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