How I Became A USA Today Bestselling Author

The marketing strategy that turned me into a USA Today Bestseller

Many authors aspire to become a bestselling author. While becoming an Amazon bestselling author is quite easy these days by picking the right categories, reaching a big list requires a lot more work.

Normally, I prefer to publish a book with a focus on consistent income. I don’t pursue a new book anymore unless I believe it can turn into a consistent $50 to $100 each month for many years to come.

My main focus has been on passive income and turning readers into clients.

But an opportunity came my way to co-author a book that would end up becoming a USA Today bestseller.

The book was co-authored by over 20 people who each shared the responsibility of promoting the book during strategic moments.

We put the book up for preorder on Barnes & Noble and Apple iBooks before putting the book up on Amazon. To become a USA Today bestseller, you can’t just get all of the sales on Amazon. You need some of your sales to come from other places like B&N and iBooks. Once we got a few hundred sales on those places, we eventually focused our efforts on marketing the book through Amazon.

We led our audiences to the Amazon sales page and invited other people to join us…
