Didn t you read my book

I just self-published a new book. Were not talking about some 30 page pdf that I threw together in an afternoon and am selling on my website. It also happens to be my first book. Now, obviously the point of selling it on Amazon is to make money right? I do want to make money and I do want to get paid, but trying to extract every drop of revenue that I can would actually be counterproductive to these goals in the long-term. This strategy is simple and designed to set up long-term results. You want to sell tens of thousands of copies of your book or even better, hundreds of thousands, or even millions , but chances are the number of followers you have is less than the number of books you hope to sell — and not every follower will buy a copy anyway.

One of the most common problems we see from authors are unrealistic expectations about what a book will get them. So many authors have fantasies in their head surrounding their book, and those fantasies lead them to make bad decisions about their book. The first fantasy authors usually have is about book sales. Some authors truly think that their book will sell millions of copies. The facts are clear: very, very few books sell a lot of copies.
