Self-publishing sales: are yours dwindling?
Are you happy with your self-publishing sales? Many authors struggle. The cost of advertising is high: they lose money.
The answer? Savvy authors use short fiction (short stories and novellas) to generate sales and income quickly.
A short story of 5,000 words can make more money than a 60,000 word novel.
In addition to sales, a short story or novella provides an excellent introduction to your books—and to you as an author. The more short stories you write, the more readers you gain.
Are you a new author, who’s wondering if self-publishing is worth it?
In a word, yes.
It is.
There’s a learning curve, naturally, especially if you’re attempting fiction.
You can shorten the learning process considerably if you start by writing and publishing short stories, rather than publishing a novel. The skills and confidence you develop will make writing your first novel a pleasure, instead of torture.
An aside: try writing fiction, even if you’re a new author. Here’s why: fiction outsells nonfiction on the Kindle Store by a factor of 6 to 1.
