Preselling a product before you create it is usually a good strategy. That way you can determine if there is a viable market before you spend time and resources on developing the product. My friend Ken McArthur (famous for jvAlert, jvAlert Live and his digital watch) has managed to presell his upcoming book so well that a major publisher is making it their headline book this spring. A big advance has been paid, full color ads are being printed, everything for a big book campaign is in motion.

In taking the pre-selling concept just a little too far, Ken has a slight issue: he hasn't written the book yet!

I've written many reports and ebooks so I know that writing a full length book is a lot of work, at least it is for me. So I would feel under pressure and be a bit worried if I was in Ken's shoes. When I'm embarking on a new venture where I have no prior experience I always try to find a good mentor who's already successful at what I'm trying to accomplish. For his book writing project Ken has engaged one of the best in the business: Glenn Dietzel and his team from Awaken the Author Within. They are confident that Ken will be able to write a bestselling book in just 12 hours.

One hundred pages in 12 hours equals 8 pages per hour, which is about 30 words per minute. That is only half the speed of a good typist, but it is presumed that while typing, Ken will also have to put some thought into what he is writing. This system must be awesome! Once I learn how it works, I will be able to turn out 10 lengthy posts every day for my blog.

Ken has invited me (and you) to watch over his shoulder as he's writing his book. You will learn the tips and tricks Glenn and his team use to make Ken a bestselling author in record time. If you're doing any amount of writing this could be a very interesting and educational journey to watch. Ken is a big and generous man, but there is limited space to watch over his shoulder.
