    About this ebook

    Nobody cares that you wrote a book!
    … at least not yet!

    It’s true that most people won’t be interested. So, you wrote a book. So what? This is a common response and one which often takes new authors by surprise. But the fact remains that if you want to sell your book you must develop the right attitude.

    Your Book Won't Sell Itself: Reframe Your Mind, Jumpstart Your Sales is a short read which aims to provide an insight into what you should do to market your book and get those sales moving, with chapters on things like:

    • Why authors need to promote their books
    • Marketing, advertising and PR
    • Your book marketing success formula
    • Visibility roadblocks and how to avoid them
    • 12 ways to sell more books

    Marketing is a mindset you must develop. It isn’t optional and it shouldn’t be an afterthought. It should be at the very forefront of everything you do, right from the moment you start writing your book, and should be present in every phase.

    If you do it correctly your buyers also become fellow marketers, sharing their reader experience with friends, family and colleagues.

    Get your copy of Your Book Won't Sell Itself now. It’s the first step to your perfectly marketed book.
