Promotional Copy
You know what it takes to sell 1,000,000 copies of his book?
Almost everyone who contacts my office for help with editing your needs pounds, I think the next best-selling millions of copies. Because they do not usually walk on the dreams of another person, always listen politely before asking the question: "How do you propose to sell 1,000,000 copies?
Usually I have the same answer: "Everybody would like this book …" Most people can not understand what it takes to sell 100,000 copies, 10,000 copies or 1,000 copies, for that matter, not about 1,000,000 copies.
According to the Guild of the author, a successful fiction book sells 5,000 copies and a successful fiction book sells 7,500 copies. The major publishers have a book if they think they can sell at least 50,000.
However, the publishers own statistics make depressing reading. Largest service companies of the author of the report: an average of 100 copies sold per title. 14.3% of authors sell more than 200 copies. 3.4% Editor sell over 500 copies.
Why then see so many people writing books and trying to be on the bestseller list of New York Times? Just because you never know when your payment book.
The New York Times' (Edward Watts, 15 March 2006) "Joel Osteen, a television evangelist, has signed a contract offered by Free Press, a division of Simon & Schuster, that publishing some say is potentially one of the richest in a fiction book and could discredit the author of over 10 million dollars. "While his book Your Best Life is good, the marketing team behind really have to sell three to four million copies.
As pastor of the largest church of the "nation" with the Department of media that reaches 200 million households, Osteen could write the Gospel of Humpty Dumpty and easily sell thousands of copies. The point is, used his circle of influence, so brilliantly, I might add.
You must do the same. I know you probably not have the same scope, but the principles are the same.
1. Who knows? 2. Who know? 3. How can you get to them?
You should begin to "sell" her book, while in the process, he wrote.
I do not believe in the "caution" writing, where they hide the world and never let anyone know about your project until completion. Of course, you want to be selective, but if it takes two years to prepare your manuscript, further six months, nine months or more to produce, is that this time was spent in marketing your book.
Start by making a list Full contact their relatives, friends, associates, business relationships, memberships, etc. Call, write or send an email and let them know about his book and Expected completion date. Ask them to help spread the word.
You can also learn about networks or opportunities through which you can build his book – before publication. The idea is to leverage your contacts as possible.
Promote the commitment of buying several books at a discount or a motivation Once particular the book published. Thus, the possibility that there will be hundreds or thousands or customers waiting for their release.
Once gone, still the rule of five as John Kremer, author of 1001 ways to market your book. Kremer states, "All you have to do is follow this simple rule: do five promotions the day. That's all. Do five promotions each day (a day off, time to time for good behavior). Make a phone call. Write a letter to an editor important. Send a catalog to a key sales contact. Hand write a short note to the press release you send to specific media. Follow-up call. Make at least five promotions a day and within a year we have made over 1,500 contacts listener. I guarantee that if you make five contacts legitimate each and every day for a year you can make sales. But it must be consistent. This is the secret heart. Now that you know, do something. "
