Perhaps the most difficult part in the life of an author is marketing. Mention the word marketing to any author and watch their reaction. Facial expressions change, moods dampen. I have yet to find an author who says, “I just love marketing.”
Fellow author, I’ve been in your shoes.
Many first-time authors struggle with marketing. Oftentimes, self-published authors and those represented by smaller publishing houses have trouble selling their books. Telling people that your book is “available online” is not enough to generate sales. In order to become successful, authors must develop relationships with booksellers and readers. These relationships have allowed me to enjoy above-average sales for my first book.
Like many newly-published authors, I have felt the elation of becoming a “Published Author” rapidly morph into apprehension as I wondered how to sell my book. Then, during my book tour, I discovered something unsettling…the number of talented authors who have stacks of unsold books stored in their basement. This discovery led me to cast aside the novel I was working on and write Stress-free Marketing: Practical Advice for the Newly Published Author.
Marketing doesn’t need to be difficult. If you are ready to release your title, let me show you how. Allow me the opportunity to mentor you as you walk the path of a newly published author.
Make Your Mark Publishing will Release Stress-free Marketing: Practical Advice for the Newly Published Author in November 2011. Until then, please subscribe to this blog for tips for advice. If there is anything I can do to help you on your journey, please feel free to leave a comment.
