When Your Niche Audience Finally Finds Your Self-Published Books

So, What happens when those lucky customers finally find your books?

When people find you or your product, they tend to rave. Comments, recommendations and praise will probably contain some of the following phrases:

"I was wondering when this would be available."

"I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it earlier."

"I can’t wait to get mine."

"Why doesn’t ________ (enter name of professional organization or influencer ) endorse this product?"

"Why have we not heard about this before?"

The above responses are real and were not coerced, just a natural response of the discovery of long awaited products. In this blog and in my upcoming book Get Riche in a Niche-The Insider's Guide to Self-Publishing for a Specialized Market, I'll show you how to purposefully create and market your product for your audience to discover.

Writing a book is a great experience that can help you further your business opportunities. Publishing with it’s many requirements and resources could prove to be more work than you want to do, especially if writing is not our primary business. Self-publishing provides an increasingly valuable method of getting information to your audience.

Repurpose your old books.

www.redbikepublishing.com Hi everybody, If you are like me, you are working from home during this quarantine. For me that means working my day job at my kitchen table, and my Red Bike Publishing work in my study. Two different computer; two different rooms. I am currently republishing old books and slowing working on new ones. My main purpose is to use my security books to lead people to my newsletter and security training. This is a common practice for those who want to use their books as a business card. The books sold on Amazon.com have a call to action for them to engage with the author. That way when someone buys the book, they can also have a chance to learn more about the author or get more training. This has worked well for my security clearance books AND self publishing books. Are you planning on the same thing with your books? It even works for fiction. I know people who have used their novels to get people to join their newsletters for the following ideas and more.

Using a book to promote your business and vice versa.

They wonder what they should write about, what business they should focus on, how to market the book or the business, where to start, and how to grow. Perhaps this is your journey. If so welcome to the club. One of the most difficult tasks is settling on a topic, niche or business idea. It's important to understand where your expertise lies and how to reach others with your solution.

Whether you already have a business, want to learn how to start a business, or have a book, it's important to learn how to market your capability. I always say that one of the best ways to start a newsletter appropriate for your...
