0.0001% books make it to a web series or movie. Your book may be great or the best, but there are invisible steps that most authors haven't yet made. So, the question you want me to answer is how to turn your book into a movie or a web series.
There are two ways: the first is cost-friendly, and the second is super expensive, which only a millionaire can afford. Before I answer this question, I want to ask whether your book is worth making into a movie. When I talk about worth, it's not about a beautiful story but about non-stop curiosity and deep engagement.
There are a lot of other things attached to it, but what I am sharing is out of my experience with a few movie directors and producers in Bollywood. Most authors come to us to connect with movie directors and producers; we know exactly what they look for. Let me share two ways to turn your book into a movie or a web series.
Way 1: Cost-effective method:
A movie is not about a story. It is about the ROI for a production house. So, they look for a proven concept loved by the masses, and a best-selling book is the only proof that they believe in. If it is a bestseller, it is loved by the masses. That is what they believe in. What it means is that if you want a famous production house to consider your book, it should be a bestseller.
Let me tell you what a best seller looks like.
It should be listed under a cutthroat, competitive mass category.
It should have tons of reviews from the readers and not from professionals.
The book should be selling in 3,000-10,000 copies a day.
The next question is: how_to_turn_your_book_into_a_bestseller so you can achieve your dream? But before that, let me share something. If you are a millionaire or multi-millionaire and want to go big instantly, get in touch with the few production houses. They will take the risk to create a web series. When it comes to movies, good brands do not bet their brand image for your money, no matter how much you pay. So the only option you have left is a web series.
The third bonus way is to directly pitch your manuscript to the directors and producers. If they like it, then they will buy the rights. But it is very hard to reach them unless you have any direct links. This is what authors were struggling with before they met me.
Now, how to turn your book into a bestseller? A best-selling book needs a huge investment and groundwork prior to the launch. But I can give you a 36,000-foot view right now:
Step 1: Find the perfect audience for your storyline.
Step 2: Build a list of the interested buyers and readers.
Step 3: Launch the book.
Step 4: Get reviewers, get reviews, get a minimum of 10,000 reviews in 1-2 years, depending on how soon you want to be noticed.
Without 1,000 reviews, no director or producer will look at your work. It is my personal experience that the director or producer may make your book into a movie only if he is your friend.
The smartest way would be to plan on turning your book into a bestseller. If you do not have anyone to help you, you can talk to our team about a custom best-seller plan by emailing us.
Now, you know, the secret to getting your book noticed by directors and producers. All you have to do is create a plan, a nonstop marketing bus and show that your book is worth making into a web series or a movie. Your dreams can be achieved with DIY or DFY solutions, provided that you have your strategy or roadmap well-planned out.
