How Much Does Random Chance Account for a Writer's Success?
Reblogged from Richard Levesque:
I read a lot posts about marketing and selling books. For the most part, they say the same thing. To succeed, a writer (indie or otherwise) needs to:
Blog
Have a website or "landing page" for his/her book
Use social media (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.)
Develop a "platform"
Build connections with a community of readers
Develop an email list/newsletter
Have an amazing book, a professional cover, and a catchy blurb…
I have another bullet point I could add to this author's list of things one needs to do to become a successful writer: Create a conglomerate/sorority/fraternity/clique of writers who pool their resources and promote one another to success. Come on indies, let's really band together!
