Writing a book – it sounds simple. Maybe it is. There is a process to make your book project a success. The process is not complicated, but there are a number of steps, and a recommended ordering of the steps.
You might think that the first step is writing. That could work, and many writers start there. But, there is an important step before writing: market research.
Who will buy your book? What are their expectations? How will your book satisfy their expectations? How will they find out about your book? How will they acquire a copy?
Answering those questions is part of market research and on the route to making your book happen, not a detour. After you have completed your self-publishing, and your book is available online, you don’t want to wonder why your book isn’t selling.
You can come up with some strategies at that point, maybe rework your book, or maybe give up on your book, maybe give up on your writing endeavor as well. The more you know about your market, your audience, before and while you are writing, the better your chance of success. And, the less of a need for corrective action later.
