There are many things you must do well to
sell your books. Here are eight important
components of hooking readers into buying
your books.
Write quality content. Your content has to
be free of typos and grammatical errors.
Also, it must be well-structured and pleasant
to read.
Ensure clarity. Make sure readers will
understand what’s happening throughout your
book. A great way to do this is to have a
smooth transition between every scene,
particularly if you’re writing a fiction story.
Proofread. After you finish writing the book,
carefully read over everything you wrote or
have someone else do it. When I proofread my
works, I painstakingly look for errors, make
sure I understand what I just read in each
paragraph, make sure no paragraph is too long
and make sure all paragraphs are
double-spaced.
Edit. Correct each error you or someone else
finds during the proofreading stage.
Have a good book cover. Your cover must look
attractive. If you’re self-publishing your book
and want to handle the cover yourself, please
use Pixabay – they provide quality images you
may use for personal or commercial use.
Write powerful blurb for fiction books. You
can write well plus have a solid title and cover
for your fiction book but it likely won’t do you
any good unless you write a powerful blurb
that is sure to prevent readers from bolting to
the next book on sale. Strive to have at least
four to five short but powerful paragraphs
that are likely to build up enough intrigue;
pay attention to the back covers of
traditionally published books.
Keep in mind the probability of a preview
for your book. Amazon provides a “look inside
the book” preview feature for all books. If I see
the book is full of long, single-spaced
paragraphs or I become confused about what’s
happening in the book while reading the
preview, I won’t buy the book.
Promote your books rather than letting the
market take care of everything for you. If you
don’t promote or market, people can’t find your
works.
