Mr. Kremer graciously gave me permission to post some of his articles on my blog. I appreciate his efforts to help all of us market our books.Persistence: What You Have Control Overby John Kremer |
When
you are writing a book, you have lots of control over the content, style, and
format of your book, but once you start to market, you lose a lot of control.
You can't force media to feature you. You can't force bookstores to put your
book on their shelves. You can't force readers to read your book.
But
there is one thing you do have control over: That's your persistence. The
authors who get featured in media, the books that get placed on bookstore
shelves, the authors who get read by avid readers — they all have one thing in
common: The authors are persistent. They keep knocking on doors. They do
something every day to promote their books. They pick up the phone and make
calls, lots of calls. They do interviews. They socially network, day after day.
They create relationships.
They
make friends.
What
did you do today?
