Selling books and marketing books overview

Selling books and marketing books is the next step in self-publishing.
Selling books and marketing books is the next step in the self-publishers journey. Your first book is written and now you are wondering how to print it. While our choice is clear — meaning to print your books with Star Print Brokers — that might not be the first choice for everyone. That is because we print only high-quality books on press, so we have low unit costs but our minimum is 1,000 copies for hardcover books. Also, he softcover minimum quantity is 2,000 copies. If you are printing board books for little little children and babies, our minimum is 1,000 books.
After printing, binding, and delivery of the books to the self-publisher’s door or delivery site, you will need to go to the next step. That means selling books and marketing books.
QUICK TIPS
- Be skeptical of package deals. Consider the cost of each service. Is it really a service you would pay for or that you need? What is the cost per book?
- Look beyond the suggestion of distribution. Can a service really get your book into brick-and-mortar bookstores?
- Make sure that you are not being paid only a modest royalty. Keep100 percent of your profit. Buy the ISBN yourself, so that you are the publisher of your book.
- Build a brand, even if it is only a logo, colors, and typefaces. The other especially important element is to define the image to project to the world.
- Visit a physical bookstore as well as Amazon to help you to develop a pricing strategy.
- Sell books on Amazon because they have the most traffic.
- Print with Star Print Brokers because they print the best books.
