Book promotion Myth --
The Best place to Sell Books is a scrap book Store
Judy Cullins
2001

When most people think of buying books they think of
bookstores. publicity guru, John Kremer, author of
1001 Ways to present Your cd says "I'm happy I
don't rely on retail "brick and mortar" bookstore sales
for my income, but it will be nice to accumulate that icing on
the cake into my cash flow again."

In the similar to three years, John has sold 45,000 copies of
his book, many from non-traditional publicity strategies;
his web site, his eMagazine which offers tips, products and
seminars, specialty stores, foreign markets, libraries, and
back of the room sales. Because he is a recognized name,
he and supplementary bestsellers by renowned authors acquire a lot of shelf
space in the bookstore--cover side out. For your lesser-known
book, lonely your spine will feat and after three months of
initial placement, your record will fade away unless you put
on your promotion cap to acquire customers to the store.

In one lp coaching session, a new client thought he wanted
to sell to the bookstores. I asked him who was his particular
audience. He said issue people. What kind of business
people? get these people go to the "brick and mortar" bookstore
for a event book? Or, will they be more likely to visit a
particular situation Web site for specific kinds of matter books?

DID YOU KNOW?
*Seventy percent of US adults haven't been in a bookstore
for the last 5 years
*Bookstores sell only 45% of every books sold
*Bookstores compensation non-sold books to the author-think of the
Starbucks people dripping their coffee and scone on your book.
The author will get those returns.
*Bookstores will understand 90 days, even a year to pay you for your
total lp sales
*Bookstores unaccompanied order two or three copies at a time because of
limited shelf space
*Bookstores purchase without help from a distributor or wholesaler.

Why the huge push to get a wholesale or distributor and get into
the bookstore? These people represent thus many new authors;
don't you incredulity how much attention your autograph album will receive?
They precise healthy fees, something like 55%. That leaves a small gain
for the author, and remember, bookstores, distributors and
wholesalers don't broadcast your book!

After her distributor went tummy taking place and she directionless $160,000, one
author said she would rather have more control exceeding her priceless
products. She distributes them all herself now through various
venues that exploit her personality.

Authors spend a lot of epoch and money chasing the improbable,
when the "golden egg" of self-publishing and self-promotion is
right in tummy of them. In my opinion, I'd sell my books everywhere
except the bookstore!
