How to Write Over 100 Books

Just how does someone write 100 books?

That must take an awful lot of time, wouldn't you think.

Where does one find all the time required to sit down and do so much writing?

Well...

That's What this Article Is All About Today...TIME MANAGEMENT.

There's one thing that you and I both have that makes us absolutely, 100% equal.

It's 24 hours in a day.

Every one on the planet has the same allotment of time per day to get things done.

Then why is it that one person can get so much done, and the next person seems to struggle with getting anything done?

The answer is....

...how they manage their time.

TIME Is the Most Precious Commodity in the World.

Ask a rich man to donate money to your cause and they will gladly oblige.

But ask him to donate his time and that's when you'll see hesitation.

So what does this have to do with writing 100 books?

Everything!

The Level of Success You Experience Is Directly Proportional to How You Manage Your Time.

I've been reminded of this lately while trying to work on multiple projects at one time.

I asked myself how do some of the most prolific writers get so much stuff written?

And while I was working out on Saturday down at the local YMCA the answer came to me in the form of a Business Week article about Peter Drucker.

NOTE: If you don't know who Peter Drucker is, just Google his name and you'll discover that he was perhaps the greatest business thinker of all time.

Peter Drucker wrote more than 35 books, many of them being best sellers.

How Did Peter Drucker Write So Many Books?

It's simple.

He ruthlessly managed his time.

In fact, every time Peter Drucker received a request to speak at a seminar, write an article or give an interview...

...he would send them a little preprinted postcard.

Would you like to see what Peter Drucker's little postcard said?

You can read it for yourself by copy and pasting the link below into your browser.

As you can see after reading that postcard, Peter Drucker was very jealous of his time, which allowed him to be able to enjoy life and write so many books.

Another person who is a prolific writer who has written countless books, reports, ads and scripts is Dan Kennedy.

Dan Kennedy Practices the Same Time Management Principles as Peter Drucker.

Dan Kennedy has perhaps authored more material on the topic of marketing than any of the modern day experts.

How does he do it?

He practices the same time management principles as Peter Drucker.

Dan is extremely judicious with his time.

He intentionally distances himself from his clients, customers and followers.

Dan creates layers of protocol that one has to jump through to speak with him directly.

Here is One of Dan's Biggest Time Management Secrets...

Dan has completely cut off people from contacting him via email.

He understands that email has become the...

...# 1 TIME SUCKER of all time...

...because of it's ease of use.

So he has completely banned the use of communication of email in his business.

Would you like to see Dan's communication policy?

Here it is...

Now some people would balk at this practice.

Here's Why Dan's Communication Policy Works

Far too many people abuse email.

Today, people will email you for the smallest things and expect a reply.

If you let yourself, you could sit at your computer ALL DAY LONG answering email.

By requiring people to use more difficult means of communicating, Dan "weeds out" the non-important communication.

Customers and prospects might not like it, but in the end, it will allow you to be five times more productive, which directly translates into generating more revenue.

Does This Mean That I'll Stop Using Email?

Of course not.

But I will be more judicious with answering emails.

So if you have a question or comment, why not post it on my forum where you'll not only get my answer (sometimes), but you'll also receive wisdom from other great marketing experts.

Here it is: Write the blog post / article you were born to write. Write something that you can pour your heart and all your passion into. Write something where you can change the life of the person reading it. Write something where if you look back in 10 years you'll be really proud of what you created. Can you do that? I'd love to read it (and I bet a lot of others will too!)

Re: Do Articles For Businesswomen need to be written differently - I don't think that as a general rule an article [i:11csddi3]needs[/i:11csddi3] to be written "for women." In my opinion, the two important writing rules are: 1) Write for your targeted audience. If it happens to be predominantly women or predominantly men, then write accordingly (if you have the ability to make that distinction in your writing). 2) Write in your own voice. Be natural. If you are a serious writer, your style will become apparent over time and you will develop a following. It may happen that your style is more attractive to one sex or the other. If so, you may be able to advance your writing career by further cultivating your sensitivity within that style. Bottom line: I do believe that certain styles appeal to women, certain styles appeal to men and if you know the distinction, have the ability to write in a particular style and choose to target one sex or the other, then go for it. But I don't think that it is a necessity in today's market. GT :-]
4 Ideas for Viral Marketing - 1. Purchase the branding rights to a viral E-book. Allow people to give away your free E-book to their visitors. Then, their visitors will also give it away. This will just continue to spread your ad all over the Internet. 2. If you have the ability to set up a forum or other bulletin board, you really have a great tool. Allow people to use your online discussion board for their own website. Some people don't have one. Just include your banner ad at the top of the board. 3. Write an E-book. Allow people to place an advertisement in your free E-book if, in exchange, they give away the E-book to their web visitors or E-zine subscribers. 4. Write articles that pertain to your product or service. Allow people to reprint your articles on their website, in their E-zine, newsletter, magazine or E-books. Include your resource box and the option for article reprints at the bottom of each article.
