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

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.

Authortube: How to Design a Great Book Cover | One Word (Three Simple Parts)

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.

Thanks.

Authortube: Behind the Scenes – Going to Press

Today’s we’re off to the races, er, to press to put the soon-to-be-released CAUGHT AND BLACK HEADLIGHTS into the publishing machine.

Peace. Enjoy.

Poetry coming.

Status Report – 091322

Posted on September 13, 2022 10:01 am by A.P. Fuchs

Status Report – 091322:

The body and brain aren’t cooperating today. I’ve got stuff to do and things to think about and I feel like my body and mind are filled with cement.

Thus is the life of a writer: be at the keyboard anyway.

We’re putting the final touches on GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE and getting it ready for press. I also have the newsletter to start and a freelance gig to do.

We’re at the stage in book production where I’m now going to focus on releasing them one at a time instead of working on all three (GATORS, YEAR FOUR, THE LONG YEAR FIVE) at once behind the scenes. Basically what’s left to do is double check the formatting and cover checking.

All this takes time because I’m working with a team so can’t go whole hog and do it all in a single day like the old days. Was mentioning to Melinda last night how I once heard publishing is a young man’s game. The older I get, the more I feel that. But don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.

Off to work.

This has been your Status Report for 091322.

On Not Writing

Posted on July 8, 2022 7:04 am by A.P. Fuchs

On Not Writing

With the two waves of books I plan on putting out this year, I’ve been so busy as my health will allow that I haven’t been getting any writing done. It makes me feel down and sad especially since there’s no way I’m going to finish the Axiom-man books in time for comic con. Writing them is one thing; publishing them and all the time that takes is another.

So I’m kind of left without a path because I’m busy getting books ready for print and eBook and don’t have a creative outlet.

I don’t know.

Just venting.

Need to come up with a plan.

Project Rebuild Update

Posted on June 3, 2020 11:55 am by A.P. Fuchs

Project Rebuild Update:

This is just a note to say that Project Rebuild has resumed. A few health lapses put the project on hold as well as a few things outside of my control. The good news is my health is in a better place so I’m able to dedicate the appropriate amount of time to it. The main goal is still to have Project Rebuild be the overarching project for 2020. The only thing that has changed are the specifics to the timeline (like release dates).

Anyway, I’m eager to get back into this because it’s an important piece of my overall publishing puzzle.

I’ve been writing since 2000, drawing since before then, and publishing books and comics since 2003.

My various social media presences are:

Ello

MeWe

Twitter

Facebook

Instagram

Pinterest

My Patreon page is here. It’s a fun place where I post serial novels, essays on the creative arts business, stuff from behind the scenes here in the Great White North at Axiom-man Central, and more. Join me and my other patrons and be a part of something entertaining and interesting with consistent content.

On Saturdays, I send out my newsletter, The Canister X Transmission. It’s a weekly newsletter where we all come together after a busy week, unwind, and kick off the weekend. Presently, we are finishing off The Long Year Five, and Year Six will start before the first half of 2020 is over. Join us.

Tip: If you see an Agent, you do what we do. You run. You run your ass off.

End station identification.
