Where were we? Oh, yes:
SO YOU HAVE A NEW BOOK TO MARKET:
Great. You and a zillion bizillion others.
Here's the 3 Step Formula for Success in Your Venture:
Step 1: Discover What Is Unique About Your Novel
Here’s the most important step, and if you plan on skipping it, you might as well stop reading right now.
Whenever you launch a new book, you’ve got to fill a need in the market with a solution that doesn’t exist.
I know that sounds complicated, but it’s not.
All you’ve got to do is this:
First, Take a look at your main competitors (look at the biggest and best only) and figure out their core topics and target market.
Second, Write those topics on a piece of paper, and then begin to write other topics that might be related.
Finally, Begin combining 2, 3, or 4 topics together with your personality, and you’re set.
You may not have unique ingredients, but you’ve got a unique recipe.
And that unique recipe is all that matters.
I’ll say that one more time…
For a successful launch, you don’t need unique ingredients.
You need a unique recipe.

where a Lakota shaman fights interstellar invasion and the denial of the world's governments.
Just as PENNY DREADFUL is in the middle of its second season, this audio book will be released.
Also THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON will make its debut as well.
People will be in the mood for another spectacular tale of a team of misfit heroes
banding together to fight overwhelming odds.
At least I hope so!
Keep your fingers crossed!
What are steps TWO and THREE?
Stay tuned ...
Any reasons why no comments? Just curious. :-)
ReplyDeleteNo comments just yet? Maybe because everybody is still recovering from Monday, at least that's my story. Came home from work last night, crashed on the sofa, and woke up at 10:00. Sigh. Sometimes life just keeps us from doing what we want to do--like visit friends' blogs. But now I'm catching up, obviously!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to learning steps 2 and 3, Roland my dear.
Helena:
ReplyDeleteI know a bit how you feel: Sunday I worked 16 hours straight, driving 500 miles in blinding rain, delivering blood. Ouch!! I slept most of the day Monday.
Thanks for being my friend, Roland :-)
