It's all about them.Derek learned this from Dale Carnegie's book How to Win Friends and Influence People.  Readers and influencers crave genuine attention. “A genuine compliment will instantly make you stand out. You'd probably be in the top 5% of people if you just take the time to personalize the message or send a short video introduction. Tip #2Write a book on a topic you know and feel passionate about sharing. Your attitude can be: “if it makes money or not, great. Either way, I'm going to put this book into the world because people need it.”This averts the tendency of imposter syndrome, asking yourself who am I to write a book, is anyone going to enjoy this? Tip #3Your reader wants to hear from YOU.Stop worrying if other writers have covered your topic–your next reader hasn't heard it from you.“Sometimes they've heard it seven times, but they need to hear it for the eighth time and you're the one that says it right then, when they need it the most.“You may be the one doctor on a flight that saves the passenger's life.”Tip #4Three Magic Words: Can I just… “If I had one last tip to share on my deathbed, it would be the Can I just technique,” says Derek. It hinges on micro-commitments.“BJ Fogg, a Stanford researcher, talks about tiny habits. Steven Guise of Mini Habits, James Clear of Atomic Habits, plus several others have talked about this concept of a micro commitment. It's something so tiny that you're guaranteed to say yes to doing it.

Imagine yourself going through the experience of buying your book. Become very reader-focused. Turn competitors into companions. Tips for your book's success 1. Grab attention (by the book cover, title and description) Paying for professional book cover is investment, not an expense. If you book does not have a good cover you will be losing out many sales or your book might not sell at all because of its bad cover. 2. Understand who the target reader is Look at the successful books in your genre. Read their reviews and find out why people liked it and what readers did not like. Survey people and find out what they need 3. Get guidance Learn from people who are already successful.  Shortcut to success is seeking out mentors, coaches and resources that will guide you through the entire process. Common Mistakes Writers Make 1. The wrong mindset Many writers think about "How can I get value?" when getting into it instead of thinking "How can I give value?" 2. Perfectionism Many writers spend years because they want to make their book perfect before it is published. You can't get a perfect book until you make imperfect attempts and learn from them. 3. Distractions Many writers let themselves distracted often while working on their book. 4. Not following proven formulas Writers either imitate what was done before (in a copy-paste style) or they get too creative.
