Marketing – Finally we have some Publishing Common Ground…
Digital format or Print format, Traditional Publishing or Self Publishing, or Publishing things other than books, there is a common thread in all these publishing efforts – Without an Effective, Comprehensive and Complete Marketing Plan, you will not sell anything!
With no sales, the best you can claim is that you are a Published Author. But hey, no one is ever going to ask you how many books you have sold, unless it is another Author or a Publisher just checking you out. But even the Authors that write just because they love to write, love it when someone buys one of their books.
And if you are one of those that write books so you can sell lots of books, I know you. You get up every morning, and the first thing you do is to run to the computer and pull up the latest sales figures for the day before, just to see how many books you sold yesterday. And your brain is saying….(“lets see, I sold 11 books yesterday at $10 profit each, that means i put $110 in the bank!)
And the second thing you do is to yell “Hey Lynda or Hey Mickey, (or whoever your spouse is), I sold 11 books yesterday! WoooHooo!”) or words to that effect. Who said that authors have to be old and stuffy.
