Most books don’t sell because most authors are too consumed about selling their books rather than building platforms

There is this beautiful feeling authors experience when they have a direct connection with their readers. It becomes even more elating when authors get to know that those readers are on tiptoes expecting their next book launch. Many of today’s bestselling authors like Daniel Pink, Charles Duhigg, Daniel Ariely, Pamela Slim, Chip, and Daniel Heath have these experiences. Technology has provided authors with access to tools that can help them build lasting relationships with readers without going through a third party. Despite this, many authors still have issues with selling their books. The problem is usually not the availability of resources but the application of those resources. Most authors tend to seek advice from Google, blogs, Twitter, podcasts, and forums on how to sell their books, but they end up being confused.
Don’t just write anything; let your writings focus on making the lives of people better.
This summary will provide you with information on building a good platform that would help you market your book. Also, you will get acquainted with the connection system 一 a gradual plan on how you can use online marketing tools to build your own platform. This connection system — permission, content, outreach, and sell — assists you in building long-lasting interactions with your readers. From this tidbit, you will learn how to share your ideas, impact the lives of others and sell your book in a fun way. Lessons from this summary will also contribute to your writing career and make you remain relevant for a long time.
A platform is whatever plan and method you use to connect with your readers and sell books. ~ Tim Grahl
second key point

You can create a lasting bond with people as a way of building an audience

Marketing is not about self–promotion. Self–promotion is when a marketer does not have the customer’s best interest at heart. It is all about building meaningful relationships with people and being helpful at all times. A design plan is necessary if you will be successful in anything you want to build. Alongside that, tools need to be selected, and you need to learn how to use these tools so we can achieve the best results. You need an internet marketing toolbox to build your online platform as an author. Any media interaction opportunity you use to engage with people for your online platform is a valuable resource that goes into your toolbox. Never focus solely on these tools, but rather develop a marketing blueprint and select the right tools suitable for building a marketing framework. Some valuable platforms that can be in your toolbox are social media platforms (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn), blogs, email marketing and podcasting.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
