Marketing Tip

Determine your audience and prepare a marketing plan before you begin writing your book. These activities will help you focus your writing, thereby making your book better. If you think your audience is everyone, think again. The closer you can identify your potential buyers (gender, age range, preferences) the more successful your marketing efforts will be because you will know where to find them.

Book Tip

Where will your book be shelved in a bookstore? Are other books there? If so, there is a market for that topic. However, if your topic has been covered extensively (think diet books), then your book needs to have a unique angle if you want it to sell.
