HOW TO BECOME AN AUTHOR WITHOUT WRITING A WORD (SIMPLE AND EASY)

It seems so good selling other people’s products and making money. Yep, there is nothing wrong about that. But have you ever asked yourself if these so called great publishers are in any way better than you? Will it surprise you if you get to know that many of these authors never wrote a word but have their products selling like hot cakes? How?
Yes that is the question I’m expecting. Right now I will expose the secret behind this. Just prepare your mind and let’s get started.

You too can become an author in the next 24hrs! Take my words and I will show you how. Have you ever heard of PLR materials? These are Private Label Materials which could be e-books, articles, software, audio or video materials. The fact is these materials had already been prepared in the original state but you a potential author grab them, do some retouching and present them new to the public.

What do I mean? This is the hard work of some people which you are taking over for a token. You can remove the name of the author and replace it with yours. You can become an author if you follow the tips discussed below
Discover a need: In our day to day activities we discovered there are a lot of problems to be solved. Many people are in need of some information or the other. You must discover a niche. I mean a market or a set of people who have a common problem which sets their feet on the search for information. Prepare to solve the problem. You could focus on health e.g. how to cure tuberculosis, romance, cooking etc.

Purchase PLR materials that meet the need: The next step is to buy materials that solve the problems of the niche market you have chosen. Make a little research on the materials for the niche. You can get a lot of these in Google-type PLR materials. It now depends on your choice. You may be surprised that the price offered for these materials is just too low. You might Purchase five e-books for as low as $30 or $40.

Edit to your taste: This is where the work lies. It is possible for you to get PLR materials, clean off the author’s name, insert your own and become a best selling author. Note that you are not the only one who purchased the material; others might do the same selling the material word for word. But for the wise, you can easily edit the book, replace the title with a very good one of your choice, read the book carefully, changing paragraphs where necessary, you can add some other information you got properly from the net or from an expert in the field, you can change sentences, headings, add a story, make it more explanatory or reduce words where necessary. This makes your product unique and different from every other products in the market. This is so easy to do a brand new material and possibly far from the original.

Build a website: Once your product is ready, you need a website where the sale could be made. A lot of people make mistake here. If your product is good but your website is not inviting then your effort is just a waste. Your website must be very good with a wonderful sales letter. If you can not write you can give it out for a token and the magic will be performed.

Advertise your product: A good website and a good product will not put money in your pocket. Until you bring people to the website there wouldn’t be any sale. You can market your website by visiting forums and being active, request for joint ventures, advertise in magazines and even write articles for article submission sites. Haven done this, watch as sales keep rolling.
By following this steps, you are on your way to becoming a best selling author
