Revive your Book!

6 Steps to Crank Up Your Sales, Get Passive Income Flowing & Attract Clients on Autopilot!

Sadly, not many authors have the continued success, Cara is describing. In fact, continued sales are the rare exception among Indie Authors.

Have you published a book and it never really took off?

A little burst in the first few days, but then fizzled away?

Then let me share with you the 6 most common reasons why books fail and how you can fix it.

#1 – Unpopular Topic

Did you research before writing your book whether there was a market for it? Interested readers in droves?

One common marketing myth is that competition should be avoided. You should find something noone has done yet…

Completely wrong! – THE MORE COMPETITION THE BETTER!

Why?

Because you have a MUCH larger reader pool and most competing books aren’t selling (because they never learned how).

There are exceptions: If you have a large following in a niche topic or know how to access those readers through other thought leaders…

or…

you know for a fact that something is an upcoming trend, then being the first is GREAT!

My book 👉 INFLUENCER FAST TRACK was one such case. Among the first two books on a topic that was just about explode a few years ago. The book is actually not about Instagram, but how to quickly build a thought leader platform, but people went crazy for it!

It was one of the easiest launches ever and made thousands of dollars just the first few weeks alone.

Even more so with my 👉 PASSIVE INCOME FREEDOM book! – And while this one now has a LOT of competition – and it is still selling well and would still have a successful launch – even if a little less than a few years ago – because the topic is still extremely popular and people are always looking for new ways.

Why is my book still selling while most of the other Passive Income books fail?

Because it has 👇 all the below factors👇 in place and you need all of them – in addition to a marketable topic – to revive your books and keep’em selling.

Let’s have a look:

#2 – Title

.How much time did you spent on crafting a marketable title?

Title + Cover are the #1 + 2 reasons why people buy! – Mess one of them up, and your book will never make it, no matter how great of a writer you are!

Let’s start with the TITLE:

Headline writers for People Magazine and co. are paid up to 6 figures for just headline, especially on the cover.

Why is that?

Because magazines have found that they sell VASTLY more copies with irresistable headlines.

Take that in for a moment.

One of the top (8 figure) bloggers in the world, Jon Morrow – spent a full year writing 100 blog titles every day until he became a master and one of the best paid writers in the online space, before building his own 8 figure brand.

You might not have time for 100 dailys 😍 for a year – but how about 10 per day for 2 weeks?

Using title templates that have proven to work. Trigger words and understanding the psychology behind great titles and why they are irrestitable. Templates that already have all the goodies in place, and you only have to adjust to your topic.

It’s much easier than you think, but you need proper guidance and then put in some practice time.

Make sense?

And…

You need keywords in both title and subtitle or people simply cannot find your book when searching for a topic on Amazon. Meaning, if your book is about “Dog Training” and you don’t have that anywhere in your title – and, ideally more related keywords in the subtitle – noone will ever find you!

👉 BIG AUTHOR BOO-BOO:

Never get attached to your titles or covers!

You may think they are clever and brilliant, but unless they are crystal clear and has the all above elements, people will move on and not even click.

If you have to “explain” your title, you have already lost.

Got it?

On to…

#3 – Cover

Did you design your own cover or have a friend do it?

Really LOVE your cover and think it’s the greatest 😍 – but it’s not selling?

We’ve all been there and it’s not easy, but we can’t get attached to our covers! Once again, there is an art to this and it doesn’t mean you need to be “artistic”.

You simply need to understand what works and what doesn’t and…

a great, marketable cover is non negotiable – and you can’t do it yourself (unless you have a LOT of book marketing experience and know from experience what works!)

For starters, go to the Top 100 Bestsellers of your niche and watch how you react to each cover. Some will be irresistable, others you don’t even notice.

Why is that?

What makes you click and what doesn’t?

Observice carefully, because it is also niche specific (cookbooks for example).

Covers don’t need to be pretty, gorgeous or impressive. Less is more online, especially with a small thumbnail, and the most important thing is clarity!

👉 Is the Title clearly legible

👉 Does the cover stand out among all the other thumbnails

👉 Does it represent *your* style? (being different is good, certainly worked for my books, but it also matched the personality and style of the content – my branding so to speak – that’s why it worked.

👇 👇 👇

BRANDING is incredibly helpful for selling books & growing a following!

Having a clearly defined brand and author personality can make a huge difference in reviving your books and generating more sales! – If you have’ve ever read one of my books, you know what I mean by that!

#4 – Pricing

Did you test out various price points?

I found that each book is different and it also changes over time.

Some books sell better at a higher price – while others do really well (and make a lot more money cummulatively) at $2.99!

To test it out, book a 99c promo for 1 day to get some sales going – and then switch to $2.99.

If sales continue for a week, you can try raising the price and simply follow what sells.

#5 – Reviews

How many reviews do you have and are they mostly positive?

Is there any critical feedback that you could improve on? – BIG helper… don’t be offended. Those people might be doing you a huge favor by giving you the rarest of gifts: “The Gift of Honesty”!

Getting more reviews can also be a way of reviving interest in your book – and word-of-mouth promo!

I would not pay for overpriced review services, but instead:

JOIN relevant Facebook Groups and become a VALUED MEMBER!

Meaning:

👉 Don’t pitch your book! – (you’ll just get banned, it’s rude, and those people will now never read your book!)

👉 GIVE helpful feedback and support others any way you can FIRST – for some time!

👉 Then, after the group members know and appreciate you – STILL DON’T PITCH! – Instead, ASK FOR HELP! – People love to help and be a part of your experience and success, so allow them in. For example, if you are changing title and/or covers, let them vote and give feedback.

People LOVE giving feedback and it makes it fun & exciting for them! – Be humble and share that maybe you struggled before with your book, but that you feel that it would really help people – and that you are now trying to revive it. Would they possibly be willing to help you?

Can you see how much more appealing and maybe even irrestible that is?

Those folks might even share your book with their friends on social media and give you a shoutout – they might become your strongest ambassadors and there is nothing more powerful than word-of mouth! – But you need to GIVE FIRST, genuinely care about their needs and then ask for help spreading something that you feel is valuable.

Make sense?

This can become your biggest traffic source going forward – assuming the other points above are in place.

You are welcome 🙂

#6 – Evergreen Referrals

This is one of the most underused resources!

Are there institutions, organizations or bigger thought leaders in your niche – either local or virtual – that could add your book to their “Recommended Resources” on their website and other outlets (even their books).

For example, if your book is relevant to a university curriculum or student life, might there be a few colleges who could add it?

If you write about a certain health condition and had great results – might there be a few doctors and hospitals that might recommend it?

You get the idea…

This alone can set your books up for long term success without you doing anything once it’s set up.

👉 IMPORTANT!! – You will need all the earlier points in place or noone will be interested:

Marketable Topic
Irresistable Title
Outstanding Cover
Numerous Reviews
Pricing will be less of a challenge with this kind of referral

How to get all the above in place?

If you already know, you can skip this part. If, however, you have struggled in the past and realize, this isn’t a quickie fix, but needs some in-depth training, including:

👉 Irresitable Branding and Author/Brand Personality

👉 Ensure a marketable book topic – without writing a new book!
