    Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Seven – In Conclusion | What Book Marketers Don’t Want You to Know

    vLog Authortube My Book is Not Selling What do I do Part Seven - In Conclusion What Book Marketers Don't Want You to Know thumbnail

    It’s time to wrap up this video series on how to market your book when your book sales have come to a standstill. A lot was explored over the past six videos and, for this one, we summarize things and point out the one lesson that underscored the entire marketing series. Pay attention because it’s an important one.

    Oh, and as a PSA, if anyone comes to you offering a secret method to book marketing, run. They are trying to sell you something and aren’t truly interested in your project. Watch this video for more on that.

    Thank you for sticking with me throughout this series. I hope you learned something. It was also a good refresher for me. Time to keep putting things into practice. It’s the only way to market your books.

    See you on the shelves!

    Oh, and please subscribe for all the latest Authortube videos!

    Thanks.

    For this part of this book marketing series, A.P. Fuchs invites you to take a break and let things simmer. Starting with a chili metaphor, Fuchs explains the principle of letting things cook as you go about marketing your book and why that’s important.

    The video based on this article. Please share this important message.

    As writers and artists, it’s either we speak up now or we screw ourselves going forward. This is my effort to speak up. Up to you regarding what you do but I strongly urge you to start making noise right away because otherwise the next thing you’ll know, the publishing industry will be even more doomed than it is already is.

    The choice is yours.

  • Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Three: The Copycat Method

    Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Three: The Copycat Method

    vLog Authortube My Book is Not Selling What do I do Part Three The Copycat Method thumbnail

    This particular method of book marketing is very effective because it allows you to take what works and apply it to your own projects. The copycat method is just like it sounds: Copy.

    All marketing is based on the copy principle. The “how to copy” is different depending on what you’re marketing, but in this case, we’re talking books and comics–though the principle applies to any product–and how to take things to the next level as you market your book.

    Watch this video to find out how to go about it and how to execute the Copycat Method. I won’t lie. It will take some work, but it will be worth it in the end.

    Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part Two: The Plan

    vLog Authortube My Book is Not Selling What do I do Part Two The Plan thumbnail

    This book marketing video takes the bull by the horns and is intended to be the first step in increasing book or comic sales. The reality is, once a writer or artist puts out something for the public that they have to pay money for, that writer or artist has become a business, and to get the book or graphic novel to sell means you have to treat your finished work and the distribution thereof as a business as well.

    In this video, A.P. Fuchs teaches the basics of assessing your current business plan even if you didn’t have one written out to begin with. This video will not show you how to create a business plan from scratch but rather how to extract a business plan from what you’re already doing for your review.

    This is part two of helping authors and artists increase the sales of their work from a veteran publisher and author of twenty-five years, who has been published both traditionally and has worked independently.

    You’ve done all you can. You wrote the book to the best of your ability, you got an editor to correction some issues, you got a fancy book cover, and solid distribution.

    Yet your book is not selling, or not selling in the amount you want. What do you do? How can this be fixed? Surely must be a way to move copies.

    What am I doing wrong? You might ask yourself.

    The following video, part one of a series, might be of help. Step one: Encouragement.

  • Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review

    Posted on July 2, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs

    Publishing Books: The First Half of 2024 in Review

    Since we’re at the halfway mark of 2024, I thought this would be a good time to review what’s been published this year so far. Link to book page in the descriptions, but this is where we stand so far in publishing books this year.

    There will be a publishing gap until later in the fall. There might be one thing, but that’s in floating status at the moment. The work is done. Just an issue of assembly.

    AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY:

    Axiom-man/Crimson Cloak: Scarlet Synergy thumbnail

    Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own. Not again. Meeting a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak, Axiom-man and this red stranger must fight their way through a hotel of madness where each new floor brings on a deadly challenge. Go to book page.

    CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS: POETRY COLLECTION:

    Caught in Black Headlights Poetry Book thumbnail

    All right, World, this is how it’s going to be: Rhymes and verse, Melodies rehearsed, across life’s rocky sea. Read a poem, maybe two, pick three if you wish to dare. Ramblings and coherence, sometimes jots of incoherence, anything for poetic flare. Enjoy and explore, please do, I implore. Let’s talk about life bizarre ’cause it’s pretty complex stuff, said Harvey Pekar. Go to book page.

    THE CANISTER X TRANSMISSION: THE VERY LONG YEAR SIX:

    The Canister X Transmission The Very Long Year Six Collected Newsletters thumbnail

    Running from June 2020 to March 2024, readers received news straight from A.P. Fuchs’s bunker studio at Axiom-man Central that was meant to engage, entertain, and have some fun. Go to book page.

    A lot of authors feel overwhelmed when it comes to book cover creation. Whether you hire it out or do it yourself, you know that a good cover will potentially lead to a book’s success. What is a good book cover? What makes one cover stand out from the one next to it? What’s the most important part of a book cover? The image or graphic? The colors?

    In this video, 25-year self-publisher A.P. Fuchs reveals the one word that makes or breaks a book cover. One word with three parts. Watch and see. It’s very simple. If you use this one word as your engine for your cover, you will have a good cover.
