Have you written a book? Was your book ever published? Were you able to find out how many books you sold? For a typical book, the average number of total books sold is only 1,000 copies. This can lead to a loss in profits and drop in your business representation. Do you think you can avoid a low number of sales? A key step to this is to create a quality mailing list.
One that has customers with whom you have established a relationship is called a quality mailing list. It's possible for your mailing list to be increased further if you work with another author or several authors. Working with other authors to create a book allows you to swap lists and promote the book together. Thus you have access to thousands of new customers.
Another major step is to figure out how you can control the distribution of your book. In order to find out who they are sending your book to and their contact list, you can work with your publisher. But remember that often, publishers will shy away from giving away free books. In order for you to have access to free books, you can try to create a deal with your publisher. For marketing purposes, these free books will then be given to select contacts.
Considered as another key task is presenting additional offers with your book. An example would be being able to include free reports for book buyers if they go out to your website. These free offers appeal to many customers. All of these offers can even be placed on the front cover of your book.
Planning ahead is a must since most likely, you will lose money on your book. Books are a huge investment. Therefore, the profit from a book should not be the sole source of your income. In the future, you may live of off royalties, but that would be an idea situation.
Lastly, having your backend components in place is also important. This means that you have to have an actual business that backs up your book. A book is not enough to keep you afloat. You should not jump into a new business area with just a book. You need to be an expert, or have access to an expert, to create credibility for your book.
Complete these key steps and your book will be well on its way to a #1 best seller.
