There’s a difference between being an author and a bestselling author.
But what does that really mean? How many books do you have to sell to qualify? Is getting on the New York Times Bestseller List a realistic goal? Is there a secret to getting on that list?
Book marketing expert, Rob Eagar, joined me on Inside Scoop to answer those questions.
Rob has helped both fiction and non-fiction authors hit the New York Times Bestseller List, along with USA Today and The Wall Street Journal. He just had a client about 120 days ago, who was on all of those. And helped a book that was 23 years old finally become a New York Times Bestseller, after already being in print for over two decades.
Here are four of Rob’s pointers to sell more books.

Where the Crawdads Sing is one of my favorite books and it’s becoming a movie! It takes a team of people to create a bestselling book.
And one of the most important people on that team is your book editor! The editor of Delia Owen’s bestselling book is Tara Singh Carlson, who joined me on Inside Scoop.
Tara is an Executive Editor at G.P. Putnam’s Sons and has worked on The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo (which was also a Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick), on The Family by Naomi Krupitsky (which was a Read with Jenna pick in November), We Must Be Brave also by France Liardet and many celebrated and bestselling authors.
Here are a few points from Tara about what editors do and how they can help your book become a bestseller.

If you want to be an author (or already are one) I’m going to let you in on a secret: You are also a business owner.
Yep! Having a book means you have a business (like it or not)!
Writing for fun is great but being a professional author means you need some business know-how to be a success.
I learned a lot about this after my first two books Listful Living and Listful Thinking were published and since I media-train authors I get a first-hand look at what happens in the book world.
And as I start the publishing process on my first fiction book, I’m already learning that the business opportunities are different.
Book publishing and business expert, Jane Friedman, joined me for my live-streaming show Inside Scoop to teach us all about The Business of Being an Author.
Here are four insights she shared to help you make the transition from amateur to professional.
