How to successfully sell books online: Why authors fail
Authors fail selling books successfully online because of these two reasons:
- Ego publishing
- Market-influenced Publishing
What are these? I am sure you are eager to get more information. Please read on.
What is Ego publishing?
Ego publishing is one of the reasons a lot of authors are not really getting sales for their books online.
Ego publishing is when an author just decide on his or her to write a book on a topic and to give it a title and subtitle without any need to check or research what the market or his target audience want.
With situation like this, authors love to fan the flame of their ego. They want to determine what the market must accept based on their feelings and their thoughts.
Usually this does not always work out this way. Over the years we have seen very good books but very poor titles and subtitles given to them.
Also these good books, though well written but were written just to satisfy the ego of the author and not to solve any problem the market have.
What is market-influenced Publishing?
Market-influenced Publishing on the other hand is a book project started and executed based on the problems researched and discovered in the market.
These type of books usually have the right titles and subtitles screaming at the author before he finishes writing the book.
Agreed some books projects can come as inspiration or revelation especially for those writing faith based books. You still need to do some little researches to discover useful titles, subtitles, chapter contents etc.
How to successfully sell books online: Doing book marketing researches
Carrying out book marketing researches is a very useful business practice not just for Authors but for businesses generally.
It’s as a simple as this – find out what the market wants and give the market what it wants.
