In the world of self-publishing, you write,
publish, and promote your book. If you are fully equipped with the right tools,
doing all bits and pieces at the right time, and targeting your right audience,
you get lucky and can earn millions from your work.
Some
successful self-published authors including Amanda Hocking and EL James have
sold millions of copies of their books through maximizing their strategies in promoting their books around the world. They have their own ways and
techniques in pursuing the kind of success they achieved. And for sure, they
have become your inspiration. You start imagining yourself reaching that same
kind of fame and acquiring that same amount of profit.
While
it is great to know that these authors have served as your inspiration, you
don’t need to imitate their styles. You have written a book and come up with a
unique theme that makes you a distinctive writer. For sure you can do the same
distinctiveness to come up with new ideas on how you can work on your promotion
without necessarily chasing the same legacy of those who have already
succeeded. In
order to reach the peak in your self-publishing journey, you need to take the risks,
invest, and above all, work beyond your comfort zone.
All these factors, when summed up, will
result to great profits in the end. In order for them to be working well,
old ideas should be eliminated. Sometimes, you feel that your mind is full of
different ideas, ramblings, and problems on how you start responding to them
all together. Over thinking about any causes and possibilities of your actions
can result to being sluggish. And so, like the overused line goes: DON’T RUSH
THINGS OUT. Set your self-publishing goals one after the other in order to
avoid stress.
Know that you are in charge of
your every decision and move in self-publishing. So, when you feel like your head is about to
burst due to so much over thinking; perhaps, it’s time for you to clean up your
mind from all these. You can try these tips to begin: stop at what you are
doing, listen to calming or soothing music to de-clog your mind, watch a
wonderful view of green grasses outside your house, or take a walk outside to
keep you away from all the bombarding thoughts in your mind.
Go back to the basics about
self-publishing.
Focus on one book marketing strategy, make time to think without
distractions, set your goal based on that focus, maximize all print and digital
materials that are only related to that strategy, and take actions that are
only related to your set goal, and achieve it slowly but surely.
Always be positive. Starting your day positively on what you do
will make you gain upbeat results of your strategies in the end. And when you
are slowly achieving your goals, it is safe to say that you are now on your
comfort stage of taking more actions for the benefit of your journey.
Take higher steps when you
feel accomplished. While working on your own comfort zone can provide positive results
in your book marketing strategies, it is not enough to stay on
that stage. Move further and hop on to taking advantage of the other book
marketing strategies you have in your mind. Moving
forward is now maximizing the other available sources anywhere in the world
such as the social media, the print media, the World Wide Web, online forums
for your fans, community exhibits, and more means that can help your book
promotion strategies work even better.
Stress- free environment is simply among the many
factors for your successful self-publishing journey. Without it, it will be too
hard for you to even know where to begin. Like any other episodes in life,
self-publishing needs your time, effort, and actions; and in the end you get
the consequences—bad or good. You might need some help from the others in the
process; yet so long as you know your focus, you will never be lost.
