Hello, Today's blog has something surprise moment for you.
I'm an author and I became suddenly but I taught my self to write books. I have written 2 books and It got great response but I wanted more sales so in this blog I will disclose a secret that how to sell books and grow the reader base.
I started searching some good online book writing software, almost every software was paid but I found reedsy.com and it worked but I couldn't design though reedsy.com has availability for designers and I didn't have capability to afford the services so I decided to sell without designed book.
I saw a publisher ad and it was Blurb, I liked it because I didn't have publisher. I submitted my book and tweeted first time on X for my book. It got response from an US based celebrity and he given it.
I was surprised and my book got few sales, after few months I received my first royalty but I felt doubt at the publisher that maybe they are hiding the numbers.
I moved to another publisher which was Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing after designing my book cover etc. through my own hand.
Here are the secrets that I used to design book cover.
Microsoft Word: I used MS word for designing my book cover and I used icons and symbols then I got a fantastic book cover.
Bibisco vs Others: I used writing software's community edition and it is Bibisco. It was great and has good functions.
Pricing: When I was selling with other publisher, their pricing was high but after coming at Kindle Direct Publishing, my book's pricing became low and I got opportunity to sell it in broad market.
