Write a book that customers want BEFORE you spend time on writing it

Most authors go with their "gut feel"or intuition when they choose a book topic and title. They focus on picking a smartor catchytitle that sounds attractive but ends up confusing their readers.

Moreover, most readers are bombarded with hundreds of book titles every day, so if your book topic is not crystal clear (to someone who glances at it in 2 seconds), then you might be losing sales.

Given that there are many free research tools available (including Google and Amazon), there is absolutely no reason why authors should waste their time and energy on a book that doesn't sell.

After taking this course, you'll learn how to craft the perfect book title that is descriptive ANDpersuasive before you start writing it. You'll end up with a book that grabs attention and turns more people into buyers.

Tips from a 7X Amazon Bestselling Author

My name is Hassan Osman and Iunderstand how it feels to write a book that doesn't sell. When I wrote my first book back in 2006, I spent every weekend for a year at a local coffee shop typing away at my book. When it finally got published, Ithought that all that hard work was going to pay off immediately after launch. Unfortunately, it flopped and barely anyone bought it. Ilearned the hard way that Ishould have focused on marketing before Iwrote a single word.

Picking the right topic and title before Iwrote the book was how Ishould have approached it.

Today, I'm the author of 14 books, including seven Amazon No.1 Bestsellers. Iwrote all those books while working a full-time job at Cisco Systems (note:views are my own), so you can follow this simple process without spending a ton of time on it.

I'm also the podcast host of "Writer on the Side"where Ihelp employees become nonfiction authors.

In this course, you'll get simple tips about picking the right title from someone who's done this multiple times.
