Learn the art of naturally speaking about your self published book in your everyday conversation. Make it your business to play the game. The game is finding a way to talk about your book no matter who you're talking to or the subject you're talking about. The more you do it the better you get. The business is doing it.

Many writers and new authors think their work is done once they complete the writing of the book. However, they quickly find out that the writing part is often simple compared to the constant branding, marketing, promoting and publicizing that it takes to spread the word about their new book.

In life as in the business of self publishing things tend to run in cycles and have there seasons. Therefore, since you know your book is going to be published and you have a title it is great to get into the habitual habit of talking about your book to all whom you know and don't know.

Your book deserves to go through a natural growing progress and will have the best chance of succeeding in life with your infinite imagination.

Self Publish Book Page Count

Are you considering self publishing your own book? Do you need to know how many pages your self published book should be?

One indicator is to look at best selling and/or popular books in your genre to get an idea for there page length.

Put yourself in the consumers shoes and ask yourself if you were browsing books in a similar genre and both were priced the same, but one seemed to offer more information which would you most likely purchase?

It has been my experience that there are a number of factors that contribute to a book selling or not selling. One of those factors is page count. Other factors include in no particular order your branding, marketing and promotions campaign, you ability to speak in front of people on a regular basis, your media hype machine (publicity), recommendations/endorsements from respected people in your genre, your burning desire, practical written plan and daily execution of that plan.

Self Publish or Traditional Publisher

There's a difference between a traditional publisher, vanity press and self publishing your own book.

Self publishing is what I do. It is where you set up a company and handle all aspects of the publishing process -writing, editing, graphic design, marketing, promotions, distribution and royalty collection. Since, you do all the work and/or outsource to other professionals then your company is due the lions share of the money generated.

There are pros and cons to self publishing as with anything. However, self publishing positions you to create intellectual property that may be placed in your estate and passed on to future generations. While I admit it isn't for everyone, I'm believing that more often than not most people can and should go the self publishing route. As you begin to garner certain amounts of commercial success it may be wise to partner with larger companies. Typically, when you start doing so well larger companies will approach you because they've heard about what you're doing. They are much more inclined to offer you a better deal although not much better. LOL

Up until this part we've been talking primarily about publishing physical books. There's also publishing through your blog, website, ebooks, special reports and audio books, etc.

7 Self Publish Book Marketing Tips

Traditional marketing wisdom teaches us that it takes about seven (7) impressions before people respond to an advertisement or marketing materials. This means they must hear, touch, taste, smell, see or otherwise experience something before they buy. If we hold that to be true it's safe to assume that if you were to enter a new market without any set up you are doomed to fail miserably for the most part, because most the people at the book expo or trade show would only have heard about you and your book for the first time. There are exceptions to the rule. For instance, if you are relentless in your efforts during the event you may be able to change your sell to impression conversion rate. In an attempt not to use to much jargon here are some solutions.

1) Prior to attending an event use social networking to tap into the local market. Myspace, Tagged, Linkedin, etc.

2) Prior to going to an event create video and send it out to people using your social network platform

3) Hire a publicists or pr firm in the local market you're going to in an effort to get press. Ideally this should be done 6 to 9 months for print media. Obviously online media needs less time.

4) Do your on publicity or pr work informing the local market of your arrival and where you'll be signing books.

5) KNOW THIS: Branding, marketing, promotions, advertising and publicity is a 24/7 activity. If you're on the road traveling leave flyers in the gas station & restaurant in route. You never know who may see your material. I often leave flyers vividly displayed right at the gas pump. It works!

6) If you're on the plane give out flyers and business cards, etc. while waiting to board and while on board the plane. Every situation is an opportunity to sell many books.

7) Click the image below to find out how you can dramatically increase your myspace friends and improve your marketing campaign.

How Many Books Have You Sold?

I had the opportunity to do a book signing with a young lady. She told me she had printed 1,000 books and was happy that she had sold nearly all of them and that she was preparing to write her second book. I said great how soon before you go to press to get more of your books that are nearly sold out. Her response "I hadn't thought about reprinting." WHAT, I replied have you ever considered that their are billions of people on earth. Your book is your intellectual property that should be reprinted and packaged as many times as the market will bear.

These books we write and publish I told her help set us up for residual/passive income that may be passed to future generations. This is how we continue to build our legacies I suggested. After that she said she would reprint her first book.

My point here is to say that many times we stop before we have begun with no fault of anyone or anything but our own.

Money to Self Publish Your Own Book

Money has made many of us unable to tap into our creative imagination. Even before money it has been my experience that you need to have three things in order to succeed in most cases.

You Need:
  • A Burning Desire
  • A Practical Plan -preferably written
  • Daily Execution of that planned
Through your experience you too have found that while money may be used it isn't the thing that most will separate those who succeed and those who fail. After all it is reported that Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before getting the light bulb right. When asked why did you continue after failing 10,000 times he replied I figured if I found all the wrong answers I was bound to find the right one, because that would be the only thing left.

You'll want to distribute your book as an ebook. For details visit Make Money Self Publishing.
