Self-Publishing Without a Huge Audience With Author James W. Lewis

The stats say that most authors will only sell 100-150 copies of their book. When my first book sold five copies in the first six months I certainly believed those stats.

Let’s face it, selling books these days is hard. There was a huge boom for self-published authors in 2011 when self-publishing first became popular. These days there are over 13 million books on Amazon and thousands being added each day.

With a combined online presence of 4,000 people James W. Lewis’ debut novel sold over 10,000 copies. He partnered with his wife and a friend and they started a publishing company. Combined they’ve sold over 30,000 books.

I was SO honored to sit down with him and get some killer self-publishing tips. In this 29 minute interview you’ll learn:

How to get your book traditionally published.
The difference between self-publishing and traditional publishing.
How to sell books when you don’t have a huge audience.
The best way to think about your self-publishing journey.
How to deal with one-star reviews and haters.

Didn’t James rock it? I do have to apologize about all the background people. That’s what I get for doing this interview outdoors

James has killed it by combining his network with two other people. With 4,000 people they’ve rocked it and so can you. This backs up what I was saying a couple of posts ago. Partner with the third tier and build a better network.

You can do this and I’m excited to see you rock this year! What can you do to help your book sales?
