To publish an e-book can be challenging yet interesting. To sell an e-book is critical. Though the trend of self-publishing across the world has radically heightened, when readers can’t find that high interest upon looking at your book, there is no way for them to buy it.
The best way to do it is simply make sure you, yourself, as the author of your e-book is highly impressed by your work. If you are, there is no reason why readers can’t see the spotlight of that story you want to tell them.
Selling copies of your e-book can be so critical. Your frenzied fans will have all the reasons to either recommend it to their other friends or not. So, make sure that from the cover design of your book, you are giving your best.
From the cover, readers’ eyes will surely be dragging down to some eye-catching words on it. Write the best description for you book so readers can find no excuses of not adding it up to their cart.
This simply refers to a good book and a good book means a well-edited, well-presented, and well-formatted one. So, don’t get tired of re-editing your work because it is only you who can profit in the end.
See to it that your book price isn’t so much of pain for the buyers and at the same time, can give you satisfaction to yourself on the kind of manuscript you’ve just done.
The more e-books you can offer to the readers, the more buyers you can tap. Amanda Hocking, author of the best-selling e-book, Trylle trilogy, became a self-publishing multi-millionaire with her teen supernatural thrillers before bagging a$2M publishing contract with St. Martin’s Press. She writes more and keeps on earning millions.
Advertising knows no limit. Today, one of the bests and proven effective way to get your book an exposure before the right audience is through constant advertising. Getting in contact with the prospect readers through social media works well as it’s getting a vast number of users in the world. Statistics says that 80 percent of social media users prefer to connect with brands through Facebook.
Think as many ways as you can in the name of your book’s exposure. The more spots your books are available, the better. Compete with the other authors and think of ideas you think will surpass their ways. Competition is healthy because it drives you to aim higher.
When there’s a chance for you to sell your books internationally; grab it. You need to experiment things. When one seems not to work out; hop on to better chances such as hiring book sellers whose passion is selling. Don’t hesitate to trust and ask help when most necessary.

Not all people are born to pursue the same path in writing. Not all people are destined to become a book author and not all aspiring writers are destined to be successful and best selling novelists. Your book needs to be published, bought and read by the people before you can claim yourself to be a book author or a successful novelist. So first, you need to publish your book before people can recognize you’ve written that manuscript. Today, the entire complex process to make it happen has been abridged in parallel with the world’s high technology. You don’t need a publisher when you can self-publish your book. Nobody is required to approve your time and your effort.
Every aspiring writer has specific interest. Before thinking about moving forward, make sure what genre your book embraces. Know who your book audience are and see to it that your book catches their attention by their first time looking at it. Impress the readers with what you actually know and what you can share to them.
You as an author, have all the right to judge your book before others can. Judge your book first by its cover. When you are not satisfied with the design of your book’s cover, try one more time and even several times until you will be satisfied. When you are content with the outcome of the design, there is no reason why others might not be feeling the same.
You can go on and start self-publishing your book with no required approval from huge publishing houses. You simply do it by yourself and continue until you reach the highest peak of your self-publishing. How does it work without the aid of these gigantic companies which used to be contacted by aspiring writers and given proposals for possible publication of their works?
Scale yourself. When you think you can do everything such as editing your work over and over again; then you can just do it and save that money you can pay for a professional editor. You are the boss in this new trend in the world of literature; so you’ve got the power to manage the way you want your self-publishing go.
Imagine yourself receiving criticisms from the readers about your book. Surely you can’t impress everybody but if all of them are complaining about the same problems of misspelled words and grammar issues; then the problem really exists. Make sure your book is well-edited and the flow of the content is smooth so readers won’t be misled.
Especially when you are just a new author and are self-publishing, people do not want to spend much of their money on your book. You need to do the experiment first by setting a very low price for your book and from there you will know if they have the sympathy for the genre you are trying to lay emphasis on. When you are sure you’ve done all the professional works necessary to perfect your book; there is no reason they won’t be impressed by it and that’s the beginning of your name to be established. In that case, you can start setting price for your next books that is reasonable for both of the readers and you.
