STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD
AUTHOR OR
BUSINESS PERSON? You can be an artist & still have a good head for business
Your books
are launched, first flurry of sales has slowed, so what now? What happens now
separates the authors from the business people. Gone are the days when one of
the big publishing houses looked after your marketing. Now its DIY promoting or
you are on that slippery downhill slope to obscurity.
As well as
living in the age of self-publishing we also live in the age of online
opportunities. Okay so there might be a million other books out there to
compete with yours, HOW DO YOU MAKE YOURS STAND OUT? Hard work &
perseverance is the short answer.
Let’s break
that down. Getting your name out there is number one. I’ve had 1000
eye-catching bookmarks printed & I hand them out or leave them where they
hopefully will be seen. I’ve started selling my books at local markets.
I am
exploring online sales sites other than those listed with CreateSpace/
Amazon. I am looking at Payhip at the
moment. It looks goods. They make payments for your books through Paypal.
I’ll put
further updates as I progress with my Business Venture.
Markets are the go.
Recently visiting Port Douglas market.
I will be selling my books at the Carlyle Gardens this Saturday Come & say hello
