After you publish your books your work is not done - you now face the task of selling your books. Many authors can self publish, however actually selling your book, getting people to read it and making revenue off your hard work requires more work on your part. Follow these tips and learn what is the best way of selling your books:
Market your books through online bookstores.
You can sell your books through online bookstores such as Amazon.com, Borders.com, Boksamillion.com, iTunes and Walmort.com. POD publishers generally reach out to a broad network of tens of thousands of retailers, libraries and merchants looking to offer new books.
Buy your own ISBNs for your books.
You should buy your own ISBN (International Standard Book Number) for $99 and create your own publishing house. You can buy ISBN's at lulu.com or RJ Communications or Publisher Services.
Use searchable titles for your books.
Your book should have a unique title that is easy to search for. You want to get the maximum search engine optimization so using a title that allows your book to pop up near the top of search results and not get bogged down with other products is important.
Design or select good book covers.
Your book cover should look good as a small thumbnail. You want your book to stand out against others and catch potential reader's eyes.
Use Amazon.com to sell your books.
Simply posting your book Amazon isn't enough - utilize tools to make your book surface. Tags, listmania, reader reviews, etc. Your book should be in 5 browsing categories (which is the most allowed) to optimize the amount of people that might run across it while browsing.
