Marketing Guidebook
Most authors don't want to rely on others, so take the chance of success into your own hands by using the Self- Publishing Service offered by you. Included here are some practical marketing tips that will help you to gain potential readers that could lead to the success of your eBook sales!
THE BASICS
We all need to start somewhere and having a solid understanding of what needs to be done is key to becoming a successful author.
These next several chapters pertain to the very basic necessities of what you should consider when creating an eBook and getting noticed as an Indie Author.
A Good Cover
Did you know that books with professionally designed covers sell twice as much as books with poor quality covers? We were shocked, but it’s the truth!
We've all heard the saying “Don't judge a book by its cover”, but don’t fool yourself! A book can have amazing content, but if the cover is unappealing, nobody will take the time to open it.
This applies to printed books as well as eBooks: A stunning cover page might be the one reason why a book catches a reader's attention.
There are tons of books available, so indie books tend to get lost in the shuffle; especially if their appearance is not appealing to potential readers. To be honest, we have to admit that books are often judged by their covers.
Of course, you can't let this get you down. Sure, not every author is an enthusiastic artist. Most authors would rather live in a world of words, than deal with images and design. As you've probably already guessed, we spent some time thinking about this, and we've come to the realization that nobody should be left to deal with this problem alone
There are various groups that discuss the topic “cover design”, but we would like to specifically recommend the "Art Writers” group. There, you will find workshops with instructions to make your own covers AND meet other users who offer their assistance with cover design.
DON'T FORGET: It is extremely important to observe copyright laws at all times! But don’t fear: you can even get advice on this topic from group members. If you lack the confidence or skill to design a cover yourself, ask the group. Our members are great at offering assistance.
All in all, a nice cover attracts attention to your book and therefore, will get you more readers. And that’s exactly what we all want, right? And don't forget - you won't promote your book if it doesn't look good - so put forth a little extra effort!
Go forth, to your design/editing programs, and prosper!
Tips:
-Make sure your cover art is not poor quality and pixilated (blurred) or has text that appears under or through the title of your book (double text).
-Also make certain your images are not sexually explicit or display illegal activity. This includes hate messages and symbols.
-Don’t ever use anything that is copyrighted. You are responsible if caught and copyright laws are strict. If you do not own it or have the permission from the owner to use it, then you are in violation of the law.
A Catchy Title
The choice of a title can be crucial! Not only because an appealing title makes the reader curious, attracts attention, and hints to what the book is about; the title can also cause certain associations in the mind of the reader.
Apart from the obvious requirements of a book title, there is another factor that shouldn't be neglected: Luck. There is always the possibility that a reader will come across your book by chance. The author can actively increase this chance just by using common words in the title of the book. There are some keywords that are typed in store searches more often than others. At bookstores (or online shops), some keywords are utilized more than others. This book title is effective because “vampire” and “love” are frequently searched words.
