  • 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This video carries an assortment of behind the scenes looks into the my process of checking a book prior to press then going to press itself. If you’re a book production or creation nerd (I mean, book designer), this video is for you.

    Peace. Enjoy.

    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

    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.
