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

Posted on August 19, 2024 6:07 am by A.P. Fuchs

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

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.

Authortube: My Book is Not Selling! What Do I Do? | Part One: Encouragement

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.

Funko Friday: Authors A.P. Fuchs and Melinda Marshall Funko Pops

Funko Friday: Authors A.P. Fuchs and Melinda Marshall Funko Pops

Who says superheroes and other Pop Culture characters only get Funko Pops!

Here’s authors A.P. Fuchs (superheroes and monsters) and Melinda Marshall (dystopian YA novels) Funko Pops!

Last Christmas I got myself, my girlfriend, and my kids custom-made Funko Pops as a gift. It was done through the Pop Yourself feature at Funko.com. It was a little round-about way to get them because Funko doesn’t ship to Canada (at least when I ordered last October) so I had to first ship to someone I know in the States then have them ship the Pops to me. It took a while but it certainly made everybody at Christmas happy and very surprised.

Go Pop Yourself at Funko.com!

Don’t forget to stay to the end for more Funk Pop! videos.

Authortube: What to do When You Write Yourself into a Corner (and How to Get Out of It)

Posted on July 26, 2024 5:27 am by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: What to do When You Write Yourself into a Corner

(and How to Get Out of It)

It’s okay. It happens. Sometimes the story rolls so strong you just go with it and see where it takes you. Unfortunately, though I firmly believe the Story knows best, sometimes a writer finds themselves in a place where they have written themselves into a corner and there is no way to move the story forward. Everything and everybody in your tale is stuck and locked in Time. You tried to fix it but only made it worse. You don’t want to scrap it or rewrite a pile of stuff that came before this point, and even if you backtracked, it wouldn’t be the same. What you have is perfect except . . . you’re in a corner.

Here’s how you get out of it and get the story moving again.

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:

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:

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:

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.

For all titles, please visit the Realm of Heroes and Monsters on Amazon.

Authortube: How to Write Your Back Cover Synopsis | 3 Easy Steps

Posted on June 24, 2024 5:11 am by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: How to Write Your Back Cover Synopsis | 3 Easy Steps

Most writers complain when it comes to part of making a book where the back cover synopsis has to be written. Plenty of writers struggle with writing it . . . but it doesn’t have to be that way because, in truth, it’s a basic process. Case in point: If you’re able to sum up your book in one to four words as a title, it’s guaranteed you can sum up the same but just a little more loosely.

Follow these three simple steps and you’ll be writing your back cover synopsis with ease.

Status Report – 061824

Posted on June 18, 2024 5:00 am by A.P. Fuchs
Status Report – 061824:

We’ve been busy behind the scenes here at Axiom-man Central. Here’s a rundown of what’s currently going on this superhero year:
- AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING: About 1/3 complete with plans to finish mid-July then move on to AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS.
- Axiom-man in-house collectibles for direct order and conventions and signings: Playing cards – in and done. Stickers – in and done. Special high-end-soon-to-be-revealed Axiom-man collectible – in production with an ETA at Axiom-man Central of approximately two weeks.
- Blog/website coding upgrade: In process but gaining ground.
- YouTube offerings: Set for the week.
- Patreon: New material being slowly added for future postings.
- In-house book stock: Under inventory review with the mind to get in copies of the first half of the year’s releases in July plus any additional stock I might need.
- Secret FREDRIKUS project: Slowly coming along. Very slowly.
- Freelancing: Two projects in the pipeline
That’s about all my headspace can handle at the moment for immediate work. There are some other up-in-the-air items as well, but those are in a floating-in-the-ether stage without any firm landing point.

All we can do is focus on the above, get it done, then continue.

This has been your Status Report for 061824.

Posted on June 7, 2024 5:16 am by A.P. Fuchs

Authortube: Don’t Overthink the Story (The Subconscious Mind)

There is a tendency to overthink while writing, especially amongst new writers. You want to do well, want to make a good impression, want to come up with something well-written and perhaps clever, and while these goals are good, they can also lead to the slippery slope of overthinking your story.

This video goes over adjusting your headspace so there is no disconnection between your conscious and subconscious mind due to overthinking your story.

The solution is simple. Watch and find out.
