It's a common complaint I hear from authors all the time. "my book is not selling but it's a great book."
I have to ask what are you doing to help sell your book? Are you just sitting there and hoping someone will stumble upon your listing on Amazon and find your book interesting enough to purchase? That is not how it works. I've said this a million times.
After you publish the hard work begins. I don't care if you are traditionally published or and Independent author you still have to put in the work to promote your book.
- Get out the door and attend local events like craft fairs, church bazaars. Where ever they will have you and most importantly, where your genre fits. Ask you local independent book store if you can have a signing.
- Can you write a series. A series sells more books. You can also bundle a series of eBooks together as I have done with Kindle.
- Use social media. It takes time to post on Facebook, Instagram, and X (twitter). I spend at least an hour each day on social media promoting my books but it pays off.
It's the age of technology. Use it to your advantage.
