Becoming a self
publisher is in many case a choice that is made however, in other
cases that is the only option. Self publishing has given so many
people a voice that can transcend to places they never dream of. It
has opened up avenues of opportunities and streams income never
dreamed of. It is a splendor to have self publishing available to
everyone, but it is important to remember selling those eBooks is
another ball game all together.
Writing a novel is a great
accomplishment, but if no one is reading it, then it was written just
for you. There has to be a marketing plan in place to get the books
in front of the readers. In no way shape or form are readers going to
know you in the thousands of books being published monthly. Your goal
is to stand out, be visually appealing to the readers.
There have been authors that gain great
popularity, not because they are great writers, but because the are
brilliant in marketing themselves. They have learned the art of self
promotion and bringing readers to their books. Do not wait until
readers find your books, take them to where they are. Writing a successful novel or story is when someone is reading it.
Figure out where your strength lies. If
it is Face Book, go at it with all the knowledge out in the web world
of marketing on that social media site. Do the same with Twitter and
not to forget to use your hashtags. LinkIned and Pinterest are now
holding their own as social media that is worth being a part of. Use
these places to your advantage. This is by no way an easy feat,
however it is possible.
Next article I will write about
whether or not you have chosen the write niche.
Keep going until you lose the
itch to write
