Discover your readers

To get people to buy your book, you need to understand what kind of people would be interested in it. Your readers aren’t everyone, and the more specific you can be about who they are, what they want, and how they shop, the easier it will be to plan and execute your marketing campaigns successfully.

Be personable

Selling books is an art and the more you are willing to put into it, the more likely you are to persuade people to buy. One of the angles you can try is to try and connect with people on a personal level, and to do that you need to share details about yourself. Readers love feeling as though they know the authors and will be intrigued about who the person is hat wrote the book – so be prepared to share if you want to see those sales soar.
