How can I be a bestseller? With my novel?

[Steven J Pemberton]

You don't really have any control over it. All you can do is write the best novel you know how. You can market it, and blog and tweet and Facebook, but it's up to readers whether they take any notice.

The best thing you can do, once the book's finished, is start writing another one. Hardly anyone becomes rich and famous from just one book. I don't know if this information is readily available, but you might want to look into the careers of authors who've made the bestseller lists and figure out how many books they'd had published before they first hit the list. I doubt very many of them did it with their first published novel. Of course, that method excludes all the authors who got published but never made the bestseller lists at all...

Sell lots of books. And work on your grammar.
