50 50 is a very good ratio for ending up as a best seller!!! No wonder the classes Mike has are so popular. Are there required topics that are better options for books or is it more about the way you write?

Will Mike be having another Book publishing class? I have looked at the info you supply here and I have a friend who should definitely take part as the information they already have in their book is very useful to many but they lack the necessary skills to continue. With Mikes success rate I think he just could be the answer!

Good Post –How many people publish their nonfiction/business book in mind with a firm understanding of what they want the book to accomplish for them, what a book reasonably can accomplish, and what it takes to make that happen?

Interesting.Perfect timing! I am currently writing a book and I am in the planning stages of a website/blog designed to aid in the writing as well as marketing of the book. I would love to attend your course to ensure that I am going in the right direction with my current project.

Sometimes it’s not just about brevity versus depth. Sometimes brevity is depth. My feeling about a lot of books (particularly business books) is that they could be condensed into a long essay…but they create extra content, thus diluting (and sometimes confusing) their message, to justify their price tag. Of course, no one would admit thinking more pages equals more value, but I think psychologically, that’s just how we’re wired to think. I mean, you don’t see many 20-page hardbound essays selling for $15, do you?

Am near NYC and would love an opportunity to attend the conference.

Thanks for sharing this interesting question of brevity vs. depth. I am surprised no one else has commented on the “bog” typo in your first paragraph on Godin.

I’m missing the conference dates this time around, but would love to be kept in the running for your next NYC giveaway! Thanks.

I sell over 200 copies of my non-fiction eBook through my Website each month, and do not use social media at all (no time). Perhaps I’m missing a huge market, and will look into it – the problem is, who is going to do it?
I understand that to Blog, Twitter, FaceBook, U-tube et al consume time faster than politicians consume money, and that takes some beating!

Interesting post – I’m not sure I’m convinced on the need to tailor blog post to the different temperments. But, I like the idea that we should begin every project with the end in mind and keep that goal in focus throughout the project. I would love to learn more about Michael Drew’s approach to writing a NY Times Best Seller. Thanks for your consideration and generosity!

Interesting split between your post and the comments you’re getting. The post seems to be about designing your book so that it lends itself to great content-based strategies. The conference seems to be about that + the actual strategies themselves. It looks like most people so far are looking for marketing strategies, as in “I have a preexisting book, tell me how to market it.”

I’m exploring a few topics for a 3rd book. My first two sell fairly well (not NYT best-sellers by any stretch), but are in a fairly small niche and I’m looking to branch out. Would love to attend the conference.

“Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye” is a book to empower patients so they can avoid dental treatments! Using a natural sweetener called xylitol and a selection of well known mouth rinses anyone can avoid cavities and most dental treatments! This is a book for people who want to avoid spending money at the dentist: help me get it out there please!
