Tips for selling more books
- Have a rocking cosplay costume! The cosplay costume should:
- Draw attention – Tell people you are an author promoting your book and watch them sell themselves.
You don’t have to be pushy, you just gave them a good Cosplay experience and so they think you might give them a good book experience too. - Allow people to see your face – A costume that hides your face won’t sell books as well.
Note: If the costume is someone other than the author, then any costume that brings attention to the booth works.
- Draw attention – Tell people you are an author promoting your book and watch them sell themselves.
- Pile your the books high. The bigger the pile, the more you will sell.
- Put your book in as many hands as possible. People are more likely to buy if they hold the book.
- If they turn you down, ask them to buy your eBook from Amazon as it is cheaper.
- If they turn down the eBook, get their email or ask them to put your book on their GoodReads To Reads list or Amazon wish list.
- Run a give-a-way for something that isn’t your book. If you are giving your book away, no one is going to buy it.
