Hello its Peter here again from writers
life today what to ask yourself if your
book isn't selling it's always
disheartening when you finally get your
self-published book up on Amazon only to
find the days weeks and months roll by
and you don't seem to be selling any
copies for many authors generating big
book sales is difficult and most may
only see that a few a month or even less
leave the shelves it's no surprise
therefore that after a while you start
to lose faith and wonder where it all
went wrong at this point it might be
time to ask yourself the following
questions and it's important to be
completely honest with your answers to
if you really want to boost your sales
and get to the bottom of why your book
might not be selling then you need to
make sure you're doing everything in
your power you can to help make that
happen first have you put your book up
at a reasonable price take a look at
what other self-published books in your
genre are selling for if your book is
too expensive then no one is going to
buy it
similarly don't sell yourself too short
if your book is suspiciously cheap
people might be led to believe it's not
worth reading either have you worked
really hard on your book description
your book description needs to
immediately capture your readers and
make them feel as though this is a book
they simply must read spend time
researching other people's descriptions
to see what you can take from them and
take your time in order to perfect it
get it just right next have you put your
book in the right category if your book
sits in a category that's actually not
right for it people who find it there
will be looking for something completely
different and therefore they'll be less
likely to buy it
think about your reader what genre are
they likely to go to to search for a
book like yours next have you had your
books cover professionally designed the
importance of having a professional book
cover design cannot be stressed enough
this is one thing that every writer
should be happy to shell out for without
one reader simply can't take your book
seriously and will assume the content is
as amateur as the cover a next have you
had your book professionally edited
paying for a professional editor is so
worth it if it means that your book is
grammatically correct and error-free if
it means you have to wait to publish
your book so be it your reputation is so
important have you done everything you
can to build positive reviews make sure
you are always pushing for new people to
read and review your book the more
genuine positive reviews you have the
more people are likely to buy it have
you made your book available as an
e-book having your book only available
as a paper bag is really selling
yourself short in order to make sure you
appeal to as wide an audience as
possible it's important to have your
book available in both formats
have you written more than one book the
more books you write the more shelf
space
you take up and therefore the easier it
is for readers to find you keep on
writing build up a collection and you'll
be seen as a more professional and
dedicated writer to have you markets
that your book in every way possible
let's be honest there's probably more we
could all do always trying to keep
marketing your book and try everything
you can think of to improve its
visibility if you answer yes to all
these questions then you're giving
yourself the very best chance possible
to be discovered by your target readers
and for them to enjoy and spread the
word about your book remember simply
adding your book to Amazon's website
isn't enough it's all about how much
time and effort you can dedicate to your
book that's what will most likely help
see a boost in your sales and make your
book a success and don't forget if
you're struggling to write or finish
your book our free writers toolkit can
help with it you'll learn how to
overcome procrastination get organized
stay focused find time to write and
finally get your book published to get
access now while it's still available
