How to Write Draw a Best Selling Book
Quick motivational post today for those who want to ‘write’ a book, but don’t feel they have the skills.
This is a post for the more artistic among us, so if you can’t draw, or sketch, or paint, or take a photograph, or can’t find someone who can to help you (Fiverr, Craigslist) then stop reading right now.
You can be a best-selling author, even if writing words or crafting stories is not something that comes easily to you.
Don’t believe me? That’s OK I have proof.
Go over to Amazon.com and choose the search category ‘Books’.
Then, narrow your search even further to ‘Best-Sellers’.
Look at the #2 and #3 best-selling books listed. Notice something odd?
They are BOTH adult Coloring Books!
“Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book” by Johanna Basford, an illustrator, is the #2 best-selling book in the world right now on Amazon.com. You remember Amazon.com right? The world’s LARGEST book seller.
You have to sell a LOT of books to make it to the top of the Amazon.com list. Even to get on the Top 10. Johanna has two books there, and they are both COLORING BOOKS!
#3 on the list is her book, “Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book” Paperback
If you can draw, YOU can create a book, and self-publish it using the Amazon.com, Createspace, publishing-on-demand program.
If you can paint, YOU can create a book, and self-publish it using the Amazon.com, Createspace, publishing-on-demand program.
If you can take a photograph, YOU can create a book, and self-publish it using the Amazon.com, Createspace, publishing-on-demand program.
If you are skilled in Photoshop, YOU can create a book, and self-publish it using the Amazon.com, Createspace, publishing-on-demand program.
YOU can create coloring books for adults or children. YOU can create comic books. YOU can create anime style books. YOU can create game books. Hidden object books.
People are bored out of their minds and looking for an escape. A way to pass the time while waiting at school for the kids, at the doctors or the airport.
They’ll reward you handsomely…if you’ll only amuse them, distract them, engage them. If only for just a short while.
All that’s required is imagination.
If you’re the artistic type, you already have that skill. But even if you don’t, you can always partner with someone artistic to help you achieve your vision in print. There are plenty of ‘starving artists’ who would jump at the chance to have their artwork featured in your best-selling book.
No excuses now. ANYONE can create and publish their own book.
If you can write about HOW you do something well, you can write a book.
If you can write sarcasm, be funny, be critical, be wise, give information you can write a book.
If you can draw, sketch, paint, or take a photograph, or find someone who can, you can create a book.
If you can tell a story (fiction or non-fiction) or share someone else’s story, you can create a book.
Oh, and did I mention it is FREE to try? Amazon.com and their Createspace program has made it so.
I’ve used their program to create many of my books. I’ve helped others do it too.
Let me know how I can help you achieve your dream and proudly hold your very own book in your hands, to show your friends, your family, your kids, or your boss.
It’s time you finally got the recognition you deserve. It’s time you finally created an asset that will continue to pay you for years to come – without doing more work.
“You can remember the past and dream of the future, but the only time you can actually DO SOMETHING is now.”
Why not use your now to start working on your book today? It’s easier than you think. I promise.

P.S. Need the attention of someone BIG who can help you? Stu Heinecke can help you. Stu is an artist who has used his skills to get the attention of President’s, captains of industry and more. His Amazon.com book, “Drawing Attention” shows you in a very humous way, how to get the attention of the people you need, all the attention you need. He’s funny. He’s inspiring. Have a look.
. Using this program you speak into a microphone and the computer types for you into your favorite word processing program. Very cool! I know several authors who use this to create books.
