#PublishingReinvented 14 - Dedication + A Marketing Tip To Add Depth
Dedication
Nothing good comes easy. It takes a while to appreciate the upside of that. First of all, we hope we have uniquely found the easy way to solve something. Our smarts and good fortune fool us into thinking we can bypass the hard road.
Then we find oit that what we thought was the short cut, was anything but.
The upside though of persisting, with blind dedication, is that with each step you leave the giver-uppers behind.
With each day you push on, your load growing, others are falling by the wayside into the slough of despondency.
You definitely don’t have to be the most talented to succeed as a writer. Dedication smooths the way.
As the Budha says: "Be a lamp unto yourself. Work out your liberation with diligence."
This virus will pass.
We will party again.
Diligence is within reach. Our best days are coming.
Marketing Tip:
In reviewing the most successful books we promoted in 2019 one thing stood out for me. They all had Editorial Reviews. And some were lengthy. Editorial reviews can be inserted for your book through Amazon Author Central. They appear above Reader Reviews and you can edit them.
A newspaper review is an Editorial Review. There are a variety of book review services, which deliver an Editorial Review, usually for a price, sometimes hefty.
The International Review of Books, which we own, is an Editorial Review service. See the magazine here. To get a $50 discount on their services, use coupon code: pubre1 at the checkout page.
There are also many other such services also available online.
Here is a summary of the free services for paying subscribers to this newsletter available now:
If you want a 1-10 score for how your book is presented please email a link to your book to me: lob@yourasms.com and I will send it to you. But please only do this if you are open to changing things.
