Many things
about publishing have very
little to do with writing the
book.
So there is my
little bit of information I've gathered for you to inform you
about KDP
publishing paperback
books.
And here's a
little real talk
about the
book publishing industry — it adds almost no value, it is going to be wiped off the face of the earth soon, and writers and readers will be better off for it.
During the two months between the completion and launch of my latest
book, A Writer's Bucket List, I would lie awake at night fretting
about the
book and all the
little steps that go into self -
publishing...
The author Michael Luftman has just recently
published his first
book and has
little knowledge of how to go
about promoting it in this digital world.
I had realistic expectations
about book sales as a new, self -
published author with
little marketing savvy, and I've been careful to keep my self - esteem disconnected from the marketplace.
His advice for ebook
publishing success resonated with me, because so
little of it was
about marketing your
book.
Due to the lower cost of self -
publishing, authors can offer their
books for as
little as $ 0.99 and have the opportunity to use innovative and low - cost marketing strategies to spread the word
about their
books and engage with their readers at a personal level.
Each
book you
publish will probably do a
little better, because you'll be learning and improving all the time, and growing your author platform (unless you're one of those writers who is completely ignoring your author platform, not learning anything
about marketing, and just hoping to get lucky).
