The notion that an excellent book will ultimately sell itself, with or without good promotion is the reason many writers become discouraged when they suddenly realize that literary excellence does not automatically equate to commercial success.
Before you write your next book, there are critical questions you must ask yourself and provide answers to:
Who am I writing to? Where is my target audience located, online or offline? How do I intend to reach my target audience? Does my target audience have the purchasing power to buy my book? What are their buying triggers?
This book provides you with a trajectory on how to answer these questions and the strategies you need to make passive income out of your writing career. This book is every writer’s guide, especially freelance writers and self-published authors!
