Who has not dreamed of being a bestselling author? It somehow seems to tie back to this instinct of leaving a legacy, of leaving something behind that we will be remembered for.

Or maybe even having something now that we are recognized for.

I have to admit that I would love to see myself as a bestselling author. But I am also a numbers person. There are 950,000 books published each year. That is what Wikipedia has to offer on the subject. So being number one is almost like winning the lotto.

Except, that there is a way to influence the outcome, rather than just relying on luck, according to Mark Joyner. He has achieved bestseller status 3 times already. He says that there is an exact blueprint that will lead to anyone to be the next bestselling author.

How does this relate to a freelance writing career? Well, if you’ve got bestseller status on your profile, it should help with convincing clients to pay what you are worth.
