Print on demand publishing tricks for new and known authors? Consider Your Book Cover Design Carefully: Your book cover design is an important tool for marketing your book to readers. With great print quality and a good cover design, no one will be able to tell your self-published book from one that’s published by a major traditional publisher. It’s good to educate yourself on what makes a good book cover design, but if you aren’t a designer by trade, it’s also best to hire a professional.
Facebook page: This free online site is a fast growing mecca of people around the world. Unlike a blog, your notices or blurbs are limited to smaller chunks of information. You can add a cover image of your book, links to your web site, or information about your topic. Twitter account: What is Twitter? Think of it as news radio in real time, all the time in tiny, short bites of information only 140 characters long. Each time you post or tweet something it goes out into a cornucopia of information that people can access on their computers or cell phones. A well informed bio is important.
Mind your own business. Author Stephanie Bond, who has had her work published both traditionally and independently, told USA Today that writers need to learn about more than just writing: To this day, when aspiring writers ask me what courses they should take — English? Creative writing? Should they pursue their master’s in fine arts?—I tell them they should take business classes. (I’m such a killjoy.) But I see so many people with talent who flounder in their careers because they’re not prepared for all the business decisions they have to make before and after they sell a book—how to get a good agent, how to recognize a fair offer, and how to hold out for what they want. And making money is only part of it. A writer also has to know how to manage and invest their money. To be a writer is to run your own business. And if you don’t mind your business, no one else will.
