Faint At Heart

Have you been guilty of procrastinating on your book project, lately? Like the author, many writers hinder themselves with wrong thinking about writing and completing their books.

Knowledge and know-how can be formed into nine easy steps that will destroy the power of procrastination. Using the amazingly easy steps below writers can conquer the giant procrastination and speedily write their best book now:

1. Act Now. Action will paralyze fear each and every time.

2. Avoid marathon writing. Know you don’t have to become a hermit to write and complete a successful book.

3. Commit to the tracking approach. Doing a set amount -even if it’s only an hour- each day builds a cumulative effect.

4. Know you don’t have to write chapters in order. You can jump around and fill in the blanks to gain momentum.

5. Maintain your momentum. Don’t give in to writers block. Move on to work on the chapter you feel passion bubbling for at that moment.

6. Rewrite & Re-organize. Be a professional. Don’t be lazy and save all the editing for your editor. Make your manuscript the best it can be.

7. Learn to Delegate. Don’t succumb to the idea that you have to do it all yourself if you want it done right. Discern your talents and delegate the rest. Let go faster and profit sooner.

8. Work Efficiently. Embrace technology. If you don’t know how something works, find out. Take a class. Read articles. Learn how to use your software to make things easier and faster.

9. Print Out & Back Up Daily. Don’t believe a computer crash can never happen to you. Save your work somewhere besides your computer hard drive - floppy disk, cd, DVD. Make a hard copy of your manuscript. Print out changes as you work.

Even so, nothing can happen until that first draft is completed. Procrastination is ultimately based on fear of failure. It has stopped countless of book projects and stolen the vision of many more. Don’t allow procrastination to become a giant towering over your book dreams.

Step out of your comfort zone prepare your marketing plan, mine your existing knowledge and create a framework for each chapter, speed write your book and you’ll be surprised at what you accomplish by following the above simple steps of the Write Your Best Book Now writing program.

One-way backlinks are links to your website from some other website on the Internet. They are called one-way because it isn’t required that your website contain a link to their website in return. One way links are much more sought after than reciprocal links. Search engines use the amount of one-way backlinks your site has as a way to judge the overall importance of your website. The more important they think your site is, the higher in the search engine rankings you’ll go!

One of the best ways to get these links is by submitting articles, written by yourself, to various article websites. These articles become public domain, and can be copied across the Internet to other websites free of charge.

So how does this help you? Easy. When you write an article, you put your link in the About the Author section. This one way link MUST be displayed on any site that posts your article. So just like that, you’ve got yourself a one-way backlink! If 50 or 100 or even 500 people post your article, you’ve got multiple backlinks, and the search engines consider you their friend!

More links = more customers. And more customers can only mean one thing - you’ll soon be needing a larger office!
