Most writers dream about creating a bestselling book, but only a few of them really understand what it requires to reach a bestseller level and what determines a bestseller.
It takes selling lots of books . How it should be achieved? Well, authors should set a goal and have a clear understanding of it. What does it mean to have a bestselling book and what an amount of books should you put up for sale?
Nowadays a bestseller is defined by 1) Having a high ranking at Amazon; 2) Getting into Bestseller list in New York Times; 3) Selling a big amount of copies.
How does a book find itself in New York Times list? As a matter of fact, it is more rule of thumb. The New York Times has built relations with many bookstores that claim their weekly sold copies to the New York Times. (Take into account that the New York Times members do not include internet sales, department stores sales and local gift stores). The books selling the most every week in the particular stores define which ones get into the list.
A book that never gets into the New York Time Bestseller list may be a bestseller outselling books on that list over time. Books that are not hitting can become popular through rumors and sell many copies to attain bestseller level even though they have never come on any bestseller lists.
Amazon has become the major player in determining a bestseller because it gives a sales rank for every book that is in the list. By achieving a high sales ranking, for example, top 100, a book can also claim a bestseller level. Identical to New York Times, nonetheless, if a book markets regularly, but it does not sell many book copies in a short span of time, its sales rank will not go high as a book that markets ten thousand in 7 days.
So, how many books should you sell to confirm bestseller status? Dan Poynter, who is a publishing professional, states that the number should be 35,000. I think, it is the right number, as the bestseller can become popular for short or for long time. A book can be published and become striking and sell a million copies per year and after that be forgotten. So, is it really vital to become a bestseller?
Your book may never get into a bestseller list. Over some time, you will market more copies than the books that have got into a bestseller list. Authors aim to become popular, but writing good books is a profitable investment, if you are searching for longevity. I think longevity is the best indicator of book’s victory. So, above all, you should make this to be your target.
In spite of the Internet and various TV programs and shows still lots of people like reading and they keep looking for top new releases. Fortunately the online network help keeping an eye on best seller books for women and one can get the latest news on many best seller books sites.
