Are you wondering why nobody seems to be buying the book that you slaved over for months? You poured your heart and soul into it and tried your best to make it unique and compelling yet your sales are slowly trickling in mostly from friends and family? Is there something wrong with your book? Is this some sort of statement on the quality of the writing? Should you even bother trying to write another one? These are some of the questions that may be going through your mind if you are a first time author and especially if you are self published. The first thing we would say is, you are not alone. Before you are too hard on yourself take a look at some of the reasons why your book isn’t selling.
Hopefully we have been able to give you some ideas on why your book isn’t currently selling (or selling as much as you hoped). It’s important to not let that self-doubt creep in too early. While it’s possible that you wrote something that nobody is interested in, it is not that likely. There is a market for almost any kind of book you have written, the challenge is finding that market and getting your book in front of those potential readers. We will have additional articles over time that could be helpful to you so we would encourage you to watch this blog and to subscribe to our newsletters. Our community of authors is here to help you be as successful as possible whether you join us or not. Happy writing and best wishes for success with your books!
