>write a good book
>know the audience that the book is intended for
>gain the awareness of said audience through social media, newsletters, etc
>launch a book, mentioning to your now loyal fans that the things you create that they love are now available in a book
>leverage a good start into a great run by running the proper ads in the proper places
