There are many things you must
do properly to sell your books. Let’s dig in on
how to master 8 steps to draw readers today.
1. Write quality content. Your content has
to be free of typos and grammatical errors.
Also, it must be well-structured and pleasant
to read.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Edit. Correct each error you or someone
else finds during the proofreading stage.
5. 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.
6. Write powerful blurbs 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. I
have learned a lot about writing powerful
fiction blurbs through ‘Fiction Blurbs: The
Best Page Forward Way’ by Phoebe J.
Ravencraft and Bryan Cohen.
7. 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.
8. 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.

things to do as an author. Adhere to them to
