Experts in the Industry  agree, there are a number of specific strategies & tactics that should be employed to insure success as an Author. Simply writing a 'Great book' may not be enough to attract readers or achieve  a large & sustainable fan base. Key areas of a winning strategy and overall plan for success will involve many specific points. These points should all be considered & attended to, in order to give you a competitive edge & ensure your success as a writer.

CONTENT:    Sure, write what you want, love or know, however, many authors these days are actually researching popular categories & subjects BEFORE creating their new books. Targeting a popular audience and fan base before creating the actual story can result in much more popularity & sales of your next project. Remember a 'Pen Name' is okay, & many working writers are catering to specific audiences these days to achieve mass readers & sales.  In many cases a short 'Quick Book' for a niche market, that an author can pen within a week, can result in 10's of thousands of sales. 

TITLE:   Catchy & relevant Titles that employ 'Key Words' that will result in higher search ratings online.

COVER DESIGN:   Authors find this extremely important in the presentation of their product & sales conversions.

REVIEWS:  Upon Launch of your latest books, Reviews are a key factor that will greatly affect your search placement & overall sales of a property. Getting good reviews ASAP is an important factor to success & there are a variety of ways to go about this, from social media reading groups to paid services that provide feedback.

PROMOTIONS:   In order to get as many early readers & positive reviews to your book as you can, there are a number of marketing tactics that should be employed at & BEFORE your book launch. These PROMOTIONAL steps may cost you in the first 1000 reads, however they will lead to better placement and sales of your next 10-100,000 paying customers. 

DISTRIBUTION:  There are a number of online services for both e books & printed physical copies. Knowing the advantages & intricacies of these platforms can greatly affect your sales, exposure, reader base & long term success. 

MARKETING:  Marketing is absolutely critical at the launch of a new book, but it is also something to consider during the 'long term' listing of your book online. Attracting new fans is always key, & converting an existing fan who enjoys one  book into a paying customer of three or four will surely be beneficial to any Author. 

As always, we try to prioritize FREE ASSETS & SERVICES directly, however we have also included some external programs & assets that will eventually lead to optional 'upgrade' services that cost to buy-in.  In some cases, like 'Title Design', we encourage you to explore our site for useful assets like 'Free Images &  Free Graphic Design Resources or  Software' & extra information about 'Digital Marketing',  but we also realize a working Author may want to out source those tasks, so we are also linking some affordable & helpful services to address those needs.
