Writing The Ideal Book Title
If you want to sell books, you need the perfect title. In fact, it’s one of the most important aspects of writing a book that sells, yet I see many authors get stuck or fail to deliver. Or, they just don’t have a reliable process that works.
To write a title that sells, follow these steps:
First, you must do the keyword research to see which words people are looking up when they want a book on your topic, and then you should brainstorm your titles, keeping those keywords in mind.
Next, look to see if the titles you came up with are available by checking on Amazon. This is a pretty good indicator. However, be aware that not all authors publish on Amazon. I am working with a client right now who found a book with one of the titles we were considering that is not being offered on Amazon. She found it on the author’s website. She also found that this author was already getting media attention for their book.
Now, if the book had been written by an author who was not savvy, it might be okay to go ahead, if the domain name was available, but in this case, the other book was already getting publicity, so I would pass.
The next step is to check to make sure the domain name is available. And you always want to use a .com not a .net or .org or anything other one, because people always go to .com first…
