Developing Authors Through Experience

​     Over the years, I have written several books and made simple mistakes that prevented the books from becoming successful. I learned valuable lessons along the way about writing, publishing, and marketing books.  Now, I use what I know to help others put out a product, they can be proud of. As an author, I understand how writing a book can be both challenging and confusing for new writers. However, it can also be very empowering.
 
     I have written a dozen books since 2010, a few became bestsellers. From August 2020 - January 2022, four out of the five books that I released all became bestsellers. On August 13, 2020, my book "Growing as a Couple" was ranked #89 on Amazon's Top 100 Bestselling list.  I was completely shocked to know that my book managed to out rank thousands of other books. I will admit that was a wonderful feeling...but it was also just the beginning of an amazing ride.  A couple months later, on October 19, 2020, I released my third book of the year, "The Power of Marketing You: The Psychology of Using Self-Confidence". On November 27, 2020, my book was ranked #28 on Amazon's Top 100 Bestselling list and ranked #77 on November 29th. It was ranked higher than more than 13,000 other books in the Educational Professional Category at the time. Amazon has millions of books in their catalog, so they created categorization to make it easier for readers to search for books through genres. Even within the genres there are often hundreds of thousands of books to compete against. 
On June 15, 2021, I released 'Leading Change: Breakdown of Problems, Policies and Plan for Political Changes." After only 4 days, it ranked # 3 on Amazon's Hot New Releases Bestsellers and reached #10 on another Top 100 Bestsellers category list during that same period.  It was an exciting time; my book was literally ranked ahead of renown public figures that had books also listed on the New York Times Best-Sellers List.   On January 4, 2022, my book "Quote Me" became my first #1 New Release. 


The truth is it took me an entire decade to create a book that produced enough organic sales to land on any bestsellers list.  Even if, I never write another book that comes close to being a bestseller again, I will carry that achievement with me into my old age. Although I never write with the intent of being recognized for my work, it is still rewarding to be recognized as a bestselling author on any list.
