After toiling for untold hours writing and editing your book, you’re finally ready to publish and have decided to go the self-published, digital-copy route. All that’s left is figuring out where to sell your eBook and how to get it noticed. Big-box retailers aren’t always ideal for beginner and self-published authors because their stores tend to be glutted with other authors selling their own work for pennies. Instead of struggling to set yourself apart from the teeming masses of hopeful literary stars looking for e-reader fame, you might find that a smaller-scale approach is right for you and your marketing plan.
Sell Your EBook Independently
Freed from contracts with major publishing houses and profit cuts with agents, self-published authors in today’s literary world have almost unlimited earning potential, provided they take the time to understand the ins and outs of marketing. Figuring out the best place to sell your eBook if you wish to stay away from traditional methods can be challenging but is by no means an insurmountable task.
Make a Plan for Distribution – The most important part of marketing your work is ensuring that interested customers can access it quickly and easily through a reputable source. Working with an online distribution service like PayLoadz.com enables you to integrate your account with PayPal for easy payment processing and allows your customers to obtain the files they’ve paid for instantly, with no hassle.
Use Your Own Website – It’s easier than you may think to generate income and move virtual copies of your work on your personal website, especially if purchase links allow customers to access their purchases instantly through a distributor. Make sure that a link to your website is in the signature areas of your email and message board accounts and is included in any “About Me” sections on social media sites to drive traffic from your friends and followers.
Don’t Underestimate the Power of Your Blog – An updated, well-maintained blog with a steady number of regular readers can be a powerful marketing force. Those readers are an audience that’s already shown an interest in what you have to say and are likely to be among the first flood of purchasers. That depends on them knowing that you have released a book.
Social Networking Sites – With a few social networking profiles and the help of a content delivery service, modern authors can generate interest and income by promoting themselves and their work on various social networking sites. Because your PayPal account can be integrated with your content delivery service account in some cases, the process is streamlined and simplified. With a few clicks, new customers can be reading your eBook in no time at all!
Authors are no strangers to creativity. It requires an abundance of imagination to write a book in the first place. Try to think outside the box when it comes to choosing where to sell your eBook. The most creative approaches are often the most successful.
