Hardworking Authors
By Jerry D. Simmons | February 18th, 2010 | No Comments » (Click to add yours!)

Every day I receive emails from authors who are busting their backs marketing their books. They are serious, hardworking, and leave few stones unturned. Many times the problem with lack of sales is that the author has not attracted attention to their book(s). That means that your message, book, or you are not being adequately marketed. Don’t allow this short term frustration move you in the direction of the scam artist who will charge you hundreds if not thousands of dollars for so-called “guaranteed” programs, products or services they attempt to sell to unsuspecting writers and authors.

Don’t buy before you know the questions to ask! This rule of thumb will save you precious time and money on programs, products and services that do not work. I don’t have all the answers but I know the questions. If books were easy to market and sell then every author would be successful. The fact is, marketing and selling books is hard, but if you remain consistent, don’t give up, and always, always ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY ANYTHING, you’ll be better off and have more money in your pocket.
