How do I get to be a NY Times bestseller?

Becoming a bestseller of any kind typically requires high sales numbers within a specific timeframe, and whilst that is only a small part of the process for becoming a NYT Bestseller, and not always necessary, it is necessary for you to have a PR company based in New York, attend many social functions networking with the New York Elite and publishing world, as well as investing a lot of money, often to the tune of $150,000 USD to be in with a chance.

Some people have become and NYT Bestseller for a week, but those who stay on the list invest heavily in the marketing and PR of their book within the US.
