I get asked a lot of marketing and publishing questions. Most are easy to answer. But a teeny tiny nanosqueak percentage of them make my eye twitch. The ‘answer on a plate’ types who think there’s a magical panacea-button that will shower them in glittery dollar bills from their millionth book sale.
Anyway. I’m leashing my rant because contrary to excessive sarcasm and perpetual moaning, there is nothing I love more than helping people, especially if that help leads to selling or publishing books. And you know what helps you sell books?
Forehead creasing, caffeine addictions, midnight dates, multiple RSI cures and a laptop for a BFF.
Okay, fine. There are a few other things that rise out of the sweaty exhausted writer ashes to help bring in the dollars:
-
Understanding the market
-
Studying marketing
-
Studying copywriting
-
Experimenting
-
Being up to date with current trends
Very helpful – thank you!
