Newspapers around the globe publish  their own best-seller lists, looking at short-term sales of books at  certain bookstores.<\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;\"><strong>The Basics<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;\">\n<p>Most  best-seller lists look at the most popular books at certain stores  during a one-week period, though the Amazon.com best-seller list updates  every hour. Because these lists show short-term sales, they do not  include books that have sold steadily over time.<\/p>\n<h4>Writers&#8217; Marketing<\/h4>\n<p>Book  tours and spots on TV programs encourage sales, and as sales increase,  bookstores might place the book up front where it will be labeled a  best-seller. This cycle of publicity helps propel the book into the  spotlight.<\/p>\n<h4>Publishers&#8217; Advertising<\/h4>\n<p>Publishers  sometimes pay big bookstores to include a book at the front of the  store, and they might pay for advertising that increases awareness of  the book.<\/p>\n<h4>National vs. Regional Lists<\/h4>\n<p>A  book does not need to sell at every bookstore to end up on the  best-seller list because every list includes different bookstores. The  website Slate points out that while The New York Times might have the  most famous national list, the Washington Post, among others, looks  instead at regional sales.<\/p>\n<h4>Chain vs. Independent Stores<\/h4>\n<p>According  to Slate, some lists, such as the Wall Street Journal&#8217;s, come from  bookstore chains&#8217; best-sellers, while others, like the Voice Literary  Supplement, track the sales patterns of independent bookstores such as  the Harvard Bookstore and San Francisco&#8217;s City Lights.<\/p>\n<h4>Source:<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/id\/3504\/\">Slate: The Book Industry&#8217;s Best-Seller Lists; Eliza Truitt; Sep. 3, 1998<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/32336521\/ns\/business-us_business\/\/\">MSNBC: Secrets of the Amazon best-seller list; Marion Maneker; Aug. 10, 2009<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a onclick=\"tog('ashley-hayes'); return false;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.answerbag.com\/q_view\/1911864#\">Ashley Hayes<\/a> for this article. <span>Read more:  <a style=\"color: #003399;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.answerbag.com\/q_view\/1911864##ixzz0z5nOhhGZ\">How do books get on the best-seller list? | Answerbag<\/a> <a style=\"color: #003399;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.answerbag.com\/q_view\/1911864##ixzz0z5nOhhGZ\">http:\/\/www.answerbag.com\/q_view\/1911864##ixzz0z5nOhhGZ<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Ashley Hayes &#8212; Many new writers dream of having their books on the best-seller list, but how does a writer accomplish this?
