Selling It

My goal with this project is to write and publish a best seller. Now, as you can probably surmise, I have never done that before. I won’t let this stop me though, I know I can do it. One of the things I have learned in my research, and learned as an entrepreneur, is that marketing is more important than what you are selling. Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but if it is, it’s not by much. You can have the best product in the world, and if you can’t tell the right people about it and then get those people to buy it, then you are wasting your time. So what does that mean for Project Best Seller?

Being an author that publishes books is like running a business where the main product is you, the author. So, the author must advertise themselves. Since I am about as broke as you can be without actually being poor, I will be doing this the free way: Social Media.

When? Before you even start writing.

How? A lot, every day, testing and adjusting. troll some forums maybe.

Who? the right people. your ideal reader.

where? one platform consistently, preferable the platform your ideal reader uses.

what? content that you can produce consistently and test and adjust. something your ideal reader wants.

why? to build a following that you can eventually sell your book to.
