Start with what you have. You have heard it hundreds of times. But what does this mean? You have already published this book and you are on Amazon. Congratulations!
How to do? Now, fun and fanaticism have begun.
You push people to buy it. You share a link from Amazon. You can download it for free via ebook. You run a Facebook ad. You posted a blog about it and you sent eblasts. You will be creative, make a book trailer and some blog tours. You wrote a press release. You push yourself to the media. You can book yourself through podcasts, or you can conduct tele-conferences or play podcasts around the subject of this book.
I hope people buy books, talk about books and then have more people buy books. call!
Book sales soared for at least three months. Then you know what happens after about 90 days?
No.
You are exhausted and tired of pushing books. You stop pushing it and your sales tank. All of this hard work, you are now in a state of stagnation.
This is not enough for the author. You must be an authorpreneur. You must have a strategy to turn your books into a business.
No matter what topic your book is, you are an expert and an authority. You should not be limited to being a salesperson for a book. You are the CEO of the information products business.
Authorpreneur creates courses, books, audio books, home study courses, lecture series - even "brand" products such as T-shirts, periodicals, backpacks or mobile phone cases. This is what we call "product line extension."
Think like an entrepreneur - not like a writer. from
Of course, you can talk and sell books behind the room. But you are not taking full advantage of the entire business model that books can achieve.
- You can hold an annual meeting or conference around the subject of the book.
- You can create a complete sales channel and start a video/audio course for different levels of learning. Consider launching a series for those who are just beginning, then intermediate and final.
- You can guide individuals and consult with the company.
- You can sell your books in bulk to your organization.
- You can become a paid spokesperson, columnist or regular contributor to the media organization.
- You can get sponsors and provide content for their blogs.
