WORLD BOOK DAY
5 Unique, Free and Zany Ways to Sell Your Book
My ideas are better than ChatGPT’s
Happy World Book Day, my writerly friends!
So, let’s talk books — our books.
In 2017, I published my debut novel, With the Music. It’s a good book — I know this because people told me — but sales figures are lacklustre outside a few niche circles. This might be because I don’t bombard people’s social media and inboxes twice a day yelling at them to buy my book.
I’ve done a few indie author’s events in Barcelona and Melbourne. If people are interested, I’m always delighted to sell them a signed copy of my book, but I don’t force it down their gullets.
Until now.
The cost of living has gone up so I’ve now reached a happy stage in life where purchasing red meat from the supermarket is a rare treat. I tried some side hustles, but they’re not working.
So now it’s really time to flog my book.
