her books to them.

3. Write an intention goal for your book. Do you have a plan in place? Write on purpose. Don’t set yourself up for failure by not planning. Even if it’s a simple intention goal like “I complete my book (title of book) this year by (date and year.) I educate myself and do what it takes to complete it.” Set one and write it down so you can hit the target.

4. Break your writing into short sections. It’s easier on you to write. Furthermore, it’s easier on your reader to read. Try to break long paragraphs into shorter, more digestible chunks. Make it easy to read and you’ll reach more readers.

5. Use short sentences and simple words. Writing and reading a long sentence takes longer than a short one. Cut lengthy sentences in half to make your writing easier to read. Aim your copy so a 6-7th grader could understand it. Remember using complex words won’t impress your readers. Most times it will annoy them to the point of not finishing your book.

6. Be concise but specific. Compelling copy is concise. Unnecessary words waste your time and most of all your reader’s time. It dilutes your message and makes your book longer than necessary. Additionally, be specific. When writing your book, stick to the specific information about your topic. The more relevant facts you include, the better. If you don’t bother to dig for specifics about your topic, your book may end up vague filled with meaningless words.

7. Write your book the easy way to finish fast. Three of the top ways to speed write your book includes: Act Now. Action will paralyze fear each and every time. Avoid marathon writing. Know you don’t have to become a hermit to write and complete a successful book. Commit to the tracking approach. Doing a set amount,even if it’s only 30 minutes to an hour, each day builds a cumulative effect.

8. Use laser focus. Apply laser focus to complete your book writing project faster. For example, if you look at a 40 watt bulb, the light is soft. Yet you can take the same 40 watts; put it in a laser gun and the same 40 watts become a focused beam of light that can cut through different objects like a sharp knife through paper. To use laser focus in your book project, prioritize, do only one project at a time and complete one project before you start another.

If you don’t use these book writing tips to finish fast, you may be this time next year working on the same book project. Remember to put your book writing in the top 3 priorities of your life, write an intention goal, put your reader first, break your writing into short sections, use short sentences and simple words, be concise but specific, learn to write the easy way and use laser focus. Using the above simple book writing tips you can easily write and complete your book fast. See you at the finish line. Finish fast; finish strong and sell sooner.
