Don't do the same thing in the same way try a different approach to attracting readers ...

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Nick, thanks for your Reader Magnets: Build Your Author Platform and Sell more Books on Kindle book. It's very timely. I've 5 books (paperback and eBook) exclusively on Amazon. One thing I've learnt - do the same thing in the same way and you get the same results - for me the results are poor measured in sales. Good to great reviews but very limited sales. I believed it was all about writing more books (books 6 and 7 are in progress) but in 2015 this will change. I'm planning to follow your advice to the letter. I write in two genres English humour and for children (8 to 11 yr olds) it will be interesting to see how well your techniques work for me. But nothing ventured noting gained and if I see any increase in my average daily book sales I'll be very happy.
This is a must read for all self-published authors. Writing a book is (comparatively) easy, selling it is another very different matter. (My comment about writing a professional quality book being easy is a joke really but compared to successful sales/marketing it is.) Goodread readers as I'm sure you are aware writing a quality book with appeal is not easy. Thanks for your understanding.

When you (self)publish your writings - bad, good, or excellent - they are there for the whole world to see. Like any artform or skill authors improve as they learn - life is about learning - but they do it before the eyes of their readers. In recognition of this my blog is inviting you to join me while I develop my craft. So please participate: feedback on my postings, I'm listening. Thank you, James
