The Gap Between, Writing, Promoting, and a Purchase →
As someone who has written multiple books, I understand the frustration of putting in the effort to produce a book only to need help with getting it purchased. Where should a writer look to lay blame for slow sales results? The choices would be the content, promotional effort, or distribution point.
For many, Amazon was an obvious choice and primary focus for book sales distribution. However, for others, including myself, this choice has resulted in paying more than what is earned in sales for an extended period. This "gap" between effort and sales is worth pondering. An easy assumption is that the problem can be pricing, but the solution may lie in the book genre or content.
Positive reviews, feedback, and even some sales can be confusing when the gap between effort and results persists. Exploring other avenues for book sales, such as listing on KOBO, D2D, Apple Books, and B&N, can offer promise and access to new customers. However, there is still a learning curve in promoting and finding traction by adding additional distribution and marketing points or by going “wide” using multiple approaches to find sales.
Writing can be addictive, but as a marketer, it is frustrating to be addicted to efforts that yield little results. The gap between action and successful sales is a common struggle for writers, but those who overcome it can teach others and find success in their genre. On the other hand, it is often those that don’t overcome it that close their own gap by resorting to teaching others how to succeed
Paperbacks vs's Hardbacks & eBooks →
Reading increases our knowledge of the world. The attraction of words and the stories they create is like living multiple lives. But of course, that is the real message here, but there is no harm in considering what kind of book might be regarded as the best, format-wise.
I prefer the hardback format when I read a book, but where do you put them? At least they look good on a shelf, but I need more room with about 2000 + books (both hardback and paperback) in my library. Paperback books are number 1 in sales, indicating they are preferred over hardbacks.
The jury is still out for me on eBooks, but the more I get, the more I like them.
An entire library is a significant influence, so the quantity of books matters.
Big established publishing companies and established authors like the hardback because they make more money for them.
My thoughts about this are very different as a self-published author. I love eBooks because they are easier to do than paperback. Shorter books don’t cost as much to produce, and storage is no problem. Paperbacks are my favorite because they seem more like actual books.
75% of adults in the United States read a book in some format over the last year
32% of Americans claim they only read print books
33% say they read both print books and e-books
9% say they only read e-books
23% of the respondents said that they don't read books
10 Reasons that Paperback Books are Best, Compared to Hardbacks
