I finally did it; i got my first book out, thanks to God Almighty. But right now i am thinking of how to sell the thousand copies off without depending on bookshops. I want to achieve that goal in a month. I believe anything is possible, but a lot of us av been thought to think one way, and that does not give room for creativity.

I would appreciate any comment, anything that comes to ur mind, no matter how funny it may seem.

By the way, my book title is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION: BECOMING A MONEY MAGNET.

^^^ They sell books house to house in America. Thought of that? 

Thought of selling rights for online copies?

You should try dwaytosuccess.com They may help you sell some e-version of your book.

Has the book been launched? You can also go to schools and offices.

Start from the known to the unknown; sell to friends and aquaintances first.After you have exhausted that, go to bookshops and strike a bargain with them. ive them a certain percent on every book sold or you could also do sales on return.

Note:Bringing out the book is the easy part, creating awareness for it is where the work starts.Most importantly, dont forget to always commit your project to God daily

Hi, my name is A.A Ahubelem i am the Author of "JOIN DON'T" a bold fast selling book in Nigerian. While Selling your book in Nigerian you would encounter a major problem which is distribution but here is how i handled mine.

1st of all i created a Facebook Page where i posted my book preview and invited my friends and urged them to invite others.

2nd I created a simple website http://www.jollyrogueseries.com/ you can create a blog if you can't create a website.http://jollyrougeseries..com/

Next when i got loads of comments on Facebook and people began to demand for the book, I began to deliver the book to them personally and charge for deliver. When i got request outside lagos, i gave them a discount and added the posting fee. I use ABC they charge 1100 for delivery.

When i had sold enough and broken even i began to visit bookshops and request that they showcase my book on their shelf. I issues them an invoice to collect payment after. After which i listed all the bookshops on my website.

When my fans on Facebook get bored i encourage them by posting an excerpt of my book (http://www.facebook.com/388942974500182/posts/432686380100262) to keep them engaged.

So far my book has sold 350 copies cash for the initial price of 2000 Naira and about 100 copies @ 1000 naira(i dropped the price after i broke even) I have about 200 unevenly distributed at bookshops at a 40 percent discount i.e for 600 naira.

What next i put the book on Amazon (Don't Join

Selling E-book is very hard so you might need to invest in Google adds and Facebook adds and buy targeted emails if you don't have a mailing list from your initial profit but trust me . Once your eBooks start selling you would keep smiling. I've current sold about 43 eBooks for the price of 4$ each and i am hoping to sell more.

Hope this was able to help. .
