Become A Best-Selling Book Author in 1 Hour

| by Paula Brett |

A few weeks back my friend, John Thornhill, blogged about another income stream that he’d added to his arsenal. And I thought to myself, “sugar, why didn’t I think of that? Of course……” [cue light-bulb moment].

What was especially weird was that I actually HAD “thought of that” a few years before…. and I’d actually gone as far as to do something about it. So what did I do wrong? And what was the “brilliant idea”?

Well, let’s answer the second question first. The idea!

John decided to turn one of his best-selling “eBuuuwks” into a real life, physical buuuwk (just joshing with you, John ) And in doing so, he’s exposed himself to a much wider audience.

How so?

Well, now that he is the author of a physical book, which has its own official ISBN number, his book can be seen on the world’s leading online bookstores such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

And that’s not all….

He has yet another product to sell on eBay. With the current eBay rules you can’t sell an eBook as a digitally delivered item. However, now that he’s converted his eBook to a book, he instantly has another type of product to list.

He’s also created another traffic generation system because he still adds his links back to his existing products, just as he does in his eBooks….

… and yet another way to generate an affiliate income. Yes, he can still generate an affiliate income from his book.

Pretty cool, huh?

So where does my big mistake come into all this?

Well, after I’d read his blog post I thought, wow, I’m going to turn my best-selling eBook Operation Ebook into a `real book’.  And then I remembered that I had actually opened an account with Lulu.com a few years before, in 2005 to be exact.

I seem to remember I was working on my first eBook, a babies name eBook, actually, (I cringe when I look at it now) and I was looking for a way to turn it into a PDF.  OK, OK, so now, of course, I know that I can do this really easily with Open Office, but at the time I didn’t know this. That’s when I stumbled across Lulu.

I created the book and then, to be honest, I completely forgot all about it.  Other things came on the scene, I was selling the eBook digitally on eBay and the `Lulu stuff’ just went out of my head.

And so did the login details of my account :0 Yep, that was me, flitting from one “next best thing” to another — I’m sure you all know the scenario?

Anyway, when John had the clever idea of showing everyone the process of turning your eBooks into books and creating a totally comprehensive, step-by-step video package that does just that, I begged and cajoled a sneak peak. Cheeky, I know….. but if you don’t ask, you don’t get [bats eyelashes in a sickening way]

You know me… I’m a sucker for a good old rummage, and I have to tell you, I’m so excited about these videos and this “turn all my eBooks into physical books” business, that I want to get testing straight away. A lot of fantastic things have happened at Lulu since I last visited in 2005

So I’m actually going to see if I can create my book in an hour, as John claims on his website http://www.ebook-2-book.com Yep, that’s right, I could have my own book up and running and for sale in an hour….

Now, I’m not promising that I’m going to be back posting in an hour with the finished product… think I’m going to have to get the stop-watch out as I’ve got bath-time, bed-time stories, dishwasher filling and some dirty clothes to put in the machine… but I’m going to be really strict, get the stop-watch out and report back with my results.

If you don’t want to wait to see if it can be done and are chafing at the bit to get started on your own project you can grab the package here http://www.ebook-2-book.com

I tell you what, I’ll run a little competition (this’ll keep me on my toes)

The first two people to email me with their Clickbank receipt number, after purchasing eBook 2 Book through my link AND to post a comment below about which of your products you’re going to turn into a physical book and why you think it’ll make a good physical book — I’ll send them through the post, absolutely free, a copy of the `physical’ version of Operation Ebook that I’m going to create using John’s eBook 2 Book video course.

I’ll also offer 5 copies of the downloadable version to the next five people (same stipulations as above — a receipt number and a comment )

Please send emails here

P.S. What a nice surprise!! I just found my old password and login to Lulu.com buried in the nether regions of my `puter, and, can you believe this…. that book I was telling you about, that I’d just abandoned, forgotten all about, has sold two copies! How cool is that? And that’s just through someone finding it on Lulu – there were no links on any of my websites, or in any of my autoresponder messages etc. Nothing.

Yes, the princely sum of 8 quid is now mine…  I’m off out on the town!

I’ll report back later
